Hypnosis is an ideal way for you to enhance your personal development. Whether you want to improve your personal performance in a specific field, or feel better able to handle challenging circumstances (or people), or want to foster particular desirable qualities in yourself, going into a deep trance state and using the power of hypnotic suggestion can make a huge difference.

For example, when you want to get into a specific confident and positive emotional state so that you can successfully deal with an upcoming situation that you perhaps dread, you can quickly learn how to hypnotically 'switch on' the state you want. And you can then reliably attach that feeling to the situation, so that in future you 'automatically' go into the frame of mind that you want for those situations. — read more

It's good to know that you can easily overcome fears and phobias with hypnosis, because such anxieties are extremely common. More than 10% of people will experience a simple phobia at some time in their lives. From elevators, spiders and birds, to heights, dentists and open spaces, there is nothing we can't develop anxiety or phobias about.

But you're not doomed to be stuck with them forever.

Happily, hypnosis provides an extremely effective cure for these problems as it provides the opposite of anxiety - deep relaxation. At the same time, it teaches the mind a different way of responding to the feared object or situation. Hypnosis for phobias works by detaching the stimulus (trigger object) from the emotional response (fear) and 'updating' the brain with a new, more realistic response. — read more

The trouble is, when you spend too much time thinking too closely about everything that could go wrong, the famous mind-body connection goes into overdrive. Your worrying thoughts can trigger the actual physical emotions that would accompany those unfortunate events. Your heart rate rises, adrenaline floods into your bloodstream, and your body gets ready to face what it believes is a real and present danger.

When really it's all in your imagination.

Now obviously, it doesn't make sense to say you should just stop preparing for future events, and planning for negative eventualities, altogether. That would be likely to bring you some perfectly real (as opposed to imaginary!) difficulties. — read more
