Most of us have a keen interest in staying healthy, but for many people this does not translate into much more than a general effort to ‘eat well’ and get some occasional exercise. While our physical health is obviously of critical importance, of equal (or perhaps greater) importance is our mental health – our ‘state of mind’ – and yet this is something which doesn’t often receive much attention. At least not until there is a serious problem, ...

Why do we do what we do? Why do we think what we think? And feel what we feel?
More importantly, how can we change these patterns if they’re not serving us?
There is a growing field of research and literature that is shedding light on these very important questions, and it ties in directly to the power of hypnosis.
This is the realm of epigenetics (‘external to/above genetics’) and neuroplasticity.
While these fancy ...
Continue Reading ShareUsing Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy to Discover the Source of your Depression
One of the most common challenges many people are dealing with these days is depression. Sometimes my clients will label this something different – perhaps anxiety, stress, or sadness. And as far as I’m concerned, and as far as hypnotherapy goes, the label is not overly important.
What is of concern, however, ...

For must of us, as we grow up we are taught to be kind and respectful of others. We learn to share, to be selfless instead of selfish, and to be considerate of those around us.
This is all good advice, for very self-evident reasons. We thrive when we contribute beyond ourselves, and when we cooperate with others. We are happier, more productive, more successful and more inspired when we feel as ...

It’s not too late to stay on track.
Even if you don’t even have any new goals, knowing in your heart of hearts that you would not keep them anyway, and wanting to avoid failing yet-again.
What a load of nonsense and you know it.
But is it not too late. You can do it now, today, and create your target, stay on course and hit your target. You can crush self-sabotage and here is ...

We all want to be happy.
And to be happy we need to grow. Otherwise we stagnate and die.
In order to grow we need to constantly learn, create and contribute in some fashion.
And for this to happen we need to be motivated.
Motivation comes from two potential sources – either inspiration or desperation.
Desperation
When we are desperate, we are capable of taking tremendous action. ...

You can probably relate to the experience of coming home from a vacation and, when asked by friends and family members ‘How was your trip?’, finding yourself repeating the same details over and over and over again. In essence, you condense the event into a tidy little story.

What makes you happy?
You might think that’s a relatively easy question to answer. “A long-weekend, a DVD Box set of HBO’s latest smutfest, a 4 liter tub of Rocky Mudpie Brownie Cluster Chunky Chocolate Fudge Slide, and someone to share it all with!”
Actually, that sounds like a pretty good answer…
However, while that might keep you happy for a short while, in the longer term we need something else… something a bit more general.
And that is progress.
We need to be growing ...

“All wealth begins and ends in the mind. If you do not have enough money in your life there is one – and only one – primary reason: you have not conditioned yourself for wealth.” – Tony Robbins
Okay, great. So how does one get ...
