Does Childhood Stress Stay with You for Your Whole Life?

Does Childhood Stress Stay with You for Your Whole Life?
By Jessica Ashley, Senior Editor, Parenting | Parenting – Wed, Jan 4, 2012 11:50 AM EST

No matter how big the toothless smiles, how many toys are packed into the playroom, how perfect the family holiday photo seems, many children experience some kind of stress while they are growing up that one researcher says could stay with them into adulthood.

"If a child has a pervasive sense of adversity in his or her childhood for whatever reason, the brain responds to that kind of hardship by becoming more sensitized to stress," Dr. Rajita Sinha, director of the Yale Stress Center, recently explained to CNN.

The brain becomes hard-wired to react more strongly, she says, making that person more likely to have a greater reaction to stress than people who do not have a similar history.

What childhood stress is so big that is burrows into the brains for decades? Research points to pain, illness, and injury as major stressors for kids. But a child's stress level can increase to "severe" during family conflicts such as divorce, abuse, witnessing violence, financial crisis, the death of a loved one, or a parent who suffers from addiction or mental health problems.

While anxiety is a normal reaction to stress and can even be OK for children to navigate, according to the National Institute of Mental Health, some people experience excessive levels of anxiety. One in eight children are affected by an anxiety disorder, according to the Anxiety Disorders Association of America, including those who are deemed to have post-traumatic stress disorder.

While humans are "adaptive animals," Sinha says many children are experiencing stress before their ability to deal with it is completely developed. The adversity in their young lives therefore leads to a higher overall stress level into adulthood.

"The stress pathway is developing during childhood. The stress system needs time to grow and become fully functional," Sinha says.

Small children under stress are sources of concern, according to her studies. But she also sees adolescents, who are more likely to self-isolate, as particularly vulnerable. Teenagers' stress symptoms may range from sleep difficulty to overeating to school truancy to taking pain medication unnecessarily.

While parents may not be able to completely shield children from stressors -- a kid's home life might be magical but they may encounter a bully in Sunday school or suddenly lose a grandparent to cancer -- Sinha says parents, teachers, and caregivers can help build resistance and optimism when kids experience stress.

"Things happen. Families will face adversities. But if parents, teachers, and other adults are helping to guide children by talking about the trauma and providing them with adaptive skills, then those children will be more inclined toward protection and resilience, as opposed to risk."

How can we help protect our kids from becoming over-stressed adults?

1. Seek social support. Sinha says that interacting with others and garnering family support is a primary way we can protect kids from the risks of stress.

2. Embrace education and intellectual challenges. Children are more likely to learn to navigate tough stuff if they are challenged in a safe environment like school, she reports. Teachers that encourage students to think abstractly, for example, are helping their brain develop in ways that will serve stressed children in the moment and, perhaps, in the long term.

3. Develop optimism and tactics to control emotions. Parents and other adults who are active in a child's life may be able to help protect kids from carrying stress forward in such significant ways. A University of Wisconsin-Madison study revealed that a mother's voice, whether during a conversation or phone call or whisper during a hug, can produce significant biochemical responses that soothe stressed children. Another study of 405 inner-city children showed that yoga instruction boosted the kids' self-esteem and grades and decreased behavioral problems associated with the stress of poverty in South Central Los Angeles. Getting enough sleep consistently has also been shown to help children deal with stress more effectively. Some even say a little playful, safe roughhousing can do kids (and parents) a world of good.

Hypnotherapy Over the Phone

2011-01-22T14:36:00.000-08:00

Shy, timid and bashful personalities, being more at ease in familiar surroundings, typically favor this type of consultation in a private setting. It is often used for reducing stress, improving relaxation, raising self esteem, overcoming self doubt and building self confidence. Energy clearing can also be accomplished using Remote Hypnotherapy. For other concerns, I recommend online sessions using a service like Skype. My preference is in office visits, however that is not always readily available in long distance situations.

How well does Hypnotherapy work over a phone line?

Comfortably and with ease from any secure and relaxing environment, Hypnotherapy over the phone works very well because Hypnosis can be readily induced and easily sustained with auditory stimuli. Since keeping the eyes closed during the work is a major part of the hypnotic process, only listening is required. So, you can experience the benefits of Hypnotism from a distance as long as you can comfortably close your eyes and focus your attention on helpful suggestions.

What kind of phone set up should I use?  

This is really a matter of personal preference. A traditional landline will offer the best connection, however a cordless or cell phone can work just as well. The convenience of using a speakerphone, a blue-tooth, or a headset, may be preferred to a hand held phone. It is really up to you to decide. Any reliable system is acceptable.

Are office sessions needed for Hypnotherapy?

In office visits are not a prerequisite for deriving great benefits from Hypnotherapy. Whatever is most convenient and practical with regards to your current situation works best. Hypnotherapy achieves amazing results no matter whether in person or over the phone.

Who initiates the call?  

Prospective and ongoing clients phone the office at their scheduled time. Using phone lines with discounted or unlimited long distance calling plans are recommended.

How long will each phone call take?    

Each session is approximately 45 to 90 minutes depending on the nature of the concern.

Is anything else needed for Hypnotherapy over a phone line?

Besides a phone in a relatively quiet setting, you will need a cozy chair, a recliner or a comfortable place to relax during the phone call.

Name some advantages of having Hypnotherapy over the phone?  

Clients are known to experience more focused concentration and deeper trance states when they are comfortable with their surroundings. Travel costs are completely eliminated. It is a very convenient way to access the best available Hypnotherapists in the world.

How much does it cost for Hypnotherapy Coaching over the phone?    

This service is the same as any in office visit. Contact Regal Hypnosis for current office rates.

Are there any other suggestions before getting started?    

Be prepared. Empty your bladder before the session work begins. Wear comfortable clothes. Uncross your arms and legs before going into trance to further enhance your experience with Hypnosis. Make it your intention to follow instructions. Realize that although changes can happen quickly, you will typically need several sessions to obtain lasting results.

Is Drug Testing Inadequate?

2010-05-22T16:06:00.000-07:00

Conventional drugs used today are so new that there is very little long-term research on them. There are good reasons why a vast majority of modern drugs used just a couple of decades ago are no longer prescribed: they don't work as well as previously assumed, and/or they cause more harm than good.

Sadly and strangely, many physicians do not see that there is something fundamentally wrong with the present medical model. Once a drug is found to be ineffective or dangerous, doctors and drug companies simply find another drug that, at least initially, seems to have good short-term results, that is, until longer term studies establish that it doesn't work as well as assumed and/or is more dangerous.

10 overused tests and treatments

2010-04-14T07:41:00.000-07:00

1 BACK SURGERY. Don't rush to surgery for a simple slipped disk. In 90 percent of cases, the pain goes away on its own within six weeks. In stubborn cases, surgery, which can cost $20,000 plus physician's fees, can relieve pain somewhat faster than physical therapy and medication, a recent study showed. But it also found that both groups of patients wound up with similar improvements after two years.

2 HEARTBURN SURGERY. Doctors surgically tighten a sphincter muscle that blocks stomach acid from backing up into the esophagus. But research shows the operation, which costs $14,600 or more, provides no better long-term relief than taking a proton-pump-inhibitor drug such as omeprazole (Prilosec OTC), which costs less than $1 a day.

3 PROSTATE TREATMENTS. Prostate cancer is often overtreated by surgery that costs $17,000, or by radiation therapy for $20,700 or more, plus physician's fees, without adequate discussion of the alternatives or the high risk of distressing side effects such as incontinence or impotence. Because prostate cancer can grow slowly, sometimes the best approach is "watchful waiting."

4 IMPLANTED DEFIBRILLATORS. These devices, which automatically shock the heart back to normal rhythm, cost some $90,000 over a lifetime. Yet one-third of people who get them might not really need them, according to research reported in 2007. This year Medicare will pay for an estimated 50,000 of the devices.

5 CORONARY STENTS. Billions are spent each year inserting tiny mesh tubes to prop open coronary arteries. The procedure plus heart drugs turns out not to work any better to prevent future heart attacks than heart drugs alone for patients with stable coronary artery disease, researchers reported in 2007.

6 CESAREAN SECTIONS. They cost almost $7,000, about 55 percent more than a natural delivery, and constituted a record high of 30.2 percent of births in 2005. Most are performed because labor is progressing too slowly. But several less-invasive approaches might be enough to speed up labor.

7 WHOLE-BODY SCREENS. These CT scans, which can cost $1,000 or more, are promoted for spotting early signs of cancer, heart disease, and other abnormalities. There are no proven benefits for healthy people, the Food and Drug Administration has concluded. Plus CT scans expose patients to far more radiation than X-rays. A few CT scans a year can increase your lifetime risk of cancer.

8 HIGH-TECH ANGIOGRAPHY. Using a CT scan to noninvasively check coronary arteries for narrowing costs an average of $450, according to data from HealthMarkets, which sells health and life insurance through subsidiaries in 44 states. But standard angiography is sometimes still needed to confirm blockages that might require aggressive treatment.

9 HIGH-TECH MAMMOGRAPHY. Using software to flag suspicious breast X-rays would add $550 million a year to national costs if used for all mammograms. But a 2007 study found that this technique failed to improve the cancer-detection rate significantly, yet resulted in more needless biopsies.

10 VIRTUAL COLONOSCOPY. These CT scans are being used to detect signs of cancer without inserting a tube into the colon. But a study of virtual colonoscopy reported in 2007 concluded that standard colonoscopy is better at spotting smaller suspicious polyps. Though less costly than a standard colonoscopy, the virtual test isn't cost-effective because any suspicious finding requires retesting with the real thing.

Three Mistakes To Avoid At All Cost

2010-04-13T09:37:00.000-07:00

With the colder weather comes the natural tendency to eat greater quantities of food as well as more fatty foods. This is really something that nature intended because in the warmer weather, when fruits and vegetables are abundant, our bodies are designed to consume these foods more than meats, butter and other more fattening types of calories. But in the winter the reverse is true with more people eating the higher caloric foods that are higher in fat content.

This is actually a good idea because fruits and vegetables are more cooling, water energy foods. Meat, including organ meats, flesh, butters and other higher calorie foods are more warming, fire energy foods. So nature designed this into our physiology so we can naturally keep our energies in balance during each season.

With the speed of modern transportation this natural balance has been upset which allows us to consume either high calorie, warming fatty foods or lower calorie cooling foods all year long. So if during the warmer months when our bodies are not working as hard to keep us warm, we are eating the higher calorie foods (meats, butters), etc. then we are packing on more calories while our bodies are not burning as many of those calories off as would normally occur in the cold weather. While it's true that we are less active in the winter, studies have shown that we actually can burn more calories just by keeping warm than previously thought. Studies also show that air conditioning in the summer may also be playing a role in the modern increase in obesity. If we eat too many warming foods during the warm months, then we are causing our bodies to generate too much fire energy when it needs to be cool. Abusing this principle is one reason why so many diseases occur in our civilized world.

Even though there is so much information available about weight loss, the same diet mistakes are being made over and over every day. We are not talking here about little slipups where you ate a slice of pie that was not on the plan, but big mistakes that lead to failure to lose the weight that you want to lose. Understanding these errors can help you develop the attitude that will lead to permanent weight loss for you.

1. The All Or Nothing Attitude
All or nothing dieters will often pick out a complicated diet that is almost impossible for them to maintain. Before beginning, they will search the kitchen for anything that does not fit the plan and throw it in the garbage. They are planning to be the perfect dieter, and so they will be, for one day, three days, seven days or even a couple of weeks. Then, inevitably, something happens that means they cannot keep to the diet one time. Immediately the whole thing is ruined in their eyes and the diet is over. They go to the store and buy all the things that went into the garbage last week and proceed to gain back all the weight that they lost, as fast as possible.

If you are this kind of dieter you need to ask yourself some tough questions. Do you really want to lose weight permanently, or just lose a few pounds so that you can enjoy putting them back on again? The way forward is to make small changes to what you eat so that you have a slow but steady weight loss.

2. The Attitude of Sacrifice
Another common mistake is to view your diet as a period of sacrifice. You do not allow yourself the foods that you enjoy most while you are on your way to your target weight. You may have a great diet plan and be very successful in losing weight, but what happens when you reach your goal? You have not learned to eat 'bad foods' in moderation so as soon as you start, you are likely to go out of control. It is better to include a little of everything in your diet and learn to enjoy it in small quantities. Yes, even chocolate!

By allowing yourself to have your "cheat days" you help to keep yourself from mentally craving or lusting after those foods that you grew up on, this helps prevent binging. I often have some ice cream, some chocolate here and there myself. But I have very small portions when doing so, just a bite or two here and there and that's all. This way I don't feel deprived and don't have that temptation to go nuts after a period of weeks or months and totally overeat and ruin all the progress that I've made.

One thing I did to help facilitate this is that I went to a local store and picked up some very small bowls. These bowls are about the size of a small tea cup saucer and only hold about 8oz of liquid. By keeping portion sizes small but having a variety of food, the mind is tricked into thinking that you're eating a lot of food. You might have 5 or 6 small bowls out on the table, but since each one is small you're not really eating that much food. By reversing the American standard you will find that it is far better to have a mostly vegetable based diet with meat as a side dish.

3. Goal Failure
Setting achievable goals is vital in any weight loss plan. Goals should be clear, realistic and set out in writing. While you probably do have an ideal weight in your mind, unless you are only very slightly overweight it is probably too distant to be useful. A more useful goal would be to lose two pounds per week for the first five weeks and then one pound per week after that. Some weeks you will lose more and some less, some weeks you may even gain, but if you track your progress on a graph you will see that ups and downs are natural and do not stop you progressing steadily toward your major goal.

If you have been making these mistakes, do not worry. The most important point in dieting as in so many other things is to move on. Learn from your failures as well as your success and do not use a mistake as an excuse for giving up. The only way to achieve your goal permanently is to make a commitment to become a healthier person. Remember that eating normally includes eating more some days and less others. Learn to enjoy food in moderation and you have every chance of avoiding these bad diet mistakes.

Taking pictures when you start your weight loss and exercise plan is also another great way to see results. Since weight loss occurs in very small increments you won't really notice results. But if you take before and after pictures every four weeks or so then you will really see how far you've come and this is a great way to stay motivated. While you may not have any desire to take pictures of yourself at the start, I strongly encourage you to do so as it's a great way to help you stay motivated and encouraged in your new lifestyle.

Hypnosis Measurably Changes How the Brain Works

2010-04-07T08:15:00.000-07:00

Psychologist, John Gruzelier, at Imperial College in London says higher-level brain functions are deeply influenced because hypnosis significantly affects brain activity that is responsible for detecting and responding to errors.

Using functional magnetic resonance imaging (fMRI), Gruzelier and his team studied the brain activity of subjects as they completed Stroop tasks (standard cognitive exercises). Before hypnosis, no significant differences in brain activity between the participants of both groups were indicated. Under hypnosis, however, Gruzelier found that highly susceptible subjects showed significantly more brain activity in the anterior cingulate gyrus (area of brain that responds to errors and evaluates emotional outcomes) than weakly susceptible subjects. The highly susceptible group also showed much greater brain activity on the left side of the prefrontal cortex (area of brain associated with higher level cognitive processing and behavior) than the weakly susceptible group.

Gruzelier concluded that, under hypnosis, these brain areas must work harder to achieve the same cognitive task results. Thus “confirming our model of hypnosis with very direct evidence of brain function.” And Peter Naish, at the UK's Open University, added, "We have a technique that has now moved towards evidence-based treatments. Gruzelier's work is showing for sure that the brain is doing quite different things under hypnosis than in normal everyday existence."

Why is Life Force Energy so Important?

2010-03-17T10:48:00.000-07:00

Ancient cultures understood the connection between breath and spirit, however in our western civilized culture, such notions are laughed at as outdated, arcane and foolish. Military experiments have already revealed that a person's DNA can change an individual's thought and mood. Experimenters who took DNA samples observed subjects from distances of up to fifty miles away. Simultaneous and instantaneous shifts in the DNA were found in their subjects' thoughts and moods. However, there is no known law of physics that can explain how and why these subjects changed faster than the speed of light. When asked what links the subject's DNA to the host, the unsatisfactory conclusion drawn was that some "unknown force" exists.

By observing how animals breathe when fighting, sleeping, healing and so forth, the Chinese learned from nature. They realized great wisdoms by studying breath and its relationship to life. Continuing to keep their minds open to this knowledge, and by immersing themselves in earthly phenomena, they imitated what they saw occurring in the physical world.

The Yellow River in China often flooded every year and the damp moisture that it brought caused many joint problems and other illnesses to those living in its fertile river basin. Those that practiced deep breathing techniques, which started with the famous "Five Animal Play", based on the "Tiger, Dear, Bear, Crane and Monkey", discovered that they did not get sick like those who did not practice the techniques. Not only was their immunity increased significantly, but their overall strength, energy and appearance was healthier than others, and they found that they lived longer and better lives as they continued practicing these methods.

Modern day science has only recently begun to communicate the idea that breathing is more than the simple exchange of oxygen and carbon dioxide. Life Force Energy is the unifying concept that provides strength to the body. It is vital for all processes to occur in nature and for the regulation of our health, fitness and longevity.

Sleep Duration and Fat Accumulation

2010-03-16T08:47:00.000-07:00

Sleep is a powerful force on your overall health, including your tendency to gain excess weight. In this latest study, sleep duration was linked to gains in abdominal fat even after researchers accounted for other factors that could influence weight, such as calories consumed and exercise habits. What this means is that if you’re not taking your sleep needs seriously, you could be unknowingly sabotaging your weight. This is true not only if you sleep too little, but also if you sleep too much.

There is a Difference Between a Disease and a Disorder

2010-03-15T10:31:00.000-07:00

“No behavior or misbehavior is a disease or can be a disease. That’s not what diseases are… Diseases are malfunctions of the human body of the heart, the liver, the kidney, the brain... So it doesn’t matter how a child behaves. There’s nothing to examine. If he is sick then there must be some objective science to it, which can be diagnosed by physicians and objective tests… Labeling a child as mentally ill is stigmatization not diagnosis. Giving a child a psychiatric drug is poisoning not treatment.”

Proper Sleep Matters

2010-03-05T11:21:00.000-08:00

Being able to get a good night's sleep in this stressful modern age is becoming more and more difficult. This is especially true in these troubled financial times. But sleep is one of the major keys to health, healing and longevity. Studies show that people who sleep more are in greater health, think more clearly, have more energy, live longer and their hearts work easier throughout the day.

When we sleep at night the liver is busy re-energizing the blood. This is one reason why over 50% of our blood ends up in the liver and spleen overnight. It is important, therefore, to keep our blood flowing and upon waking move it away from the organs and up into the brain. Doing so will help prevent strokes, which occur primarily before 9 a.m. due to the large amount of blood that gets regenerated in the internal organs. During sleep the fire energies of the body slow down to recharge its organs. However, if you don't get sufficient sleep, the liver is unable to rejuvenate and the blood energy becomes deficient. Now the heart must work harder to maintain consciousness and make up for the lack that the liver is no longer providing.

If you ever experienced a day on only a few hours of sleep, then you probably noticed that your heart rate accelerated faster and harder. Human consciousness is fueled by the combined energies of the heart and kidneys, while thinking clarity, mood, overall metabolism and energy are governed by the liver. Without sufficient sleep the whole system is operating on its emergency reserves throughout the day. For those in good health this is not usually a problem if it occurs sporadically. But if you are chronically sleep deprived you are going to cause a host of short and long term illnesses. Deep sleep is necessary and critical to cell regeneration and the deeper the sleep, the greater is the healing and rebuilding of the body.

Anxiety Drugs are Addictive

2010-03-04T16:21:00.000-08:00

Anxiety is a major health problem in the US. About 40 million American adults aged 18 and older, have an issue that may include: Panic, Obsession, Compulsion, Post-traumatic Stress, Generalized Anxiety and Phobias. Unfortunately, most people who suffer either do nothing, or resort to pharmaceutical drugs – many of which are ineffective, and capable of destroying ones health and sanity further. And, unfortunately, most of the research being done is to develop newer drugs, rather than finding truly healthy solutions.

Researchers found that commonly prescribed benzodiazepine drugs (e.g. Ativan, Xanax and Valium) exert a calming effect by boosting the action of a neurotransmitter called gamma-aminobutyric acid (GABA) in the same way as addictive drugs like heroin and cannabis. This in turn activates the gratification hormone, dopamine, in the brain, showing that the same brain "reward pathways" are used by both types of drugs. People with higher levels of dopamine in the brain tend to be more prone to addictive behavior. Sadly, pharmaceutical drug abuse has become one of the greatest threats of modern society. In fact, prescription drugs are now used more frequently for the purpose of satisfying addiction than illegal drugs.

You can avoid the side effects of taking drugs. Break your addictions and resolve your tension and stress. Learning to address your concerns in a natural way is imperative both for mental and physical health.

Hypnosis Helps Children

2010-03-02T15:45:00.000-08:00

Is your child struggling in school? There is a little secret that you need to know in order to change this.

The traditional notion of intelligence, based on I.Q. testing, is far too limited. There are eight different intelligences that account for a broader range of human potential in children and adults.

Linguistic intelligence (word smart) involves sensitivity to spoken and written language, the ability to learn languages, and the capacity to use language to accomplish certain goals.

Logical-mathematical intelligence (number/reasoning smart) consists of the capacity to analyze problems logically, carry out mathematical operations, and investigate issues scientifically.

Musical intelligence (music smart) involves skill in the performance, composition, and appreciation of musical patterns.

Bodily-kinesthetic intelligence (body smart) entails the potential of using one’s whole body or parts of the body to solve problems.

Spatial intelligence (picture smart) involves the potential to recognize and use the patterns of wide space and more confined areas.

Interpersonal intelligence (people smart) is concerned with the capacity to understand the intentions, motivations and desires of other people.

Intrapersonal intelligence (self smart) entails the capacity to understand oneself, to appreciate one’s feelings, fears and motivations.

Naturalist intelligence (nature smart) enables human beings to recognize, categorize and draw upon certain features of the environment.

Schools focus most of their attention on linguistic and logical-mathematical intelligence. Many children who are gifted in other ways don’t receive much reinforcement for them in school.

Many of these kids, in fact, end up being labeled “learning disabled,” “ADD,” or simply underachievers, when their unique ways of thinking and learning aren’t addressed by a heavily linguistic or logical-mathematical classroom.

Children can excel in many areas with the power of hypnosis. Find out if your child is ready to learn. Consult with Dr. Regal for more information on this matter.

Are You Misdirected By Food Label Lies?

2010-02-26T11:16:00.000-08:00

The healthiest food often has the least marketing muscle behind it. The Center for Science in the Public Interest recently published a comprehensive report on the subject, a persuasive indictment called "Food Labeling Chaos."

Here are nine of the most common ways food labels lie, so you can prepare before your next trip to the grocery store.

“Made With Whole Grains”

Unbleached wheat flour is still the main ingredient; whole wheat flour is further down on the list, indicating that the product contains relatively little. One truth -- the presence of whole grains -- masks another; that whole grains make up an insignificant portion of the food.

Another factor to keep in mind is the presence of potassium bromate, a dough conditioner found in commercial bakery products and some flours, which is a major, but hidden cause of thyroid dysfunction. This ingredient may be used even in whole grain breads.

Ingredients

Even if the first ingredient listed isn’t sugar, the product may contain more sugar than anything else. How is it possible? Just add up all the sugars that go by different names, such as sugar, corn syrup, high-fructose corn syrup and white grape juice concentrate.

Serving Size

There are 2.5 official servings in a 20 ounce soda bottles, meaning that 100 calories per "serving" is really 240 calories per bottle.

Omega 3

Everyone knows omega-3 fats are healthy, but that doesn't mean every product emblazoned with the word is a healthy source of it. The FDA allows certain foods that are rich in two of the omega-3 fats to advertise that they can reduce the risk of coronary heart disease, but only if they're also low in saturated fats or other risk factors. Which is why some unhealthy foods use a bit of marketing misdirection: the packaging has the word "omega-3," but nothing specifically about heart health.

“Made With Real Fruit”

Usually the only thing approximating fruit is concentrate (sugar). If you want real fruit, buy real fruit. If you want candy, buy candy.

“0 Trans Fat”

Animal-based fats were once the only trans fats consumed, but by far the largest amount of trans fat consumed today is created by the processed food industry. Many reformulated foods are basically just as bad as processed ones, but they scream one truth: "0 trans fats!" to obscure another: "still bad for your heart!"

“Free Range Eggs”

This means chickens must be granted the luxury of exactly five minutes of "access" to the outdoors every day. Those eggs you buy may have been raised ethically, with room enough for hens to roam the yard. But there's no guarantee in the "free range" label.

Fiber

The fibers advertised in many foods are mainly "purified powders" called inulin, polydextrose and maltodextrin. These "isolated" unnatural fibers are unlikely to lower blood cholesterol or blood sugar, as other fibers can.

Tastes Like Medicine!

The FDA allows food manufacturers to make certain pre-approved "qualified health claims" about the health benefits of nutrients in food. But marketers have stretched this inch into a long mile. For instance, food makers can't say that their product "helps reduce the risk of heart disease" without FDA approval, so they say that it "helps maintain a healthy heart."

That's why several public health groups, including the American Heart Association and the American Cancer Society, have voiced concern about this trend.

Choose the direction that you want to go by accessing the power of your mind. Use this tool for self-empowerment and eating healthy. You'll be glad you did!

What Conditions Affect Your Memory?

2010-02-23T07:04:00.000-08:00

Learning is greatly influenced by ones state of mind. A student's ability to recall newly learned material can be correlated to her frame of consciousness. She will demonstrate a measurably higher retention rate when asked to recall information that was learned using the "same" state of mind. This is because learning that takes place in one situation or state is generally better remembered later in a similar situation or state.

The medical term that describes this phenomenon is State Dependent Learning. The American Heritage Medical Journal defines SDL as learning information in one particular state that cannot be recalled or used unless the subject is restored to the same state when this learning first occurred.

Environmental context: Subjects who learn information in one room are able to remember more when tested in the same room than in a novel room. Other environmental influences may include the time of day and the people who are present.

Physical state: Subjects who learn new information while under the influence of a drug, such as caffeine or nicotine, will perform better if tested under the influence of the same drug.

Emotional state: Subjects who are sad are better able to remember unhappy or unpleasant memories; subjects who are happy are better able to remember happy or pleasant memories. The effect of emotional state is amplified in subjects with depression, who may show disproportionate retrieval of unhappy memories -- thus unintentionally heightening their own feelings of depression.

Sensory modality: Subjects given information in verbal format may be more able to answer verbal questions about the information, while subjects to whom the information is presented in a visual format may be more able to recognize the same information again when presented visually.

Students who typically cram for an examination often times use caffeine or other stimulants as a late night studying aid. The rule of thumb, as State Dependent Learning applies, however, is to only take a substance to aid in studying if you have enough of said substance to take it before your examination, and are willing to do so. If you don't want to be buzzed out on coffee for your test, don't be buzzed when you study. It won't help you.

What Makes A Habit Hard To Break? By Dr. Regal

2010-02-20T19:18:00.000-08:00

One word many times answers this question: Cravings! Cravings are virtually impossible to overcome with willpower alone. These powerful desires are many times habitual responses to the very things a person has labeled as "off limits". The intense urges that one feels inside just multiply each time she tries to hold herself back from them, even though she knows that these sinister temptations are bad for her. So, what’s going on here?

Self-imposed restrictions are the typical reasons why people fail. That is why we need something more than positive affirmations to stick to our game plans. Everyone needs to address their hidden memories and associated feelings that drive their behavior. In the normal waking state, however, this is nearly impossible and rarely accomplished.

So then you might ask, “Why is it so challenging to do the 'right' things when I know the 'wrong' things will harm me?” One likely scenario is probably this: there is a part of you that is saying “yes” while another part is saying “no.” And this framework of events is what usually leads to internal conflict. So unless this opposition gets resolved, a yo-yo effect of addictive behaviors is generated.

“Well, how do I break this habit?” is the common follow up question. And my reply is this: “The common solution is de-hypnosis and recreating a sense of harmony within. Many times this is achieved with Parts Therapy, a sophisticated modern method of Hypnotherapy. And you will need a hypnotherapist who has been trained to handle this type of problem in order to do so."

Students of Hypnosis can also become a qualified practitioner of Parts Therapy by attending the C. Roy Hunter workshop sponsored by Regal Hypnosis this coming April.

Can You Be Hypnotized? Take This Hypnosis Receptivity Test and Find Out Now!

2010-02-19T09:48:00.001-08:00

Can you easily go into a self induced trance? You can take this self administered test and see how easy it is for you to enter a light to moderate hypnoidal state using a focused gaze. This experiment when properly conducted will take approximately 60-90 seconds. You may be a natural or have to work at this a little bit. Read on for the directions.

Look intently into the spiral and count slowly back from 20 to 1. When you get to the number 1, rapidly shift the focus of your gaze into the palm of your hand. Note what you see. Next evaluate your responses by comparing your experience to the three possibilities listed underneath this swirling figure.

Focus on this moving spiral and begin counting down from 20.

Three Possibilities

1 . You saw nothing unusual. It was challenging to fix your gaze on the moving spiral. Perhaps this image is too small for you to work with, or you just need a little more practice before inducing self hypnosis. Try again after resting your eyes for at least five to ten minutes.

2. The spiral appeared to change repeatably in different ways and your hand expanded and swirled when you looked at it. You can readily induce self hypnosis and with moderate effort achieve a deep trance state.

3. The spiral changed repeatedly in many different ways and you saw flashes of color. Your hand expanded and contracted, and you felt a dreamy feeling. You are very hypnotizable, and would be a perfect volunteer for a stage hypnotist.

How Many Hypnotherapy Sessions Will I Need?

2010-02-18T20:10:00.000-08:00

Determining what the best course of action is can sometimes be quite challenging, especially when you do not really know the pros and cons behind each choice. Often I am asked, "Is it better to go hourly or will I benefit more from taking the package discount?" This post was specifically written to assist those who want to make an informed choice.

If your objective is to simply override a symptom, without learning self hypnosis or pursuing the root cause of your presenting issue(s), go with hourly. You will probably save more money, at least in the short-run. I find there is typically a 20-25% success rate in one two-hour session ($250), a 60-66% success rate in two 90-minute sessions ($380) and an 75-80% success rate in three 90-minute sessions ($570). If additional sessions are needed follow ups can be scheduled from $65 each. The only concern I have with this type of approach is that the results may be short lived, so occasional follow ups for maintenance are very possible.

If your objective is to become self empowered and explore the cause behind the symptom and/or learn self hypnosis go with the package. You can have it all in two 3-hour sessions, three 2-hour sessions or (recommended) four 90-minute sessions. The total cost is $675 and my clients have around an 88% success rate after 4 sessions. The success rate of the average Hypnotherapist goes up to 93% after 6 sessions. To date, with all sincere and serious Students of Hypnosis, I have successfully addressed all primary concerns in 6 or less sessions.

Do You Know How the Closure Principle Operates?

2010-02-17T10:37:00.000-08:00

The Closure Principle infers that: "We seek closure as a release from tension." Closure is the resolution of tension. When you experience tension, you are motivated to resolve it. And it is ones anticipation of attaining closure that creates pleasure.

Let's explore how this combined tension and pleasure formula really works. During a rollercoaster ride tension mounts as you clank up the slope, anticipating a drop on the other side. As you reach the summit there is a short-lived sigh of relief, then tension quickly returns as you plummet over the edge. You quietly say to yourself, “Will I survive?” as you begin your descent. As you reach the other end safely, a sense of relief returns. Thus by completing each tension filled moment of activity, you yield another personal sense of satisfaction. And a series of these pleasing repetitions can eventually lead to an addiction with the reward being an adrenaline rush. Another example would be, when shopping, we enjoy the pleasure of anticipated completion of the purchase; or when gambling, the excitement of winning a wager or bet. These activities can become addictive behaviors, so one must be mindful of how these behaviors are processed.

Any closure can help reduce or minimize any tension. When someone yells and shouts at you, you can resolve your tension by slamming a door instead of responding directly. You could also drive fast, lift weights or chop wood to release stress. Another possibility is to literally close the door on an issue by ignoring it or not even confront it at all. Closure happens when you say yes to a solution. It terminates all further cognitive action on a matter. All associated tensions then disappear as a feeling of wellbeing permeates your body. Key is maintaining a sense of balance and moderation without going overboard.

Learn how to achieve ideal closure utilizing the premium power of your mind. Dr. Regal can show you healthy ways to maximize your true potential. Get your issues resolved by a qualified professional.

Ona Brown Inspires With Her Three-Step Plan

2010-02-16T10:18:00.000-08:00

I had the privilege of meeting, hearing and talking with Ona Brown last night. She is an up and coming orator, daughter of the more renowned Les Brown, motivational speaker. I'd like to share some of her insights and my inspirations with you.

After meeting the eye of the storm (your particular challenges in life) you have two choices. "Let go of control or be dragged," Ona puts it. There are three steps to now consider.

Step 1. Find a way to honor yourself. Instead of feeling guilty, stop thinking maybe it was something that you could have done. Do things that bring you self-respect. If you want to dance, dance. If you want to travel, travel. You get the drift. Do whatever it is that you truly want to do in life.

Step 2. Find a way to expand yourself. "God, let me know the truth about myself," Ona beckoned, "no matter how magnificent it is." She saw herself as shy and introverted. She didn't know what was possible until accepting an invitation from her father to get out in front of an audience. She had to experientially overcome her self-imposed fears.

Step 3. Find a way to prepare yourself. Get ready for what you would like to truly manifest. Take every step needed to promote as well as create your product or service. Organize your plan of action. Not only envision a positive outcome, get involved by speaking freely at public events and reaching out to a lot of people. You have to believe in what you are doing, before you will be able to convince others.

Vince Lombardi said in various ways, “Winners never quit and quitters never win.” “If you aren't fired with enthusiasm, you will be fired with enthusiasm.” “Show me a good loser, and I'll show you a loser.” “The greatest accomplishment is not in never falling, but in rising again after you fall.” “Winning isn't everything, but the will to win is everything.”

Take charge of your life. The tools are readily available.

Are You Challenged By Negative Programming?

2010-02-13T08:43:00.000-08:00

"Ninety percent of foods Americans purchase every year are processed foods, and food marketers do a masterful job at making it seem like fast foods and junk foods are the obvious choice.

"But these processed foods, are dead and devoid of any natural nutrition. The fact that they taste good is the culmination of a profitable science of artificial flavors and additives, without which most processed food would taste and look like cardboard.

"But what the food industry neglects to tell you is that there is a heavy price for consuming this terrible diet. For the sake of convenience or good taste now, you are trading one of the most valuable assets that you have, your health."

You can break bad habits quickly with the right tools. The fastest known method is accessing the power of your will. This can be readily achieved with Hypnosis. It's time to learn how!

Those who seriously desire to lose weight will have to break some serious habits or they will find again those lost pounds. Eating well requires getting on the right track. Breaking poor eating habits is half the battle. And getting started requires de-hypnosis more than than anything else. I necessarily have to redirect my clients from eating junk food and filler while helping them increase "real" food consumption. This is a gradual process, but it works!

Courageous Wake Book Signing

2010-02-11T15:24:00.000-08:00

Author Dr. Catherine Perry penned her autobiographical and heartfelt story called "Courageous Wake". It is an inspiring as well as captivating book that I chose to read practically non-stop. Here are a few of her quoted words, so you can see what I mean.

"What I'd been trained to believe is normal is merely an illusion."

"A mystic is a person who knows things without needing proof, logic or outside authority to authenticate the knowledge."

"Those who are ready to hear of your knowing will see your work as a gift. They will be infinitely grateful, and they will pass on what they have learned to others."

Enjoy this motivational journey!

Is The Ouija Board A Portal Or Gateway For Demonic Forces To Come In? By Dr. Regal

2010-02-10T11:02:00.000-08:00

Ouija (literally meaning "yes-yes" since both the French word "oui" and the German word "ja" translate to the English equivalent "yes") works via automatism, so it may be considered a valuable tool for investigating the subconscious realm, like pendulums or other devices that are used by diviners. The caveat with all divinations is how the querrent interprets the information received. Because it is easy for a neophyte practitioner to be misled, attentive care is typically advised.

Understanding how to create a personal shield of protection for all participants and their possessions is essential for the cautious minded. One major concern is that by becoming overly reliant on the mystical information presented, one loses her ability to think independently for herself.

We live on a need to know basis. It is therefore with some risk or possible peril, one seeks positive insights via divinatory methods. The danger is, of course, that she may end up summoning ominous premonitions instead.

Learn Self Hypnosis. This is the safest way to access your subconscious mind.

Why Do Spiraling Eyes In A Cartoon Mean Hypnosis Was Induced?

2010-02-09T19:25:00.000-08:00

"Spirals are also a symbol of hypnosis, stemming from the cliché of people and cartoon characters being hypnotized by staring into a spinning spiral (One example being Kaa in Disney's The Jungle Book). They are also used as a symbol of dizziness, where the eyes of a cartoon character, especially in anime and manga, will turn into spirals to show they are dizzy or dazed." Thus, the winding spirals represent a "mirrored image" of a person's eyes after viewing a hypnotic spinning pattern.

Ten Systems of the Human Body

2010-02-05T09:12:00.000-08:00

Although viewed as whole, the human body is actually made up of ten different systems. Each of these systems plays a vital part in the health and well being of the entire body.

1. Integumentary system- The integumentary system, the largest system in the body, is comprised of skin, hair and nails as well as sweat and oil glands. It functions as a protective covering for underlying tissues against drying and invasion by toxins or pathogenic organisms. The skin is responsible for regulating body temperature. It is made up of three distinct tissue layers. The epidermis is the outermost layer and is made entirely of epithelial cells. The middle layer is the dermis, which contains blood vessels, nerve endings and glands. The subcutaneous is the innermost layer, a combination of elastic, fibrous and adipose tissues.

2. Skeletal system- The skeletal system provides structural support and protection with bones, cartilage, ligaments and tendons.

3. Muscular system- The muscular system has three types of muscle tissue: skeletal, cardiac and visceral. Skeletal muscles are voluntary muscles that work with the connective tissues to allow the body to move. Cardiac muscles form the bulk of the heart’s wall. Visceral muscles are found in various parts of the body like the arteries, digestive tract and other organs.

4. Circulatory system- The circulatory system is a closed system whose main function is to carry blood to all parts of the body. It is made up of the heart, arteries and systemic arterioles which carry oxygenated blood from the heart to the cells in the body as well as the systemic capillaries and veins which carry deoxygenated blood from the body back to the heart. An adjunct is the lymphatic network, which transports a watery clear fluid called lymph. This fluid distributes immune cells and other factors throughout the body by interacting with the blood circulatory system to drain fluid from cells and tissues. The lymphatic network contains immune cells called lymphocytes, which protect the body against antigens (viruses, bacteria, etc.) that invade the body.

5. Respiratory system- The respiratory system is primarily comprised of two lungs and the passages that lead to and from them. This system begins at the nostrils and includes the nasal cavities, sinuses, pharynx, larynx (voice box), trachea (windpipe), bronchi and alveoli. After successive inhalations, oxygen passes through the bronchi and enters the bronchial tubes. When it finally reaches the alveoli, the oxygen mixes with the blood.

6. Digestive system – The digestive system is comprised of all the organs that help break down food into a useable substance for the body. It includes the mouth, teeth, tongue, esophagus, stomach, duodenum, small and large intestines, colon, rectum and anus. It also includes accessory organs like the salivary glands, liver, gallbladder, pancreas and spleen.

7. Urinary system – The urinary system is comprised of the kidneys, the ureters, the bladder and the urethra. It maintains fluid balance, electrolyte balance and excretion of urine.

8. Nervous system- The nervous system is made up of the brain, spinal cord and nerves. It also includes special sense organs such as the eyes, ears and taste buds. In itself, the nervous system is broken up into the central and peripheral nervous systems. The central nervous system is made up of the brain and spinal cord. The peripheral nervous system consists of both cranial and spinal nerves. There are twelve cranial nerves that carry messages to and from the brain. The spinal nerves are those that carry messages to and from the spinal cord.

9. Endocrine system- The endocrine system is made up of hormone producing glands that regulate growth, the use of food within the cells and reproduction. Primary endocrine glands are the pineal, hypothalamus, pituitary, thyroid, parathyroid, thymus, adrenal, pancreas, and ovaries/testes.

10. Reproductive system- The reproductive system includes the sex organs. For women, we refer to parts such as the uterus, uterine tubes, ovaries, vagina and vulva. For men, we refer to parts such as the prostrate, testes, penis, the vas deferens, seminal vesicles and urethra.

It is through these ten specialized systems all working together that allows us to maintain every aspect of life from standing to sleeping to breathing. If any one of these systems fail, the entire individual suffers.

What is Epigenetic Control?

2010-02-04T11:19:00.000-08:00

Bruce Lipton’s “New Biology” is a school of scientific thought that adds a “new” way of thinking about disease, namely that your emotions can trigger your genes to either express health or disease.

The old belief that genes control life is referred to as the central dogma. If the parts are controlled by the DNA, then the shape of your body and your behavior is predetermined in the DNA. This is the central dogma, that your genes control your life.

When you repeat something long enough it becomes a fundamental rule. Dogma is a belief based on religious persuasion not scientific fact. The universe is not based on matter; it is based on energy. Your body is energy and it is influenced by energy.

Today's biology means a profound difference for us. The new biology will take you from a world of crisis and ill health to another level of masterful control.

Epigenetic control means that your mind controls your genes. If you are controlled by your genes then you are a victim of your genes. But, it is your mind that controls genetic expression! You go from victim to master in the new biology.

If Compassion Heals, What Does Punishment Do?

2010-02-03T18:59:00.000-08:00

This post is inspired by watching Donald L. Nathason's videos on You Tube.

Dr. Nathanson describes the Compass of Shame. In the north he places withdrawal. In the south lies avoidance. Attacking oneself is placed in the east and attacking others is in the west. Finding balance within oneself is symbolically represented at the origin. At the midpoint one is centered.

Trauma triggers chemicals within our bodies to survive a frightful experience. This process is likened to damage control. The repetition of negativity thereafter exponentially builds upon itself. A never-ending cycle of enduring shame and blame becomes a self fulfilling prophecy.

The only valid response to dealing with another individual's shame is compassion. Restoring justice is not happening when guilt is solely admonished. The missing ingredient is caring kindness.

IQ Really Doesn't Measure Intelligence

2010-01-19T12:47:00.000-08:00

How can someone with a high IQ have "apparent" intellectual deficiencies? Put another way, how can a "smart" person act foolishly? IQ tests fall down when it comes to measuring those abilities crucial to making good judgements in real-life situations. That's because they are unable to assess things such as a person's ability to critically weigh up information, or whether an individual can override the intuitive cognitive biases that can lead us astray.

IQ tests are very good at measuring certain mental faculties including logic, abstract reasoning, learning ability and working-memory capacity - how much information you can hold in mind. But the tests fall down when it comes to measuring those abilities crucial to making good judgements in real-life situations. That's because they are unable to assess things such as a person's ability to critically weigh up information, or whether an individual can override the intuitive cognitive biases that can lead us astray. IQ tests measure an important domain of cognitive functioning and they are moderately good at predicting academic and work success. But they are incomplete. They fall short of the full panoply of skills that would come under the rubric of 'good thinking'.

The problem with IQ tests is that while they are effective at assessing our deliberative skills, which involve reason and the use of working memory, they are unable to assess our inclination to use them when the situation demands. Some people who are intellectually able do not bother to engage very much in analytical thinking and are inclined to rely on their intuitions. Other people will check out their gut feeling and reason it through and make sure they have a justification for what they're doing.

Maximize your testing abilities. Learn Hypnosis.

You can do this!

How Stress Evolves in Your Brain

2010-01-13T17:48:00.000-08:00

A “brain fart” is a term for an inexplicably stupid error in a straightforward task made by someone with abundant skill and experience. Everyone is prone to them. Neuroscientists call these episodes “maladaptive brain activity changes.”

The latest research seems to indicate that brain farts are a unique type of cognitive mistake. They have a predictable neural pattern that emerges up to 30 seconds before they happen.

Basically, your brain will take any opportunity to shut down some of its processing systems. Here’s the process step by step:

t-10 minutes

You’re daydreaming, and your medial temporal lobe subsystem, precuneus, medial prefrontal subsystem, and posterior cingulate cortex, which together make up the default mode network (DMN) are all active.

t-5 minutes

You confront a demanding task, such as driving home. Your anterior cingulate and right prefrontal regions, brain areas involved in attention, begin to activate, as do the cerebellum and the parietal, visual, and temporal cortices, which control the motor coordination you need to pilot through traffic. At the same time, the DMN deactivates.

t-30 seconds

Your route is extremely familiar. Your frontal lobes, bored by this habitual task, begin to power down. The retrosplenial cortex in the posterior section of the DMN begins to stir again. When the balance of activity between the DMN and the attention network reaches a certain threshold, you enter an error-prone state. You miss your exit off the highway.

t+5 seconds

Your frontal lobes fire up again at high levels in an attempt to compensate for the error. They return to a state of optimal performance, ready to work on a corrective action.

t+15 seconds

The stress of having made a blunder activates the limbic-hypothalamic-pituitary-adrenal axis, your brain’s “panic button.” You experience a surge of the stress hormone cortisol.

The default mode network (DMN) of your brain is responsible for your inward-focused thinking, such as daydreaming. But this is far from a passive activity, and actually uses up a lot of energy. The DMN competes, in a sense, with other areas of your brain for resources, and in order for you to carry out a task that requires focused attention, your brain must inhibit the DMN.

Can You “Train Your Brain” to Avoid "Maladaptive Brain Activity Changes"?

It may be next to impossible to completely eliminate DMN blips from your life, but you can certainly ramp up your brain function to enhance your memory, skills and more.

Your brain is actually a very moldable organ that can even rewire itself if given the proper tools.

In fact, humans continue to make new neurons throughout life in response to mental activity.

Brain volume was commonly believed to stop expanding after age 20. But in MRI brain scans researchers have found that white matter in your brain continues to increase until people are in their mid- to late-40s.

One of the simplest methods to boost your brain function is to keep on learning. The size and structure of neurons and the connections between them actually change as you learn. This can take on many forms above and beyond book learning to include activities like traveling, learning to play a musical instrument or speak a foreign language, or participating in social and community activities.

Another important method? Brain aerobics. As with learning, challenging your brain with mind-training exercises can keep your brain fit as you age. This can be something as simple as thinking of famous people whose first names begin with the letter A, doing crossword puzzles or playing board games that get you thinking.

Dr. Regal adds: The benefits of learning hypnosis are plentiful. Train your brain to strengthen and lengthen your mental acuity.

Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!

Hypnosis Alters Brain Activity

2010-01-13T07:40:00.000-08:00

New research from the University of Hull, published November 2009 in Consciousness and Cognition, shows that hypnosis is real. Psychologists have discovered that basic brain activity undergoes change when people are hypnotized.

Dr William McGeown and his colleagues in the department of Psychology and Centre for Clinical Neuroscience hypnotized university students and looked at brain activity, employing a technique called functional magnetic reasonance imaging (fMRI).

It was found that: Hypnosis altered anterior brain activity only in those subjects who were able to respond to suggestions. These are the people who may be termed ‘highly suggestible’.

The study led to the unexpected finding that hypnosis decreases activity in areas of the brain that support the so-called “default mode” network. Activity in this network generally occurs when people are resting, daydreaming or letting their minds wander.

Dr McGeown says: “These results are unequivocal; the changes in anterior brain activity observed in our study occurred only in highly suggestible subjects, those most open to the idea of hypnosis. By contrast, no changes in brain activity were detected in these areas in the low suggestible subjects. This shows that the changes were due to hypnosis and not just simple relaxation.”

He concludes: “Our study shows that hypnosis is real; it corresponds to a unique pattern of brain activation which was not observed in any other experimental condition and was not seen in people who were not hypnotizable.”

For clarity, Dr. Regal adds: Participants who did not willingly follow the suggestions of the operator in this particular study were labeled as "people who were not hypnotizable". Trusting the process play a major role in hypnosis! Anyone who takes the time can learn hypnosis from a qualified instructor.

Learn Hypnosis to Become Independent by Dr. Regal

2009-12-19T12:22:00.000-08:00

Do bad things happen to you? Why aren’t you getting what you want? Would you like to know how to achieve the health that you desire?

Every time you introduce a foreign substance into your body you distort your harmonious balance with nature. Added stressors inhibit your immune system. And if you buy into a victim mentality, then you end up needing a rescuer.

Learning Self Empowerment is your key to independence. You can acquire health, happiness and prosperity. You need not be locked in to an inherited circumstance. You have the power of choice.

You can eliminate any harmful intruders from your life. You can get your mind into harmony and balance. And once you’re in a full state of health, you’re profoundly protected from almost every negative influence.

Deep-seated harmful and adverse memories from childhood, however, have the propensity to sabotage our wellbeing. These perpetrators are negative imprints that are instilled at an early age.

Children up until six years old live mostly in an altered state known as a Hypnagogic Trance. Their open minds are constantly vulnerable to being programmed by other people. Therefore, as adults, everyone’s biology is driven predominantly by memories hidden inside their subconscious.

Increased stress inhibits our auto immune systems. It leaves us open and vulnerable to outside threats, so we become prone to compromising our health. Since the way we think controls the fate of our wellbeing, it is of the utmost importance to remove any negatively programmed patterns or harmful memories and redirect the mind towards our desired outcomes.

It’s time to reprogram those subconscious thoughts and suppressed memories. Get on the road to self-empowerment. Learn Hypnosis.

Heighten Your Awareness With Hypnosis by Dr. Regal

2009-12-14T12:50:00.001-08:00

In life we are destined to travel through four unique phases. Our starting point is Unconscious Incompetence. We do not know that we do not know.

The next attainment is our Conscious Incompetence. After transcending our self denial and self ignorance, we discover that what we thought we knew we do not know.

As we continue to experience life we begin learning and developing our Conscious Competence. We then know and act on a conscious level.

However, to get to the revered place of Self Mastery one must access a heightened level of awareness called Unconscious Competence. This is the highest plateau we can ever aim to achieve. When we simultaneously know and act subconsciously, we are have arrived at this destination.

Acquire the the skill set that you need for top achievement. Heighten your awareness with a focused mind. Find out how you can accelerate your progress.

Hypnosis Takes Meditation to Another Level by Dr. Regal

2009-12-02T15:31:00.000-08:00

One can learn how to slow the mental processes down and achieve a feeling of peacefulness and tranquility in the "alpha state" of consciousness. This can be accomplished with Meditation or Hypnosis. In fact, many have compared Hypnosis to a Guided Meditation, since progressing into a relaxed state is usually a common occurrence for both modalities.

Being familiar with an altered state of consciousness accelerates the learning process. Meditation, therefore, is a great starting point for understanding Hypnosis. Because a calming effect is common to both phenomena, having prior experience with Meditation is worthwhile and helpful when first learning Hypnosis.

As your desired objectives go beyond clearing your mind from intellectual distractions, Hypnosis will become your preferred and most effective instrument for change. Hypnosis surpasses meditation when it comes to achieving specific goals, because the main purpose of Meditation is designed to let go of chatter in the brain while Hypnosis is a focused energy that is used to achieve specific goals.

Outstanding progress can be quickly achieved in a relatively short period of time with Hypnosis. With a desired outcome at hand, Hypnosis is unlimited when it comes to serving fundamental needs. You can rapidly be elevated to a greater level by embracing the knowledge of how Hypnosis works.

Although Meditation lacks versatility and usefulness when compared with Hypnosis, it nonetheless is a building block that can be used as a steppingstone to learning Hypnosis.

One can actually learn how to redirect the subconscious mind by attuning her fleeting thoughts towards a declared objective. This portrays the process of how Hypnosis transcends the fundamentals of changing states. The trained operator gives constructive suggestions to the semi-conscious brain while in the hypnotic state. It is an amazing process that you can learn.

Study with a professional who can show you the way to mastering the power of your mind. Learn how to benefit from the power of Hypnosis. It is the next step in actualizing your self.

Is Hypnotherapy Right For You? by Dr. Regal

2009-11-16T08:39:00.000-08:00

If there is any doubt in your mind whether or not Hypnotherapy can work for you, it is time to find out from a qualified Hypnotherapist. He will take the time to get to know you and hear what your concerns are. It is thereafter his responsibility to allay any fears that you may have regarding Hypnotism.

Hypnosis can only occur if you are comfortable with the operator and agree to be hypnotized. It is a consensual act that requires your confidence in the Hypnotist. All Hypnosis is Self Hypnosis, therefore you always remain in control.

During your initial session it is therefore necessarily important for you to develop a comfortable relationship with your Hypnotherapist. This is why the first session typically takes longer than follow up sessions. For your success, it is essential to trust and have faith in the process. All uncertainties must be completely addressed before a Hypnotist is able to assist you in achieving the hypnotic state.

Get your issues resolved by a qualified professional. Dr. Aleksonder Regal, Board Certified NGH Hypnotherapist and Instructor can teach you how. Call him today!

How Does One Achieve Self Actualization? by Dr. Regal

2009-11-13T09:26:00.000-08:00

To get to this state called Self Actualization one must first be de-hypnotized. This reversal is symbolically represented by The Hanged Man who is no longer dependent upon the ideas of others. He has established his own free-will and clearly thinks for himself.

This illumined point of self-awareness requires letting go of ego. It is the completion of the first half of ones life path. The journey continues thereafter with redirecting oneself with Hypnosis towards manifesting ones innate purpose in life.

Moving away from pain is not healing from it. One just returns to ground zero. Until one moves towards self-healing, the solution for resolving ones pain is still not revealed.

The Career of the Future is Hypnotherapy by Dr. Regal

2009-08-14T19:25:00.000-07:00

Hypnotherapy is gaining widespread favor and acceptance at an incredible rate. It has secured its reputation by becoming one of the most effective methods in achieving quick and long lasting results. Since 1958, when the A.M.A. first approved its use in the United States, Hypnotherapy has expanded into its own profession. And its popularity continues to soar since Hypnotherapy is known to enhance the mind-body connection.

Both medical professionals and alternative healers are successfully utilizing Hypnotherapy in their practices. In fact, many accomplished doctors, nurses, massage therapists and other state of the art healthcare professionals include Hypnotism in their repertoire as the preferred method for obtaining results. Since Hypnotism is experiencing exponential growth, it has become the fastest growing effective adjunct in the healthcare profession.

Dr. Alfred A. Barrios reveals in his survey of psychotherapy literature:
Psychoanalysis has a 38% recovery rate after 600 sessions.
Behavior Therapy has a 72% recovery rate after 22 sessions.
Hypnotherapy has a 93% recovery rate after 6 sessions.
Source: American Health Magazine

Hypnotherapy is used to assist people. It can be taught to help anyone eventually, if not immediately, eradicate or diminish all types of presenting issues like stress, addictions, fears, pains or negative behaviors. In addition, Hypnotherapy is often utilized to help individuals overcome a wide variety of challenging physical maladies and deep-seated emotional concerns. Oftentimes for skeptics, hypnotic methods are relied upon as a last resort. And those who do eventually accept Hypnosis as a means to an end are pleasantly surprised as well as rewarded by the results they achieve.

A qualified Hypnotherapist usually charges between $100-$200 an hour. Full time professionals often earn over $80,000 a year. Part time practitioners with only a few clients typically earn over $300 a week.

Hypnotherapy is easy to learn, rewarding and lucrative to practice. Discover the joy and excitement this field has to offer. Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!

What May Be Stopping You From Healing?

2009-07-22T05:32:00.000-07:00

I would like to share with everyone a wonderful story from an anonymous writer. Perhaps you will find it inspirational and compelling.

“One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big notice on the door which read......

'Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company has passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym.'

In the beginning, they all felt sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself.

The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up.

Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well, at least he died!'

One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless.

They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin. Everyone who looked inside it could see himself.

There was also a sign next to the mirror that said: 'There is only one person who is capable to set limits to your growth. It is you.'

You are the only person who can revolutionize your life. You are the only person who can influence your happiness, your realization and your success. You are the only person who can help yourself.

Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes, when your company changes. Your life changes when you change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs, when you realize that you are the only one responsible for your life.

The most important relationship you can have is the one you have with yourself!

Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid of difficulties, impossibilities and losses. Be a winner, build yourself and your reality.

The world is like a mirror. it gives back to anyone the reflection of the thoughts in which one has strongly believed.

The world and your reality are like mirrors laying in a coffin, which show to any individual the death of his divine capability to imagine and create his happiness and his success.

It's the way you face life that makes the difference.”

What Motivates Us To Do What We Dont Want To Do? by Dr. Regal

2009-07-05T20:28:00.000-07:00

Why do some of us undermine our self-motivation with negative thoughts and fall into a slump? If it was known to us that as we conceived and believed, we ultimately achieved, would we purposefully fail at our endeavors? If you knew ahead of time that your outcomes were simply predetermined events that were decided way in advance based upon how you think, feel and behave, would you purposely choose to lose?

Many of us who have ever felt like a failure did so because we lacked trust in ourselves. Feelings of inadequacy squandered our opportunities for abundance. A sense of hopelessness pervaded our entire mind. Fortunately, nowadays, those in need of assistance with this malady can boost their Self Confidence with Hypnosis.

Some of us still do not know what we want in our lives because we cannot focus clearly on our objectives. After being misguided by others, we gave up on our true inspirations. Yet, I know it is possible with Hypnosis, to regain our inner strength and actively pursue our ambitions.

Are you alive because it is fun, stimulating or beneficial?
Can you identify the reasons behind your behavior?
Do you know what drives you to do the things that you do?
What makes any matter really important to you?
Is urgency the key to inspiring immediate action?

If you got lost on your way, you were seeking external guidance and direction outside of yourself. And sadly enough, this never had to be. Succumbing to the request of another that is non-harmonious with your Self is a tragedy. And while none of these miseries ever needed to occur on one level, they necessarily did on another. Thus this article was written to advise, counsel and redirect everyone present here to return to their natural essence and live the life that they were born to live.

“People who are unable to motivate themselves must be content with mediocrity, no matter how impressive their other talents.”
-Andrew Carnegie

Our life purpose is based upon our own inner excitement. It is this innate enthusiasm that we have that propels us toward reaching our major accomplishments. In order for us to follow our path, we must therefore remain true to our calling. Only when we enjoy who we are and what we do are we going to stay motivated.

It is up to us to forgive what was, accept what is and allow ourselves to be successful. Only then can we triumphantly pursue our ambitions. And as long as we remain committed to our dreams and continue with our lifelong journey, an ongoing work in progress, success with all endeavors is likely. By keeping the promises that you have made to yourself and by fully achieving your daily objectives, favorable outcomes become regular events.

“Winners never quit, and quitters never win.”
-Vince Lombardi

Each memory that you have is not only held and stored inside of your subconscious mind, every event of your lifetime is also accessible with Advanced Clinical Hypnotherapy. By utilizing the specialized hypnotic procedures that you can learn, you will be able to attain your personal best and develop and pursue higher standards than you ever thought before possible. In fact, as you aim for steady incremental improvement, each step of the way will get easier and easier for you to take. Each success that is accomplished builds upon every prior success that is realized.

With Hypnotherapy you are able to look deeply inside of yourself and activate your passions. By harnessing an action plan to your heartfelt dreams, you can go beyond the limitations of willpower and have your wishes come true. Realize the meaningful causes associated to your aspirations and choose to manifest your deepest desires, youthful yearnings and innermost urges. Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!

Do you often have the same dreams and end up awakening at the same point?
Have you experienced déjà vu, a feeling that you could see events before they happened?
Does a particular period in history fascinate you beyond any logical explanation?
Have you ever wondered why some people capture your attention while others do not?
Is it destiny, fate or by chance free will that you have lessons to learn in this life?
Do you sometimes wonder why things in this life happen as they do?

How is Past Life Regression different from Age Regression?
With Hypnosis it is possible to open the window to ones subconscious mind and access the place where deep-seated memories are stored. By using age regression techniques, Clients are able to go back through the years and re-experience earlier events that took place in their childhood. With Past Life Regression, the Hypnotherapist can continue to deepen the awareness of his Client’s subconscious realm, and revivify other aspects of her existence, in a manner similar to age regression, both by returning the Client to a “former state” in a prior existence and by helping her retrieve as many perceptions as possible of that particular lifetime. The gradual unfolding of images can appear like a movie, at first somewhat indistinct and dim, and then grow richer and brighter in clarity until everything that is viewed is more fluent and clear.

What are the Benefits of a having a Past Life Regression?
As individuals become lucidly aware of traumatic past life experiences they often achieve rapid recoveries from their health disorders and report dramatic healing results. A large number of severe health problems, both physical and mental, have virtually disappeared because the actual cause of the Past Life Regression Client’s ailments has been revealed to them. It must be noted, however, that although thousands of case studies have been published where patients recovered from serious illnesses after Past Life Regression work, there still exists no “objective” proof that these hypnotically induced individuals have in fact experienced a previous incarnation. In fact Past Life Regression is still classified as a “subjective” science by the medical establishment.

“I know nothing.”
Sergeant Schultz in Hogan’s Heroes television series 1965-1971

So how do I know if what I accessed from my Past Life Regression is true?
The only standard, that you can reliably use to judge whether or not something is true, boils down to whether or not a particular method, procedure or technique works for you. All knowledge is behind us, i.e. it is observed as a past event and recorded in our subconscious minds. We can only “humanly” know that which has already occurred since our knowing relies upon past personal experiences and the wisdoms that we attach to them. Therefore our ego based knowing is always subjective! And although what we think or feel that we know may or may not be absolutely true, we can test and find out what works for us. So to this extent, what matters most is our own personal truth, regardless of what others may tell us, for we are here to live our own lives.

Is ones personal truth different than knowing the whole truth?
Professionals have written that we are beings internally guided by a higher Self. This spiritual Self transcends lifetimes and continually exerts an influence upon our ego driven thoughts, feelings and behaviors. This is our intuitive connection to “absolute truth”. Furthermore, we are told that this prompting spiritual Self has a greater awareness of reality and knows the grand purpose behind our existence here on Earth. So how can we verify whether or not this is true?

On three-dimensional Earth, all knowing is acquired wisdom from experiential testing. Until we actually touch the fire we cannot truly know its intensity, the penetrating heat of its flame. We can be forewarned of its brutal effects however until the child gets a taste of that burning sensation penetrating through his fingertips his curiosity will lead him towards that ever dancing crimson glow. We cannot know what will happen to us until after the act, i.e. when the experience that is observed by us gets linked to our wisdom, it becomes our fact. This is “relative” truth.

We are limited by “inside the box” thinking. It serves only three dimensions: left to right, front to back, and top to bottom. This is cubic space, our confined frontier. Only when we are willing to venture beyond this defined reality can we go to that magical place where everything is true and miracles are possible. This is “outside of the box” awareness. This is the home of “absolute” truth where all seemingly surreal magic happens.

Now what happens during a Past Life Regression?
Those who have experienced Past Life Regression report that they re-encounter prior lives and are also able to re-experience each relative time of death. After reviewing their immediate past life memories they enter into temples of wisdom to prepare for their next reincarnation, spend time with their spirit guides and decide upon the parameters for their next birth. It is said that the spirit Self requires the repeated experiences here on Earth in order to grow, evolve and prepare for its completion of Self and ultimate ascension. Furthermore, I have heard that there is a long line of souls suspended in this spiritual realm waiting indefinitely for their opportunity to return to Earth in order to complete their ascension journey. Perhaps this is why our current world population appears to be bursting at the seams.

The Purpose of Life, Death and Beyond

The transformation cycle of birth, death and re-birth is known as a karmic wheel. Death is simply the extended portal that separates one incarnation from the next. In actuality, death is another indeterminate state of existence that is sometimes referred to as “the life in between lives”. The spirit Self purportedly plans out its next sojourn from this realm in order to return to planet Earth where it will be given the opportunity to fulfill its karmic requirements so it can ultimately ascend.

So how accurate is a Past Life Regression then?
Past Life Regression, although controversial in nature, effectively deals with the urgency of clearing unresolved traumatic experiences in many people’s lives, and there are several ways it can be determined whether or not a past life memory is an accurate recollection of ones past. One significant indicator is found by measuring how powerful the emotional feelings are that are summoned during a Past Life Regression. While lacking in scientific merit, this evidence does establish the validity of one having an impacted past life memory. Another aspect involves the inexplicable creative abilities of a child prodigy, who produces outstanding and remarkable works of: music, art or science with neither any adequate experiential background nor sufficient years of preparation or study. A third method that supports this assertion deals with analyzing the past life experiences themselves and reviewing the details of what is reported. Does everything match up to our conventional wisdom and understanding of the past? Although historical proof may be elusive, specific clues can lead us towards believing in the reality of these reported prior lifetimes. Parallels to the way people dressed, what dialects or languages were spoken and which construction techniques and technologies in the time period reviewed can be examined and verified.

If Past Life Regression is possibly a myth, then why explore it?

A simple answer to this inquiry is this. Even if Past Life Regression could be proven to be a falsehood, the results obtained from countless reports nonetheless indicate that the powerful placebo effects of these metaphorical experiences still yield miraculous breakthroughs in self-healing. All that matters is ones personal belief system! Whatever the mind conceives and the heart believes, the body achieves.

Realize the Purpose of Your Life
Most people are vaguely aware that they have some special purpose for being here on this planet. Many of us, if not all of us, are here to resolve our Karmic Debt, conclude with our unfinished business and complete the utmost important circle of loving kindness. This is the seemingly never-ending circle of life: the wheels of self-forgiveness, self-acceptance and self-healing; sharing with others these three wisdoms; and continually enjoying the process until it is thoroughly integrated within us as “Christ Consciousness”. In essence we become our own personal messiahs and are literally responsible for our own salvation. As my father would so aptly say: “God helps those who help themselves.” Denial with a smile will lead us nowhere.

Utilizing Past Life Regression and Metaphysical Hypnotherapy, we can find out the reasons why things in our lives are happening to us the way that they do, and we can finally begin to comprehend them. Simply said, our life lessons will continue until they are learned, so we might as well use Past Life Regression as an effective tool to assist us in our awakening. It is the best-known way for attaining a deep understanding of whom we are and our true purpose for being here in the present day physical realm. Maximize this lifetime and unveil your mask. Learn Hypnosis, you can do this!

Do You Fear Speaking in Public? by Dr. Regal

2009-06-16T13:49:00.000-07:00

Your responsibility is to convey content to your audience. Your task is to share all of the critical information of your presentation in such a way that everyone can understand it. The assembled listeners are there to learn what you have to teach them. You are prepared to tell the members of this group something that they need to know, but you are choking up inside. Your have the fear of Public Speaking.

Did it take you hours to prepare before this group talk?
Are you now worrying about doing something wrong or sounding foolish?
Are you afraid that people will laugh over what you are about to say?

Feeling anxious on or even before the actual day of a business presentation or speaking engagement can be very debilitating. People fear Public Speaking more than anything else. Moreover, those who suffer from this phobia are characteristically too embarrassed and reluctant to admit that they honestly have objections to addressing an audience. Yet, because their industry or profession places such a high value on their presentation skills, they do their best not to rock the proverbial boat. Instead, they grin and bear it, while struggling to hide their innermost concerns, worries and doubts.

Fear of Public Speaking Symptoms
Are these conditions familiar to you?

-Queasiness
-Freezing up or forgetfulness
-Accelerating anxiety
-Mental confusion

Why do these symptoms keep recurring?
Once an emotional pattern develops inside the brain it is challenging to unlearn it. Repetitive grooving creates automated responses that are linked to the fight or flight response. Your survival mechanism will generate a rush of adrenaline each time that you make a presentation. And since that surge consistently feels like you are under attack by a wild animal, you keep feeling overwhelmed by fear instead of appropriate levels of excitement that are necessary for optimal speaking performance.

So how can I prevent them from reoccurring?
Realize that Public Speaking is not about your personality. It is not about the self. Public speaking has more to do with the perceptions you have of yourself, and Hypnosis can be used to address these concerns.

You Cannot Stop Grinding Your Teeth? by Dr. Regal

2009-06-15T15:23:00.000-07:00

Do you habitually grind, gnash or clench your teeth? If so, you have a physical condition that is clinically identified as Bruxism. This habit, if frequent and long-lived, can lead to a host of problems like: violent headaches, jaw disorders and seriously damaged teeth.

These are the symptoms to be aware of:

Worn down, flattened, chipped or fractured teeth
Increased sensitivity in gums
Pain or tightness in jaw
Facial pain or migraine headaches
Chewed tissue on inside of cheek
Tongue indentations

Possible physical cues or emotional causes include:

Anxiety, Tension or Stress
Suppressed Anger or Frustration
Hyperactive, Aggressive or Competitive Nature
Poor Alignment of Upper to Lower Teeth
Disturbed Sleep and Irregular Sleeping Cycles
Responses to Pain from Earaches or Teething (Young Children)
Growth and Development of Jaw and Teeth (Young Children)
Side Effects from Prescribed Medications, e.g. Antidepressants

Most individuals who are affected by Bruxism are not consciously aware of their condition, and in many cases, a sleeping partner or parent will notice the Bruxism before the person experiencing the problem becomes aware of it. If this affliction is left untreated, you can develop more severe symptoms of extreme jaw pain and intense headaches. And over time, dental remedies will be needed because of your tooth loss and gum recession.

Possibly you have already noticed that your jaw is tense during the daytime and realize that you are rigorously grinding and clenching down on your teeth at night. So how can you put an end to this malefic tendency if you are asleep at the same time you are doing it?

If you are like most victims of Bruxism, then tension is the most common reason for your teeth grinding. And for this specific cause, Hypnosis can oftentimes assist in eliminating this particular harmful habit. Because of the deep relaxation that one typically experiences with Hypnosis, anyone who is inflicted with Bruxism can most likely be relieved from it. In fact, the use of Hypnotism can be used to counter most, if not all, of ones unresolved emotional effects of anxiety and stress.

How can Hypnosis help me stop my teeth grinding?
Teeth grinding occurs because your jaw muscles are repeatedly tensing up. This habit is ingrained and stored deep within your subconscious mind. Because Hypnosis works in this milieu, your Hypnotherapist can help you with Hypnosis to re-educate your brain and to relax your main jaw muscle. This will have the effect of giving you a loosened jaw that is free from restraint during the day and at night. Look forward to sleeping comfortably and relaxed. Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!

Stop Smoking Cigarettes For Good by Doctor Regal

2009-06-14T10:04:00.000-07:00

Have you ever tried to quit smoking and discovered that you cannot? Do you know what is preventing you from succeeding? Are you ready to go beyond your concerns, worries and doubts?

It is time to say goodbye to that double-faced friend forever. You no longer need that crutch for your pleasure. You can enjoy your life and manage very well without him. He is causing you more grief and misery than it is worth. Free your life from the awful trauma that he created. Forgive yourself for those insidious cravings that no longer have to be. Realize that you can finally triumph over this vice grip.

Stop smoking indefinitely. Breathe fully, deeply and easily again. Look younger. Feel healthier. Be happier.

Hypnosis is the quickest, safest and most efficient method for kicking the habit of smoking. Unlike other less successful methods, Hypnosis works because powerful suggestions are delivered directly into your subconscious mind and your desire to smoke is completely eliminated.

Understand however that you can totally quit smoking only when you are fully prepared to commit to that decision. Otherwise, you are not really ready to stop. Giving up this addiction is more than a simple wish, and it is so. You must be more than casually motivated to successfully terminate this habit. And yes, this is good news!

If you did not already know this, “All Hypnosis is Self Hypnosis.” You are responsible for the changes you create in your life. And this is now readily possible by learning Hypnosis.

Our success rate with Hypnotism is exceptional. This is true because Hypnosis always works with willing Clients. We will only assist you when you are ready to say no to another puff, because once you commit to this life-changing event, it is a done deal. There is no turning back!

The keyword is “willing”. You must be willing to do this powerful process. This is a 100% total commitment. If you feel like you should stop smoking, or you would quit if you could but do not really want to, that really means you do not want to let go of this habit just yet. And that is okay, because you may not be ready, willing and able to completely relinquish smoking.

Note: If you need more compelling reasons why you should stop smoking, then your concerns are beyond the purpose and intent of this article and the scope of Traditional Hypnotherapy.

Reduce PMS Symptoms with the Power of Hypnosis by Doctor Regal

2009-06-07T23:48:00.001-07:00

Do Premenstrual Syndrome symptoms make your life very unpleasant? Do you feel literally “out of control” for up to 14 days prior to menstruation?

Over 5 million of an estimated 40 million women require medical treatment for clearly visible mood and behavioral changes.

Are you affected by emotional discomforts like irritability, low self-esteem, depression, dysphoria (the opposite of euphoria) and/or anxiety? Do you experience physical symptoms of pain, tension, insomnia, bloating, abdominal cramping, skin disorders and/or fatigue?

Over 150 symptoms have been identified ranging from tender breasts to extreme anger and nausea.

It is commonly believed that PMS, migraine and depression stem from changes within the brain yet no known cure for PMS exists. Exactly why PMS headaches and depression occur has been an elusive mystery. The intensity of symptoms varies widely from severe to mild in most females to none in others. Many women feel that PMS alters their entire personality while it can incapacitate some completely

Many treatments have been suggested for treating PMS. Healthy eating,regular exercise and plenty of rest will usually help reduce the unpleasant symptoms. In addition, great evidence supports how PMS symptoms can be significantly alleviated by relaxation and hypnotic suggestion.

Research studies have shown that women with severe PMS symptoms who received regular hypnotic relaxation training experienced a substantial improvement in their physical and mental symptoms over women who did not have the Hypnosis training.

PMS is worsened by life stress and PMS adds additional stress to the body. This vicious cycle needs to stop in order to feel better. And you can experience soothing physical changes with deep relaxing Hypnosis!

As your body relaxes deeply, it produces endorphins. These natural opiates reduce pain and provide feelings of comfort. Whenever your endorphin levels are low, however the likelihood of experiencing PMS symptoms rises. So you can either grin and bear your monthly symptoms of PMS or achieve a healthier state of equilibrium with Hypnosis.

Imagine forgetting about those painful monthly intervals and looking forward to feeling comfortable and well all month long. It is time to feel fantastic. Learn Hypnosis. You can do this!

All Healing is Self Healing by Doctor Regal

2009-06-05T07:26:00.001-07:00

Strange as it may seem no one can truly heal another person, because the healing process is a journey of “self” returning to Self. The latter word Self is purposely capitalized here because we are referring to our ego “self’s” individual connectedness to a higher Eternal Intelligence. This grander spiritual Self is of Source, both All That Is, which is accepted on faith, and All That Is Not, which is considered its bipolar opposite, a negation that simply infers plain denial.

All healing is based upon ones awareness and acceptance that each of us have been wounded by a false sense of separation, have been led to follow a desire to heal our illusionary wounds and then ultimately accept the responsibility to assist others in healing their own ego’s self inflicted wounds to truly self actualize. This is the play called “Life”. We are here to live, to learn and to love, however we must remember that we are in a labyrinth and have to find our own way through it.

Our lifetime is spent taking a journey, or we could say that we’re experiencing a sojourn, if you accept the possibility that we live many lifetimes. Either way, we are creating an opportunity for our lower self to reunite with our higher Self. The primary caveat is when we make it all about me, my, mine, myself and I. There are big lessons to learn beyond oneself, yet it is best to begin in a place where we have the most familiarity.

First and foremost, we function on a need to know basis and in every moment have the option to be who we are. Choosing wisely, we are healthy beings, seeking pleasure and avoiding painful experiences. All discomfort is disease and disdainful to ourselves. As we learn to heal ourselves we can effectively assist others.

For purposes of this discussion when we refer to healing we are speaking of more than the alleviation of an individual’s physical body from any symptomatic disease, wound or injury. In addition, ones emotional distress, trauma, and anguish must be addressed as well as any intellectual impediment and/or spiritual interference that may hinder ones harmony with nature. Healing therefore requires dealing with four components of a human being: Physical, Emotional, Intellectual and Spiritual.

Remedying apparent outer symptoms is not the only aspect of healing that requires consideration. This is just the proverbial tip of the iceberg, the portion that is exposed and most commonly referred to by many who practice traditional western medicine. In fact, the application of a topical ointment and external bandage to a wound is not indeed an act of healing; it’s merely a dressing.

"...You have free will and can influence your path of destiny.
Fate is the only inherited circumstance, however it is up to you to take charge of your own healing."

All healing of the wound itself happens from the inside, and then it gradually progresses outward. The kabalistic phrase, “as above so below” more profoundly stated reveals the truth of healing which is “from inside, out.”

Those who seek only symptomatic relief are only fooling themselves. You cannot totally heal without getting to the source of your disease. You must identify the cause (the origin of your pain and discomfort) to achieve a healthy state, or you will only temporarily feel better before regressing back into a noticeable unhealthy frame. This happens because negative forcing functions are present, and until they are handled, these detrimental entities will continually interfere with your life force energy by wreaking havoc in your physical body again and again.

Your personal efforts do make a difference. You have free will and can influence your path of destiny. Fate is the only inherited circumstance, however it is up to you to take charge of your own healing.

Permissiveness to heal oneself is mandatory before working with another. All assistance with ones self-healing requires a consensual agreement between the facilitator and the recipient. If you choose to be guided or taught by a health professional, what matters most is having a comfortable connection with him or her. A qualified facilitator understands how to help you heal yourself and can guide you through the healing process as well as show you how to efficiently terminate negative forcing functions that are plaguing you.
