This is a great article (below) about what you can do as a parent about bullying. Don’t let it happen to your child. Whether it is Cyberbulling or bulling on the playground it is far too prevalent and must be stopped before your child’s self esteem becomes affected! Children need to be taught how to be kind to others from the earliest age possible. It is the kids who don’t feel good about themselves that bully others. Examples of cyberbullying include mean text messages or emails, rumors sent by email or posted on social networking sites, and embarrassing pictures or videos.

Kids who are bullied are more likely to: Use alcohol and drugs, skip school, be unwilling to attend school, receive poor grades, have lower self-esteem and have more health problems.

Bullying is unwanted, aggressive behavior among school aged children. The behavior is repeated and includes actions such as spreading rumors making threats, attacking someone physically or verbally, and excluding someone from a group on purpose.

Help your child understand what may happen at school. Talk about what bullying is and how to stand up to it safely. Tell your child bullying is unacceptable. Make sure your child knows how to get help. Check in with your children often and keep your lines of communication open. Listen to them. Know their friends, ask about school, and understand their concerns. Help your children to do what they love. Special activities, interests, and hobbies can boost confidence, help kids make friends, and protect them from bullying behavior. Show them in your behavior how to treat others with kindness and respect.

Have your child listen to a self esteem MP3 on how to not succumb to bullying. It will relax them and teach them how to instantly feel better and access a calm place inside of themselves. It will teach them how to appreciate themselves and pick good friends that will support them.

This year make your New Years resolution last!

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 02-01-2013-05-2008

Another year gone by and new opportunities for change are just around the corner! It's that time of year to make your New Years resolutions! What have you been wanting to change in your life? Most of us think that change is difficult. We know what we want but not knowing how to get there is always the overwhelming reason most people don't follow through with their resolutions. It's important that people make their resolutions simple, specific and action-oriented, to help keep them on target. Hypnosis and New Year's resolutions go hand in hand because a detailed action plan is what is needed for success in keeping your resolutions. Are your resolutions just a thought in your head that you would like to lose weight or stop smoking? Do you think about it a couple times a year and do nothing about it because you are too busy or it seems like too much work? Make sure it is something that you will do. If you make it too difficult you will give up before you even begin.

Maybe it isn't just exercise motivation or stress management which many people associate with hypnosis. Maybe your relationship needs work or you are grieving a loved one. Perhaps you need advise on money management or you are depressed because of the economy and there seems to be no solution. Do you need to forgive someone or deal with a divorce? Have you ever thought that these problems could be addressed through hypnotherapy? Perhaps you have thought about psychotherapy but it takes so long and is very expensive so it doesn't seem to be an option for you especially in this economy.
Don't let this year's new Years resolution fail! Hypnosis is a proven and effective way to reprogram your mind and stick with your New Years Resolutions this year.

It is great to be able to just download an MP3 and listen to the recording in the comfort of your home without having to go anywhere but to a comfortable place in you house, put some head phones on and everyday do a little work on yourself.

Good Luck and enjoy your New Year!

The Nation Mourns for Newtown, Conn.

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 18-12-2012-05-2008

So everyone is asking themselves the same questions right about now. How could we ever have come to this point? What am I doing on this crazy, violent planet? What causes a person to have so much pain in their life that they could even begin to think of committing such a heinous crime to such beautiful innocent children and their families. Many questions are all swirling around our heads as fellow Americans, surviving this unspeakably tragedy that cannot bring back those beautiful children and their teachers.

After a 1996 mass shooting, Australia enacted strict gun laws. After the worst mass murder in Australia’s history. Australia’s government did something remarkable, it announced a bipartisan deal with state and local governments to enact sweeping gun-control measures. A decade and a half later, the results of these policy changes are clear. They worked extremely well! Australia hasn't had a similar massacre since!

We also need to look at the mental health of our youngsters and the way they grow up constantly in front of a computer screen and violent computer games, TV shows, etc. There are mentally ill children out there that desperately need help. Some of the names of the illnesses are: Autism spectrum, ADHD, Oppositional Defiant or Intermittent Explosive Disorder. We as parents can't ignore kids who are displaying violent and aggressive behaviors. We need to get them psychological help even at a very young age if need be. The right medications can do wonders for a child!

Sometimes it comes from peer pressure or bullying that has gotten out of hand and these kids need to know they have a place to turn, someone they can talk to. Too often they bottle up their anger until it explodes out of the blue one day and we wind up with a situation like Newtown, Conn.

If you have a child that exhibits unusual, violent behavior or is very withdrawn. Don't just let them sit on the computer alone in their room. It is your responsibility as a parent to look into other activities for them, friends, social groups, sports, etc. They probably don't know how to tell you how withdrawn they feel or how depressed they are and they may not know how to define what it is they need. Self esteem is usually a big part of the problem and helping a child gain confidence and self esteem is one of the most important things you can do for a child!

Teachers can try to include them in the group and tell the parents if there is unusual introverted behaviors.

Kids can reach out more to those considered different or unpopular and invite them to do things. These kids need to be raised by the whole community not just a busy single mom or dad who are at a loss as what to do with their child!

It takes a community to raise a child!

How to deal with Holiday Depression

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 30-11-2012-05-2008

0

The holidays are not filled with joy and happiness for everyone! Holiday songs,T.V. shows and commercials make us feel like there's something wrong with us if we are not in the holiday spirit but don't feel bad if you're not because more than likely you are one of millions of people who feel mostly anxiety and stress around holiday time. A number of factors, including unrealistic expectations, financial pressures, and too many commitments can cause stress and anxiety at this time.

The colder weather and shorter days cause many to feel depressed. Overeating and drinking, headaches and insomnia all come with the territory of poorly managed holiday stress. Financial pressures are usually a factor when your heart is bigger than your pocketbook. When you have to balance the demands of parties, shopping, family obligations, and house guests it's no wonder you feel overwhelmed and tense!

If you are suffering from any type of holiday depression or stress it would be good if you could limit your commitments and activities to make sure that your are not overdoing it. Make sure you share in the responsibility with family members and make shopping and cooking a fun activity together. Don't try to do it all yourself! Agree on financial limits for gifts if that helps. Get the spiritual and social support you need with friends and community.

Counseling or support groups are another way to relieve some of the burdens of holiday stress if you are experiencing an abundance of sadness and feel very alone. Know that others feel the same way and by sharing your feelings, it can help you feel more connected to others and give you that social support that you really need. Especially if you are grieving the loss of a loved one.

Above all remember to get enough sleep, eat well and exercise!

Take time out of your day for power nap!

Face the fear and do it anyway!

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 29-11-2012-05-2008

0

The only way to get rid of the fear of doing something is to go out and do it!

Once you do it, you will feel better about yourself and your self-confidence will grow. We all experience fear when in unfamiliar territory, the key is to push through the fear and do it anyway! Once through it you will feel fantastic! You will feel on top of the world knowing you conquered your fear about something that you know has been holding you back and allow yourself to move from a position of pain to a position of power!

Love and power go together learn to play with life instead of fight it let your love and power come out. Take the words "I can't" out of your vocabulary and replace thoughts like, life's a struggle with life's an adventure or, it's a problem with it's an opportunity. Say yes to opportunities that come your way! Replace the question, "what will I do?" with "I know I can handle it" or the statement, "it's terrible!" with "it's a learning experience." Change I hope to I know. Take a risk a day one small or large risk that will make you feel great once you have done it!

It's been said “The best way out is always through”

OCD and Post Partum Depression

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 13-11-2012-05-2008

0

Do you feel like your whole personality has changed since you had your baby and you feel like you are going crazy and don't know where to turn? Most new mothers have some thoughts of concern about their babies, but if your thoughts are constant and you feel out of control, scared and depressed you could have, post partum OCD or postpartum depression? The condition includes intrusive thoughts and constant fears about the baby. In order to control these unpleasant thoughts, the mothers develop rituals or other behaviors, like checking the baby excessively or washing a baby's things over and over, much more than necessary.

OCD is a very prevalent and very unusual disorder. Many women experiencing these symptoms are not getting the help they need because they don't even know that what they are experiencing is something that can be helped. They may think they are just more neurotic because they have a new baby to take care of. Post partum OCD is severely overlooked and without brave women like Brooke Shields who wrote a book about her struggle with postpartum depression it may continue to go unnoticed. The problem with OCD or depression is that left untreated it gets worse and infiltrates your whole life until you are a bare shadow of what you once knew yourself to be.

Having OCD is like having a danger button in your brain stuck on and you can't find any way to turn it off without creating some kind of ritual that only brings short term relief until the next episode. Sometimes it is explained as having to withstand constant traffic noise in your head. Demands to do this or do that until you are exhausted and you will do anything to get peace of mind!

The new mother may be overwhelmed with trying to keep her baby clean or safe to the point of it taking over her whole life!

Doctors and psychiatrists have not come up with the root cause of the disease. However, most tend to believe that the hormonal imbalance occurring after giving birth can be the cause.

Behavioral therapy and medication is the treatment of choice although many do not want to go on medication and would rather try other methods of dealing with the anxiety. Listening to MP3 recordings for Deep Relaxation, OCD and Post Partum Depression can be another way to help yourself.

Most importantly talk to your doctor about what you are feeling and talk to a therapist to discuss any fears or anxieties you may have with becoming a mother.

Have you had enough stress and anxiety lately?

Have you had enough stress and anxiety lately? Whether you were hit by Hurricane Sandy, are still without electricity, reeling from the recession, can't find a job, are worried about the fiscal cliff, not able to retire, or something else, no matter what, life has changed!

You may not have enough money to distract yourself the way you used to, so you are eating home more, watching a lot of T.V. and just trying to get by, sound familiar? Too familiar I'm sure. What are some things you can do to alleviate the stress? Some known things that people tend to do are yoga, listen to soothing music, take a walk, get a massage, read a book, all these things are good things to do but an inexpensive way to deal with your stress levels that you may not have thought about are listening to MP3 downloads on your i-pod or i-phone. A deep relaxation recording or a de-stress recording might just be the ticket. Just to lay down for 30 or 40 min and let your body and mind get a complete rest from all your worries can be just what you need to get your strength to get up and get going again. 

Maybe you're depressed and drinking or eating too much to try to deal with the stress even though you know this isn't the way to deal with it.

Sometimes anxiety explodes into a panic attack, which is marked by a general feeling of terror. A person experiencing a panic attack usually experiences a racing or pounding heart, sometimes even pain or heaviness in the chest. Breathing becomes labored and the hands turn clammy. The person may notice tingling in their hands and feet, sometimes in their arms and legs. They may start to feel light-headed.

People suffering from this feel like they are going crazy. Panic attacks are so frightening that sufferers wonder whether they will survive the episode!

If you are suffering from depression, anxiety or panic don't let yourself fall into a worse funk, try an MP3 download and feel the relief immediately!

Women all over the world are finding that Hypno-birthing is the way to go when having a baby naturally. Relaxation techniques and visualization help the expectant mother to feel focused,confident and in control while in labor. If you are going to give birth naturally, hypnosis can help prepare you so that the birth experience is a wonderful experience with minimal pain and discomfort.

Women have been giving birth for thousands of years naturally! By practicing a few key techniques, mothers can program their minds and condition their bodies to birth easily. You will learn to let the contractions do their own work and let your body flow with it's natural rhythms.

It is very important that you connect with this internal feeling so that you can create your birth experience from a place of trust and peace of mind. You will be able to go to your sanctuary during the labor and feel more comfortable and relaxed during your contractions. You will learn ways to create natural anesthesia and release the fear.

Hypnotist works with Irish London 2012 Olympic athletes

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 08-08-2012-05-2008

The mind is a powerful force in overcoming obstacles. Especially those obstacles that get in the way of an athlete trying for the gold medal. Being able to handle the steady stream of distractions that surround the games is not easy.When a billion people are watching you, cameras are 6 inches from your face and the media is mobbing you
one might get a little anxious to say the least!
Hypnosis can help the athlete with their preparation for the Olympic games by using many visualization techniques.
One is to practice over and over in your mind the exact movements until the body feels it's second nature. Another technique is to help athletes visualize competition and success. Picture themselves the 1st one crossing the finish line or see themselves standing on the podium, smiling with the gold medal around their neck. See it as if it has already happened! Feel the medal in their hand. Make it tangible.
There are many ways to work with the mind to boost performance under pressure. Gaining confidence and learning how to deal with performance anxiety, as well as how to handle nerves and mental anguish so a person can perform their very best, is probably the issue everyone deals with.

Those who can handle the distractions, not get affected by others around them and trust themselves will have the best shot at a gold. Athletes train their body to perfection and their minds need to be trained as well. They need a "mind gym" as well as a "physical gym." Your mind has to be as tough as your body!

Journeys Inward has an MP3's to help with "Focus and Concentration" or "Achieving your Full Potential."

Below is an interesting article and video about an Irish Hypnotist training Irish athletes for the 2012 games.

This article talks about how hypnosis can put someone in an altered state of mind, teach them to reprogram their subconscious in order to regain control and regulate their bodies through breathing and heart rate.

Why, with all the evidence that smoking causes cancer do so many young people smoke? Lindsay Lohan apparently smokes 2 packs a day while on the set for her new movie "Liz and Dick" If people really knew that it is not as hard as they think to quit or didn't have such preconceived ideas about Hypnosis controlling you; they would realize it only focuses your subconscious mind to help you to accomplish your goal of quitting. There is a very systematic way of helping a person to quit smoking with great results! Sometimes after only one session, even after the person has smoked for 30 years! If you have tried everything or even if you haven't it is certainly worth a try! It works! Try this MP3 from Journeys Inward Hypnotherapy "Smoking Cessation"

Money Management in hard times!

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 16-06-2012-05-2008

0

In tough times, it can be very hard to discipline yourself to spend within your means. This is especially true if you have had financial success in the past and are used to buying anything you want whenever you want it. These days, most people are feeling an economic pinch, but for some the old habits of spending are very hard to break. Even disciplined people are tempted all the time with the latest gadgets and toys. Most of us know what it feels like to be drawn to buying something we don’t really need because we think it would be fun to have or it will help us fit in with everyone around us, that seems to have it.

The key to money management is the ability to resist advertising ploys that make us think our lives will be so much better if we keep upgrading our possessions! If you just don’t have the extra money, or more importantly, if you are barely meeting your necessary expenses, the messages to buy can be downright dangerous. Enticements like discounts that are really just reductions on overpricing, crop up more and more as sellers feel more desperate to make sales in a tough economy. Allow yourself to be able to see through the hype and resist the temptation. Embrace a new mindset that is more focused on the truth behind the advertisements and a more realistic sense about what you can and cannot live without.

If you enjoy the atmosphere of a high end restaurant you can still go but maybe go early for happy hour or order from the bar menu. Most restaurants have a bar menu and serve the same food but a little smaller portions for less money.

Think of fun things to do that don’t cost money. Make a list, write it down have that list ready when ever your significant other or friends want to do something. Suggest these low cost or no cost alternatives to them first. Remember you don’t need money to have a good time. You need to change the way you think about money. You can begin to make it you main focus to always look for a cheaper alternative to what you are buying. You will begin to get used to the joy of having more money in your bank account and the freedom that comes from this! Having more money in your bank account is much more enjoyable in the long term then having the newest gadget that will be obsolete in a couple of months or overspending on a nice dinner that you’ll have forgotten about in a week. You will soon find that you no longer care so much what other people think of you.

Every dollar adds up. Don’t let yourself fall into the trap “well it’s only so much more for the better model” Think instead “do I really need the extra features of the next best model?” Buy what you need not what you want! Times are tough. You have to keep in mind that everyone is cutting back these days. It is now more fashionable to talk about how much you were able to save on a purchase then how much you overpaid. We are in a new era and one in which frugality is more respected then extravagance. Your friends will be much more excited talking to you about how you were able to get such an amazing deal on your recent purchases then how much money you wasted. Wasting money or overspending is no longer cool or respected. In fact most of the country and world for that matter now look at over spending as irresponsible and foolish. Be the person that everyone goes to for advice on where the deals are or how they can save money.

You can begin to live within your means and without risking your financial security for the future!

Think about this and remember this phase if you don’t remember anything else. “if you overspend work will never end!” say that phase over and over again in your mind and remember it every time you have the urge to overspend! Check out our MP3 for "Control your spending"

What is Hypno-birthing?

Posted by journeysinward | Posted in Hypnotherapy | Posted on 26-03-2012-05-2008

If you are going to give birth naturally, hypnosis can help prepare you so that the birth experience is a truly blessed event with minimal pain and discomfort. With hypnosis, you can be ready to feel that profound physical and emotional connection as you welcome your baby into the world. You can learn to relax your body and separate from the physical pain of childbirth so that you can concentrate more on the emotional experience as it unfolds.

Hypno-birthing is designed to teach women to trust their body's instinctive ability and know that the birthing body and the baby know just what to do. After all women have been giving birth for thousands of years naturally. By practicing a few key techniques, mothers can program their minds and condition their bodies to birth easily. You learn to place yourself in an ultra-calm state using visualizations, music, self-hypnosis, and relaxation techniques. You go through your labor in a Zen-like state, minimizing pain and discomfort. It helps you to build a strong bond with your baby before birth and allows you to focus on the high of giving birth naturally instead of the pain. The birthing environment is much more calm and peaceful when the mother is comfortable, relaxed and confident. It helps the birth partner to enjoy the birth in a relaxed and confident way as well.

Hypnosis can even lower blood pressure, heart rate and lessen nausea, back and hip pain during pregnancy and labor. Breech and posterior babies can be turned using hypnosis. There are fewer complications during labor for mothers and babies.

Listening to Hypno-birthing audio recordings during pregnancy and birthing can help the mother to not only learn to relax and prepare for the birth of her baby but get a good night's sleep as well.

Giving birth naturally can be a rewarding experience. It creates a bond between you and your child because you are welcoming your child into the world with feeling. Instead of being numb, you can experience the birth of your child in a profound way, the way nature intended it to be.

Two of our new MP3's are for teens. If you have a teen or a friend, who has a teen, struggling with "Peer Pressure" issues or "Cyber-bullying" please give them the gift of one of our MP3's for those issues; as cyber-bullying is a very real threat to many young kids today and they may not know where to turn for help. Once negative information is posted on the internet, it is hard to take it back. They usually don't want to worry their parents and may even be considering suicide because the pain is too great and they don't know who to talk to. It’s just an unpleasant fact that kids can be mean and they usually pick on others to make themselves feel better. Kids need to build their "Self esteem"  so they can can ride through the difficult teen years. They need to know it will make them stronger if they are willing to fight for their life instead of cowering and giving into the bullies. These MP3's will help them to see things from a different perspective. They will realize, that depression is just a dark cloud that is covering their sun for the time being that it won’t always feel like this. Many creative people even celebrities have been bullied and look what they became by not giving in and believing in themselves!

Why is March Divorce MonthAccording to this article March is considered divorce month: http://now.msn.com/living/0307-march-divorces-peak.aspxWhy do you think that is? Divorce fillings peak during this month for many reasons. This article gives a few reasons such as taxes (filing jointly one more time), post- New years revelations, affairs coming out of Holiday depression and families waiting for that last holiday together. I am wondering though if it is just Spring is in the air and time for change, time for new beginnings after the long winter.

Divorce is a hard choice to make and you may be feeling the need to make the break but it feels very overwhelming on so many levels. Sometimes we just may need to be reminded that a relationship is a journey not a destination and if that journey is making you very unhappy then it might be time to reconsider what is keeping you together and if you perhaps want to journey alone for awhile.

Cyber-bullying can have Real World Consequences

Here are 2 really great videos to watch. The first one is about how a rumor run wild and cyber-bullying on Facebook has caused extreme pain to the lives of a boy and his family. Children who gossip or make insinuations about fellow students online do not always consider the real world consequences. When kids are on the computer, they don’t necessarily feel responsible because they’re not talking to somebody, so they say things they wouldn’t say in person.

The second video is about Rachel a girl who was killed at the Columbine shootings in 1999 and how she has touched  the lives of thousands with her kindness and compassion.

Hypno-birthing – Getting your mind out of the way

It seems that Hypno-birthing is the rage now and for good reason. By practicing a few key techniques, mothers program their minds and condition their bodies to birth easily. Hypno-birthing helps you to get your mind out of the way and let your body get on with what it does best. It helps you to get inside of the contraction and let the power of it surround you and carry you along. Trust your body's wisdom, then permit the contractions themselves to be your guide.

Imagine that you are out in the ocean in the heavy surf, if you stay on the surface as the waves come toward you, you will be tossed around every which way and you might feel frightened and out of control. Instead if you dive under the wave and wait for it to pass you will come up again between waves and be just fine. When the contractions come, allow yourself to dive down, deep beneath the wave to a safe place and wait for it to pass. While you are waiting for your reprieve focus on the pain and what your body is doing. You can visualize and help it along by seeing a wide open birth canal for your baby to pass through. While you are deep down and you can feel the intense pressure of the water overhead you can know that you are in your safe place and empower yourself to be ready for the next wave. Embrace your power as a woman a “Goddess!”

Women have done this for thousands of years and encouraged by other women they learned how to stay in the moment and ride each wave as it came, one wave at a time, one minute at a time. After all a labor wave or contraction lasts on an average one minute then you have a reprieve. Labor is a process with it's own rhythm and timing, all you need to do is trust the process and learn how to manage one wave for one minute, there are breathing techniques that will help you to do that. Hypno-birthing works very well with any birthing classes you may choose to attend.
