Meditation and Motivation for Anxiety and Depression

Take a deeeep breath...
And let it ouuuut.

Can you imagine being told anything more infuriating when you are feeling anxious?

Hold my breath??? Are you TRYING to give me a heart attack?? I'd like to see YOU relax and take a deep breath when YOUR chest feels like its about to explode!

Depression is'nt any easier. Picture a football coach giving his best "Go Get Em" prep talk to a sofa inhabited by a droopy figure who feels like a ghost, and you have a pretty good idea.

Pills work, we like pills. They're easy, you don't have to take any more responsibility than remembering to take them, they're socially acceptable, and they were prescribed (one hopes) by "The Doctor".

What could possibly be wrong?

For readers familiar with the chain of events that occurs when using pharmaceuticals, the irony is clear:

Pills have side effects.

Sleeping may seem unimportant to you during a time of pressure and head spinning panic attacks or debilitating depression, but in retrospect, William Dement's well known insomnia research in the 1960s may seem startlingly resonant. Dement showed that prolonged lack of sleep causes both anxiety and depression.

Other side effects meander across a vast field of dysfunctional behaviour, and yet, this is what we do. The more varying the side effects, the more pills are required to bring your deliriously confused body back to "NORMAL". Its like the song about the old lady who swallowed a fly: "She swallowed a spider to catch the fly, she swallowed a bird to catch the spider, she swallowed a cat to catch the bird, she swallowed a dog to catch the cat, she swallowed a horse to catch the dog...

Is this normal? Is this sane? Really?

We can understand the cause of anxiety and depression very simply, by identifying what is missing. If you have anxiety, relaxation is missing. If you have depression, motivation is missing.

Within these two over-simplified statements, there exists enough complexity to spend several years talking to a therapist, quantifying which event in the past caused each repercussion in the present. Let's assume you spent 18 months working it all out. Where would you be? Exactly where you are now with one major change: you can now tell your story, your history, your past. Do you have the peace of mind that you started out searching for? Have you achieved your most accessible life goal?

This myth: "The key to your future is understanding your past" is the reason for so much stagnation, suffering, and entrapment. How can you see where you are going by looking backwards??! Does'nt that seem a little, well, backward?

When is it time to leave pseudo-profound anonymous sayings in the Pick n' Pay diaries where we found them, and listen to real people who are actually doing what we want to do, and living the lives that we want to live? There are people who are doing this right now.

Every author of a "How To Be Brilliant And Successful Like Me" book has one thing in common: they left their past in the past, let bygones be bygones, planned the goal they wanted, and went after it with every spanner they had!

It is my reward to present to you:

Anxiety and depression may seem like polar opposites, but they are actually two sides of the same coin. One is very rarely present without the other. You do not have to be officially diagnosed to suffer with anxiety or depression, its just a feeling of being outdone, defeated, disappointed, wanting more out of life, or feeling that your goals are out of reach, or that sometimes things seem a little overwhelming and you feel like you want to get off the carousel, or you feel you need a vacation shortly after returning from one.

After studying human behaviour for many years, and becoming an International Hypnotherapist and Stress Consultant, I founded Neuro-Behavioural Sound Reprogramming in 2005, to address behavioural problems and life challenges holistically. NBSR uses a combination of therapeutic techniques including behavioural analysis, hypnotherapy, and common sense, to transform your challenge into a spiritual, emotional, and physical goal attainment.

I look forward to sharing this dynamic and thorough system of personal transformation and self-empowerment with you. Feel free to brows the testimonials on the website, and get an idea about what I do, or you can email me directly at www.nbsr.co.za/contact

THIS VALENTINES DAY: HYPNOSIS TECHNIQUES FOR ATTRACTING LOVE

Seriously? Valentines Day??
Stop reading this! Are you 12? 

You are special every day, why do you need to be told you are more special on some random day? Who even remembers why its called Valentines day? And who's profiting from all these fluffy hearts and chocolates?

Every year, with varying degrees of awareness, I go through the dilemma of what to buy, where to go for dinner, how to dress, or whether to boycott the whole thing and laugh it off as another consumer conspiracy! It was so much easier before the sly birth of cynicism... Am I jaded beyond any hope of romance? 

Thanks to good fortune, my bedazzling rescuers have convinced me that there is merit in acknowledging a day of romance, so I am holding a workshop for couples and singles alike, to understand how your own personal force of attraction works. Understanding your subconscious behaviour unlocks your ability to attract the right partner if you are single, or to attract your present partner more strongly if you are a couple, and ultimately to achieve inner happiness, within or without a relationship. 

Are you searching for your inner bliss?
Who are you? Who do you attract?
Are you with the right person?
Do you feel like your relationship has reached a plateaux?
Are you still searching for The One?

In my training at HMI, I learned a model of human behaviour based on left and right brain hemisphere dominance. This model is without a doubt the centre-most concept that I use when working with a person in hypnosis. Its like a set of keys that fits the desires of each individual exactly, and allows for an unparalleled understanding of personalities and relationships. I am delighted to share with you:

The Model of Physical And Emotional Behaviour

Workshop Outline
(Printed notes are provided)

• Who are you? Who do you attract?

• Physical Behaviour (Right hemisphere dominance) 
  • Dos and Don'ts, Cans and Can'ts

(The full "E and P" questionnaire will be emailed to you after the workshop)

Understanding and applying this behaviour model has saved thousands of relationships from the brink of destruction, and helped thousands more individuals realise what was holding them back in their relationships and their lives, what mistakes they were making, and how to find the lasting partnership of which they always dreamed. In my practice alone, every one of my clients who has applied this model has experienced a sense of personal realisation and liberation, and a remarkable increase in their ability to attract their chosen partner!
