How Gastric Band Hypnosis Came About


I just want to share my very personal story and why I am so passionate about what we share on this page.

I like most people have faced problems. Some big, some not so big, but problems all the same. At times my own problems have frozen me with fear, trapped me and made me unable to move forward.

This of course has caused me more problems in things that the average person takes for granted, we all take for granted.

At one point they got so bad for me, I had to opt for more intensive, more conventional treatments to try and get my own issues fixed.

Honestly, it just never worked for me. Eventually I undertook some training programs that had the same mind-changing affect on myself as what we're offering you today. The programs dug very deep inside of me, got to the root of my long-term, unrecognised problems, helped me to removed the blocks that kept repeating in my life until I got to the stage I am at today.

Successful in most things, my business, my life, my relationships. Yet it was just a year ago when I was at one of my lowest points in my life when I opted for more help.

Now I am at a place where my parents, my friends and my relationships are more than amazing.

That's why I am so passionate about this stuff, how could I fail to pass it on. These changes not only have worked for me, they have worked for others, friends, relatives, clients of mine. Not just in weight but in all areas of life. The changes I have seen in people are huge. I hope now you understand why I am so passionate about this the non-surgical Gastric Band Hypnosis because the truth is, it works! These very same, life-shifting changes are waiting for you today.

I took the science of what had helped me, studied it, worked with experts and create what I know is a program that will transform your life forever - WITHOUT- surgery.

The Benefits For You Are Incredible!

    Relationships: Better longer lasting relationships (because your core issues are addressed, you'll find your relationships will LAST)

    Fitness: Fitter, able to do more than you have ever been able to do in your life. (when you feel fit you think fit, when you think fit you achieve more, This program creates higher than average achievers)

    Health: Healthier, I feel incredible, look great and love seeing yourself in the mirror. (Don't worry I know how you might feel looking in the mirror right now. I promise this program removes that deepest fear and replace it with a more settle way of looking at your life)

    Sport: Maybe for the first  time in my life you'll feel fit enough to play sports and now and then actually win. (when you can freely run around, chase a ball, use a racket, you'll get a feeling of almost euphoria - this program is designed to help you get there fast!)!

    Energy: Energy, I have seen clients bursting with so much energy after this program you just won't believe it! (if it sounds hard for you to imagine I almost guarantee you'll overcome the one thing in your mind that stops you have that self-belief that you can do anything. This program is designed to energize you and it works!)

When’s a good time to start?…


So maybe then this is a good time for me to begin writing my blog. I’ve sort of put of writing this for a while. I guess one of the main reasons is that it being a blog it’s a bit like opening up your diary for other people to see, baring your soul so to speak, and it can be a bit scary letting other people in. Letting them look around and see what’s really going on in your own little world. We spend so much time worrying about how other people see us it absolutely insane. And the shame of it is that we focus so much of our energies on how the outside world perceives us that we miss the very beauty of ourselves.

I saw an article recently in the newspaper with a photo of grains of sand. Just everyday sand from any old beach. But the photo was blown up 250 times in size, and when you looked at them that closely every single grain of sand looked like a unique and precious gem. I couldn’t help but think, ‘if that’s what a grain of sand looks like, every one so different, so unique and so perfectly beautiful in that uniqueness, how can we as people ever be anything that totally and utterly elated with who we are.’ For when we look at any one of these simple grains of sand in the photo on the left, we can easily appreciate their beauty and majesty. But then when it comes to ourselves, perhaps we just never look closely enough. Maybe that’s why undervalue ourselves, belittle ourselves, assume we’re not good enough exactly as we are – however that may be.
And it’s a great shame more of us don’t see the beauty in ourselves, and don’t find that peace and joy within them. I gotta admit, one of the things that’s got me moving and starting this blog is Gary Speed’s death recently. I’m in, what I would hope, is a minority of people that have experienced the mindset that can lead to someone taking their own life, and if I’m honest I’ve been quite suprised by the force of the emotional reaction to hearing of his death that has occurred within me. Suddenly it’s become quite hard to write. Somehow seeing someone that, in the public’s eyes, at least, had everything together, was happy and had the world at his feet, go through with, what I had threatened, and even went as far as attempting; well – I’ve found myself crying endlessly over the death of a man I’ve never met.

I think what really got to me was 2 things. Firstly, the shock, and confusion, the pure numbness of the reaction of everyone that was left. It made me think that if I had carried out my threats that day last year, just quite how painful it would have been for everyone around me. Indeed a huge air of guilt surrounds me as I think about it now and just how much pain I did in fact cause people around me at the time. The guilt is something that I’m allowing myself to feel right now and the more I watch myself cry the more I see it simply clearing away. I think that’s probably one of the biggest changes that I can see in myself over the last year. I’m not scared to feel emotions now, even ones that my have been hidden away for a long long time.

And you know, it occurs to me that that is pretty much the key to everything. Letting go. Not holding on to things, simply accepting and surrendering. To whatever comes. Sure you move in a certain direction in your life, but the truth is that you never know what’s coming round the corner, and to be honest with you – I wouldn’t wanna know! The whole fun is that universe can choose to interact with you in any way it wants. You might not like it but it wont kill ya – and even if it does – it can only kill you once (and you kinda knew that was coming at some point anyways by virtue of being born). So what’s my rambling point here? Well it’s quite simple. Whatever comes your way you always have a choice with how to deal with it, how to interact with it, who you choose it be in relation to it. But everything changes and everything dies. The sooner you accept this simple fact, the easier it becomes to let go of things. Everything in fact. From bad days, or insecurities from childhood, even to life of your loved ones and your own body one day. And when you let go – then you are free! Free to appreciate what’s right here in front of you now. This very moment!

This moment right here! It’s a fresh canvas. It’s never been drawn on before and never will be again. You can paint any picture you want, sing any song you please. If you want to keep playing old records from your past, then you can. And if you want to be something totally new and fresh right here and now then you can be that too!

The world really is your oyster and ANYTHING is possible! I’m can’t help but be filled with such gratitude for being here right now. That’s the second response I’ve notice in myself to Gary Speed’s passing, such immense love and gratitude, for life, for whats, for everything and particularly for the people that were around me back in those dark days. Those that offered me enough love, compassion and when needed some tough home truths. I am eternally grateful to each and every one of you.

And then soon, when the time is right, I will let that go too. For all things must be surrendered in the pursuit of Truth and Freedom.  So until my next Bridget Jones moment – enjoy this one!

Improving Exam Performance


One of the biggest challenges for students is exam time. Many people have difficulties with exams because they feel that they won’t perform well on the day. So how can you ensure that you do your best on the vital day? Below we look at some of the biggest problems and how to overcome them easily.

Problem: Memory Recall

All memory is state dependent. This means that when you want to recall something from memory the best way to do so is to be in the same emotional state as when you learnt the information. The problem for most students is that when they learn the information they are typically in a relaxed state in class or perhaps even a bored state; when they come to sit exams they often find themselves in a panicky or stressed state. So they find it hard to recall the information that they need, simply because of the difference between their emotional states.

Solution:

When you study for your exams put yourself in a relaxed state. Make yourself comfortable and enjoy the process. When you go into the exam, let go of any stress or anxiety and allow yourself to be in a relaxed state too. Also since stress inhibits memory and relaxation aids it, being in a relaxed state during exams becomes doubly important.

If you find it challenging to get yourself in a relaxed state, practice doing this on a regular basis. An easy way to do this is to use hypnosis to relax you. You can get a free hypnosis track here ‘christopher adams online’.

Problem: Anxiety approaching exams

A lot of people experience great anxiety around exams. One of the main reasons for this is that they project in their minds the consequences of not doing well. Generally speaking you can only feel anxiety around something when you think of it not going as you want it to. Think about it, people never say, “My life is going to be so amazing, I’m going to have lots of money, lots of friends, be rally happy and get everything I want – I’m really anxious about it!” The degree to which you feel anxious about something is only the degree to which you think about things happening that you don’t want. If you never thoughts about things going the way you don’t want them to, you would never feel anxious.

Solution:

The easiest way to deal with this is to start thinking about things that you do want instead. Start thinking about you passing your exams, easily and effortlessly. Make a list of all the things that you want, that you could get when you pass your exams. Then start to associate the exams with them. Spend a few minutes each day, look at each item on the list and think about it in detail, allow yourself to feel the great feelings you will feel when you get it. Then think about your exams (and passing them!). Then think about the list item again, then your exams, then the list item, then your exams. Think longer and more thoroughly about the list item than your exams.

The more you do this, the more you will associate exams with positive thoughts and feelings, and more importantly when you think about them you will think about them going the way you want them to.

Problem: Time Management

Often students run out of time during exams, not answering some of the most important or heavily weighted questions at the end. Problems of time management are common in exams but they can be overcome easily with some simple discipline.

Solution:

At the beginning of your exam, READ ALL THE QUESTIONS THOROUGHLY. Check how many marks are given for each question, and look at which questions you will find easy to answer. Divide your time up between questions of segments based on this. For example if you have 4 essay questions then allocate yourself just under ¼ of the time for each one. (giving yourself time at the end to go back and check your work).

Answer the quick easy questions at the beginning where possible, since most people gain most of their exam marks in the first ¼ of the exam. Not only this, but getting a few quick early wins under your belt will give you confidence as you go along. If you can’t answer a question, don’t dwell on it, skip it, move on to the next one and come back to it at the end if you have time.

What Is Hypnosis


What does ‘hypnosis’ mean?
The word hypnosis comes from the greek word ‘Hypno’ which means sleeps. Hypnotherapy thus, verbatim, means “sleep – therapy’. In many ways this couldn’t be further from the truth. During hypnosis clients are not a sleep, many people often say in fact that they are fully awake and conscious during the entire process, simply more relaxed.
Is it mind-control?
A lot of people have a lot of misconceptions about hypnosis, and the most common of these is believing that hypnosis is a form of mind control or brain washing. The main reason for this is because of all the TV shows, movies and stage hypnosis shows they have seen, where people are barking like dogs and doing crazy things. But the truth is that these people want to do these things. To explain better it’s worth having a look at what stage hypnosis show is and how it works.
Stage hypnosis, what is it and how does it works?
At the start of a stage hypnosis show, you have say 200 people in an audience. The hypnotist will ask all the people that want to have fun and go crazy to stand up, only half or so will do. The hypnotist will then give another set of instructions that will eliminate more of the people, and will continue to do these ‘tests’ of compliancy on the remaining people, eliminating the less compliant and keeping the most, until he has few enough people to bring on stage. He will then give more ‘tests’ or ‘tasks’, and keep those that do well and thank those that don’t and have them sit down, until he is left with one or two people, who have passed all of his progressively outrageous tasks. These are the people he will get to bark like dogs or do other crazy things. The skill is not in getting these people to do it, it is in picking the people out of the audience that will do this. These are the people that are standing in the corner with a lamp shade on their head at the end of a party. These people will often say at the end – “I wasn’t hypnotized, I wanted to do it” And that’s exactly right, they wanted to do it, because you can’t make anyone do anything they don’t want to during hypnosis. Let me give you an example…
Example of hypnosis.
First while you read this, put both your hands on your lap.
Now take a deep breathe in. Hold it for a second and then let go, and breathe out.
Breathe in and out one more time, focusing on how your breathing makes you feel.
Now stand on the chair and bark like a dog.
Did you do the last one? Probably not, why not? Most likely, because you didn’t want to. But you probably did, put your hands on your lap, breathe in, breathe out, breathe in and out again while focusing on your breathing.
You took the suggestions you wanted to and your didn’t take the ones you didn’t want to. And that’s exactly what it’s like in hypnosis, you take the suggestions you want to, and don’t take the ones that you don’t. In fact it’s more like a cool game show, where you take the suggests you want and disregard the ones you don’t want.
So then what is hypnosis and how does it work?
So if hypnosis isn’t about losing control, what is it and how does it work? Well have you ever read a book, and felt emotions from reading that book. I’m sure you have, would you ever say those emotions where as a result of black ink on white paper? No of course not, they were a result of you using your imagination, bringing the story and characters to life in your mind. Well that’s exactly what hypnosis is, using the power of your imagination to create biochemical changes within you. What are biochemicals? Well they’re emotions. Let me give you a quick example…
Example of how hypnosis creates change within you
I want you to imagine that you are in your kitchen, imagine that you walk over to the fridge and pretend to open it in your mind. Then imagine you see a bowl of big juicy yellow lemons. Imagine grabbing one with your hand and taking it out of the fridge. Imagine that it’s yellow rind feels cold and waxy in your hand. Then imagine taking a knife and cutting into it, the fibers of the lemon tearing and the juices squeezing out. And then for a moment close your eyes imagine taking that juicy yellow lemon and biting deep into it.
Then notice the saliva in your mouth. It increased didn’t it! And what’s saliva? It’s a biochemical. I know it’s just a small and common biochemical, but by using your imagination we created a biochemical change within you.  And that’s how hypnosis works. During hypnosis, we use your imagination to create the exact emotional and biochemical changes within you to create the change that you want in your life at an unconscious level.
