Could Hypnosis Be A Cure For Hangovers?

Christmas is around the corner and it is a time where we all tend to over-indulge. So don't we all wish that there was a rapid cure for a hangover? Something that would make the headache and the sick feeling go away. Well this article from HypnoBusters shows how hypnotherapy can be effectively used to block out pain and relieve unpleasant symptoms in a hypnotic subject.

The article rightly cautions that hypnosis for the alleviation of pain should only be used if you are absolutely certain that your feelings of discomfort are being directly caused by your alcohol consumption the night before. If there is any chance that your symptoms are being caused by another condition or injury, you should always seek the help of your medical practitioner.

What if you don't have a hypnotherapist handy? Well, you can teach yourself self-hypnosis and give yourself the suggestions regarding pain relief. Search around, there are lots of good books and articles on the subject, or see your local hypnotherapist, who will be able to teach you.

Remember though, pain is the body's way of telling you that there is something wrong. Therefore, it is not a good idea to use hypnosis to suppress pain, before you have had the causes medically checked out. Also, in the case of an injury, it is also not a good idea to completely block the pain, as it is the pain that is mainly stopping you from using the injured part of your body and causing it further damage.

Of course, if you are experiencing the discomfort of a hangover rather too frequently, you may wish to work with a hypnotherapist to uncover the causes of your heavy drinking and move forward to a healthier pattern of alcohol consumption.

How To Find A Good Hypnotherapist

One of the more unusual news items in the last few weeks is the story of the presenter who registered his pet cat George as a Hypnotherapist with three of the main industry bodies, to prove how easy it is to get accredited as a Hypnotherapist in the UK. Apparently all three of the industry bodies accepted George's certificate from the non-existent Society of Advanced Mind Therapists without question.

So how do you go about finding a reputable Hypnotherapist?

1) Speak to your friends and colleagues and find out if they have seen a Hypnotherapist that they could recommend. Nothing beats a personal recommendation from someone you know and trust.

2) Approach one of the professional bodies, such as the General Hypnotherapy Register and ask them about Hypnotherapists in your area. They may well have a facility to search for practitioners in your area on there website.

3) Search online for Hypnotherapists in your area and call a few of them. A good therapist will be more than happy to spend a couple of minutes talking to you and answering your questions.

4) Don't be shy about asking your potential Hypnotherapist about their qualifications and experience. Ask to see their certificates and check out if the qualifications really exist.

5) Remember even after you have started your Hypnotherapy sessions, you are free to stop them at any time. Also, if you feel that the Hypnotherapist has behaved inappropriately or unethically in any way, you can approach the industry body that they are registered with.

And finally, always trust your gut feeling - if someone doesn't feel right for you they probably aren't. You need to feel comfortable with your Hypnotherapist and feel that you will be able to trust them.

Do We Have A Sixth Sense?

There was an intriguing article in the Daily Mail today as to whether we have a sixth sense. It looks at a new book by Larry Dossey called 'The Power of Premonitions: How Knowing The Future Can Shape Our Lives' which outlines many examples where people have dreamed of future events that have actually come to pass.

The article gives examples of a little girl who had predicted the disaster in Aberfan in Wales, several examples of premonitions before 9/11 and the story of a mother who had removed her baby from its crib because of a dream where a storm caused a chandelier to fall into the crib, only for the chandelier to crash down at exactly the time that was pinpointed in her dream.

The article and book also highlight the phenomenon of doomed flights and sailings that have less passenger bookings than would be expected. Apparently the planes that crashed into the World Trade Centre were 74% and 81% empty. Also, the incredibly wealthy J.P Morgan cancelled his passage on the Titanic at the last minute because of a hunch.

The author believes that premonitions are a natural human ability, as it would make evolutionary sense for humans to develop an aptitude in sensing impending dangers and take steps to ward them off.

This book is available to purchase from Amazon:

Thinking Yourself Thinner

Find exercising a bore? Want to lose weight but hate going to the gym? Well there is some very good news for you. A new Canadian study has shown that thinking about doing exercise has the same effects on your body as actually doing it.

The Canadian study compared a group of people who exercised regularly with a group who did not do any exercise at all, but who thought themselves through exercising three times a week. The group who did not do any physical exercise but thought about it experienced the same gains in strength as the group who actually did real physical exercise.

The experts say that thinking about exercise release hormones that causes muscles to develop and speeds up the metabolism.

So lie back on the couch and just think you are on a long run.

Hypnotherapy Directory

Recognising the need for help is often one of the biggest steps on the road to recovery. But once the initial decision has been made there are numerous issues to consider - practical and otherwise. What about, for example, location, money, professionalism?

This is where The Hypnotherapy Directory comes in. It was set up to provide a simple, easy, and most importantly un-daunting way of connecting people that need help with the people that provide it. A comprehensive searching tool, the site allows postcode, town and country searches of the whole of the UK, and produces a list of hypnotherapists registered in this area. Each hypnotherapist has a profile, listing a bit about themselves, their approaches, what areas they deal with, and all their training, qualification and experience and fees.

The site shows which hypnotherapists are registered/accredited with a professional body, and full profiles are only displayed after insurance and qualification documents are checked or membership with a professional body has been verified.

Hypnotherapy Directory has also become a huge information bank - there are articles written by hypnotherapists, as well as comprehensive information on all kinds of distress - from depression to eating disorders to phobias, to help people identify their problems and become informed, not scared.
