I’m not qualified to make a judgement on that, but I assume it is better that you don’t do it. that is where hypnosis helps. In a short program, we can help you change your life so you don’t do it anymore. It’s as simple as that. when you don’t do something, it really doesn’t matter what the effects are, it really just doesn’t apply anymore.

So, if you do this, call me. Hypnosis helps amazingly well and you don’t have to keep doing this and worry about your health.

I’ve never met one person who bit their nails who liked it. Sure, it provides some comfort, but almost universally most of the people who do it absolutely hate it. They can’t wait to stop doing it and most of them were unaware of how effective hypnosis was in changing their lives.

I’ve found that Nail-Biting is socio-genetic. That means it usually comes from within your family, with 75% being a mother-son and father-daughter transference. It is not like a disease that travels in one’s family, being that there is no pathological part to it. It’s not anything weird, actually it comes from when we were young children and we learned, unconsciously, to react to stress the way our parents, or even a sibling did. It’s not deeply psychological or a sign of deeper troubles, it’s just a habit we picked up at a very young age, as simple as that.

In fact, it has no more significance than a patterned response and if I was to ask the parents of most of my successful Nail Biting clients, they would say one of their parents did it too. You are not crazy, there is no deep seated emotional issues. It is a simple habit you picked up when you were very young. You may not have started doing it until later on, but it always was impressed upon your subconscious as a response.

The bad news is that it is a big deal to you and a habit like this is hard, if not impossible to break. Many Nail Biters go through their entire lives doing it. The good news is that hypnosis can help to change it, stop it and make it not happen anymore.

I find that we can make great changes in as few as one or at the most three sessions, where people will never, ever, bit their nails again. Most of the clients I see for this tell me they have a great sense of relief, like they overcame a tremendous burden in their lives. I never did it, so I don’t really know, but I do know how much they appreciate what we do here. They say their lives are changed so very much for the better.

The first thing I had to determine was if we had a competent driver who was capable of passing the test. Passing a driving test requires adequate vision, familiarity with laws and practiced motor skills. After speaking with the father, I was assured the teen had completed a driver education course, knew all the laws and was, in fact, very proficient in driving. He said he was comfortable and felt very safe while his teen was driving. That was frustrating to both the teen and the parent, because all that required was there, except passing the test and gaining the license. He told me the teen was calm while driving and he had no doubts about safety or skill, the problem was just a case of “nerves” when it came to the test.

Getting a driving license is a big milestone for a teen. It is a rite of passage, a true indication that you are becoming an adult. Because of that, the actual event that holds the key, the driving test, can become emotionally charged. Fear of failure and anxiety can turn a dream into a nightmare.

With hypnosis, we were able to create a trigger with the teen that would produce a calm, confident state. We used a color that the teen said suggested that calmness, the color blue. We were able to have the teen produce this state immediately after the session, so the teen now had the needed confidence that it could be done at the time of the test.

Well, you can imagine the result. I received an excited phone call a few days later proudly announcing to me that there was a new, licensed driver on our roads. I was thanked profusely, but made a point to tell the teen that it was their doing, not mine.

This is just one of the ways that hypnosis can make your life easier and help you to accomplish things that you didn’t think you could. I wish more people would come to know that this a great tool to make their lives better, just as this father and teen did.

Most of those wishful resolutions usually end up in failure within 3 weeks. Our best intentions end up on the junk pile, maybe to be revivied for next year. However, that doesn’t have to happen to us and I’ll tell you why.

Many of our resolutions center on our habits or behaviors. We may want to Quit Smoking, Lose Weight, or Stop other of our undesirable Habits like Nail Biting, Cheek Biting, etc.  and these are definitely good aspirations for us in our lives. They are positive changes. They will make us better.

However, we usually try to make these changes with Will Power.  While often thought of as what makes a strong person, Will power is usually misunderstood, overestimated and used for things it doesn’t work well with. Habits are one of those things.

Will Power is like mental adrenaline and its’ purpose is to give us a short-term blast of concentration and focus. When we are in difficult situations, it can make the difference between life and death for us. But it’s only can last for a short time.

Hypnosis allows us to communicate with our Subconscious Mind, our Inner Mind, where our habits live. With Hypnosis we can get across to that Inner Mind that we want a change. Will Power just can’t do that. When we get across our wishes, the change takes place. It’s as simple as that. Normally, we can’t get our wishes across to our Subconscious Mind, we have natural blocks in place. Hypnosis helps us to overcome those blocks so that we can tell our Inner Mind what we really want.

My big message is “Don’t Give Up”, when you attempt New Year’s Resolutions and fail. You have the right idea, have the right intentions and you deserve to make the changes you want. At Chester County Hypnosis, I can help you to succeed at your 2012 resolutions, so you don’t have to accept a needless failure.

With a little help, you can feel better about yourself, enjoy your new accomplishments and have the satisfaction of knowing you made a New Year’s resolution and stuck to it.

I’m Joe Nunan, Certified Hypnotherapist at Chester County Hypnosis and Hypnosis Instructor at The Hypnosis Academy. Let me help your 2012 begin on a successful note.

In the 1940′s, the US military was in a dilemma. Because of the internment of most Japanese-Americans, they had virtually nobody who spoke Japanese in the armed forces.  Without getting into the morality of that, it left them in a dilemma. Japanese, like Chinese and Korean are tonal languages, much different from English and European languages, where it’s not what you say, but how you say it that determines the meaning. tonal languages cannot be learned from books.

So, as an experiment, the US tried “sleep learning” on a group of recruits. To do this they played records or language lessons through barracks after the troops went to sleep each night. They also had one day of awake language instruction per week. The results were that withing 4 months they has virtually all fluent Japanese speakers. Back then, it would have taken several years of courses to accomplish that.

Dave Elman mentions that in his famous book, Hypnotherapy. He was supposed to interview the director of the program after the war and apparently they decided it was confidential and cancelled the interview.

So, I figured, lets give it a try myself. I’ve got some Plimseur CD’s and I’m going to see if I can learn Mandarin Chinese in my sleep, just as they did in WWII. Now, this is not going to be easy, Mandarin Chinese is considered one of the most difficult languages for a non-asian to learn, but I’m game. Also I have a good evaluation point set up as my wife is a native Mandarin speaker and has seen me attempt to learn Mandarin for 10 years with little or no success.

So, I’m going to use some of the Self Hypnosis techniques I teach along with the US Army “Sleep Learning” techniques from WWII and see how we do. If all goes according to plan, I should be fluent by May 2012.

However, the biggest problem is that I love to leave the radio on and listen to Coast2CoatAM every night, what a great show.

So, stay tuned, I’m going to do my work (subconsciously) each night with my MP3 player and then do a few hours of conscious listening to the same material each week. What I think that does is create the link between the subconscious learning and subconscious learning.

I’ll update you monthly and see if this valuable knowledge from WWII can help all of us.

Always remember, our subconscious mind is 88% of us, it’s our automatic, our habitual mind. Our conscious, our logical mind is only 12% of us. When our superior, logical, conscious mind wants to make a change, and can’t, that is where hypnosis helps greatly.

I always enjoy when people call who have trouble sleeping. Lack of quality sleep can have a devastating effect in our lives, causing everything from moodiness, irritability and poor mental performance to a breakdown of our immune system and premature death. Not to be overly dramatic, but I can not emphasize enough that sleep is very important to all of us.

The National Institute of Health estimates that 85% of people in the U.S. have either chronic or intermittent sleep problems. That’s an unbelievable statistic and when you also consider that only a small percentage of those people actively seek help, it becomes quite staggering.

The reason I enjoy getting calls from people who want to sleep better is that I know I can help them. Many of you know that hypnosis is not sleep, however it is the gateway to sleep. We go through a natural state of hypnosis, called the hypnogogic state, on our way to natural sleep. Unless we get to that state, sleep is not possible.

I often explain that state to my clients as being the point when your “busy mind” shuts off and you are not fully awake, but not asleep. Sleep naturally comes very quickly from there.

Normally, that state comes by natural circumstance, depending on how tired we are and what we have on our minds at the time. Often we can either go right to sleep, because we are exhausted, or lie awake and toss and turn most of the night. We become the victims of our circumstance and come to accept the outcome, whether it be good or bad.

I teach my clients Self-Hypnosis, which enables them to enter that hypnotic state of mind easily and quickly. From there, it’s just a short step to a deep natural sleep. It takes less than a minute and works every time. You are in control of where, when and for how long you sleep. Regardless of your current issues, regardless of your current worries or fears and regardless of the setting, you decide when you want to sleep and do it.

Even though I’ve had great success with clients who have come to me for Sleep Improvement, there were still some questions and doubts, especially from the medical community concerning the true quality of sleep that can be attained from the hypnotic state of mind.

In March of 2011, I went to Gnaden Huetten Hospital in Lehighton, PA, part of the Blue Mountain Health System and worked with Dr. Ahamed Karim, a leading neurologist there, and we evaluated several subjects on the Electroencephalogram (EEG) in order to determine exactly what states were being achieved with hypnosis. Dr. Karim confirmed in his findings that I was able to suggest, and the patient was able to attain, true sleep. Brain waves don’t lie and the Doctor was quite surprised and enlightened.
I’ve posted the Hypnosis Sleep EEG Results here for you to review.

So, the message I’m trying to get across is something my mother told me many times as a child, “You need a good night’s sleep”. She was so right and it applies to all of us. Our world moves faster than ever before and often we underestimate and undervalue the importance of that good night’s sleep. We often turn to prescription drugs or alcohol to help us. It’s not needed when we possess the ability to do it on our own.

You might know of someone who has been in the military who can sleep anywhere and anytime. That is the result of Behavioral Modification training. In Boot Camp, they run recruits to the point of exhaustion and break old habits and create a new one of being able to sleep anywhere, anytime. It’s essential for combat, which doesn’t work an 8 hour day. This process takes weeks and even years to set and develop. With Hypnosis, this can be accomplished in as little as one session.

You need not suffer with difficulty sleeping, it’s more important than you think. Good, quality sleep makes everything in our life go better, physically and mentally. It’s not a chore, but a time for our mind and body to rest and rejuvenate. We should embrace it and recognize it’s importance in our lives.

I knew it would be difficult getting my message across in Seattle, but I’ve found that common sense and sound principles work anywhere. I work in a hard market, the Philadelphia area. In order to get my principles across, they have to have a lot of common sense. The methods have to apply to the logical mind in order to be accepted and then sent through to the subconscious mind. No easy task in Philly, but it makes me sure that I have the correct concepts. Around here the BS sticks out, so I get a great sounding board on my methods and techniques. That is why I’ve made my methods so direct and to the point.

To pass the Philadelphia test, first of all it has to make sense. And when I say sense, I mean it in a big way in Philly. It has to make real sense in a real way. So, in oreder to teach my methods, it must meet that test first. It jus has to make good sense, otherwise, why bother ? That is a key of the Philadelphia mind-set and I believe it ships well to elsewhere. If it doesn’t make sense, we don’t want it, plain and simple.

Another important part of the Philly mentality is the reverance with which we hold personal achievement. We celebrate average people who do extraordinary things. We can be cynical in ways, but are extremely supportive of each other and their accomplishments. We want each other to win, in any way that we can. Be it small or large, we want each other to win.

So, as I tell my listeners every week, take control of your life and make it what you want it to be. The biggest obstacle I have to overcome with my clients and listeners is to help them to realize that they are not “stuck” being a certain way they do not want to be. They can change and every week I teach them how.

The one concept that Jung and Watts spoke about was the concept of Good and Evil as it relates to the Self. The current event at the time was the trial of Adolf Eichmann and Jung, at one point, had been accused of Nazi sympathies because of the concept of Good and Evil that he had come to understand.

Jung had come to realize there was no definitive concept of it. He believed we were all a composite of both Good and Evil and that actually, if we were not to come to an awareness of that, we would seek to punish others that we saw the evil in ourselves in.

I’ve been thinking a lot about that and I think Alan Watts and Carl Jung might have been on to something. They were looking at some of the great atrocities of our world and realizing that the people responsible were convinced of the Good they were doing. The greatest Evils were done by people who were convinced of the Good of what they were doing.

Jung discovered, and Alan Watts agreed, that only if we can acknowledge the co-existence of Good and Evil within all of us can we come to an accurate realization of ourselves.

Bad people do good things and Good people do bad things and we are all just a mish-mash of both. The great tragedies occur when we conclude we are either totally Evil or totally Good.

Self Knowledge that we are all a combination of both, always, is true enlightenment.
