- Diabetes - Treating a Worldwide Pandemic with Hypnosis Therapy
[Health-and-Fitness:Diabetes] The incidence of diabetes, once a rare and obscure disease, has skyrocketed in the last twenty years and now afflicts tens of millions of Americans. While at one time experts attributed this increase to the increasing age of the American population, doctors are discovering that the disease is afflicting more and more children and young adults. And it is increasing exponentially in the rest of the world as it continues to emulate the lifestyle of the US. Diagnoses of diabetes are expanding worldwide at the phenomenal rate of a 50% increase every decade. Ironically, most physicians today already have a very good idea of those elements of the American lifestyle which create this epidemic. In a nutshell: refined sugars and carbohydrates and a sedentary lifestyle have been scientifically linked to this disease for years. In this article I will point out how these two factors lead to the disease.

- Ideal Relationship Partner Guide: Your Vision of Love
[Relationships] In their search for a loving family, most single people trust their instincts.

- Love or Hypnosis? Relationship Partner Choice Errors
[Relationships] The biggest error in partner choice is made by those who choose based only on the hypnotic beauty of a pretty face without regard to compatibility or shared interests.

- Weight Loss - Your Stomach Is the Key to Portion Size
[Health-and-Fitness:Weight-Loss] We've been trained to eat until we're full and that is wrong. If we eat only one meal a
day in which we wait until we're full to stop eating, obesity is the inevitable result.
Learning to eat properly sized portions will bring weight loss within reach and
doesn't require that we purchase pre-measured meals from diet centers.
- Hypnotherapy Returns Us to Our Mother as an Infant: Hypnosis Heals Allergies

- Emotional Clearing with Hypnotherapy
[Health-and-Fitness:Self-Hypnosis] Hypnosis offers immediate relief of lifelong sypmtoms of agoraphobia based in early childhood trauma. Hypnotherapists often see remissions in patterns of behavior caused by single episodes of frightening experiences by allowing their client to "re-write" the traumatic event to include a rescuer and offer an effective resolution to emotional events of formative years.
- Hypnosis Alternative to Emotional Clearing of Childhood Trauma
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] There are at least three distinct schools in the field of
emotional clearing work taught in hypnotherapy schools in
California. The first of these, developed by Milton Erickson, involves
the use of hypnotic suggestion in which the hypnotist feeds
"new" childhood experiences or ideas directly into the
client's subconscious mind.
A second more interactive strategy ("interactive" means that
the client and therapist work together in the process of
healing) involves the client setting up a new ending for the
injured child's experience.
- Hypnosis to Stop The Overweight From Stuffing Feelings by Stuffing Food
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Many of us were raised in families where the expression of
feelings was discouraged or even punished. Such phrases as
“Shut up or I’ll give you something to cry about!” or
“Children should be seen and not heard” represent extreme but
regrettably common examples. More frequently however we find
the parent who is simply too busy and stressed to listen to
their children’s feelings and needs. Sometimes children
discover on their own that eating some food can help them
suppress their anger and tears.
- Hypnosis for Permanent Weight Loss for the 65% of Americans Who Are Overweight
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Over 65% of Americans are overweight. According to
researchers, Americans are getting fatter at the rate of ten
pounds per decade despite a weight loss industry that is
costing billions every year. As a hypnotherapist and
hypnosis trainer for twenty-five years, I’ve dedicated myself
to finding a solution.

metabolic programming. It is possible to overcome this problem with hypnotherapy.
- Dieting Stifles Creativity - Hypnosis to End Self Expression Through Eating
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Children, we notice, are constantly involved, if given the
opportunity, in creative play. We adults, however, have
frequently learned to suppress our creative instincts, and
all too often, to substitute eating for creativity.
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Clearing Past Life Contracts
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] According to many PLR researchers, most of us maintain
relationships across a number of sequential lives. Some even
claim that souls travel in family groups in which ones father
in one life may be a son or daughter in another.
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Karma from Past Lives
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] For centuries the advanced religions of the east and the
writings and teachings of innumerable spiritual masters have
taught that the patterns of suffering or fortune we experience
are the direct result of the "karma" (good or evil deeds) we
have accumulated in past lives.
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: How to Contact Past Life Creative Abilities
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] It's possible that what we call 'innate talents' such as those
exhibited by great composers and artists is a result of
subconscious memories of abilities developed in former lives.
Wouldn't you like to know what abilities may lie untapped in
your subconscious mind?
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Clearing Past Lives Trauma
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] One of the best known forms of Past Life Regression is working with traumatic
memories from past lives. We use this method for discovering
the source in the subconscious mind of an emotional or
physical problem.
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Clearing Preconception Contracts
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Many clients come to my office wanting to know why certain
patterns of suffering seem to persist in their lives despite
their best efforts to be different. These could include
chronic illness, relationship problems, continuing financial
struggles, and many other painful personal challenges that
just don't go away.
- Past Life Regression in Hypnosis: Is It Real? Does It Work?
[Self-Improvement:NLP-Hypnosis] Past Life Regression, also known as PLR, is a controversial method of hypnotherapy
practiced by spiritually oriented hypnotherapists. Many focus too much attention on
the legitimacy of past lives rather than the more important question of, "Does it
make the therapy client feel better and resolve their issues?" That is the more
important question to therapists using hypnosis to treat phobias and solve
problems for clients.
