Body Identification

From my own personal experience and from what people have told me most of us see our bodies when we think about ourselves. This gives weight to the idea that people identify with their bodies. It is also more common for people to identify with a picture of their bodies they make up in their heads than to identify with the body as it is. Many people see themselves as older, younger, heavier, lighter, bigger or smaller than they really are and it is the image they hold of themselves that influences how they feel about themselves.

Feelings Dictate the Chemical Balance

Our feelings determine the chemical balance in our bodies. The body simply obeys the mind that commands it. When we feel anxious, fearful and under stress the chemicals released into the blood stream prepare us to fight or escape. The chemicals in our blood keep us on high alert but it is our feelings that cause those chemicals to be released in the first place. Prescribed medication seeks to adjust the chemical balance in order to address anxiety; depression and stress where as Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy address the feelings that cause the conditions like depression, anxiety and stress.

An Effective Alternative to Medication

It is how we feel about ourselves that determines our well being so wouldn’t you think that people would seek to address their feelings in order to resolve a problem caused by them. The emphasis for years has been on the treatment of conditions like depression using prescribed medication but fortunately this is now changing. More and more doctors are referring their patients to government approved Hypnotherapists because they are realising that long term use of medication is not answer.

Permanent Solution

When choosing a therapist to address conditions such as depression, anxiety and insomnia it is important you ask if s/he addresses the emotional root cause. Not to do so would be like putting a plaster or an open wound – it just wouldn’t hold!

Role Play

People use coping mechanisms all the time to survive the challenges they are presented with on a daily basis. The coping mechanisms I refer to are sometimes called the ‘masks’ we hide behind.

Nobody deliberately puts on a mask in order to deal with someone or an experience; it is simply something we have all learned to do and is now something we do without thinking.

The masks we wear are the roles we play when we are with certain people and dealing with certain situations. We simply can’t help playing these roles which have become part of us.

The Labels

We form relationships with other people who are also wearing ‘masks’. We judge people and they judge us though nobody sees further than the ‘mask’. We live our lives believing that we know ourselves and the people in our lives when what we are doing is making it all up in our heads.

The most common ‘masks’ used by people are the labels we hide behind. The labels like, son, daughter, father, mother, husband, wife are roles most people get to play but in many cases people cannot disentangle themselves from their role and they become stuck.

This can also happen when people take their jobs so seriously that they identify with their job description. This is a trap that many find very easy to fall into especially when it is their job that validates them as people deserving respect. Without the title many feel lost, without purpose and even in some cases, invisible.

Who Am I?

Psychotherapy coupled with Hypnosis is a wonderful way for people to get comfortable not wearing any ‘mask’. It is a way to find who you really are and to express yourself without the need to hide behind any artificial role, self made or imposed. Therapy is a most fulfilling journey within – a journey of self discovery!

It is not the role of the therapist to decide what is best for you as you are the highest authority in your own life. The role of the therapist in Hypno-Psychotherapist is to help each person become aware of their own personal power and ability to affect the changes they desire. Healing is spontaneous and is as a result of a change in mind. It is only by changing our minds that we correct our perception of ourselves and the world we inhabit. By dropping our masks we reconnect with our own inner source of wisdom putting us directly in charge of our own direction in life no longer influenced by forces outside of ourselves.

Healing through Repression Release by Clara Nathan

Feelings and Emotions

Society looks favourably on people who freely experience feelings of joy and happiness but frowns on unbridled expressions of sadness and pain. From a very early age we are programmed to stuff down these feelings with no regard for the consequence.

Feelings and emotions are there to be expressed and rather than inhibiting their expression if children are encouraged to express them appropriately then there would be no need for them to seek refuge in alcohol, drugs or over eating.

Our emotions belong to us and if we choose to hide or suppress them they will find ways of expression and in many cases these will be self destructive. Painful emotions that we have buried in the subconscious are called repressions and they will find expression, one way or another.

Repressions Manifesting as Symptoms or Destructive Behaviours

If we are involved in any behaviour that is harmful to us then the underlying cause for the behaviour will ultimately be an emotional one. This is an example of how a repression finds expression.

A person who continues to over eat knowing the disastrous consequences of such behaviour has simply found eating food as an alternative to expressing feelings they have suppressed.

People are not normally consciously aware that they are suppressing their feelings. It is a habit they have learned and as such it is something they do subconsciously. In order to reverse the process the subconscious needs to be accessed in order to uncover the emotional root cause of the destructive behaviour … like over eating and this is where hypnosis proves to be an invaluable tool.

Healing through Repression Release

Here at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man my wife Mary and I are in private practice using both Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy to show people how to access their subconscious and make those changes they want in their lives. The presenting symptoms of the people who seek our help are the physical manifestations of problems with an emotional root cause. We help people uncover and resolve underlying cause of their conditions at source, the unconscious. Once the the negative emotion associated with their symptoms is released through abreaction healing is inevitable.

Preparing for Exams

It is exam time again and my children are busy preparing! My son is doing his AS exams and two of my daughters are doing GCSE exams. They each have their own way of dealing with the stresses involved in preparing for their exams and each has found a way to study that is very much in keeping with their character type.

Motivation from Within

Over the years my wife and I chose to encourage our children to study but deliberately avoided putting them under any pressure to do so. We made ourselves available so they could come to us if they ever needed our help and they only did so when they really were stuck. Our approach placed the responsibility for their success or failure firmly on their own shoulders and this made them find their own inner source of motivation rather than looking for it outside themselves.

The Art of Self Hypnosis

There was one thing that we actively encouraged and which we feel was a very important ingredient in their success to date and that is the art of self hypnosis. We taught each of our children how to hypnotise themselves from a very early age and this proved to be an invaluable tool.

By learning how to achieve this relaxed state of mind they learned how to silence the monkey mind and develop powers of concentration that are rare in many children today. Visitors would comment on how our children could sit through a whole movie with subtitles while theirs were unable to sit still for even a few minutes. This was just a natural consequence of self hypnosis which our children now just take for granted and see as perfectly normal.

Hypnosis for Children at Bedtime

I, also, created an audio program which they played going to sleep at night when they were very young and which helped them sleep soundly and awake every morning feeling wonderful. The audio program was designed to counteract all the negative messages our children received during the course of anyone’s normal waking day and which we all just take for granted.

We have grown numb to hearing and seeing things that once may have upset us. The images we see on TV and the suggestions we are bombarded with through advertising and the the media are the same messages our children are exposed to. Then there are well meaning people in our children’s lives, including ourselves who unwittingly say things that they could easily accept and which could affect them negatively at the subconscious level.

Following is a link to the audio called Hypnosis for Children at Bedtime by Xavier Nathan and which can be downloaded from the Downloads Page of our website. In the state of hypnosis positive suggestions that are given to the child go directly to the subconscious where they are accepted and automatically activated and this is the main reason why the audio is so effective.

Learn your Multiplication Tables in your Sleep

Another audio program I created specifically for my children and which I made commercially available for download from our website Downloads Page is: Learn your Multiplication Tables in Your Sleep by Xavier Nathan

While my children were attending Primary School there was not the same emphasis on rote of learning tables as in previous years and I could see this as a problem in later years. To solve this problem I created an audio for them which taught them their tables while they slept. None of my children have ever had any problems in this area as a result whereas I meet students every day in High School who still need a calculator to calculate what comes second nature to my children.

I went on to develop a Computer Mathematics Program called Mathematics Tutor to teach my children all the basics of arithmetic which they could practice at home and ensure that they had a solid foundations in the basics. This too is also available for purchase from our website in CD form.

Unleashing the Limitless Power of the Subconscious Mind

The mind is very powerful and we only use a fraction of it. The reason for this is that many people still do not fully realise their potential because they were never taught the art of Self Hypnosis to enlist the support of their subconscious to achieve their goals.

Depressed

If you are someone wondering why everyone else seems to be having such a great life and nothing ever seems to work out well for you then you are probably feeling down as you read this.

You probably sigh a lot, feel frustrated at work and your relationships with friends and loved ones are strained. You probably also feel tired even after a night’s sleep and find it hard to get up in the morning.

Your body posture is telling the world that you are feeling down and your facial expression betrays how you are feeling inside.

Your inner dialogue is always critical, judgemental and keeps going round in circles. You don’t notice people who pass you in the street or in the corridors at work. You don’t notice the beauty of nature all around you because you are stuck inside your head a slave to a mindset that keeps you where you are.

You probably try to make yourself feel better by eating, drinking, working or spending money. You may feel good for a while but you find that no activity results in any permanent change. Activity will only stop the ruminating for a short period and then you are back again inside your head with the thoughts that bring you down and cause you to feel depressed.

Getting Out Of Your Head

Milton Erickson, a famous Psychiatrist and Hypnotherapist once treated a patient who was suffering with depression by telling him to count the chimney pots on his way home after his hypnotherapy session. The patient did as Milton Erickson instructed and did feel a lot better when he arrived home. This very simple intervention on the part of Erickson was a deliberate technique employed to change the patient’s mind and in so doing change how he felt. Instead of looking down as he normally did he looked up to count the chimney pots. Instead of sitting alone at home ruminating inside his head he was out meeting people and getting good quality exercise.

By forcing his patient to get out of his head and be present he had broken a spell and this is exactly what happens every time we deliberately get out of our heads and engage with the present. It is by being fully in the present unfettered by our depressing ruminations that we regain the power to choose what to think and in doing so we choose how to feel.

Hypnotherapy to reclaim the Power to Choose

Hypnotherapy is a powerful tool reclaiming the power to choose what to think and how to feel. By learning how to deliberately suspend the critical chatter that keeps us stuck inside our heads we regain our personal power and self confidence. By regularly practising self hypnosis it becomes easier and easier to take charge of your thoughts and once again become the director of the movie called This is Your Life!

If you would like to know more about the therapy Mary and I provide here at Setanta Hypnotherapy Clinic in Peel, Isle of Man please call us on 842938 to arrange to meet for an informal chat. We also provide a wide range of high quality audio products from our Downloads Page that we have produced for our own clients and which you could use effectively in the comfort of your own home to initiate those changes you desire in your life.

A common belief held by many is that we are soul or spirit inside a body and when the body dies our soul leaves the body and returns to God.

Some people even speak of experience they have had in which they left their body for a period of time while they were still alive. These experiences are called Out of Body Experiences or Astral Projection.

Some people describe experiences they have had outside their body when they were deemed clinically dead for a brief period. These experiences are called Near Death Experiences.

One thing that can be said about all of these experiences is that like all our experiences we cannot help but interpret them and give them meaning based on our collective past experiences. The meaning, however, is made up in the mind like all the beliefs we hold and as such have little bearing on truth.

The belief that we are actually outside our body and only believe we inhabit our body is as valid a belief as any a person can hold. But this belief though gaining more support is still only held by a few.

We are free to believe whatever we want but unless we believe this to be true we remain in a kind of belief prison of our own making. Few fully realise the power they hold to change whatever they want in their lives by choosing what to believe.

Someone reading this might dismiss such a notion citing some logical argument to justify remaining a captive of their old beliefs but that too, is a choice.

“You can bring horse to water but you can’t make him drink”, is a saying my Grandfather taught me and which very aptly fits the human condition. Regardless of how much pain and suffering we experience few will allow themselves to be open to change their mind about how they view themselves and the world. Few fail to realise that their pain and suffering is as a result of the beliefs they cling to and to suggest otherwise is seen as insane. “Who is the insane one”, I ask?

Hypnotherapy is a very effective way of reclaiming the power to choose what to believe. It is a key to free you from a mindset that sabotages your personal development. It is safe and because it is without any of the negative side effects of medication more and more General Practitioners are recommending Hypnotherapy as an effective alternative.
