This gets me every time…!

Maybe because of my restaurant background, or just a love affair with the Magimix when it first came out.

There is always that moment when you have to let go

- leave home
- leave that relationship
- change that job

It’s much easier and more comfortable to stay in the familiar. But just like

A ship is safe by the shore
But that’s not what it was made for

There’s so much more waiting for us out there in the realm of uncertainty.

Remember the exhilaration of that first bike ride, that first dive into the swimming pool. that first drive alone after passing your test.

All because you trusted yourself. And let go.

4 weeks ago I had just come out of Intensive Care

After open spinal surgery

Recovery time predicted: 2 months

But through daily self hypnosis
2 weeks ago I was back seeing clients.

It worked like this:

- Acceptance and surrender
- Visualisation of the healing process in small steps
- Journalling daily progress
+
- A strong dose of gratitude

There are now scientific studies which prove that hypnotherapy aids healing.

Through the strong connection between mind and body.

The only surprising thing is that it’s taken so long for this to be recognised!

Who’s in charge of your money?

You?
Your bank?
The Government?
or ..,
Your beliefs?

As children we’re like sponges. We soak up ideas about money, what it represents about ourselves and how we view others in relation to it.

You can test your beliefs by:

Thinking about a person who you know has a lot of money.

How do you feel about him/her? Is there any resentment, jealousy, or negativity of any kind? If so why?

And then, think about yourself having a large amount of money in the bank

How does that feel? Elation? Excitement? Relief? Or… Discomfort? Resistance?

Whether the feelings are negative or positive, they are attached to our beliefs.

So they can all be let go.

The empty space that’s left can then receive unshackled abundance of:

- Money
- Love
- Health and vitality

And no one needs to be in charge.

This has been my bed for 5 nights.

A remarkable surgeon removed a large benign tumour from a nerve in my spinal canal and the 6 month long excruciating sciatic pain was history.

What is also remarkable is that the predicted 8 day stay in hospital became 5. How?

I practised self hypnosis throughout:

- Before the procedure
- On wakening from the anaesthetic
- On an ongoing basis throughout the days of recovery

(Some of you who know me well may be pleased to know I repeated at my reflection in the mirror:
- You’re doing really well
- You should be very proud of yourself !)

I’d signed myself off for the recommended 3 weeks but now I think it will only be 2.

Till back to helping my clients.

That was insane!

Declared a recent 14 year old client after going into trance in a hypnotherapy session..

Rosanna (not her real name) came to me because she was afraid of going on the Tube in London.

You must understand that this was a big deal for her. All her friends would go on the Central Line to Westfield shopping centre on a Saturday afternoon. And she couldn't join them.

Teenagers hate to be different, for something to be wrong with them, so phobias are often their guilty secret. They won't admit to being scared for fear of being laughed at. At that age the main aim is to be accepted and fit in.

So excuses are made, the issue buried and patterns of avoidance formed. And then the anxiety of missing out starts to build, and erodes confidence in other parts of life.

---------------------

When parents introduce the idea of therapy, there is often resistance:

- there's nothing wrong with me
- I'm working on myself
- I'll sort it out

The problem is that traditional talking therapy does not always work for teenagers. Maybe some do like to talk about their feelings, but many do not want to be poking around in the problem.

Solution focused Hypnotherapy has a different approach. It focuses on how things would be without the problem, and of course has the magical experience of trance.

I love working with teenagers, but like everyone else they have to want to come themselves. Not because their parents want them to.

Sometimes it can take a couple of sessions, to get to that point. And that's OK.

And for me personally, the reward is great. To know a young person has been set free from an irrational fear holding them back is magical, mysterious and yes, a bit insane.

Pain comes in 2 forms:

- Acute
- Chronic

Acute pain serves a very important function. If you touch a hot stove, you'll rapidly and automatically remove your hand. To stop the skin being burned.

The A fibres which conduct this speedy message allow no space for reflection. Just action!

Chronic pain is transmitted along a slower pathway producing a dull or burning sensation. And this is what affects most people who experience pain.

It has 3 aspects:

- Sensation - what you actually feel from the stimulus
- Understanding - the cognitive aspect
- Suffering - how you process the information

It's clear that in the chronic pain experience, the body and mind are closely aligned.

You know how back pain can be so much worse on days when you've slept badly or are feeling anxious or stressed. And so much better after relaxation.

Which is why hypnotherapy can be so effective.

About 2 years ago a GP client I was treating for a phobia, got up from the couch after the second session, and asked where his back pain had gone.

(I didn't even know he had back pain!)

Another client had such bad back pain that she couldn't even sit still in the first sessions. But ended up by experiencing enormous release of her symptoms, and finding more peace and serenity in her life.

Medical reasons need to be ruled out first of course, but the truth is we can get too used to having chronic pain. It can get tangled up with past memories and traumas, and well outlast its sell by date.

The good news is that when you get used to being more pain free, the neural pathways soften and accept this new state of being. And it's cumulative.

Do you want to be the boss?

If you really do, that's great. If you're not sure, that's great too.

When I had restaurants, I tried wherever possible to promote from within. I wanted to show that there was a career path working for me,

One woman had worked for over 10 years, as an Assistant Manager. But whenever the job of a full Manager came up, she declined it.

I'm quite happy as I am, she said. I like to support people but not be the main player.

Maureen was my most valued employee. She never missed a day, was never stressed and was totally consistent and reliable.

We are all expected to want promotion as a matter of course. It makes our parents proud for one thing (and who doesn't want that?).

But there's nothing wrong with simply enjoying the job you're in. Being happy in your skin with things as they are.

Recognising this can sometimes be quite a relief. You can be free to get on with enjoying a job you know well, to set limitatons on it, and perhqps to pursue other things.

And honestly, for the rest of us bosses, we need strong lieutenants in the likes of Maureen, supporting us.
