               Crave for Chocolate? 

 

Hypnosis to Help with Chocolate CravingsTo crave means to have an intense desire for something and in the case of chocolate it means a strong liking or obsession for it, and in excessive amounts. The interesting question to ask is why people crave for chocolate? Chocolate works like a drug in the body that is why like medicine, chocolate can also be very addictive. For this reason also, craving for chocolate is associated with problems in weight gain.

Chocolate being able to evoke similar drug related pharmacologic effects and behaviour patterns has a high potential to be very addictive.  To add to these characteristics that make people crave for chocolate are the hedonic pleasures it gives from its sweet taste, smooth texture and inviting aroma. The pleasure that it gives makes it the primary factor why people crave for chocolate and in some instances become addictive.
In addition to the hedonic pleasures that chocolate gives it is also closely associated with positive behaviour, mood and emotion changes. These behavioural changes are an effect of chocolate’s components such as biogenic amines, cannabinoids and methylxanthines that give the brain the boost it needs to create the positive feeling and emotion.
These brain effects come from the stimulation of dopamine and serotonin as an effect of chocolate consumption. Dopamine and serotonin are considered as “happy hormones.” These hormones tend to fluctuate especially among women as an effect of the hormonal changes associated with the menstrual cycle. This explains why during the pre-menstrual period women crave for chocolate to counter the mild depression syndrome effects of the hormonal changes.
People who crave for chocolate find this boost an extra source and means of relaxation or positive sensory stimulation. These psychopharmacologic effects are real that is why chocolate craving can potentially result to chocolate addiction and weight gain problems.
Since, chocolate craving has the potential to cause more serious health problems such as high cholesterol levels, high blood pressure, excessive weight gain and serious behaviour conditions such as obsessive chocolate craving or chocolate addiction, hypnotherapists suggest early detection and treatment.
Hypnotherapists can help the chocolate craving and it can be controlled through hypnosis. Hypnosis for weight loss is the method of altering the state of consciousness to positively re-channel the pleasure centres to more acceptable and positive means such as exercise and other relaxation techniques. Hypnotherapy works by allowing the individual to consciously decide to control the chocolate craving.
A hypnotherapist conducts hypnotherapy as a series of treatment sessions until the desired outcome is achieved. (Which for a Chocolate Craving is usually only one or two sessions) It is done through the process of hypnosis. Hypnosis for weight loss allows the hypnotherapist and the individual to access the subconscious pleasure centres of the latter. Then both the hypnotherapist and individual will work together to disassociate chocolate craving from feelings and emotions; hunger and appetite pleasure centres.
To disassociate means that an individual will gain conscious control of eating chocolate only in acceptable amounts. It will allow the individual to control the chocolate craving because the pleasure centres will be trained to focus on healthier and productive means of relaxation and satisfaction.

Chocolate has a long history of use and consumption and is in fact famous among royalties around the world from the early ancient times. It has been a popular drink as early as 460 AD and in the past, chocolate used to be a bitter drink that provides energy and vitality for those who consume it. Among the famous people who were known chocolate drinkers include Aztec Emperor Montezuma, Christopher Columbus and Swiss confectioner Rodolphe Lindt.

It was also used as a medicinal alternative to cure symptoms like weight loss, body weakness, stomach aches, anemia, fever, skin irritations, poor sexual appetite and many others.

Today, chocolate has evolved into a variety of uses and has caught the attention of researchers on its effect to the brain. Researchers have also tried to identify its close association with issues like weight gain, eating disorders and chocolate addiction.

Chocolate addiction presents itself in various ways according to studies. They can manifest as a result of mood and behavior conditions; it can also be a symptom of dieting and eating issues; or it can be associated with the pleasure centres of the brain that provides euphoric effects.

The specific effects of eating chocolate are associated with certain brain activities, which will explain why it becomes very addictive. A group of neuroscientists from the US and Canada performed a study using PET (positron emission tomography) scan to determine the activities and areas of the brain that are associated with chocolate addiction. The results showed that the pleasant sensation and sweet taste of chocolate were attributed to the increased blood flow to the orbital frontal and mid part of the brain.

These areas of the brain control thoughts, emotions and feelings, which are also seen to have been activated in people with addiction to cocaine. In addition, the frontal lobe of the brain contains the highest levels of Dopamine, which controls attention, reward and drive. The midbrain on the other hand, also produces certain levels of Dopamine that has an important role in motivation and habitation characteristics of humans.

This gives an interesting explanation to the effect of eating chocolate to the brain. Consumption of chocolate stimulates the frontal and mid lobes of the brain that then fuels the Dopamine rush, which creates the euphoric sensations that makes it addictive. The same study also showed that eating chocolate takes several levels of motivation. This is significant to consider because the effects of eating chocolate as a form of reward or as a form of pleasure satisfaction record different brain activities.

Another point to consider is the fact that chocolate like addictive drugs are considered “primary enforcers,” therefore, are both perceived as highly addictive. Chocolate addiction is further elicited by the smooth texture and sweet taste that makes it very pleasant and rewarding.

Since this is considered a behavior concern, one of the treatment methods to consider is hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy for chocolate addictions is conducted by a professional hypnotherapist to alter the state of consciousness that will focus the attention of the client to other relaxation and pleasure centres of the brain that will take the place of the sensations provided by eating chocolate. A hypnotherapist will conduct hypnosis and work with the client to consciously re-channel attention to other relaxation activities that will focus the same level of satisfaction that eating chocolate provides.

Calm Your Pets Stress Levels

by Cas Willow on [edit]

Calm Your Pooch and Reduce Your Own Stress Level

Stress is a way of life for some people either because of work responsibilities or business requirements. Family and social life often suffer because of work place stress that is why it is a must for everyone to have a means of relaxation or a way to reduce stress significantly. One way to do this is to own a pet! Some may not agree to this, but for people who are natural animal lovers, having a pet at home can effectively reduce stress levels.

There is, however, a cause for concern that is if the pet itself is the one stressed. Can it affect the owner as well? Chances are both the pet and the owner may mimic each other’s stress level. Therefore, it is also true that if a pet is calm and peaceful it can also keep the stress of the owner down to a low level.

An effective way to reduce stress level of pets is to let them listen to a hypnotherapy pet Cd that is designed to provide calmness through hypnosis. This is accomplished by letting the pet hear the beautiful soothing music that is uniquely chosen for animals. It also includes variation of voice works and different vibration streams to help the pet to calm down. It is recommended that the pet listens to the hypnotherapy Cd for three consecutive nights for the next three weeks.

There are many ways that a pet can help its owner in stress reduction activities.

Improves Mood

– Several studies support that pets have a mood-enhancing effect to its owners. These are associated with the mutual caring instinct of humans and animals, so every time those pair of cute little eyes or fury body touches an owner it stimulates positive emotions that lightens up the mood.

Encourages Exercise

– Pets need exercise like walking and running, so when a pet owner brings them for a walk the owner himself spends as much time for physical activity. This improves blood circulation, serves as a way of relaxation, promotes overall health and reduces stress.

Controls Blood Pressure

– Fluctuations in the blood pressure are usually associated with stress and tension especially at work. So when a pet owner reaches home the pet can sense this that is why it immediately cuddles up at its owner. This action from a pet has a calming effect that relaxes the muscles and reduces the tension, therefore stabilizes the blood pressure.

Prevents Depression Syndrome

– Pets especially dogs are considered loyal to their owner, which is a good source of acceptance and love. Pets can provide constant unconditional love and companionship that decreases the incidence of a pet owner in having depression syndromes. Pets are always there to provide a listening ear, physical assurance and genuine affection.

Enhances Social Relationships

– Pet owners who walk to the park can meet other people and share the same interests with them. Pets provide an easy way to initiate a conversation because an owner is assured that if another person also has a pet they already have something in common. Pets provide a lot of opportunities to meet new friends and acquaintances, therefore improving social relationships.

This numerous benefits of owning a pet is one good reason why a pet owner should keep in mind that a pet should not be stressed because it will also affect his own mood. One of the best ways to ensure that pets are not stressed is to have they listen to hypnotherapy Cds. In fact, both owner and pet can listen together and share the same relaxing and peaceful experience.

Hypnotherapy will help you Sleep

Sleep is a very important daily activity that allows the body to rest, to recharge, to repair and to heal. The acceptable time for all of these processes to take place each night is to have at least six to eight hours of sleep; if sleep is anything below that then the adult’s body is not made ready for the following day’s work.

The person who lacks sleep is described as a person who has less number of hours of continuous sleep or has problems staying asleep. This person becomes sluggish and unable to focus or concentrate the next day, and even worse is, the body becomes at risk of easily catching viruses such as cough, cold or flu. This is because a lack of sleep tremendously weakens the immune system.

There is a way to enhance sleep patterns without the use of medication or any aggressive therapeutic method; this is through hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is a way to alter the levels of consciousness of a client so that the subconscious mind can easily resurface and visit the sleep and dream level of the mind. This can be conducted by a hypnotherapist at their clinic or it can be performed through self-hypnosis using the Hypnotherapy SLEEP Cd every night.

The self-hypnosis technique will allow the client to easily be in a deep sleep within minutes of listening to the hypnotherapy Cd.  This hypnosis method works by sifting through the various levels of consciousness and skipping unnecessary thought processes to stimulate relaxation and then eventually fall into deep sleep.

Insomnia

Lack of sleep can be dangerous because the body works in a balance, and to create this balance a regular rest is necessary. The lack of rest may result to loss of body rhythm and functioning, especially the brain, which is the master clock of the body. This phenomenon has a scientific basis that shows the brain slowing down on its synaptic nerve impulses that result in poor cognitive functioning.

It is like a mobile phone battery that loses its power and energy that is why it needs to be recharged. The brain works that way, so to have a high level of brain functioning the body must recharge daily.

Lack of sleep is also associated with other symptoms such as increased stress levels and lack of coping abilities. It has also been associated with weight gain and social behaviour dysfunction according to research studies.

Hypnotherapy is an efficient way to address these problems of stress, weight gain and behaviour. The hypnotic approach may vary to adapt to the client’s symptoms and difficulties. Hypnosis can be performed as a way to stimulate relaxation; it can also be used to allow the client to work with the hypnotherapist in facing past issues that may be causing the stress and lack of sleep.

There are many benefits of hypnotherapy such as safe and natural means of getting sleep, enhanced brain and body function, improved immune system booster, and a means to delay ageing. Hypnotherapy works for sleep disorders while it also gives clients additional perks and benefits.

Hypnotherapist in Melbourne Explains How to Develop Self Esteem through Hypnosis

A lot of people who often say “I cannot do it,” “I am not good enough for him,” or “I do not think I can complete the task” are verbalizations from people with lack of self-esteem, self confidence or self-worth. It is often a result of inappropriate fear that takes its root from way back a person’s childhood.

Fear is a result of a series of events in childhood that account to teasing, calling names, yelling, rejection, lack of appreciation and many other negative experiences that have built up over time.  Hypnotherapy is a method used by hypnotherapists to work with a client in going back to the childhood events and allowing them to resurface, so the client can work at eliminating the negative thoughts it has accumulated in the subconscious mind. This process of hypnosis will allow the client to effectively let go of the things that are creating the negative thoughts that are manifesting as poor sense of self or self worth.

Besides fear, another factor that causes low self confidence is the sense of panic; this results from lack of belief in one’s ability to accomplish something. The most important role of hypnotherapy in improving self confidence is to relax the mind to make appropriate and correct decisions in life. This is because people who tend to be panicky become out of focus that make their judgments faulty. To prevent panic attacks a client undergoes hypnosis to practice relaxation of the mind.

Relaxation methods used are deep breathing exercises and saying positive reinforcements on a daily basis. Doing these techniques will calm the mind making it tranquil and composed to make the right decisions. Positive reinforcements on the other hand, are accomplished through positive thinking exercises like saying simple sentences like “I can do it!”

Other methods that can be used by a hypnotherapist to work with the client include creative visualization of positive thoughts and images of oneself, suggestion therapy and brain training games.

Hypnosis

Hypnosis works by building self worth in a client through assessment of strengths and talents that can be emphasized through positive thinking and suggestion therapy. Suggestion therapy can be done by working with a hypnotherapist or simply listen to hypnotherapy CD’s.

Positive reinforcement can be done by the client through rehearsing in one’s mind one’s strengths and talents and though constant repetition of the words “I can do it!” These activities and hypnotic exercises must be done daily because a lot of stress from the work place, school environment, family or social relationships can pull down a person’s self-esteem, so to prevent this from happening brain training exercises are necessary.

A lot of positive outcomes will come out of the hypnotherapy sessions and through internalization of the positive thoughts used in hypnosis. People react to hypnosis differently; some may have positive results immediately, but some clients may require more time before positive outcomes can be seen. The most important things to do include believing in oneself and the thought that hypnotherapy will work!

Hypnotherapy Can Help

by Cas Willow on [edit]

Finding Inner Peace

All human beings are created differently; as such talents, behaviours, emotions, dispositions are also different. If there is one thing common about all human beings is that desire to have that inner peace deep within.

Peace means the freedom to live in harmony with other people and to be free from slavery or oppression. Inner peace, on the other hand, means to enjoy quietness of mind where an individual sees oneself and the world around as a safe place to live in. Inner peace is not the absence of sorrow, pain or trials; what is significant is the peace that surrounds and comforts a human being in times of difficult challenges.

Inner peace however, is not something that comes out naturally; in fact it is something that must be worked on every day. Hypnotherapy is one effective way to seek for inner peace and to restore balance in life.

Some people may have some difficulty finding balance in life because they are not fully aware of their strengths and potentials. A hypnotherapist can work with them through the process called hypnosis.

Utilising the Power of Hypnosis

Through hypnosis a person will have an interesting journey towards self-discovery. A hypnotherapist will conduct hypnosis so an individual can have an altered state of mind to allow thoughts and emotions to resurface, so that individuals may fully understand the things that are holding them back to fully embrace their potentials. The search for inner peace may be a long process; it takes dedication and commitment to genuinely desire for peace.

People sometimes associate inner peace with spirituality or religion. And since there is no ultimate formula on finding real inner peace, if these methods are effective then it is acceptable for that individual. The most important thing to remember in the search for inner peace is to be open to change.

There are many other ways to help an individual to seek peace some do meditation, others use prayer and still for others perform physical exercises combined with mind-focusing and concentration activities. Whatever it is that is effective for an individual is acceptable as long as it generates a positive outcome, creates balance and invites inner peace.

Hypnotherapy has no limitations and can be used as an adjunct therapy for individuals who would like to discuss their concerns or perhaps just to have someone to listen and maybe to work with the hypnotherapist in finding inner peace.

Inner peace is not something impossible it only requires that a person be patiently committed to the task of searching for it. One does not have to seek anywhere else because true inner peace can only be found from within.

Smoking remains to be one of the hard habits to break for the modern individuals who are faced with everyday challenges and stress. Perhaps this is because smoking to some people is associated with stress relief, mood stimulant, diet suppressant or simply as a means of socialization. If a hypnotherapist is to look closely, it will be easy to spot that a high possibility is that these factors mentioned are mental, emotional and psychological in nature. Meaning people may be dependent on smoking because of emotional issues.


If these factors are to be considered, a hypnotherapist can effectively employ the method of hypnosis to work with the client in achieving smoking cessation efforts. Since smoking is an issue of dependence and a way to cope for some people, it needs to be approached not just for its physiologic outcomes, but more for its psychological implications. It is not new for hypnotherapists to hear people wanting to quit the habit, but remain trapped in it because of several failures with other quitting efforts in the past. 


For people who have tried so many smoking quitting methods from cold turkey, cut down, pharmacological methods, nicotine replacement, cigarette substitute like e-cigarette, herb substitutes and smokeless tobaccos and vaporizers. This may have all failed because the approach used is to address the symptoms and the effects of smoking. Hypnosis may be a better way to advance in the objective of smoking cessation and to address the psychological aspects of the habit, which is the primary factor responsible for keeping people hooked up with smoking. Hypnosis for smoking is so far the best method in addressing the psychological aspect of this issue of dependency.


Some of the popular psychological hypnotherapist approaches include: aversion therapy using mild  shock tactics, which may be rather too aggressive; acupuncture through stimulation of the pressure points, behavioral therapy and now, hypnosis for smoking.


Hypnotherapy has steadily earned its popularity in smoking cessation because of the positive outcomes from clients. But, how does it really work?


Hypnosis is the method used by a hypnotherapist to work with the subconscious mind of a client, one of which is through the Spiegel’s method. In this method the client will be asked to focus on three main concepts which are: 1) cigarette contains nicotine, which is poison to the body; 2) the body needs to be alive and 3) to be able to live, a person needs to respect and protect the body against any harm. Self hypnosis can be performed by an individual constantly throughout the day by reminding themselves of the three concepts. It is the objective of this method to motivate the client to refrain from smoking.


Another method is the cognitive-behavioural therapy (CBT) method, this uses a multi-modal approach in working with the client achieve smoking cessation. It uses a combination of cognitive behaviour therapy (CBT) and hypnotherapy. This theory believes that a combination therapy will be more effective in working with a complex issue as smoking. This is supported by a study conducted by Marks entitled “CBT methods can improve the results of any treatment programme.” (2005, 16).


Hypnosis for smoking can be employed using three methods: self-hypnosis, working with a hypnotherapist or a combination of both methods. And for hypnosis for smoking to be effective the following factors need to be considered: client’s readiness for the therapy, an understanding of the cessation process including its probable effects and the mental and overall health condition of the client. It is also important to note that whatever method a client chooses, it is important to seek for professional hypnotherapist services to guide the client throughout the entire hypnosis for smoking therapy.

Sleep disorders fall into different types like: difficulty falling asleep, problems with staying asleep or easily wakes up, inappropriate sleeping hours, sleeping hours too long or too short and abnormal behaviors manifested while asleep like teeth grinding or sleep walking. If you have experienced any of these and are wondering what causes them.

 

Problems with sleep have several causes like: physical illness, depression, stress, too much caffeine, alcohol or substance abuse, drugs, smoking, altered sleeping pattern due to daytime napping or too early bedtimes and physical pain or discomfort . There are also factors that are work related like shift schedules or travelling to different time zones. And still others are associated with behavioral conditions such as sleep terrors and nightmares caused by trauma.

 

Whatever the cause of the sleep disorder is, there is a non-intrusive way to manage sleep problems by working through with a hypnotherapist. This is very helpful especially sleep problems caused by cognitive behavioural factors such as caffeine dependence, altered sleep pattern and stress. This method is done by a registered hypnotherapist who works through with the client through hypnosis. Hypnosis for sleep disorders is conducted to alter the state of consciousness of the client to lead them to identify the cause of their problem; then let them work through these by consciously choosing a change of thinking and behaviour towards sleep pattern, caffeine and other substance avoidance and identify relaxation methods to promote sleep.

 

The objective of therapy under hypnosis is to work through with the client in altering the factors that can be modified to create a long term change in the sleeping habits. If hypnotherapy is conducted on a regular basis and until the expected outcome of a normal sleep pattern is achieved, the effects can be lifetime. Hypnosis is done with the client in a proactive mode to address the deeper problems of sleep disturbance and not just a short term solution to the symptoms.

 

With an effective hypnotherapy session, there is no need for medication to promote sleep, and once problems are addressed more serious complications are also reversed. Other than hypnosis for sleep disorders there are also other activities that are developed after a visit with a hypnotherapist like: a quiet and restful environment, regular exercise, regular sleeping habits, avoidance of alcohol, caffeine and smoking and generally a positive view of things. These are all addressed by hypnotherapy, which is a holistic approach that views the client as a whole person who is capable to make personal decisions to make a positive change in their own health and lifestyle.

Hypnotic Gastric Banding TherapyJoin me on a discussion on weight loss using the powerful tool, hypnosis. Here we will discuss a little about the process that patients go through during the Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy treatment and process.

The number of overweight and obese people, particularly in Western countries is growing at an alarming rate, statistics in Australia from 2005 show that 67.4% of adults are overweight and the number is on the increase each year.

Despite the increased awareness of health and fitness in the community, there are still a lot of people who are unaware of the importance of staying fit and therefore many treat their body poorly and remain unhealthy as a result.

A growing number of people suffering from obesity often turn to the surgical gastric lap band procedure to help lose weight and of course in many cases this is often initially successful, however many, without the assistance of counsellor or similar therapist to address the underlying issues and get to the actual core problem, which is NEVER about the food, the majority of people will at some stage, gain all the weight they have battled and strived to lose, and not only that weight, but usually a considerable amount more.

Many people is this situation, who have tried all the pills and potions and all the fade diets, often feel that the only possible solution to their problem is to revert to surgery, they have lost hope and can no longer even imagine themselves as a slim, fit, healthy person.

As with most things in life, surgery should always be the absolute last resort. Surgery and modern medicine is amazing of course and there is a place for it, however there really is nothing natural or healing about being knocked unconscious and having people cut into your body with surgical instruments, and if you can avoid that, I feel, that it is very important to do so, if you possibly can.

One very successful option to avoiding surgery is Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy. One very common question that people ask about this procedure is; “Is it really possible?” And let me tell you, the answer to that is most definitely a huge big “YES, YES IT IS!”

Whilst most people opt for individual one on one sessions with their Hypnotherapist, (check the credentials of your therapist and make sure your Hypnotherapist is certified to deliver the program), public group trials have proven that the Hypnotic Gastric Banding procedure has work very well for the majority of people. One recent study had 25 participants and 24 out of the 25 were actually losing weight and continuing to lose weight during and after the trial period, the only person who was not losing weight, was simply not following the necessary steps and guidelines.

Yes steps and guidelines, the surgical procedure has steps and guidelines as does the hypnotic procedure and naturally for success with either procedure the guidelines need to be adhered too, because as with absolutely everything in life, if you want something to change, you simply need to do things differently. Just like a recipe for a chocolate cake, if you want to make a carrot cake, you can not use the same ingredients that you would use for your chocolate cake, you need to alter the recipe. Life is the same.

Ok, so what is involved with Hypnotic Gastric Banding Therapy?

Well the therapist opens up your subconscious mind to suggestion and does not try to alter an old habit, but rather to create a new one.

The Hypnotherapist will suggest to your subconscious mind that you actually have a surgical band fitted to your stomach and that your stomach is only the size of a golf ball. During the procedure the Hypnotherapist will talk you through the process. Your journey will begin with the therapist taking you into a very relaxed state of consciousness and you are the guided through all of the hospital sounds that one can expect to hear, such as the voices and noises as you are wheeled on your gurney down the corridors of the hospital on your way to the operating theatre. You will pass by doctors and nurses rushing by in the hospital, the bangs and clangs of sterile stainless steel bowls and instruments and the general everyday noises of a busy metropolitan hospital.

Your gurney (operating trolley) then stops as you approach the operating room, and the nurse asks if you are ready to have the gastric band surgery. You reply “Yes” and then the anesthetist steps forward to administer the anesthetic. You can hear people talking about the gastric band procedure, you hear monitors beeping and you feel that you are being surgically operated on. The hypnotic gastric banding weight loss therapy takes you through the whole surgical process. After the surgery, you are then rolled back into the recovery room, as the therapist brings you back into the moment, at this point many people actually check their stomach, to check if they have actually had surgery, as their mind firmly believes they now have a gastric band fitted and they really feel their stomach is restricted to eating smaller amounts.

Gastric band surgery as you probably already know, is a very popular option for major weight loss. A lot of very overweight and obese people have undergone the surgery and have successfully dropped hundreds of pounds and kilos. Weight loss with the assistance of hypnosis is another option to the Gastric Lap Band Surgery. Patients who have undergone the hypnotic version, feel that they really have had the surgery, as I mentioned many of them even raise their shirts to see if they have an incision after the surgery they believe they have just had, the thought placed deeply within their subconscious by the hypnotherapist is so strong that people find it difficult to believe that they haven’t had the surgery.

Hypnotic Gastric Banding or Weight Loss with the assistance of hypnosis is pain free and also a safe way to have the gastric band surgery. There is an alternative to spending large amounts of money on the surgery and you don’t need the often extended recovery time. You have all the benefits of the surgery but without the risks. Hypnotic Gastric Banding is becoming more and more popular as many television shows feature them. Weight loss via hypnosis is a great alternative and a lot of clients can attest to the fact that they have lost hundreds of pounds from this form of therapy.

Enjoy opening your mind and exploring the different possibilities in life. Hypnotherapy is now widely accepted and is becoming more so as the amazing results are becoming more well known and a lot of doctors, others in the medical professionals and natural therapists see and recommend the treatments of available utilizing hypnotherapy.
