What’s scary about spiders? The phobia of spiders

Sunday, September 28th, 2008

What’s scary about spiders? The phobia of spiders

Tired of being petrified of spiders?

Want to get back in control of dealing with them easily with out being hysterical?

Well read on….

First of all, in order to change how we react to spiders, we must recognise how we run the phobic reaction/behaviour of Arachnophobia.

For some reason, in one event or simply a sequence of events, have caused you to have a phobia of spiders.

You may be aware of that one event or you may not – it doesnt really matter to be honest. But because you were once scared or you had an experience or experiences of jumping back when one crept up on you unexpectedly, your unconscious or subconscious mind has been conditioned to think spiders are scary things.

Quite frankly they are not scary things in reality, they are no different than other creatures such as moths or daddy long legs, BUT it doesn’t matter about reality, it’s about your association to the spider, right? It’s your reaction to the spider, its how you see.

Because if you think of a spider now, it will probably cause you to imagine, think, or feel a certain way (a not very nice way), but maybe something else like a Daddy Longlegs would not have that feeling. Maybe a feeling of control or indifference about them.

So it’s really about your minds association toward the spider, not the spider itself. In a way you have been prejudice towards the poor little spider, whereas the other creatures are fine to go about there day…how mean of you :)  

Okay let’s get serious, now we know that our decisions from past experiences have caused us to have a fearful association toward the spider.
 
But how do we change it. Well through Hypnosis/hypnotherapy, NLP and my own techniques we can re-condition your mind and unconscious to dissolve the fear and replace it with maybe indifference, maybe humour, control and confidence – the choice is yours.

Together we can get your unconscious mind to feel in control around them – you may not love them still (but then again you’re not going to marry the spider anyway… I hope!), but you can and will feel in control around them, to deal with them in the safest most appropriate way.

Why not try my Overcome Arachnophobia Hypnosis CD or MP3 download (£5/$8 cheaper) and get over the phobia.

You owe it to the poor little spiders to no longer be prejudice toward them, and accept them like all other creatures…..

Taking your football to the next level with Hypnosis.

Friday, September 26th, 2008

Taking your football to the next level with Hypnosis.

Imagine improving all aspects of your game by 15 – 30 %

How would that improve your skills, vision, reactions and creativity on the pitch?

Where would that next level take you?

But can it be done? Why and how?

Yes it can, many footballers/teams have specialists to do just this, footballs a big business and every goal, save and tackle can mean the differences between a twenty million pound drop in revenue to reaching finals. Teams can not afford not to do it.

They know that players have to train almost every day to reach peak performance. Where they condition the muscles to work hard for stamina, longevity and success.

But they know the real secret too. What it is?

Well you can get the best footballer, but without the right mindset, they fall to the wayside of the rest. Confidence is a big factor, we hear it all the time “The striker needs to get a goal to get the confidence back”, “A good first save will give the keeper confidence”, its vital, right?

But there’s more. How to you keep the confidence and have peak focus?

By training the brain to achieve specific goals and targets. Any average footballer can be a great footballer by training the mind to get in gear and develop confidence and control on the pitch.

How low was David Beckhams confidence after 1998 world cup sending off? Everyone slated him. But look at him now, went on to become the England Captain, Moved to Madrid, went to America. Guess what? He saw Hypnotist.

Interesting eh?

All the best sports stars from Tiger Woods to Beckham, to Boxing to Darts, know that there mind is the thing that gets them those results, the power of focus.

Hypnosis does just that. It works with the conscious mind and unconscious mind so that you are aligned, in peak performance and you achieve goals. If you practise physically on the pitch you improve, it goes for the same with the mind, you practise mentally – you improve.

Imagine turning up your focus and confidence up by 15- 30%

Use Hypnosis, even check you my Improve your Football Performance Hypnosis CD or MP3 Download, there’s also a free audio clip to really hear what its like.

It’s all in your feet, its all in your mind.

!Revision and learning can be a stressful time for anyone

Thursday, September 25th, 2008

Revision and learning can be a stressful time for anyone, especially if you have problems with procrastination and remembering vital information.

 

 

Do you feel that its hard to remember and retain information?

 

 

Do you wish that you could simply and easily remember all the information you need without worry, anxiety and frustration?

 

 

To feel confident that your unconscious mind is fully absorbing all the vital pieces of information you need?

 

 

What if there was a way to give you the motivation and ability to recall information at will?
 
How would it improve your performance when revising and learning?
 
What wonderful future opportunities may arise through your success?

 

 

I believe Hypnosis is that Key!

 

 

Hypnosis taps into the unconscious mind and your unconscious mind is the domain of all learning. Your unconscious mind is always the thing that remembers, stores and allows you to continue to learn.

 

Imagine remembering vital information as easy as walking. After all you don’t conscious think about walking really do you? Nor driving? Eating or breathing? It’s just an unconscious process.

 

Using hypnosis we can at first let go of any limiting decisions when it comes to learning such as ‘I cant remember things’ ‘I’m not good and learning’ ‘it takes me for ever to learn and remember information’,

 

We can then tap into the power of the unconscious to retain important information while acquiring all the internal resources you need to revise with ease.
 
If you were able to successfully learn and revise then you would do, wouldn’t you? The fact that you cannot must mean that your unconscious is limiting your learning strategies and instilling negative associations to learning.
 
My Enhance Learning & Revision hypnosis CD or mp3 download will work directly with your unconscious to reach new levels of accelerated learning and memory recall!

 

 

All the stress, worry and anxiety will be replaced with confidence and power – the power to remember

consciously and unconscious beyond you wildest dreams. Try it out.

Do you get too anxious before exams?

Tuesday, September 23rd, 2008

Do you get too anxious before exams?

 

Does the thought of retaining and remembering all the information feel you with fear and dread?

 

Do you completely worry until you feel out of control?

 

Read on then…

 

Exams can seem like a make or break situation regarding our future. Which can cause as fear, anxiety and worry.

 

We put all our conscious effort into learning and trying to remember what we have to remember. But when simply thinking of the exam feels you with dread…..we get problems.

 

If you’ve been revising to your best but the stress of the exam throws you off from being confident and competent then Hypnosis may be the key that unlocks the door to confidence, calmness and most of all knowing your stuff!

 

The reason why is this:

 

You conscious know a lot, but you unconscious mind is the domain of all your memories and learning. If you’ve read it, heard it or seen it you unconscious mind can remember it its just know how to work it. Further more if you can not control conscious it must mean the unconscious mind is running the ‘stress’ of the exams. So trying to remember your stuff becomes a big problem.

 

However why does it stress out?

 

Maybe Fear of failure?

Wanting to succeed?

Feelings of not knowing enough or being good enough to hit the grades you need?

 

Whatever it is, by running the stress for exams its trying to protect you. Trying to not fail, and wants you to succeed. But the behaviours seems simply errrrr rubbish!

 

However using Hypnosis and my Hypnotherapy CD Overcome Exam stress, you are able to finally release the stress!

 

Finally be able to feel comfortable, calm, reserved and confident.

 

Through my Hypnotic suggestions on the Overcome Exam Stress Hypnosis CD or MP3 download together we will come up with empowering beliefs, feelings and new ways of dealing with stress so that you approach exams calmly and confidently!

 

Now take the time to make sure you are 100% confident with exams and be free of stress through the power of Hypnosis!

Drive you confidence to new heights!

Wednesday, September 17th, 2008

I think most of us have had or do have low self esteem or confidence issues.

Like I said I did. I was an unconfident child, shy, self conscious and would blush. I would shiver at the thought of talking in front of new people.

Bu t I decided to take action! Are you?

Hypnosis truly changed my life; it’s got me to where I want to be. I am a very confident (and competent – that’s vital) person.

I used to have the following limiting beliefs and thoughts about myself and life.

Not good enough
Fear for failure
Not worthy
I am unconfident
I’ll always be this way
It’s not worth trying

I also felt the following feelings:

Fear
Hurt
Anger
Sadness
Inferiority
Intimidation
Worry
Anxiety

Ever had those thoughts, beliefs and feelings?

I had ALL of them and MORE! So you are not alone and there are powerful ways of changing…..

Hypnosis was my ‘key’ that unlocked the ‘real’ me. The kick ass me, the competent me, the I will succeed and fulfil my dreams me.

We all have that real ‘me’ like a faint light waiting to be ignited and released to be our potential. It’s just masked by our limiting thoughts, feeling, beliefs and behaviours.

And guess what? There simply unconscious…. As if you were conscously in control you would let of them right?

Hypnosis taps straight to the core of the unconscious, its resolves, dissolves and evolves those issues to be the real you, your potential.

Through Hypnotherapy, my own techniques and NLP (Neuro linguistic programming) we can make things happen.

Hypnosis did it for me, check out my videos, I train in front of so many people, I work with the intimidating celebrities, I work with people with the biggest issues who are distraught, conflicted and hopeless and rely on me to get results. Do I buckle? Hell no, I love it. I love freeing people so that they can be their potential, so they can have the freedom they deserve the freedom you deserve!

Check out my Develop Self Confidence Hypnosis CD or MP3 download.

Be your potential!

Assumption – the key that unlocks all.

Saturday, September 13th, 2008

Assumption – the key that unlocks all.

Neville in the book ‘Awareness’ (a must read by the way!!) wrote an amazing yet challenging statement that can dissolve the biggest issues in our life.

‘Assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled’

Wow – did you get it? Let’s explore a little deeper to really find out what it means.

The only thing that is important to realise is that ‘your’ reality is the only thing that matters if you wish to change your life. Your perception of what you think and beliefs you hold about yourself and the world is true for you. If you belief you are not good enough or that the world is a bad place, that men or women cheat – then that is your perception and in your mind it is true for you.

Is the cup half full or half empty?

It is whatever you perceive it to be, there is no right, no wrong – just your perception.

Your perception of your life (you reality) is the sum of all your beliefs, attitudes, past behaviours and memories.

Your level of consciousness or your perception of what you think is true, is the most powerful thing you have. Unfortunately we ‘choose’ to use it in the wrong way because it’s the only way we know how to.

Now is the time to change that right?

Your mind can not tell the difference between what is true and what is imagined. Studies have found this out over a long time now. And the very images you hold in your mind can cause you to feel a certain way.

For example if someone has a phobia, if they think that that fearful thing, they will feel fear, even though it’s on there in reality.

If you think of some event in the future you are anxious about, you will feel anxiety or fear even though it’s a way of in the future.

However lets turn this round on its head for a moment shall we?.

Okay – here we go…..

When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled, or imagine, feel, act as if you have achieved your outcome. Your inner perceptions of reality will then change, you become truly aligned in getting whatever you want. Your reality will then change and you will begin to find, see, and manifest your true desires!

If you want more finances, a better career, that special person, if you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled you will become congruent in achieving your goals, your unconscious mind will find you everything you need. It will simply look out for them.

When you assume the feeling of the wish fulfilled you are stepping into the last step of the goal, acting as if you have it already – accepting nothing less. When this happens, your consciousness begins to shift to only getting your outcome. If you are 100% committed and you are acting and reacting from a physical and psychological attitude of already having your goals will achieve anything you wish.

But here’s the thing….. we sure think of all the things we don’t want to happen ‘I don’t want to be broke’ , ‘I don’t want to fail’, ‘I don’t want to be hurt’ We inadvertently focusing on everything we don’t want. We must take responsibility to change our level of focus on the feeling of the outcome already fulfilled.
.

What are you feeling right now? And what perceptions and reality is it creating for you? What results are you getting?

What if you today, everyday simply assume the feeling of your desired outcome as if you had right now? You would achieve all your goals. It just works. But told let me just tell you – try it out for yourself!

Now what holds you back in being the real you?

Thursday, September 4th, 2008

Now what holds you back in being the real you?

Maybe Limiting beliefs, limiting thoughts, limiting behaviors even negative feelings such as fear?

What would it be like if we could simply be free of them – ALL OF THEM!

How would your career, health, happiness, finances and relationships transform?

Probably immensely!

But why don’t we take the courage to be our true potential?

Firstly we give into our circumstances as if we can not change them, we buy into our own reasons for not having the life the way we want it. We accept the excuses that we give ourselves to make us feel better.  Or worse we actually buy into other people’s expectations, society’s expectations, the expectations we have been brought up on.

What would happen if Martin Luther King brought into society’s expectation for not having equality between races? What if he thought ‘I’m one man, how can I change the world?’

We’d see a different world today wouldn’t we?

How about, Gandhi? Mother Teresa? Nelson Mandela? And anyone who faced issues personally and globally?

Where would be right now if those didn’t take responsibility and say ‘Hey this isn’t right’, ‘I won’t take it anymore’, ‘I refuse to be dis-empowered’, ‘I want freedom’

Thankfully they didn’t – they took a stand for what they believed in. They choose to ‘take action’; they choose to reclaim their lives. They took ownership for where they are, and where they want to be.

What if you refused to buy into your limiting expectations, the people around us and thier expectations, and society’s expectations to be a certain way?

By taking ownership on all areas of your life, by taking ownership for any issue you have, you then no longer push everything out of your own control. If you own the problem, you can find the solution.

How would you feel if at the end of your life, you look back and think ‘Why didn’t I go for that?’ ‘Why didn’t I go for that person, that job, that opportunities?’

I can guarantee you can look back now at your childhood and think if I knew what I knew now, that obstacle or problem wouldn’t have been such a problem, you would of dealt with it or just changed it. In the future you will do that same; you will see more possibilities than you may now. But it doesn’t have to be that way – you can take a stand, talk hold of your dreams, take action on your goals, and be the real you!!

So you have a choice, to be a product of life and what it throws at you, OR NOW allow life to be a product of what you have created.

Be the creator – will you?
