Is thinking believing?

There is a marked difference between thinking you have a solution to a problem and believing there is no problem. Likewise you can be reasonably confident that you have solved a problem, but there may still be hints of doubt remaining. The little doubts that plague us, give rise to insecurity, loss of self esteem and can even end up crippling our best efforts. When people practice using affirmations, there can sometimes be a part of their psyche that just doesn't buy into the new mindset. This internal disagreement can sabotage the whole effort because the pronounced victory over circumstances just doesnt ring true. You can fake it till you make it, but you have to be absolutely assured of your victory. One of the great things about Hypnosis is that by design, the process circumvents the little voices and is able to redirect thoughts and actions. Hypnosis doesn't need you to think about whether or not you can solve the problem, just that a solution is possible. You are opened to the realm of possibility and can therefore come up with any number of unique ways to change your circumstances. Thinking is a component of belief, but belief implies that there is an air of certaintude about our abilities and opportunities. We are not limited in what we think, but we have absolute limits on what we believe. What do you "know" to be true in your own life? What led you to that certainty? Why do you have doubts about your abilities to have a fulfilling relationship, career, or being able to quit smoking? Before you can change your beliefs, you must uncover what you already know. Chances are there are some false truths waiting to be uncovered, freeing you to live the life you truly believe you are meant to live. At Soul Centered Health I encourage clients by asking the hard questions and allowing them the space and freedom to hear the answers. Only then can you unravel the knots tangling your thoughts and enable your progress.

Ninety Eight Percent Potential

It is said that the conscious mind is only capable of registering and processing a mere 2% of available resources. That leaves a whopping 98% available to the subconscious mind to utilize. This untapped wealth of information, skills,and sheer mind power is ready to be tapped to open us up to a host of infinite possibilities. Our mind's eye is not limited by a field of visions, but is manned by a field of dreams. What we can imagine we can create. What we think about we become. Hypnosis and other Mind-Body techniques are on the cutting edge of this revolution. By accessing the mind's potential we are at the cusp of a great awakening for ourselves and mankind. The field of neuroimmunology is blossoming and is just beginning to unravel the nature of illness and health. Scientists are assigning a non physical component to why some people fall ill and why others never seem to get sick. People may in fact be able to move mountains with their mind alone--literal and figurative. Who is to say what is possible once we free our minds and enter unto creation...

No Ifs ands or Butts

The decision to quit smoking can be a major turning point in the life of a smoker. The touted benefits such as improved health, social interaction, sweeter smell and the savings are not to be missed, however these considerations were hardly the factors that will keep the smoker from smoking. Real change has to start within the person--there has to be a fundamental shift in their desire to want to continue the behavior. I have seen individuals smoke 3 packs a day who have quit cold turkey. I have spoken with mothers who stopped successfully while pregnant or nursing without a drop of resistance. I have also seen people continue to smoke while on the nicotine patch and in smoking cessation discussion groups. Caveat; If you want to learn how to stop--chances are the odds of your successfully quitting improve if you are not discussing your cravings with other smokers.(just a suggestion) What separates those who say they want to quit from those who do quit? Willpower! Those who do quit are not "trying to quit" they are determined to quit. Those who do quit are not quitting because their partner wants them to, they are not quitting because they are ostracized at work--They quit because the physical, emotional, social, or actual cost has gotten too high to continue the behavior. They decide for themselves the time has come to stop. That is when Hypnosis is highly effective--it is the meeting of willpower and mind power and the results are nothing short of life changing. When right thinking is applied--individuals are invincible! Hypnosis is the how, not the why, in an individuals quest to become a non-smoker. I cannot convince you of why you should or ought to want to quit--but I can and will help you achieve your goal of successfully quitting once and for all. Hypnosis is scientifically proven to help individuals quit and remain nonsmokers for life. The decision should be yours and yours alone--when you are ready--contact Soul Centered Health for more information.

Hocus Pocus Healthcare

"You can drop 15 pounds in two days using this amazing diet pill."
"You can be pain free forever taking one Yak horn tablet twice a day forever."
"You can have all of your dreams come true for one low price of $99.95 plus shipping and handling."

Sound familiar? Fantastic claims, over zealous announcers, and of course a demoralizing money back guarantee. "If you truly are a loser for whom this product that works for everyone else, doesn't work for you after you have really and truly tried then we would gladly give you your money back--as we no longer want to have anything to do with you."

When it comes to Hypnosis, how do you decide what to believe? Does Hypnosis really work? Here are some facts to consider--

Fact: Hypnosis has been recognized by the American Medical Association since 1958 as a viable and successful adjunct treatment.
"Hypnosis can be used very effectively for pain reduction. It can also be very useful in treating anxiety in people who are anxious. Hypnosis has been shown to be effective in helping people to stop smoking and in controlling overeating." David Spiegel, M.D. Associate Chairman of Psychiatry and Behavioral Sciences, Stanford University.


Fact: Hypnosis is a fast and effective treatment.

"...we find that for psychoanalysis we can expect a recovery rate of 38% after approximately 600 sessions. For Wolpian therapy, we can expect a recovery rate of 72% after an average of 22 sessions, and for hypnotherapy we can expect a recovery rate of 93% after an average of 6 sessions." Dr Alfred A. Barrios PhD Hypnotherapy a Reappraisal

Fact: Hypnosis is a successful therapy for weight management
In the below study patients were reviewed after a 9 week weight loss program--Some were supported with Hypnosis, some were not. At the end of the sessions--all showed weight loss, however at the 8 month and again at the 2 year follow up--those who had added hypnosis showed significant additional weight loss as compared to those who had not been hypnotized.

Bolocofsky, D. N., Spinler, D. and Coulthard-Morris, L. (1985), Effectiveness of hypnosis as an adjunct to behavioral weight management. Journal of Clinical Psychology, 41: 35–41. doi: 10.1002/1097-4679(198501)41:1<35::AID-JCLP2270410107>3.0.CO;2-Z

What are the uses for Hypnosis? Well a better question might be what can't Hypnosis be used for. Hypnosis can be used in lieu of anesthesia in surgery, for stress reduction, to heal skin problems, and to conquer a fear of heights. People have successfully quit smoking, recalled facts in criminal cases, and visualized solutions to complex scientific problems all using Hypnosis.
