Claustrophobia is one of many phobias that make sufferers custom tailor their lives to avoid situations that cause them to experience the symptoms of an irrational fear. Although claustrophobia is simply defined as the fear of closed spaces, it can be manifested in many different ways: in crowds, in elevators or airplanes, and in extreme cases even in places that are unknown or unfamiliar to the sufferer. Like all fears, the threat is perceived as real whether it is real or not, and the body responds in a classic fight or flight autonomic nervous system response.

In 1991, a young slightly overweight man with an injured back was stuck in an MRI machine, in a vault at the University of Florida Hospital new MRI research facility, in Tampa Florida. In those days, the lined vault was to reduce the sounds of the magnets and keep the magnetic energy confined to one area. Let me quote him: “And, there I was, being scanned for injured disks, except, I was overweight, and I got stuck in the MRI, and in my fear, I was transported to another place and time, where I was buried alive. I couldn’t breathe. I couldn’t scratch my way out. I panicked. I couldn’t get out.” This is a common complaint of those with claustrophobia in unknown places.

This type of claustrophobic experience can be treated very successfully with hypnosis because hypnosis has no negative side effects, it’s not invasive, and is proven to be safe.  The primary focus of hypnosis for phobias is helping the sufferer become relaxed and safely release the anxiety that has caused them to be afraid and help them to adapt to be able to live a happier life without any form of experiencing that fear.

Anxiousness often creates the body’s first symptoms that make people feel really uncomfortable and filled with unjustifiable fears. Learning to relax your mind and body to relieve that anxiety puts the body and mind in a position to learn, entrain, and live with new improved ways of responding to fear-based stimuli. It is when you are completely relaxed, in a hypnotic state, that you can successfully release those fears forever.

One successful process of hypnosis that can be used for claustrophobics is disassociating negative thoughts from specific situations.  The trigger situation is more easily addressed and desensitized while the subject is in a hypnotic state and transformative ideas and images can be progressively added to the mix, and new memory associations can be stored in the subconscious causing a different reaction. In this way, the desensitization and removal of the impact of phobias, after only one hypnosis session, is often the normal when working with those who’ve experienced claustrophobia.

Social Anxiety is a challenge that greater numbers of people are suffering from each year and never do realize it.

Experiencing fear of social situations can range from mild nervousness that is barely noticeable to a completely paralyzing fear that prevents sufferers from enjoying happy and healthy lives, even if living with their friends and family.  In extreme cases, social anxiety can snowball into a disorder that keeps people trapped in their own homes all because of their fear, which is purely a deep emotional need to avoid talking to people they don’t know or trust. No matter if it’s a big or small fear, it causes people to avoid social situations, often making them miss out on opportunities for friendship and love.

Many reasons exist as to why people become anxiety ridden in social situations, whether they are big or small. But in the analysis most of the paranoia stems from a fear of being embarrassed while in public. It also can be related to an obsession with having to make a good impression on those they come into contact with.  In these situations, the body reacts to social anxiety in the same way that it reacts to any other fear; the heart speeds up, the blood vessels dilate, and the body may start to sweat. All of these nervous system reactions are those of the fight or flight response which occur when the brain sends out the very first signal; I AM AFRAID. It’s a stress anxiety disorder that’s easily treated.

Hypnosis can help with social anxiety starting at the core of the problem. By using hypnosis your brain can relearn a more positive way to react to social situations that once used to cause you anxiety. Instead of having to block fear based thoughts before they start and teaching the brain to cope with the symptoms. The experience gets transformed into one where you are in control and empowered.

Once you calm down your body, becoming a more social and sociable person is as easy as a few minutes a day of relaxing thought and focus. Using a self-hypnosis is the process where you’ll walk yourself through the steps and healthier social relationships, and self-confidence automatically an integral part of your life – and you are confident and dynamic — no matter how many people are in the room. Here’s how to make it work for you – starting this very moment: http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/confidence-issues/more-sociable-mp3

When trying to lose weight, one of the challenges that dieters often face is their own appetites. When dieting, inevitably appetite can only increase, because the lack of food in your diet will increase your appetite. Then, when you are off your diet, the increased appetite remains, and you overeat, leading you to re-gain even more weight than you had before you began the cycle of the diet ritual.

Hunger is the driving force for this common cycle. Hunger fuels this most powerful and motivating instinct humans and other animals experience. Our minds are wired in such a way that if we are hungry, hunger can overcome any other thought, emotion, or desire. Hunger is the signal for our most basic need for survival – food.

With dieting, the big challenge we face is often the timing of our appetite and its frequency. Because we are getting signals from our bodies indicating that it’s hungry does not mean it really needs food, or it is the right time to be eating. Signals of hunger can be changed to fit your weight loss needs through hypnosis.

Appetite is a cycle of behavior. We all grow accustomed to eating at specific times each day and at a certain frequency. Thus, our human bodies remind us with pangs of hunger should we miss out on or come really close to those eating times.

You can reset your internal clock and change your own feeding schedule with the use of a hypnosis mp3. It’s as simple as targeting access to the subconscious (which is like the internal machinery for dictating behavior and hence our appetite), and reprogramming it to eat at different times, reprogramming it to have reduced hunger and appetite, and many other positive suggestions, which help you lose weight and keep it off.

Through just a few simple hypnosis mp3 sessions, you’ll re-train your mind to be less hungry and also schedule your body to eat smaller portions and eat less frequently. The results are amazing and have been proven to demonstrate that you can reach your ideal weight in a matter of weeks rather than be stuck yo-yo dieting. To reduce your appetite, just click here:

Today it seems that everyone looks so exhausted, and many never seem to get quite enough sleep. We all know that we need at least six hours of sleep to feel good. Some people believe in the 888 theory of eight hours sleep, eight hours work, eight hours relaxing fun – but realistically, what planet do you live on? We need and deserve sleep and rest, but too many of us spend our days chained to the job. Then, we spend all night worrying if those chains are going to hold or break, or if we’re going to have to find a new ball and chain job soon and remain exhausted all the time.

Vacations seem to help temporarily for a week or two, until you get to the airport to fly home again. And luckily some people have perfected the art of the power nap. But for most of us, it’s almost impossible to try to sleep in the middle of the day (and all too often impossible to sleep well at night). It’s just so difficult to get back into the swing of things when we wake up half exhausted in the morning, and when we worry about things, and it’s hard to get anything going positively when we feel like the walking dead.

Didn’t you know that by using self hypnosis mp3’s you can – virtually automatically – get that much needed rest by achieving a level of deep restorative sleep easier and faster than you ever thought possible? It’s easy to train your brain to shut off all the extra noise and immediately fall into a deep level of sleep that allows your entire body and mind to rejuvenate while giving you the ability to wake up feeling totally refreshed and ready to take on the day.

If you are the kind of person who can’t find the shut off switch for your brain to get to sleep at night, or you’re the type of person who falls asleep the moment your head hits the pillow, but you don’t feel rested when you do awaken, listen up. You don’t have to feel tired any more. Hypnosis can help you shut down, recharge, and increase your performance energy levels.

Self hypnosis will take you through those steps that entrain your brain to serve your need to sleep best, and you need to awaken feeling refreshed – fresh as a daisy.  Using self-hypnosis, you can reset your internal clock so that whenever you need to get a power nap you are recharged for  30, 20 or even 10 minutes of needed rejuvenating sleep at any time you need.

Then, you can keep going a optimum performance level without ever burning out. Imagine waking up exactly when you want to, feeling refreshed and ready to go! You can do it by training your brain with hypnosis.
