Does self hypnosis help to quit smoking?
November 7, 2009
The number of people who smoke is steadily rising. Just as people are starting, even more are trying to stop and even cigarette manufacturer sponsors television advertisements about programs to stop smoking.
For many years hypnosis has been used to help smokers break the habit. Most people may think that hypnosis is used only to entertain audiences by getting hypnotized people to do amusing and odd things. It can also be used to stop bad habits, conquer stress or fears and to learn good habits.
Hypnotism is described as concentrated relaxation by hypnotherapists and they believe that hypnotism allows a person to by pass the conscious mind which they call the gate keeper.
The conscious mind judges, grades and edits what people hear and think while the subconscious mind is said to be like a sponge, believing all it hears as being the truth.

It feels wonderful to be free from cigarettes.

Hypnotherapy is 100% safe and drug free.
In addition to this recording being written and delivered by Darren Marks one of the UKs leading hypnotherapists and NLP practitioners, it also utilizes dual delivery hypnotherapy (DDH) and brainwave entrainment. DDH involves different suggestions or metaphors being delivered separately yet simultaneously through the right and left headphones.

So make sure you have a goal, ensure that it is safe, healthy and realistic. Encourage yourself without giving yourself a hard time. Be flexible and recognize that there will be times like festivities when you may eat more, but that’s ok as long as you eat and exercise in a balanced healthy way most of the time. Allow yourself to eat what you like but in moderation, diets involving denial of certain foods often lead to overindulgence later on.

It’s also worth noting that although this programme is designed to help you install healthier eating habits. It is a very effective stand alone recording and like all the recordings on this website utilise the same techniques that Darren uses in his live practise.
However, some people eat in order to comfort themselves and to suppress negative emotions or uncomfortable feelings. If this is the case for you I would recommend you use this recording in conjunction with some of our other programmes like ” Release Anger”, ” Let Go of Sadness” ” Let Go of Fear”, ” Let Go of Hurt”, ” Let Go of Guilt”, ” Release Limiting Beliefs & Decisions” and ” Super Charge Your Self Esteem & Self Confidence”, which will help you address these issues too.

When the brain is exposed to rhythm, the rhythm is recreated in the brain in the form of these electrical impulses. If the rhythm is the right speed it can begin to mimic natural brainwave patterns.
When this occurs, the brain reacts by synchronizing to the same rhythm. This phenomenon is called the Frequency Following Response (or FFR). FFR is used here to assist people to rapidly access deep meditative states which could take years to master without assistance.
Something scary is happening to boys today
September 12, 2009
From kindergarten to college, they are less resilient and less ambitious than they were a mere twenty years ago.
Fully one-third of men ages twenty-two to thirty-four are still living at home with their parents, about a 100 percent increase in the past twenty years.
Boys nationwide are increasingly dropping out of school; fewer are going to college.
Family physician and research psychologist Dr. Leonard Sax argues that a combination of social, cultural, and biological factors, ranging from environmental estrogens to the over-prescription of ADHD drugs, is creating an environment that is literally toxic to boys.
Here, he presents his practical solutions, from new ways of controlling boys’ use of video games to innovative education reforms.

Are there any easy methods to lose weight? Everyone knows that diet, cutting down on food intake, and exercise, increasing the number of calories you burn, combine into a formula for weight loss. But the hard part is sticking to a low calorie, and often bland, diet. It won’t be effortless, but with a little work it sure is easier. Here are some tips to make it easier.
Keeping notes will help
Carry a notebook to jot down everything that passes your lips. Keeping notes will help you eat less. Studies show that people eat 15% less when they track everything they eat. That’s significant.
On average Americans consume 245 calories a day from drinks. Switch from juice, soda, and other calorie drinks to water. 245 calories a day is nearly 90,000 calories a year. That’s 25 lbs. Are soda and juice really that good? Keep in mind too that juice and soda don’t trigger a feeling of fullness, despite their calories.
Eat more …
Eat five or six smaller meals a day instead of three large meals a day. Eating more meals with smaller portions results in eating 30% fewer calories. Furthermore, even the same number of calories eaten in smaller portions during more frequent meals can result in weight loss. You’re less likely to binge because the body releases less insulin.
Make sure your wardrobe only includes the ’skinny’ clothes. If you don’t have clothing that’s comfortable when you’re fat, you’re more likely to be reminded to keep the weight off every time you dress. And if you have to buy a whole new wardrobe you’re less likely to gain weight.
Switch to smaller plates. It’s been proven that people eat more when more food is in front of them, and they eat less when less food is in front of them. Use the salad plates instead of dinner plates.
Similar to the idea of using smaller plates, serve your food on the plate rather than in bowls on the table. Again, people tend to eat what’s in front of them.
Don’t eat…
Don’t eat white bread, sugar or white rice. Those are the foods with loads of carbohydrates which lead to higher blood sugar and weight gain. Do eat whole grain breads and brown rice. Don’t be concerned with the sugar, pretty soon you won’t miss it.
Weight loss isn’t easy, but relatively speaking there are easy ways to lose weight. Don’t think it won’t take a little work. If weight loss were easy everyone would be slim all the time.
What is Ultra-Metabolism?
An instant New York Times bestseller, UltraMetabotism finally reveals why it’s so hard to lose weight. As renowned physician Mark Hyman explains, our bodies are designed to keep weight on at all costs as a matter of survival. It’s embedded in our DNA.
Unfortunately, our genetic blueprint has not changed as our diet has evolved; as a result, our bodies are not designed to process the types of food we are fed today. And making matters worse is the fact that diets just don’t work; the average person who goes on a diet
actually gains five pounds.
But now a medical revolution is finally showing us precisely how the powerful forces that keep weight on can actually be reprogrammed to automatically burn fat and keep weight off for good. For the first time ever, Dr. Mark Hyman makes this new science of weight loss available to the general public. This medical revolution is based on a groundbreaking concept called nutrigenomics - the science of how food talks to our genes.
UltraMetabolism tells you how these scientific breakthroughs can help you :
• Work with your body instead of against it
• Ignite the natural fat-burning furnace within you
• Discover the seven fundamental causes of weight gain
An easy-to-follow eight-week plan to help you lose weight based on your own unique genetic needs, UltraMetabolism is your personal program for permanent weight loss and lifelong health.
Mark Hyman, M. D ., is the editor in chief of Alternative Therapies in Health and Medicine , the most prestigious journal in the field of integrative medicine. After ten years as co-medical director at Canyon Ranch in the Berkshires, he is now in private practice in Lenox, Massachusetts. He is the co-author of the New York Times bestseller Ultraprevention .
How to fight acne with a healthy diet
March 3, 2009
Acne vulgaris is the full name of a condition that is more than just common and widespread. Acne is a disease of the hair follicles and sebaceous glands that is manifest with or without tissue inflammation.
What we refer to as zits or pimples make in fact acne lesions, and they affect the majority of adolescents as well as a very large number of adults in their mature years. Most of the time, hormonal imbalances, inadequate diet and an intoxication of the system are among the main causes of the skin disease.
The body parts most affected by acne are the face, the neck, the upper back and the shoulders, but in very serious and extended cases, people get acne even on their head skin. Depending on the severity of the condition and the various symptoms that accompany the comedones as the typical acne lesions, several types of acne can be identified. The most serious of all forms is cystic acne that is both painful and pretty difficult to treat: besides the external pimples, there are some cysts in the deep layers of the skin.
It is known that a diet rich in fruits and vegetables reduces the toxin level in the system and allows for a more rapid or consistent cleaning of the skin. Therefore, it is totally incorrect to discuss acne home remedies without referring to the importance of diet and the contribution it has for the balancing of the body processes. If you manage to eat healthily, then, you will have understood that acne is more than just a skin problem.
Get rid of toxins
The acne-free diet is to a certain extent the same with the weight loss or detox diet, it relies on the same fruits and veggies, plenty of liquids and physical exercises. The reason for the diet importance in the treatment of acne comes from the fact that toxins are eliminated through the skin pores. When there is too much waste, then the pores get clogged and the bacteria can proliferate in the environment. Acne is thus loose to breakout on your skin.
Here, Dr. Perricone finally delivers the solutions acne sufferers have been waiting for.
A complete program that incorporates his trademark three-tiered approach — anti-inflammatory diet, targeted acne-fighting nutritional supplements, and breakthrough anti-inflammatory topical applications — The Acne Prescription will help clear your skin in a matter of days and will tell you what to do to treat the pitting and scarring that often affects adult acne sufferers.
Perricone’s breakthrough research dispels common myths regarding the causes and treatment of acne. By following the Perricone Program, you can dramatically reduce the appearance of blemishes and breakouts, and achieve a smoother look within three days.
