You can overcome the fear of heights through hypnosis, when you learn to draw out the more realistic and rational emotions and replace your fears with these thoughts. A fear of heights is a sort of innate feeling that protects us from jumping off buildings or doing something where we might get hurt. When that self preservation turns into a crippling fear that we will fall, even in a safe environment such as inside a building, then it becomes what is known as acrophobia. Hypnosis is used at bedtime when you are able to completely relax. This is important in overcoming the fear of heights, because when there is fear, there is agitation and anxiety. By putting yourself in a comfortable, safe situation, you are able to become relaxed and let the hypnosis work at removing the deep seeded fears from your sub-conscious mind. It takes just a few weeks of hynotheraphy to undo even a lifetime of a fear of heights. Most people with a fear of heights can remember feeling this even a child. They may have not wanted to climb trees with the other kids or may have felt uncomfortable or anxious knowing they were going to have to go to the top of the bleachers during a game. Other people develop a fear of heights later in life. It could be the result of a traumatic experience or simply a natural progression of maturing and wanting to feel safer. Whenever the fear started and how ever deep it is, hypnosis can replace that fear with confidence. The program, Overcome Fear of Heights, led by Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones, helps to turn a fear of heights into a love for life, even if that life takes you to the top of mountains or over bridges.  Click the link to OVERCOME YOUR FEAR OF HEIGHTS health Tue, 26 Feb 2008 08:57:00 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/insomnia-hypnosis-treatment  ===Insomnia Treatment with Self Help Hypnosis=== There are 3 types of insomnia: Short Term (Transient) Short term insomnia lasts anywhere form a single night to a few weeks. Intermittent Classified as short term and occurs from time to time. Chronic Persistent insomnia which occurs 3 nights a week or more. Chronic insomnia can either be primary or secondary. With primary insomnia it is not related to any other health problems or external factors. Secondary insomnia can be a result of a medical condition, stress or other mental health problems, or a generally poor sleep environment. Insomnia cannot be defined as the number of hours a person sleeps or how long it takes to fall asleep. Individuals have different needs as to the amount of sleep that they require. There is no fast and hard rule as to how much sleep a person needs. On average most people require between seven and nine hours of sleep each night in order for them feel alert and refreshed the next day. However, there are some individuals who can function perfectly fine with only four or five hours per night, while others need ten hours per night. What seems to be important is for one to have a consistent sleeping pattern as opposed to the number of hours of sleep. Signs and symptoms of insomnia may include: * Inability to get enough sleep at night * Waking up during the night * Waking up too early and are unable to fall back to sleep * Waking up feeling tired, even after a full night's sleep * Tired during the day * Frequent headaches and daytime irritability Short term insomnia is experienced by more than one third of American adults, and chronic insomnia is known to effect more than one in ten. According to the U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, approximately 60 million Americans suffer from insomnia each year. Many people know, or assume, they have insomnia simply because they cannot get to sleep at night, or spend the night tossing and turning in bed. But many people have insomnia and don’t realize it. If you are experiencing any of the above symptoms, you may be suffering from insomnia.  Insomnia Treatment with Self Help Hypnosis health Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:18:13 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/improve-golf-game  ============== PLAY BETTER GOLF ============ Your golf game is part skill and part psyche and that is just one reason why hypnosis is so effective in helping you improve your game. If you are not up to par in other areas of your life, your game is impacted too. Hypnosis helps you relax and come to grips with other problems so you can have more focus for your game. Hypnosis is a game strategy that works. When you utilize hypnotic methods you are able to sort and organize thoughts, reduce stress, and overcome self defeating habits. Hypnosis is performed in a setting where total relaxation is possible in order to get the best results from each session. This is usually just before going to sleep at bedtime. Much of the way hypnosis works to improve your golf game, or any other area that needs improvement, is to create a vision of yourself acting in a way the brings about change. For example, with golf, hypnosis helps you envision yourself with perfect form, precisely directed swings and the end goal in site – that miraculous hole-in-one. Although hypnosis cannot change your skill level without you putting the effort into the physical part of practicing, it can change your mindset about your abilities and give you greater confidence. Often a lack of confidence is the only obstacle to achieving success. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones, has created the Winning Golf self-hypnosis program to accomplish the removal of all obstacles to a winning golf game. After listening for just a few short weeks to the hypnosis program, you can removes stresses and anxiety, envision yourself in a winning position, and increase confidence in your own innate abilities.

In fact, the mind has such a powerful impact over physical well being that people have been known to “will” themselves into better health or even to death. Hypnosis works to keep the body healthy by boosting the immune system through positive thought processes that reduce stress and ignite the body’s own healing abilities. Emotional stress has such a destructive impact on health. When stress is left unchecked, it causes the body to have a continual release of the hormone cortisol which can negatively impact such things as blood pressure and cholesterol. This can ultimately lead to heart disease. Hypnosis works to relax the mind and body to reduce stress and cortisol production. In addition, hypnosis can boost the immune system by acting as a catalyst to wound healing and vitamin absorption as it eliminates stress. A study of 33 medical students was conducted by the Ohio State University and reports that self-hypnosis was able to reduce stress and lead to strengthened immune systems in the sub-group given the hypnotic relaxation training. These students experienced less anxiety during exam time. In addition, blood tests indicated greater immune responses as T-cells in their blood were studied both before stressful periods and during them. Hypnosis is used at a time of day when the participant is able to completely relax, usually just before going to sleep. Self-hypnosis will not be effective if there are other distractions such as driving a car or doing tasks around the house. The mind needs to relax to the point where the hypnotic messages can completely penetrate the subconscious. This way the stress that can hinder the immune system can be removed and the body can become strengthened. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones’ program Immune System Booster is used over the course of a few weeks to reduce stress and improve immune system function.  Boost Immune Systems health Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:11:33 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/body-building-secret  ====== BODY BUILDING SECRET====== Hypnosis has a real and powerful impact on the body, not only on health, but also on physical attributes.

We’ve all seen the stories on Dateline and heard the accounts on 20/20 but few of us have ever experienced them. And while many of us are skeptical that the accounts are legit, most of us want to believe they’re real. After all, how cool would it be to see yourself...outside your body? In every day parlance, these experiences are called out-of-body experiences. In more technical terms, however, they’re called astral projections: Experiences where your conscious self actually leaves your body and operates on its own. In effect, it’s where your spiritual self leaves the physical self. These experiences may seem like they’re rare, but believe it or not, you’ve already experienced them…you just don’t remember them. And you shouldn’t remember them because you’re not trained to remember them. By reading my series of articles on astral projection, that’s about to change. But before we get to that, you might be interested to know that personal accounts of astral projection have been around for centuries. You name the culture, there is documentary evidence that shows awareness of astral projections and what they were. Egyptian priests called the astral body the Ka. Tibetans called the astral body the Bardo. And Greek philosophers—from the likes of Plato, Herodotus and Clazomene?—refer to astral projections in their writings. People skeptical of astral projections like to emphasize how there’s no scientific evidence to back up these very personal accounts, but the fact that one of civilization’s most prominent philosophers has written about them gives them credulity. Or at least they ought to. Another misconception you might have about astral projections—or out-of-body experiences—is that their entirely random. Well, yes and no. There are actually two kinds of astral projections: spontaneous (i.e. the random ones) and controlled. As you might imagine, the spontaneous ones never happen during one particular scenario, but they’re usually when you’re at least trying to relax. The other kinds are called controlled. Once again, as the adjective indicates, controlled are the ones where you can actually put yourself in an out-of-body experience whenever and wherever you want. How long it takes to learn how to do this varies from person to person. For some it will take weeks, for others it will take years. Much of it will depend on how much you practice and how much time you’re willing to put into it to grasp the concept. This book is here to guide you along and help you every step of the way. Finally, you may have heard in the course of your lifetime that the human brain uses a bare percentage of what it’s actually capable of. The same is true for your life, or existence. Metaphysicians believe that there are seven “planes” of existence, and most of us operate on the first plane, the physical plane, where everything we know and understand is physical. What we can physically see and touch is what’s real to us. The second plane is the astral plane—where what we truly desire and/or want for our lives can become reality. Now, the fact that the astral plane is the second of seven planes of existence out to speak volumes…if you thought that the astral plane was the height of existence. It is but the beginning. Reaching the seventh plane is said to be beyond explanation. That, in and of itself, is explanation enough on how glorious life can truly become. Mastering Astral Projection   people Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:19:50 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/self-help-hypnosis  ========== SELF HELP HYPNOSIS =========== So many times in life I have found myself in the situation that I call "the woods." This is the in-between point, which happens when you have left one level (or village, for this analogy), but have not quite reached the next level (village) beyond it. As a motivated person, you know what happens in "the woods." You are all alone. As far as you can tell, you are neither ahead of the others nor behind them. You are just alone. In the woods, you have few, if any, friends, a feeling of doubt, and a longing for some meaning and belonging. And what is the temptation at that point? To go back to the last village! Oh, and do they ever miss you there! The people in the village you just left say things such as: "It just hasn't been the same around here without you!" And "When are you coming back?" And "Oh, I tried to go to that next village once, but it didn't quite work out. I wouldn't do that if I were you...it's too risky." So, you naturally have the temptation to go back to that old village, not just to visit, but also to stay. Sure, those villagers seem almost simple-minded to you, but they also seem happy. They are warm, they have plenty of food, and their lives are predictable. What more could you possibly need? What we can fail to realize in the woods is that just a few more steps further would have revealed the next village. That's the place where everyone thinks like you. That's where they believe in your "new radical ideas", because they have applied them in their own lives and found that they work! That's where the people are just as happy as the people in the last village, but on a higher plane. The new village is where you belong, for now. But guess what...you got it...there is ANOTHER village after that one, then another, then another and it never ends. So, how do we deal with that? You may ask. I mean, if it never ends, why begin? Why bother? Why leave any village ever? I'll tell you why...because the natural tendency in nature is to move forward. Trees don't just stop growing at a certain point and say, "I'm done." They keep expanding both above and below the ground. It is your DESTINY to grow, to move forward, and to reach your full potential. Anything less will not lead to a fulfilling life. So, HOW can this be done? It's easy...rest when you're weary, drink when you're thirsty, eat when you're hungry, but keep your sights set straight ahead. When you're not moving, you should be PLANNING your next move. I know you will travel through many villages in your lifetime. I know you will keep moving forward toward your true potential. And I know that you will find your happiness in the process. Remember, life is all about the journey. The map is inside you already. It's called your intuition, your drive, and your dream. Follow it. You're going to be pleasantly surprised at where it will take you. I hope we meet along the way! I want you to be successful. Take your life to the next level!   Self help hypnosis   business Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:15:44 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/self-hypnosis-technique  ======= SELF HELP HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUE ======= Believing in one’s own abilities is at the root of confidence. It is not a matter of willingness or capability, but a surety that you can do anything and make significant changes in your life. Hypnosis works to increase confidence by relaxing the mind and helping the individual recognized their worth and ability. Hypnosis is a relaxing and cleansing process both at the same time. That is why it should be practiced in a quiet, calm environment, and when the participant is not required to perform other tasks. With self hypnosis therapies the participant should undergo treatment while drifting off to sleep, when both the body and mind are preparing to go into a relaxed state. It should never be done while driving or at work, when there are stimuli and activities that require an alert mind.   Self hypnosis technique health Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:14:55 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/weight-loss-self-hypnosis  ====== WEIGHT LOSS SELF HYPNOSIS ====== Hypnosis will provide you with a release from the prison of obesity.

Hypnosis could be the key for you to remove the barriers preventing you from becoming wealthy and having financial freedom. Most people day dream of winning the lottery or discovering that a long lost relative has left them an inheritance that could change their lives by removing all of their financial stresses. It is understandable that people would fantasize when you consider the following about how Americans spend and save: Between 2001 and 2003 consumers accumulated $1.1 trillion in new mortgages and consumer debt. The average American household receives at least 50 solicitations for credit each year, making access to credit easier than ever, even for high risk groups. Between 2000 and 2003 the number of non-business bankruptcies increased by 30%. Americans save an average of 1% of their income, while debt is at 100% over disposable income. Hypnosis has been found to turn individuals away from the trends that so many people have just accepted as a part of every day life. However, along with the “buy now pay later” attitude comes the stress of making ends meet when even the smallest financial upset comes into play – never mind a job loss or illness. Hypnosis opens the door to unlimited wealth by helping the participant relax, focus and become more motivated to go after the opportunities that bring about real wealth which is that balance between spending and saving. Hypnosis works by cultivating information and traits already present in the individual so that they can achieve their full potential. It is a method of clearing the clutter from thoughts and actions that can be crippling to ones efforts to better manage their finances or make job related decisions with confidence.

It is not uncommon for people who have never been around dogs to be fearful of them. Dogs have been known to attack people, especially certain breeds. But the reality is that most dogs are not likely to hurt anyone. Hypnosis can create within the mind a new reality from your present thoughts about what dogs can and will do. You’ve probably heard the expression, “His bark is worse than his bite.” This refers to the fact that most dogs will bark, and even sound vicious but that they will not actually bite. The barking is simply the dog’s way of communicating. Clinical Hypnotherapist, Steve G. Jones, leads you through the process in his CD, Overcome Fear of Dogs. animals Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:03:42 -0600 http://www.squidoo.com/secrets-to-better-bowling === BETTER BOWLING WITH HYPNOSIS ==== Have no time to “spare” working on your bowling score? Hypnosis is the answer to improving your bowling game and you can do it in a way that won’t take up any time during your busy day. Hypnosis is done just as you drift off to sleep. So instead of reading or watching television, you can be listening to a self-hypnosis program that will make good use of the brief time between awake and asleep. In bowling there is a combination of using the right ball, developing your form, and staying focused. Hypnosis can help with at least the last two parts. Because hypnosis helps you envision yourself in a winning situation, you will be able to recreate that perfect form each frame you bowl. Hypnosis is best if it takes place right before going to sleep. This is a time when most people can generally relax and be uninterrupted. The program will begin by bringing you to a completely relaxed state that is deepened to the point where there is at least some blocking of external stimuli and you can be completely focused on the voice of the hypnotherapist. Once you have entered a deep state of relaxation, the hypnosis process goes to the script stage. It is here that desired behaviors and outcomes are introduced and reinforced. Messages affirming such truths as “you will have confidence, perfect form, concentration, etc,” are all parts of the script that may be spoken in order to bring about changes in your actions once you are brought out of the hypnotic state. Steve G. Jones is a clinical hypnotherapist who has developed a program called “Wining Bowling.” Here, a script is devised specifically for improving bowling skills and confidence. It will lead the listener to develop their own winning strategy and carry it out. Secrets to Better Bowling  sports Mon, 28 Jan 2008 12:12:52 -0600
