Dont miss the trance to lose your (mind control) fear
No commentsBy Paul W Howard
We all like to believe we’re unique. But when it comes to our fears, we’re anything but.
Spiders, flying and public transport are all it takes to send many people into a state of anxiety or panic. Crowded places are simply terrifying to some people; some fears are of course rational, but others seem to have no simple explanation.
Experts say a few are evolutionary and they have developed in response to dangerous situations that may cause harm, such as a poisonous bite, or being in a situation that makes us feel trapped. If they aren’t instinctive we generally learn them from our parents, or by some long forgotten childhood event or a more recent trauma.
Many fears have some element of perceived danger in them, said Paul White, Chairman of the National Council for Hypnotherapy. To the sufferer, even a seemingly silly phobia - for example of boiled eggs - will hold a perceived danger, food poisoning perhaps, and this may have been set up by eating an egg that was rotten.
Fortunately, in the main, these responses are normal and often useful.
Children for instance, may retreat from a cliff edge because they sense they could fall. Fear of public speaking, which can reduce even the most confident person to a gibbering wreck, comes from a belief that they may be judged and seen as stupid, incapable or unprofessional. As a result, they will spend more time preparing to make sure their speech or presentation goes well.
However, for a large proportion of the public who experience a seemingly irrational reaction to an everyday object or situation, they have to deal with an entirely different form of anxiety that is commonly known as a phobia.
For instance, an agoraphobic may have a fear that they will be sick in public, which could have been set up because they were sick in front of some friends when they were a child and were ridiculed for it. This fear/phobia may not appear for 20 years and will seem to come out of the blue. For example he or she may initially have feelings of nausea, rapid heartbeat, flushing, increased respiration and chest pain when travelling on a bus. This initial attack will be interpreted in their mind as being unwell, believing it might be a heart or asthma attack. Not surprisingly this often makes the feelings of panic a lot worse. This attack will now be linked to the bus and travelling on public transport, where they felt trapped. He or she may have no understanding that it came from an earlier event. The fear of another attack may cause them to go to great lengths to steer clear of any situation where they may be trapped in a public place, or whatever circumstance triggered the reaction in the first place.
Surveys show that as our lives are improving in materialistic ways, our expectations are also rising with regard to happiness and fulfilment, and when the reality doesnt match the expectation; it leaves many of us feeling less content.
Acts of terrorism, despite the low odds of actually being affected by one, have naturally made flying and even travelling into our cities, more stressful.
But don’t get too worried or depressed. According to The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy, major anxiety problems are very treatable. Statistically hypnotherapy has been shown to be far more effective than virtually any other form of psychotherapy. Dr. Mary Lee Smith, world-renowned statistician, concludes in her book The benefits of Psychotherapy, that hypnotherapy is the most effective type of psychotherapy; with hypnotherapy being twice as effective as most other forms.
The Surrey Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy has been working successfully with various types of anxiety for many years. They have seen just about every type of anxiety going, from a fear of bananas, to a lady in her seventies with claustrophobia, agoraphobia and OCD.

Hypnosis And Anxiety Can Lead To A Cure
By John Hubert
Understanding the correlation between hypnosis and anxiety is essential to discovering a cure to this condition. You see hypnosis influences the way our subconscious fundamentally thinks and behave in almost every aspect.
If we apply hypnosis to our subconscious and give it suggestions to overcome anxiety, hypnosis and anxiety can effectively go together in order to create a cure that we might not normally believe to be possible. Whilst one shouldn’t expect a cure in the sense of getting rid of anxiety in its entirety, hypnosis can help treat the condition quite well.
Anxiety is triggered within us usually as a result of having a fear or being nervous of certain situations. As we gain life experience, it is natural to initially be nervous of certain things however later overcome them and see that there’s really no need to worry about them. Anxiety arises when, despite the fact that it makes no sense that we’re nervous of anxious about certain things, we still are.
Hypnosis itself works by guiding our minds into a deep and subconscious slumber, a sleepy state so to speak, whereby we can begin to enact certain changes in the way we behave. If we give ourselves enough positive suggestions then eventually hypnosis can be used to help overcome anxiety, almost in its entirety. Obviously, sticking to a set regimen is obviously important, and initially you may need to devote a fair amount of practice to the techniques. No one is saying that hypnosis will give you immediate results after the first session, even though it does for some people.
Give yourself realistic goals to overcoming your anxiety through hypnosis, make your initial goal to do one session of hypnosis per week, for a period of say several months, and then afterwards assess whether or not your anxiety and its triggers have been reduced. If they have, then obviously the hypnosis techniques you’re using are working, and should be maintained, if not, then perhaps you need to find another way to use anxiety and hypnosis to alleviate your psychological ailments.
Remember that practice makes perfect, as they say, and if you give up your hypnosis sessions initially then you’ll have little help of overcoming your anxiety. Make sure you stick to your plans and if need be, maybe even consider consulting the services of a professionally trained hypnotherapist who will be able to guide you on some of the better ways to use hypnosis and anxiety may very well be a thing of the past in your life. Keep at it, and eventually a cure could be within sight.

Using Hypnosis For Depression And Its Cure
By John Hubert
Believe it or not, but depression is a treatable and manageable disease. Whilst perhaps there isn’t any universal cure for it, using hypnosis for depression can help manage it in ways a lot greater than you might initially think or believe.
Let’s take for example the symptoms of depression. You have less motivation to do things, you feel quite lethargic and just don’t see a point, a reason or any ambition in doing things. This presents quite a problem as the less we do things, the less in touch we are with the world around us, the more we can become depressed and the further we delve into this troubling psychological state.
Thankfully however, hypnosis can be used to help treat, but not cure, depression. The way hypnosis works is by sending your mind into a subtle yet deep subconscious state. When you’re in this state you’re more open and prone to suggestion than you are normally. It’s by manipulating this state of the subconscious, and placing suggestions that are more likely to make the symptoms of depression easier to handle, that you’ll be able to help treat this state.
Of course hypnosis is not without its skeptics. Some people will claim that hypnosis essentially is just a placebo effect, that you will something to happen enough and it does. This is pretty much essentially what hypnosis is! It is about making your mind believe in something enough so that it becomes a reality, and if the results of such a thing can be demonstrated to cause so much benefit for so many people, then obviously the processes of hypnosis do work.
Give it enough time and using hypnosis for depression will do wonders for you. This psychological state that you enter into can effectively rid you of a number of ailments that you may have, and treating depression is definitely possible. Like with all things, patience is a necessity, and you’ll need to willingly guide yourself into these deep, euphoric, relaxing and ultimately blissful states of calmness that your mind and body experience as a result of hypnosis. This calm is derived from the your mind finally being able to relax itself after thinking about things so much each and every day.
So don’t worry, and don’t feel depressed or stressed. Give self hypnosis a go, and your depression may just surprisingly be minimized, and who knows, it may even go away. I’m not saying that you’ll come across a depression cure, but I am saying that you will come across a way that you can easily manage it.
