Now, I am finding that my new pillow keeps me asleep. My previous pillows were flat – so I was using 2 pillows to get half-way comfortable. The two flat pillows, though, just did not provide the nice insertion area for my head. Now, with my pillow, I use one pillow – it is comfortable, adjustable, with just the right amount of firmness. And, even more importantly during these hot days – it is cool.

So – my advice: try hypnosis downloads and my pillow.

“If you’re like me you don’t know that much about hypnosis from online hypnosis websites and hypnotists.  Then join me in a journey to explore this fascinating topic.  To start, in the video below, Mark Tyrrell, co-founder of the online Hypnosis Downloads.com and Creative Director of Uncommon Knowledge, explains hypnosis from his perspective.

He describes hypnosis as the optimum learning tool, as it changes your insticts.  We all have seen those people who simply don’t want to overeat;  who walk up and give a speech without breaking out in hives; who just don’t want a cigarette; who easily deal with people with confidence.  They are not trying hard to do these things – it just happens.  To become the same, we need to change our instints, our gut feelings.  It seems to me that online hypnosis cd’s, mp3’s, tapes and dvd’s can be a great help in this.

Thoughts on being on a diet and hypnosis:

When you are on a diet – you need all of the help you can get!  Daily, we get bombarded with thousands of ad messages – a high percentage telling us to eat this ice cream, those chips, that fast food, and junk food in general.  Also, we are told over and over that we are one of two-thirds of Americans who are obese (with the implication that we always will be obese).  Circumventing negative input like this is tough!

We can possibly pump ourselves up and lose weight – for a while.  But, where do we get continuous positive messages about weight loss – messages that go even deeper in our subconscious than the advertisements?

According to this study, using hypnosis for dieting is a very effective way to counter these negative messages.  If you are now in the position of really wanting to lose weight – for good – it might be time to review what a weight loss CD, download, tape or DVD could do for you.  Simply search for “weight” in the search box in the right column (or any other issue that gets in your way of a good diet).  Or, try one of the following – they have a 100% money-back guarantee:

• Diet Hypnosis Pack:  Eleven diet hypnosis downloads for becoming a thin person and stopping those eating patterns that are destructive to your diet, such as emotional eating, snacking, boredom eating, and a continual need for comfort food.
• Individual Diet Hypnosis Downloads:  choose your diet need.  Do you need diet motivation; a change to your “fat person” mentality; or a change in those ingrained habits, such as TV eating, emotional eating, eating sweets, or fast food eating.  Browse through this section and select those diet hypnosis downloads that best suit you.  For less than the cost of a couple fast-food stops, you could completely stop your bad diet habits and thinking.

I found this article interesting because, more often than not, when you hear the medical institutions talk about remedies, you hear about pills.  So I was enthused to see the Mayo Clinic actually give a nod towards weight loss with hypnosis.  We need all the help we can get when we are on a diet – a stream of “you-can-do-it” to counter the stream of junk food advertising combined with your mental “can’t do” stream of thought.  A good therapist will cost over $100/hour.  However, you can find a  weight loss hypnosis cd or download of your choice for much less than that.  And, the article was quite right about ensuring that trained, reputable therapists are behind the hypnosis – see this information about hypnosis ethics.

Weight Hypnosis CD The Weight Hypnosis CD contains 4 specially selected hypnosis sessions.

What healthy actions would you like to see in a weight loss cd or download?  Perhaps decreasing your desire for junk food and wanting healthy foods instead, or boosting your weight loss motivation - or what about  over-coming your lack of motivation for exercise or just getting some energy to overcome that drained feeling you often feel when trying to lose weight.  A focus, relaxed mind can program your unconsciecous mind to be your friend, helping you pinpoint your personal weight loss sabotagers – and providing a path towards improved behaviors instead.

So, I found this article on self-confidence and hypnosis, Confidence Tricks, very enlightening.   It describes a woman’s personal journey through a series of workshops geared towards increasing self confidence by hypnosis.  

The first workshop was particularly interesting. She reviews working on her issue of phone call procrastination (and haven’t we all experienced this?).  She describes being hypnotized  in front of a group of 25  people to work on this issue.  She didn’t know if it was effective or not.  But, a month later, she realized that she was picking up the phone to make those calls, and that  all the reasons that usually flooded into her head were simply gone.   Furthermore, she only had to recall the phrase “clarity and lightness” to feel calmed.  The self confidence hypnosis seminar  turned her into a self-hypnosis convert.

We could all benefit from personal training like this.  This self hypnosis workshop was organized by Mark Tyrrell,  the co-founder of the self-hypnosis download center, HypnosisDownloads.com and was held in England several years ago.  You are in luck, though.  You don’t need to fly to England,  hoping there are more (rather pricey) workshops.  With one click of the button, you could have similar experiences for less than the price of 2 or 3 lattes (and save your money for a real vacation to Europe).  See: How to Build Self Confidence by Hypnosis for more information.

You could try to quit smoking through hypnosis.  But, after all you have been through – you are skeptical. You at least need proof before you put your time – and money – into yet another approach. I too needed the power of scientific investigation. So, I was very interested in the results reported in ScienceDaily.com* from a scientific research about how you can quit smoking by hypnosis – Hypnotherapy as an Aid to Smoking Cessation of Hospitalized Patients.

It is a well known fact that smoking causes a a large number of heart and lung-related hospital admissions. In their attempt to reduce smoking and therefore, hospital admissions, a group at North Shore Medical Center in Salem, MA. did a study comparing the effects of trying to:

• quit smoking by hypnosis
• quick smoking by nicotine replacement therapy

The results of the study pointed to the fact that trying to quit smoking by hypnosis was indeed more effective than the nicotine replacement therapy – and far more effective than doing nothing.

So – what are you waiting for – you deserve good health.  If you smoke a pack a day, you can get a whole hypnosis program for less than the cost of three weeks of smoking see -  quit smoking by hypnosis with Quit Smoking – Stay Stopped.
