Raspberry Ketone recommended by Dr. Oz

2012-04-08T06:35:00.003-07:00

Dr. Oz recently did a presentation on his show about Raspberry Ketone. He explained using liquid nitrogen and air filled balloons, how the Raspberry Ketone caused fat cells to "shrivel up". Taking just 100mg a of Raspberry Ketone a day is enough to boost metabolism and reduce the size of fat cells. Watch the video here!

This is great for the physical side of weight loss, but you still need a way to take control of your mind, reduce food cravings and stop trying to change your mood with food! This is something that a Raspberry Ketone Weight Loss Supplement can't do for you!

You've got to get your MIND into the weight loss game! Get motivated to exercise, stop eating foods that have a high calorie from fat index and take control of your emotions! Begin To Be Thin is like Raspberry Ketone for your MIND! Using powerful "Train your brain" exercises you can create new healthy habits and behaviours that work with your natural supplements to enhance your results!

Are you over weight? Have a free ice cream!

2012-04-03T06:39:00.000-07:00

I am always amazed at the way the media plays with our minds. It's like they are saying one thing consciously while delivering a completely different message to your sub-conscious. Check out this screen capture from a popular new site. One of the top stories is that people are more obese that we thought, the second story is that Ben and Jerry's free ice cream cone day is a tradition that goes back to 1979.

So what are we to do? Do we get a free ice cream or immediately use Hypnosis to lose weight? Perhaps you could have the ice cream, do 2 miles on the treadmill, then listen to Hypnosis for Weight Loss so that next year you'll have lost so much weight and feel so good that the thought of ice cream won't even enter your mind... unless it's a news headline.

Hypnosis for Studying and Exams

Many students get stressed out when studying for exams, so I thought I'd create a relaxing Hypnosis session that would relieve some stress and give suggestions to the subconscious to learn faster, retain more information and make it available when it's needed at test time.

Weight Loss Using Hypnosis

2012-03-22T09:39:00.000-07:00

Do you want to lose weight? Have you tried different diets, programs and techniques but been unsuccessful in maintaining your weight loss goals? Perhaps it's time to get your Subconscious Mind involved using Hypnosis!

As human beings, we are creatures of habit and when we do the same thing over and over again, these habits become automatic. So how do you change a habit that you do without even thinking about it? The answer is to interrupt the behaviour and make changes at the Subconscious level. Once you get your Subconscious Mind working with you instead of against you, losing the weight becomes easy.

Now you can listen to my 12 minute weight loss Hypnosis session absolutely free (below) But, I want you to fully understand how you think, what drives unconscious eating and how you can change your relationship with food for life! That's why I've put 6 weight loss coaching sessions online on my website. Now you can get over 2 hours of personal weight loss coaching for free! Why do I make this available for free? Because I want you to lose the weight, feel great and live your life without limitations!

Enjoy! And be sure to write me and share your results! Peace and love. - Alan

Change is about leverage!

2012-03-22T09:25:00.004-07:00

Why is it that there are so many therapies and that all of them work some of the time, but none of them work all of the time! The answer is leverage!

People only change when they are at the point where they absolutely need to change and they need to do it now! That's why a good Hypnotherapist will talk with the client and listen carefully to the language that the client is using to describe the problem. Many times, the presenting problem (the problem the client came to see you about) is not the real problem, it's a symptom created by the real problem.

Once the real problem is identified, the Hypnotist will ask many questions (questions that you could ask yourself if you want to change something in your life) and build the perceived pain associated with the problem. The Hypnotist will ask "what will you lose if you don't change?", and "in what areas of your life will it cost you if you don't make this change now". These questions are designed to help the client realize that the consequences of NOT CHANGING are way more painful that actually making the change.

Once you have built up leverage with the client and they get to the point where they HAVE TO CHANGE the Hypnosis Session along with metaphors and positive suggestions provides the catalyst that allows the client to make the changes they desire.

Of course not everyone wants to, or is ready to change. The Hypnotist must also accept the fact that some people will not get to the point of leverage because the behaviour or habit they have has many secondary gains (other benefits) that are just to comforting to give up. It can take several sessions to work through those other perceived benefits and teach the sub-conscious mind that there are better ways to get the same benefits while still making the desired change.

If you want to make changes in your life, ask yourself questions about what it will cost you now and in the future if you don't change, how will effect your income, relationships, retirement etc... get yourself to the point where you feel you absolutely have to change and you have to do it NOW! Then use Hypnosis or Self Hypnosis to facilitate that change!

Hypnosis Session - Take control of YOUR mind and change the way you feel

2012-03-01T11:02:00.000-08:00

Wouldn't it be amazing if you had a control panel in your mind that had switches and dials that you could adjust in order to change your energy level, motivation, self confidence. Perhaps their would even be dials for pain level, forgiveness, feeling more positive or just increasing energy!

An interesting concept isn't it. Well now you can unlock the power of your subconscious mind and access YOUR control panel and adjust the dials you want to make the changes you desire.

Enjoy and please comment to let me know how you like this powerful Hypnosis Session.

Sometimes, Hypnosis should be fun!

2012-02-27T10:23:00.000-08:00

What's wrong with making people feel good and having some fun along the way. So many Hypnotists think that things have to be sooooo serious, but laughter, confusion and cool graphics can add to the therapeutic experience sometimes.

In the Hypnosis Video below, I use some really cool graphics to take you on a sort of Hypnotic Ride. Along the way you'll relax deeply and be provided with suggestions to help you think and feel more positive!

Listen with good quality headphones and maximize the video to fill the screen for best effect.

Enjoy the ride!

7 Tips to Relieve Stress and Relax

2012-02-25T13:00:00.000-08:00

Life isn't so simply anymore. Sometimes I like to watch "Leave it to Beaver" and "Happy Days" just to remember a simpler time when people seemed more relaxed and the biggest issue of the day was whether the Beaver had punched Larry Mondello in the Stomach (right where he almost had his operation).

Now we are bombarded with TV commercials that present information to us as if we have an IQ of 42. The News we hear on the TV and Radio is rarely good new and even if it is there's always a part of the story that points out just how bad things are somewhere else there's always a "What if?" scenario. "Congratulations on your Lottery win Bob, but let me ask you, how miserable would you still be if you didn't win? I'm sure everyone wants to know!"

So, here's my 7 tips to relieve stress, relax and feel good NOW!

1) Stop watching and reading the news, it's not going to make you feel good. Don't worry, if the world is going to end, you'll hear about it in plenty of time from all those people you know who are glued to the 24 hour news station

2) Stop listening to regular radio stations. You'll always get news tidbits and the commercials will drive you crazy! People yelling, telling you what you need and how you feel. It's time to decide how you feel and what you need yourself without the constant bombardment of information that comes at you faster that you can consciously process it.

3) Stop reading Newspapers. It's just bad news and people trying to sell you crap you don't need. If you have columns that you like to read and can JUST READ THOSE then fine, otherwise look up the column online.

4) Get outside and get back in touch with nature. Go for a walk, play a sport outdoors, go somewhere that's beautiful and really pay attention to what's around you while you're there!

5) Be in the Moment! Give yourself a break and stop thinking about what's next, what you have to get done, what comes after this and focus on what you are doing RIGHT NOW. People are so busy thinking about what's next that they are forgetting to enjoy what's going on in their lives AS IT IS HAPPENING! You might want to say something to yourself like "Right now there is nowhere else I need to be, nothing else I need to do, right now I can just BE HERE IN THIS MOMENT."

6) Eat natural unprocessed foods. When you eat Fruits, Vegetables and other foods that are good for you INSTEAD of the highly processed, manufactured food crap that is so readily available, guess what! You'll feel better!

7) Use Guided Meditations, Soothing Music, Nature Sounds and Hypnosis to Train Your Brain how to help you relax! Below I have included a 7 Minute Guided Meditation "Love and Relaxation" that will allow you to reduce negativity, feel good and release built up stress!

Remember, it's you're life! Take control of how you spend your time, who you spend it with and appreciate those Moments Of Magic while they are happening rather than always thinking about the next thing.

Hypnosis for motivation

2012-02-25T12:24:00.001-08:00

What is it that makes us take action? Why do we procrastinate? How can we motivate ourselves to do the things we need to before the consequences of not doing them are upon us and how can Hypnosis help?

The first thing we need to understand in order to get motivated is if we are a moving towards or moving away from personality. Think about it, do you respond more to being rewarded for doing something, or punished for not doing it? I remember when I was younger and in school, I would often leave projects to the very (and i mean VERY) last minute. Then with impending doom upon me I would spring into action trying to get the work done. Of course the result was usually a C or D but hey, I got the project handed in.

So why did I wait? The answer is that I am a moving away from person, I would do more to avoid the punishment that I would receive if I didn't do it, than the reward of getting it done early and getting a better mark. We all are either more motivated to obtain pleasure, or avoid pain.

In the Hypnosis Video below, I discuss how motivation works in greater detail and will then take you through a relaxing Hypnosis Session to help you get motivated in the way that works for you!

Build Self Esteem and Self Confidence using Hypnosis

2012-02-24T07:37:00.000-08:00

Have you ever wished you could just escape reality for a few moments? What if you could take a mini vacation in your mind and relax completely any time you had a few minutes, wouldn't that be amazing!

With Hypnosis you can do all of the above while also building personal resources like Self Confidence and Self Esteem through visualizations and using the imagination to create this little getaway for ourselves.

By Combining Music, Visualizations and Hypnotic Language we are able to help people get completely relaxed while utilizing metaphoric representations within the visualization that the sub-concious mind understand. For example, If someone was having a problem with bed wetting, we might use a visualization of a boat being repaired, perhaps the boat had a hole that let water flow where it shouldn't, and now you can see that the hole is being repaired perfectly stopping the flow of water etc... etc..

The subconscious mind is very receptive to this type of Metaphor when people are relaxed completely. By using Hypnosis, we can relax people quickly and facilitate the changes and improvements they want to make quickly and easily.

In the session below, we use powerful visualizations to help build self esteem, get organized and motivated! I know you'll love this deeply relaxing session.

How we think we think

2012-02-23T07:17:00.000-08:00

Understanding the way we think!

Do you ever think about how you think? How do we understand words that are said to us? How do we know that something is in the past or in the future? Why is it that certain songs make us happy while others make us sad based on past experiences, and how can a smell take us back into an experience the moment we smell it!

If you've never really thought about how you think, then read on, because you're about to be empowered. Every experience you have ever had is stored in your mind as a memory, but these memories contain much, much more information than you probably realize. Take any happy experience from your past, go ahead think of one now. Now notice the things you could see, hear and feel at that time (these are called modalities), go ahead and imagine your there again and look around you, notice all the things you can see. Where there other people there? Was the environment light or dark? Were there colours around you? What were you wearing? No without being asked what you were wearing you probably wouldn't realize that that information was part of the memory, but it is. So lets look at the feelings you were experiencing at the time. What was the temperature of the air on your skin? Was it warm, cold or just comfortable? Were you smiling or laughing? Are there any other sensations in your body that you were feeling at that time? What did you feet feel like at the time? Were you wearing shoes or were you barefoot? No turn your attention to the sounds of that experience. Were people talking? Was their music playing? What sounds could your hear during this experience? You can even notice the sounds of yourself saying something to yourself during the experience (don't worry we all talk to ourselves, it's called internal dialog).

So as you can see, there is a lot of information that is stored with each memory and this can be broken down further into into sub-modalities which would include things like direction of sounds or light, intensity or volume and different feeling such as fuzzy, warm, cold, spinning and the direction of any movement associated with feelings. Of course we also have to add our other two senses into the equation too, which includes taste and smell.

Once we understand that our experiences are stored as modalities and sub-modalities, we can then begin to do some interesting things. For example, if you were to think of a not so pleasant memory and wanted to change it, you could simply recall the memory and then change some of the sub-modalities in the experience to reduce the intensity and take away much of the emotional impact of that situation. For example, if you had a time in the past where someone was yelling at you, you can think about that past experience and then play in over and over in your mind while making some changes along the way. Change the person's voice in your imagination so that they sound like Donald Duck. How does that effect the intensity of their voice? What if you imagine that the person who is yelling is wearing a tutu and elf slippers? Can someone wearing that be taken seriously? I seriously doubt it. What if you imagine them being far away, way over in the corner at the other side of the room. How does them being way over there effect the intensity of the memory. Run the memory over and over making all of those changes, now, how does it feel? It feels different doesn't it! This process is called a sub-modality edit and you can do it on any past memory that is not pleasant, although if it's something really intense, I would recommend you find a local NLP Practitioner to help guide you though the process.

You can also take more control of your thoughts by realizing that when people speak to you, you are subconsciously making associations and visualizations in your mind. Many times this happens faster that we are consciously aware of, but, when we pay attention we can start to realize what we are picturing and choose to accept or reject those images and replace them with others. For example, if I say the word "canoe" to you, what picture do you form in your mind? What colour is the canoe you pictured? Did you even realize the canoe had a colour before I mentioned it? Where is the canoe located? Does that canoe hold good memories or bad memories for you? By paying conscious attention to these automatic thought processes, we can begin to take more control of our thought processes and begin steering our mind instead of just letting it go wherever it wants. In NLP refer to this as Who's driving the bus! If you're not driving and steering your own bus, then outside influences and information is! You'll never get to your destination (whatever it is) unless you take the wheel!

Lastly, for this article, I want to mention anchoring. If you hear a song on the radio and feel good or bad, it's because you are associating that song to a past experience at a sub-conscious level. The same can be true for the "look" on a person's face, a certain voice tonality, language pattern or body posture. For example, you may know someone who always says something like "Here's the thing" every time they begin complaining or whining about something, or perhaps your state of mind changes as soon as your partner looks at you a certain way. These are all anchors. If you want to get rid of anchors that don't serve you in a positive way, then you can do so by simply having a really positive experience and then playing that song or doing something to change what would have been a negative experience into a positive one. When we have powerful positive experiences along with the same stimuli that was anchored, those negative anchors are then replaced by positive ones.

Hypnosis Questions Answered!

2012-02-21T16:22:00.000-08:00

There are many Myths and a lot of misinformation out there when it comes to Hypnosis. Some people believe that you can get "stuck in Hypnosis" while other people believe that it's some sort of mind control. The truth is that Hypnosis is a natural state that we all experience several times a day, but few of us are using that state to help us reach our goals, feel good and get motivated and it's mainly because of Myths and Untruths!

The actual truth is that all Hypnosis is SELF HYPNOSIS and you're the one that does it and makes it work. The Hypnotist is your guide, but your the one in control. This is always the case. As a matter of fact, you can end a Hypnosis Session at any time simply by deciding to do so an opening your eyes. You can also reject any suggestion give by the Hypnotist if it doesn't resonate with you or match up with your morals. The bottom line is that you're not going to strip naked and pole dance during a Hypnosis Show unless it's something you at some level desire to do and you accept the suggestion to do so. Of course, most people would simply pop out of Hypnosis, look at the Hypnotist and say WTF dude (or Dudette)!

So I thought it might be interesting and fun to answer some questions that you may have regarding Hypnosis! Let's get to the facts so you can begin to use this powerful tool to improve your life! Post your questions and I'll gladly respond.

I look forward to hearing from you!
