Hypnosis Gold Coast Style!

Tuesday, April 20th, 2010

What does Hypnosis feel like?

What does it feel like when you are falling asleep?  What does it feel like when you allow your mind to wander and daydream? Well that’s what it feels like in hypnosis. It’s a nice physical and mental feeling of total relaxation. There are different levels of hypnosis. Light hypnosis feels very much like your normal waking state, as you go deeper you feel more relaxed. I guess the worst part is having to come out of it!

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state also known as a ‘trance’ like state.  Everyone enters that state many times per day. 

Have you ever been driving somewhere and you can’t remember the road you just travelled on?

Well you were in a light state of trance…

Have you ever read a paragraph of a book and then had to re-read it because you zoned out?

You were in a light state of trance then too…

What about at a meeting?  Have you ever taken on that glazed looked and zoned out?

Of course you have and you were in a light state of trance …

It is a state where the critical/judging part of your conscious mind is by-passed, to some degree, and because of this, suggestions given at this time are more likely to ‘stick’ in your mind and take effect.

We spend most of our waking hours in full conscious awareness.  In this state, our mind is attentive and uses logic to reason, evaluate, assess, judge, and make decisions.  Unfortunately, when making life changes, such as breaking bad habits or changing negative thoughts, the conscious mind often gets in the way.

In the Hypnotic State, the doorway between the conscious and the unconscious is opened, memories become easily accessible, and new information is stored.  In the Hypnotic State, you are not really “thinking” in the traditional sense.  You are “experiencing” without questioning, without critical judgment or analysis, like when you watch a movie, or when you are day dreaming.

In this state a hypnotherapist can make suggestions that are very likely to “stick” – precisely because your conscious mind is not getting in the way.  You are not “judging” or being “critical” of the suggestions.

Can everyone be hypnotised?

Only those who choose to be and those who have enough mental capacity to follow directions, can be hypnotised.

Although we all spend time each day in that state we call hypnosis, in order to be hypnotised by someone you must want to go into hypnosis and follow the hypnotist’s direction to the letter

You are in control. You can choose to let yourself relax or not.  There is no hypnotist on the planet who can hypnotise you against your will.

What if the hypnotist makes me do something I don’t want to do?

Some people have a concern that someone is going to put suggestions into their head that they don’t want? Or make you dance around like a ‘chicken’.  Remember your conscious mind is by-passed to some degree, but not totally, you are always aware at some level of what is being said and YOU CHOOSE to accept it or not. 

Some people have a slight fear of the hypnosis or of the ‘unknown’. But really it’s not unknown. We go into that state when we fall asleep, when we awaken, or when we are focused on one task, like driving or reading a book. 

What Can Hypnosis Be Used For?

Hypnosis is used for many things. Here are some of the more common things:

  • Anxiety
  • Bed Wetting
  • Confidence
  • Insomnia
  • Libido
  • Pain Control
  • Phobias
  • Relaxation
  • Self Esteem
  • Sports Performance
  • Stop Smoking
  • Weight Loss

Why Some People Explode to Success …..

Tuesday, March 30th, 2010

People ask me regularly how they can achieve better results in their life.  There is always more to do and it seems like less time to do it, less money to do it with and less energy available when you need it.  My take on achieving better results is this.  If you hold on to al the ‘old stuff’ in your life, how on earth can you pick up new things like new ideas, opportunities or tasks.  We each hold onto past beliefs that limit us, past emotions that limit us and doubts that limit us.  Why not come and learn how to let go of all that so you can start fresh and focus on improving results in your life?

‘Design Your Future’ seminars will teach you how to use your mind to remove the obstacles that prevent you from achieving what you want.  People who attend these seminars have incredible results.

The seminar has had a profound impact on my thinking power and I know that I am in control of my own life again. You have truly given me a gift. …Thank you I feel free again. Thank you. Thank you..” Angela – Brisbane

“For years I have felt that I am being held back from what it really is I want. I had no idea what was holding me back. In 2 days I have had those reigns taken off – released. I am so looking forward to my future. Thank you.” Marslie – Brisbane

“Deciding to bring my children along was a big decision. I thought if they could just take one good thing each out of both days then it would be well worth it. The children [12 & 16 years] have learnt and I know already they will benefit from this course in many ways. I was surprised at how much they enjoyed their time. They are already correcting me!!” Many thanks Jill – Gold Coast.

Warning: Are your thoughts ruining your life?

Thursday, March 11th, 2010

I’m not sure if you know that statistically we have about 90,000 thoughts going on in our head every single day.  That’s a lot of thoughts!

So many self help books tell us to think positively.  While I agree in part, how do you monitor that many thoughts per day to ensure they are positive?  The truth – well you just can’t.

Other books tell you to stop focusing on negative thoughts or the things you don’t want.  How do you achieve this exactly?

If I told you to think about anything for one hour, except for a white polar bear, what you will find is that the bear will spring to your mind many times over that hour.  Not sure?  Then why not experiment with it.   For the next hour, think of anything except a white polar bear!

So why is it that the very thing you don’t want to think about is so present in your mind?  Well, in order to ‘not think’ of something, you first have to think about it, then negate it in your mind and think about something else.

Here’s the real problem:  If you are thinking about ‘not’ being something or ‘not’ having something you don’t want, you are actually projecting that into the environment around you and you end up getting more of what you don’t want.

How is it that angry people seem to attract other angry people and get into fights that the rest of us ‘non angry’ people seem to avoid?  Because they are projecting thoughts based on anger into the world around them.

If you tell someone who is on a diet, not to have chocolate, they are more than likely to consume more as a result.  However, tell a person on a diet to eat more vegetables and that’s where their focus will be.

The more negative thoughts you have (and try not to have) the more damage you may be doing to your life, both internally and externally.  It can affect your health and your ability to move forward.

So why not learn how to let go of negative thoughts, emotions, beliefs and doubts that prevent you from having your life the way you want it.

Divorce & NLP – how it CAN help

Thursday, March 4th, 2010

7 months ago my marriage of 16 years ended which, for those of you out there who have experienced this, is pretty devastating to say the least. When something you have known for 16 years ends and everything changes, how do you move forward? What happens to your self esteem, self confidence and self worth? How quickly life changes after a big decision like that…..

I’ve been thinking about sharing with my readers for a while now the techniques I use to keep moving forward and focusing on what I want. This is what helped me….

1. Confidence is an emotional feeling and we are in control of our feelings. All too often we let others tell us how to feel, how to act and what to say and do. You can control your state from moment to moment. If you haven’t read my blog on ‘Circle of Excellence’ then log onto my website and see my previous blog on how to control your state. Then take action and follow the steps outlined in the blog.  You will be feeling more confident in no time!

2. There are two sides to the life equation – cause side and the effect side. People on the effect side blame everything and everyone else for not having their life as they would like it. Those on the cause side ask themselves, how have I contributed to this and what can I do to change my reaction to it even if I can’t change the outcome? Being on the cause side means that you are in control and can change any feeling or behaviour you want. I absolutely know what role I played in the demise of my marriage and I now have some significant learning stored away that enables me to feel a sense of power again in my own life. Check out my blog on ‘Cause and Effect’ then put it into practice. Even if you just ‘pretend’ you are at cause as if it is only a game – it will still work!

3. Clean out your negative emotions! I assume you all clean your house or your car from time to time so what about your own mind? The thoughts you hold in your mind affect your body. Just think about something you are angry about and notice the feelings you get inside your body!  This isn’t healthy and takes you away from what it is you really want. Check out my blog on ‘The Secret to Feeling Fabulous Everyday’ then give me a call. I work with international clients over Skype.

Of course there are many other techniques that I use to keep me feeling that I am worth it and I do deserve to be happy and whole. I’m so excited about my future because now I can help other people, both men and women, to regain their spirit and their power after divorce.

So is there light at the end of the tunnel after divorce?

There is not only a light – there is a shining light, lighting up the future you deserve.

If your relationship needs some attention, call 1300 388875 or go to www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au

Bye for now….

NLP & 2010 – what’s really ahead?

Wednesday, January 6th, 2010

So it is a fresh new year and for some a fresh new start.  A time to say ‘goodbye’ to the old ways of 2009 and to create a new you in 2010.  As I sit here on my computer (not literally of course), I’m wondering how many of you actually ‘clear’ out all the emotional baggage from the previous year.  You know, all those things that hold you back from having your life exactly the way you want it.  Such as, negative emotions, doubts about your abilities, lack of self confidence, fears, bad habits etc. 

How many of you carry that emotional baggage with you year in and year out?  Pushing issues that you don’t want to deal with to the back of your mind, only to find them reappear at the most inappropriate moments.  Then you start a new year with the best of intentions and set resolutions for the year ahead, only to feel bitterly disappointed when you don’t achieve them.

Why not let go of that emotional baggage once and for all?

Imagine if you were travelling with a suitcase full of stuff and issues you don’t want.  It is heavy, it wears you down and prevents you from moving as fast as you would like.  It prevents you from doing all the fun and exciting activities you really want to do because you are carrying this bulky suitcase with you.  Would you continue on your journey like this?  No of course you wouldn’t.  You would soon find a way to chuck out all the stuff you don’t want and probably buy a backpack and only carry those things that you really need and want.

So what’s the difference?

When you think about it logically – there is little difference.  Just like off loading contents from a suitcase you don’t need, you can easily let go of emotional issues that have been holding you back.  How?

  1. Book a personal one on one coaching session that can be done either in person, over the phone or via Skype, or
  2. Attend a ‘Design Your Future’ workshop and learn the techniques to let go of the issues once and for all.  You don’t need to share any information with anyone else at the workshops and you work through your own issues in confidence.  Our next course is held March 20-21 on the Gold Coast, Queensland, Australia.  For more info visit: http://www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au/workshops.html Early Bird tickets are still available but you need to act quickly.

Ask yourself, how much longer do you need to carry around that emotional baggage?  Or is it now time to let it go and create a 2010 that works for you in all areas of life.

A quick visit to the above website or a call to 1300 388875 is all it takes.

Bye for now….

The Secret to Feeling Fabulous Everyday

Tuesday, January 5th, 2010

Is it really possible to feel fabulous everyday?  Absolutely! 

So what is it I do exactly?

Well big picture – imagine you wanted a new bathroom, what’s the first thing you would do?  That’s right – you would take out all the old fittings.  Well that is what I do – I help you to resolve all those horrible past issues and emotions quickly and easily, so you can reach your true potential and live a fabulous life.

I regularly see people who suffer from anxiety, depression, post traumatic stress disorder, obsessive compulsive disorders, anger management, stress management, phobias and children with ADHD.  In fact there are so many different issues that these techniques can help.

After you explain your problem either in person or over the phone, I ask a series of specific questions to discover the core underlying issues.  I then teach you the techniques to release those issues. We then test and make sure the problem’s gone.

There is now a lot of research in the area of psycho-neuro-immunology, which demonstrates that holding on to negative emotions adversely affects your health.  When people realise this they want to let go old emotional baggage now and start living again.

This is a very fast process, for example, a phobia normally takes less than an hour.  Anger management issues can take between one to two hours.  A personal break-through session covering all aspects of life can take 8 to 10 hours.  So it is really quick and the changes are amazing.

I’m a Master Practitioner and Trainer of Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP), Time Line Therapy™, Coaching and Hypnosis.  I teach people how to let go of their old emotional baggage and remove obstacles so they feel good about themselves and achieve exactly what they want.

Ring me now on 1300 388875 or visit www.lifechangingsolutions.com.au  for more information.

Bye for now….

Do you have doubts about your future?

Wednesday, September 9th, 2009

Do you have doubts about your ability to achieve what you want in your career?

Do you have doubts about being able to make enough money?

Do you ever underestimate your own abilities?

Do you sometimes look at what you want in the future, and then doubt your ability to achieve it?

 If you answered ‘yes’ to any of those then you are certainly not alone. 

 Over time we all have doubts about ourselves, our ability to make money, our skills and about being able to achieve our goals.

Doubts are basically limiting beliefs that we create that result in limiting ourselves and therefore our results.  The good news is that we are in control of whether we doubt ourselves or whether we believe in ourselves.  What isn’t immediately obvious is that seconds before we felt that doubt we actually made an unconscious decision to doubt the very thing we most want. 

What’s great about that is we can do something about it.  Using the process of Time Line Therapy™ we can easily adopt new resourceful beliefs that can help us achieve what we want out of our lives.

Think about this ….  Once upon a time you were 12 years old and you believed you were a 12 year old.  Now that you are no longer 12 years old, where is that belief?  That’s right – it no longer exists.  So beliefs are changeable from moment to moment.  I used to believe I couldn’t drive a car until I got my licence and now I believe I can. 

How powerful would it be to be able to remove doubts or beliefs that limit you in some way?  Would it be of value to learn how to control those beliefs and start living your life the way you want it without those doubts.

Well that is exactly what I do!  I help people remove the obstacles including self doubt that stands in their way of having their life the way they want it.  The techniques are fun, quick and easy to do.

Kids Anxiety? NLP Can Help

Tuesday, September 1st, 2009

Kids can get anxious about many many things.  Exam anxiety, school anxiety, anxiety about friends and family to name a few.  And I don’t just mean young kids.  Young adults also get anxious, especially when it comes to fitting in socially and also around exam time.

When a child or adult feels anxiety or is anxious about something it is simply a warning from their unconscious mind that they are focusing on what they don’t want or something going wrong.  Of course, they don’t understand that but you will as an adult.  Try this out for a moment.  Try and be anxious about something in your past that went really well.  You can’t!

Using the NLP Anxiety model and a variety of NLP techniques, I show kids how to start focusing on what they do want and how to let go of anxiety and fear.  The actual process for anxiety only takes a few minutes to teach them.  The sessions are fun and quick as kids are usually very quick at picking up the techniques.  Mum and Dad also get a quick lesson so that they can keep the anxiety technique going once they leave my office.

Watching a child let go of anxiety is a wonderful experience for everyone concerned, including me. 

I run these sessions either in person, over the phone or they can be done via Skype – the kids love that by the way!

Anxiety Treatment with NLP

Monday, August 31st, 2009

I worked with a client who had been suffering anxiety for about 6 years and it was seriously affecting his home life.  When he came to see me, he had three panic attacks before I was able to get him to sit down to start the NLP techniques.  Three hours later, he had let go of all his emotional baggage, including fear and then I taught him a simple NLP Anxiety Model.  As a result he was able to let go of his anxiety and start focusing on what he wanted out of life.  On his way out of my office, he told me he was going to take his wife and two kids out for dinner for the first time in two years.  What was that worth do you think?

When a person feels anxiety or is anxious about something it is simply a warning from their unconscious mind that they are focusing on what they don’t want or something going wrong.  Try this out for a moment.  Try and be anxious about something in your past that went really well.  You can’t!

Using the NLP Anxiety model and a variety of NLP techniques, I show people how to start focusing on what they do want and how to let go of anxiety.  The actual process only takes a few minutes to teach you.  What you need to do is to want to let it go and then leave the rest to me.

What is your anxiety preventing you from doing, having and being?  Why not see what life looks like once you have let your anxiety go.

Spider Phobia

Thursday, August 27th, 2009

I used to have a terrible fear of spiders and it became so bad that I remember driving my kids in the car one day and I saw a huge spider on the windscreen and without even thinking I began swerving all over the road and then jumped out leaving my children in the car with the spider!  It was completely irrational and I could have hurt the kids but at the time I couldn’t help it.

 Living in Forest Glen on the Sunshine Coast, I was faced with spiders on a regular basis and knew I had to do something about it.

People with phobias may struggle with the inability to control their fears.  This is because the root cause of the phobia lies at the unconscious level of the mind; so conscious effort or willpower won’t work to control a serious phobia. A phobia is best dealt with at the unconscious level, which is why the Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) Fast Phobia Model produces the most effective results.’

The NLP Fast Phobia Model enabled me to let go of my phobia and it only took about 30 minutes.  And while I don’t want to necessarily pick up a spider, I can now live in harmony with my hairy little neighbours!  I now teach these techniques to anyone who is struggling with a fear of spiders or snakes, fear of heights or fear of small spaces, the NLP techniques produce rapid results.
