Stress is not a happy experience when it starts to adversely affect everything you do and everything you think about.  There is a useful function to stress; psychologists identified the ‘Fight or Flight Syndrome’ many years ago.  This is when the body physically and mentally reacts to a fear inducing situation by preparing to either fight the foe or run away very quickly.  Our adrenaline increases and our blood flow concentrates itself on our essential organs to help us react strongly.

However, they also identified that people in a permanent level of high arousal actually suffer from more illnesses and are much more likely to suffer from heart disease (Coronary Type A Types) than those who could switch off the reaction and really relax (Coronary Type B Types).  High levels of stress over a long period of time make our bodies act like Coronary Type A people and so they are bad for us.

It is not as simple as taking a pill and getting better. What we really need to do is learn to relax - not the type of relaxation we get on the sofa watching the TV but the type we get when we can switch off and deeply relax our minds.

The easiest, proven way to do this is through mild hypnosis.  Hypnosis allows us to go into a gentle trance-like state where the mind switches off and relaxes as well as the body.  Studies show that this helps with things like speedy recovery from surgery and the alleviation of depression.  teach you how to achieve full relaxation, get rid of the stress and help you to control your reaction to stressful situations.  Mild Rick Collingwood’s relaxation CDs and MP3 trackshypnosis can help you de-stress easily.

We all experience unhappiness at some point in our lives.  Failed relationships, bereavement, job loss, stress, low self-esteem can all lead us to unhappiness and even despair.  But we can pull ourselves up by the boot straps and get on with our lives and, if we are lucky, our unhappiness turns into just one of life’s little blips.

Sadly, for some people, this attitude does not work.  There are thousands of people who are so unhappy for such long periods that it seems that they can never be free of it and experience true happiness again.  But there is a medically proven solution at hand with hypnosis.  Hypnosis stems from the Greek word for ‘Sleep’, it is essentially a way of truly relaxing the mind.

Hypnosis can be coupled with cognitive restricting of the mind, or more simply, with getting the mind to change how we react to situations and experiences.  Once this is accomplished, we find that we do not see the situation we are in as unending and overwhelming and we can once again take charge of our lives.

Rick Collingwood has worked for years in the fields of hypnosis and mental health.  He has released hypnosis CDs and MP3 tracks that allow you to relax into the appropriate state of mind where changing how you think and react, and therefore how you behave and feel, can be easily achieved.  So if you are unhappy and suffering from the anxiety that comes with that you will find that a gentle course of hypnosis will have you feeling back on top of the world without you even trying.

Hypnotherapy presents lasting change to those mindsets looking for release, ultimately bringing them freedom. It is sad but true that many citizens of the world have had to endure hardships that sometimes cause people to lose focus on reality. This is called trauma.

In the case of someone who was abused at a very young age, for instance, that person obviously did nothing to deserve that kind of treatment but years later the trauma of that experience has filtered into their adult life and has defined some strong characteristics. The person believes this is who the truly are.

The opposite is also true for someone who has low self esteem, suicidal tendencies or is introverted. Everyone is born free but circumstance ultimately enslaves us. Hypnotherapy is one of the ways that people can connect with themselves to find that true strength that lies within each of us.

How are some people so successful and others not?

The story of the rich man and the poor man is one as old as civilization itself. How is it possible that two men born in the same place at the same time can have two totally different outcomes to their lives? In a simple explanation it comes down to condition. One person conditioned himself for success and the other for failure.

Now while we may feel that nobody would intentionally condition himself for failure the truth is that all over the world we see people who have done just that. Hypnotherapy is a great way to re-program a person’s belief system through hypnosis. Hypnotherapy can help people lead stronger, fuller lives.

For many chronic insomnia sufferers the wonderful feeling of waking up in the morning completely refreshed in mind and body has become a vague memory. All they know is the reality of that sluggish feeling from the sleeping pills as they try to focus when waking up.

Insomnia can be one of the most debilitating ailments and it has incredibly far-reaching affects in the life of the insomnia sufferer. Insomnia is the inability to get regular sleep that is deep, revitalising and essential to life.

This impacts on each part of your life from work, home life, relationships and sport. Over time, the constant lack of sleep not only makes you grumpy and irritable, it also impairs your judgement and your reaction time in any situation. It is no surprise therefore that insomniacs take sleeping medication even when they know it will most likely have many side-affects.

Take a new step and get your life back

The answer to insomnia does not lie in a bottle of pills; it lies in hypnotherapy. The benefits of using hypnosis instead of pharmaceutical drugs are many. Completely safe, no side-effects, no possible addiction, improvement in all areas of life and better performance in work and play.

It has been proven over a long time that it does work and that it does improve well-being, that it is safe and has no side-effects. At Mind Motivations we make no claims that cannot be substantiated. Take that first step today in taking your life back.

The 21st century is a technological age where we have instant access to everything. We have never had such a high standard of living before with good nutrition, skilled medical care and world travel.

The price we pay is stress at incredible levels with pressure to perform at work, at home, in relationships and all sporting activities. Technology has incredible advantages, but in general humans are paying a price that is simply too steep.

We don’t have time to relax; we are always on the run and sooner or later our body rebels. We have stress-related diseases, eating disorders, addictions and failed relationships. This all leads to our self esteem hitting the bottom of the pond. This sounds rather dreadful and depressing yet there is absolutely no reason for our lives to turn into such a shambles.

Take a helping hand

Hypnotherapy is the alternative treatment that takes a holistic approach. It doesn’t simply treat the symptoms of the problem or ailment as so many pharmaceutical drugs do. Hypnotherapy goes to the root of the problem; it opens up the subconscious mind to where the problems started. It does not matter whether you have an eating disorder, or have developed phobias.

Hypnosis works whether you need to get your self confidence back or learning how to handle chronic pain. It is time to take a step back from our technological world and start caring for our precious bodies and minds.

The answers to what ails you or the habits and behavioural patterns you need to change lie within your own mind. Hypnotherapy is the helping hand that we reach out to you. Allow yourself to live life to the fullest and be the best you can possibly be with the help of hypnotherapy.

There are very few people in this world who live perfect lives and go on without a hitch or a mishap. In general, we all suffer from some pain or trauma that adds to our emotional baggage. It makes that baggage immensely heavy and it becomes difficult to carry with us on a daily basis.

Eventually that baggage prevents us from leading normal, healthy lives and it has far-reaching affects on our future. However, you can stop this right here and now and overcome your pain and trauma. You can regain your life and live happily, all you need is the professional hypnotherapy we can provide you with.

Alternative treatments

Now, the conventional route to walk with emotional baggage is to see a psychologist, perhaps take medication. Some people even medicate themselves illegally, just to numb the pain. You can stop that cycle; you can try an alternative form of pain and trauma treatment. Try hypnotherapy, the hypnosis sessions are private and confidential and you run no risk of losing a single thing from trying it.

Hypnotherapy has helped many people unlock repressed memories and get to the bottom of why they feel the way they do. You can find out what the root of the problem is and then treat it from there.

It does not help to treat the symptoms of depression, anxiety or trauma and not deal with the cause. Hypnotherapy can help you discover and treat the cause as well as the symptoms, isn’t it about time you gave it a try and got your healthy, happy life back?

When it comes to sporting performance, people often think that they need artificial performance enhancers in order to make them perform better than they already are. However, sometimes the solution lies deeper within yourself than simply making your physical body perform better.

Often, you can improve your performance through the use of the power of your mind. Your mind is far more powerful than you and many other people give it credit for.

When you employ the power of your conscious and subconscious mind as well as your body, you present the world with an unstoppable team. Don’t believe that? Well, we provide you with hypnosis CDs that will help you improve your sporting performance and here’s how it works.

Creating a better sportsman

When you have trained, sweated blood and cried many tears to get to your peak sporting performance level, you feel that you have reached the end. You may feel that you have done everything humanly possible to up your performance. You may even think that the only next step is steroids and other artificial and often illegal performance enhancers.

This, however, is not true. You can use hypnosis to help you improve your performance just that bit more. How? Well, hypnosis unlocks the power of your subconscious mind and reconnects your mind-body connection.

Hypnosis will help you relax when playing a sport. When you are relaxed and confident in your own ability, you will be able to concentrate better on the game at hand. Hypnosis will also help you rest better, worry less and stay focused on the task you are faced with. All of this offers you an extra competitive edge over your competitors.

Enormous amounts of money are spent each year on pharmaceutical drugs by people that desperately need to sleep. Doctors prescribe various forms of this medication although they are aware of the far-reaching, intense side affects medication for insomnia has. Most prescription sleeping medication can be habit forming, thus not only do people take these pills continuously, but after a time they cannot simply stop taking them.

Now the person not only has problems sleeping, but they also feel dependant on sleeping drugs. The unfortunate fact is there have been many accidental overdoses on sleeping medication over the years.

The fact is that doctors are still happily prescribing these dangerous pills to people who suffer from chronic insomnia. There really is no need to expose yourself to the dangers of sleeping pills because you are desperate for a solid night’s sleep.

Safe alternative

Hypnosis is the drug-free alternative to help everyone with insomnia. We offer you the option of hypnotherapy sessions or the self-help option of using hypnosis CDs and MP3s. Hypnosis is ideal for insomnia as we help you uncover the power within your subconscious mind. We use that power to identify the reasons why you cannot sleep.

With one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions we help you realise that you have the power to sleep. No matter what the stresses or strains of daily life bring, you can sleep. Isn’t it time you discover there is more to the eternal groggy feeling every morning after you took sleeping pills the night before? Conquer insomnia once and for all with hypnosis.

It may sound like a strange statement to make, but it is true. Your subconscious mind protects you and by doing so it can settle you into harmful behavioural patterns. To understand this you need to understand how your subconscious mind works.

The job of your subconscious mind is to protect you, no matter what, even if it has to lie to you. What it does is protect you by clamping down on emotions that can be overwhelming.

So what do you have to do to force your subconscious mind to protect you from living with negative behavioural patterns and doing things that actually harm you?

Force change

Hypnosis is the answer; through hypnosis you give your subconscious mind permission to let your conscious mind override it and make changes. Without hypnosis, your very powerful subconscious mind will not let the conscious make decisions to change destructive behaviour. The subconscious mind will fight to “protect” you at all costs. You can do this in two ways.

You can either come to us for one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions or if possible make use of our self-help option through hypnosis MP3s and CDs. Hypnosis unlocks your unconscious mind, accessing the emotions attached to the addiction or destructive behaviour.

The conscious mind can then make the change. You no longer have to be afraid of risking exposure to success or getting rid of those cigarettes you used as a comfort blanket during times of stress.

With hypnosis, we do not change the events that have lead to your unwanted behaviour. What we do is to change how you feel about what happened and teach you to let your conscious mind make the decisions.

Many people are wary to even try hypnosis or go into hypnotherapy for problems because they do not have enough knowledge about the subject. When a person does not know the facts, they assume many things.

One of the misconceptions is that you will lose control and that you will become privy to every suggestion the hypnotherapist gives them. Hypnosis does not turn people into robots. Unfortunately, too many people think of the fun and silliness of stage acts with hypnosis. You are in control; your own subconscious and conscious mind will make the decision for you and no one else.

Hyper-alert and receptive

What we try to make clients understand is that you are not asleep during a hypnotherapy session. In reality, your conscious and subconscious mind goes into hyper-alert mode while your body is completely relaxed. When you come to a hypnotherapy session you are not weak minded. Indeed your mind is strong enough to want to make changes.

As Hypnotherapists, we need your mind to be wide awake and open. This is so that we can work with you to help you change that destructive behaviour that is causing you such problems. Indeed, the reverse is true: you need to have a strong mind.

Taking that first crucial step into hypnosis is not for the hesitant, these people want to make positive changes. Your hypnosis therapist will guide you each step of the way until you achieve your goal. You will be able to be free of an addiction, to regain confidence, rid yourself of pain or a phobia. It is all possible within your own mind and hypnosis is the key.
