Travis Barker joins the list of celebrities who have turned to Hypnosis to deal with their issues.

Blink-182 star Travis Barker is considering hypnotherapy in a desperate bid to overcome his fear of flying following a 2008 plane crash, which claimed the lives of two friends.

The drummer suffered severe burns as he stumbled out of a blazing jet which burst into flames after failing to take-off in South Carolina, and he spent months in recovery.

Three years later, he still refuses to fly anywhere and admits his phobia has become a big problem in his professional life.

He says, “Unfortunately I can’t do as much touring as I would like because I don’t fly. It’s an obstacle. I’m working on it though.

“I’m trying to get hypnotized, trying to talk to a doctor who retrains your brain. Maybe he’ll help me fly again one day.”

Smokers should be prepared to be confronted with graphic labels that will soon cover almost half of the cigarette packages. Images will be showing sickness and death; which is designed to evoke disgust and revulsion. Congress passed a law requiring tobacco makers to put graphic health warnings on cigarette packages. This month, the Food and Drug Administration (FDA) published nine labels, which will appear on cigarette packaging by the fall of 2012.

Americans today fully understand that smoking is unsafe but will these labels make a difference? Despite all the efforts to stop smoking, advertising, taxes, educational campaigns and smoking bans, nearly 50 million Americans continue to put themselves in harms way. The hope is that the nauseating photos on the cigarette packages will kill the urge.

I don’t know if graphic images will stop people but I do know that hypnotherapy works! Typically after 1 or 2 session of hypnosis my clients quit for good. What is interesting to me is that most smokers think it will be too hard for them to quit so they never really try. Once they have spent a couple hours with me their belief system around it being too difficult to quit seems to change and their behavior follows soon after. They find out that an urge only lasts 3 to 5 minutes and then that urge will run its course and pass. They find that quitting using hypnosis is an enjoyable way to become a non-smoker and they didn’t have to be grossed out to do it. The graphic pictures may work for a small percentage and I hope it does because dying of lung cancer is not something anyone wants to do!

It might be a good goal to stop smoking before the new packaging comes out. You can go to our website and see about a session or download a Smoking Cessation MP3.

Being addicted to Alcohol is something that most people do not recognize or acknowledge. However, there are some simple questions to ask yourself that will clue you in: 1. Do you have to have a drink every day, other than four oz. glass of red wine for your heart? 2. Do you crave a drink when you don’t have one?  3. Do you feel that you need it to make you feel better? 4. Does it already impact your health and your well-being?  5. Does it change your behavior?

Are you wondering about your answers? Do yourself a favor right now – You need to get a grip. Realize that you can feel great without alcohol consumption, and there is an easy way to limit your drinking while at the same time prevent backsliding (falling off the wagon).

Taking control of a drinking challenge can be easier when using hypnosis. It’s one of the most highly effective ways to address this challenge. Alcohol rehab facilities, with psychiatrists on staff, often implement hypnosis regimens to assist patients with reprogramming themselves to get a handle on their emotional instability while they work with fighting the addictive cravings.

Using hypnosis mp3’s allows anyone to overcome hurdles, and have breakthroughs by destroying the biggest obstacles that they bring to the table. Difficult cases have benefited from the use of hypnosis in rehabilitation programs because the focus can be put squarely on the symptoms and the emotional ones can be addressed as separate issues, as they indeed are.

Individuals have successfully used hypnosis mp3’s on their own to overcome alcoholism and the issues related to it.  Certainly, a great many people feel they have the endurance to use the mp3’s at home. In doing so, they can go on to live healthier lives. Physical and emotional improvement can be made through the use of hypnosis which circumvents the need to drink.  Often, people find that hypnosis creates the states of being they have really sought – when they drank, they hoped to have a certain calm, relaxed mind, no worries, and a light heart – but never achieved it. The majority of those using hypnosis reach those states naturally, and therefore, the need for alcohol disappears.

We all know what it feels like to be worried, to have something or someone weighing down on your mind.  As well as the frustration of being unable to find a way to let it go or let them go.  There are often times when we’re struggling with our options and our need to find a way to move past the worry, so that we can really identify the source(s) of the issue.  We need the clear mind to work out the best solution for everyone concerned. It’s hard to get to that place where we are sufficiently detached from the negative emotions of the troubles in order that we can be able to do that. Unfortunately, worry can become all encompassing and can drive our lives in the wrong direction.

When troubles and worry take control, people can become totally paralyzed by it. Sometimes it is love, other times it’s finance, but when troubles and worries aren’t mastered, these problems related to someone we deeply love can become a compulsion, or an obsession. More than just worrying, letting trouble take control of our lives is a situation that can seem like we are drowning in fear and that our problems now define us.

The simple and effective solution is to reprogram the way you think about your problems. Instead of allowing them to pile up and hold you down you have another option of using hypnosis to refocus your thoughts and actions and effectively transform the problems to easy challenges, or even better, to opportunities for personal growth. With a mindset like that and hypnosis to guide your path to solutions intuitively coming to you –  it is easy to solve those problems and leave your troubles behind!

Hypnosis takes you step by step toward relaxation and on the way teaches you how to program your brain to react differently to everything you’ve struggled with. In a deep state of relaxation, your brain can hear and process information in a very different way. The benefits of hypnosis aren’t only relaxing or training your brain to release worries. It goes much further than that. Hypnosis can allow you to search the subconscious for catalogued ways of handling stress and process all of your troubles so that you can find solutions faster and more efficiently.

Living with stress is common for most people in this day and age. We all have stress in our lives due to personal relationships and finances; we have stress related to our jobs and our children. And, boy do we get stressed just driving in traffic back and forth to work. The result of this commonplace environmental stress is that it piles up on us, and it builds to the point that we can’t tolerate it any more.

Sometimes it can be really tough getting out there and meeting women. You might see someone attractive across the room and really want to ask her out but you lack the confidence to do anything about it. You even make eye contact you and she smiles. You look at the floor, make some excuse to your guy friends and make your way out the nearest exit. Your palms are sweaty, you feel your heartbeat rapidly through your entire body and you feel that your heart is stuck in your throat. You might feel a little sick to your stomach, while at the same time kicking yourself that you lack confidence to be with women.

Women may even find you attractive, and you might even be dating, but it always ends the same way. You feel like you are not smart enough, not good looking enough, and not good enough for them. The result is that you can’t maintain a long lasting or meaningful relationship; and it’s all because of your weak self confidence around women. You find yourself sabotaging relationships and feel helpless when you are dating.

Logically you know that you have a lot to offer in a relationship with a woman, but emotionally you are a mess. When things seem to be going good you begin overanalyzing everything and coming up with reasons why you should end the relationship. It might defy logic but you have a tough time managing those thoughts and feelings.

The answer to improving your confidence is hypnosis mp3’s. You can program your mind in two important ways. First you can become relaxed when you are in a woman’s presence. You’ll no longer feel like running away or avoiding contact with them. Secondly, you can boost your confidence with women.

Women want a man who is confident. When you are confident women flock to you. The way you talk, act, and think will all be enhanced and you’ll have the confidence to ask a woman out and more importantly you’ll find that you’ll be able to maintain long term relationships because you have con-fidence in yourself and what you have to offer a woman. You’ll never be alone on a Saturday night again. Check out: http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/men-issues/confidence-with-women-mp3

Over the past 20 years the field of sports psychology has grown and increasing numbers of teen athletes are being brought by their parents for hypnosis, to help their child focus and raise their performance level.

It’s no different than a pro having a personal trainer. The hard-to-break stereotype that hypnosis carries with it keeps people from finding out what a useful tool it can be. Hypnotherapy is a useful tool not only the typical issues that are associated with it like Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss but in helping athletes to become the best they can be at their sport. Visualization can be an extremely powerful tool and in a hypnosis session the client visualizes and practices in their mind doing their sport and various motor skills perfectly, until they feel more confident, able to overcome fear and experience lower anxiety levels. When the time comes to perform they have done the mental rehearsal in their mind so many times that they just go on auto pilot and the results are amazing! I have worked with many athletes and found that whether it is golf, skiing, or even dog sled racing, all athletes need to work on their anxiety levels, concentration, motivation, and self-confidence, as well as strengthening the neural patterns in the brain through mental rehearsal. There are so many factors to consider, stress levels, pressure, sleep patterns, mental attitude, diet, etc.

With my clients I include, yoga breathing techniques, power breathing, relaxation exercises, as well as I help to mitigate the effects of distracting psychological factors. After all the work is done I set a post hypnotic suggestion so that all they need to do is touch their shoulder or say a word and all the mental skills come back to them in an instant.

I have athletes calling me and saying that they won this race or that one and attributing it to the work we have done together. Its fun, I really enjoy this kind of work!

Sometimes thinking about interviews can be really nerve-racking. Of course, you want to do your best, but sometimes when you are nervous, really stressed, you just can’t be at your best. Quite often, that can mean not getting that job you really want. You might be up nights worrying about an upcoming interview and this means sleeplessness, and you can be worn-out and exhausted even before you sit down for the interview. That just doesn’t work.

You could be absolutely terrified at an interview. Your heart might be racing, and you could be so afraid they won’t like you, that you can’t get the right words out. You find that you freeze up when the interviewer asks you questions, and at times you might feel sick at your stomach or want to end the interview to run to the bathroom.

A cycle begins to occur in which you are worried about getting a job, and then because you are so stressed out you bomb on the interview and hence reinforce the idea that you are not going to get a job and that you are bad at job interviews.

You can overcome these negative states of mind and break the cycle of job interview stress. It is about shifting you minds focus and perspective. If you believe that you will succeed and you will do great at a job interview, then you will increase the likelihood that you will achieve your goal of being hired. If you continue to imagine that you will do horrible at a job interview then that is the reality that you will actually create.

Through the use of hypnosis mp3’s you can get rid of the job interview jitters forever. You can reprogram your mind to be relaxed and confident from the time you walk into the building for the interview, shake the interviewers hand and sit down, until the time you leave with the knowledge that you will get the job. Hypnosis is a fear eraser; you have to experience to totally appreciate it. http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/personal-growth/confident-job-interview-mp3

Tired of being like a yoyo with your weight – up and down with the times?
Learn to control your weight, lose weight by controlling your appetite.

Controlling the cravings that keep you overeating isn’t always easy, and with those cravings you might think it’s impossible to lose weight … but you would be wrong. Imagine what could happen if you could eliminate all cravings and eat only when you get body signals to feed the machine for its operation. Can you imagine that?

Cravings for food tend to be emotional and psychological and have little to do with physiological hunger to feed the body (your biochemical machine) to survive. Diet programs that control what, when, where you eat fail if you have cravings. Cravings win in the end because they require you to use willpower to stop them. And willpower doesn’t work.

You could simply reduce food intake, and stay on a controlled dietary intake program, you’d lose weight most certainly – with a plan that you like which has validity to it, and feeds your machine the nutrients it needs. If you like the program over a prolonged period – it will work for you because you’re psyched about it.

Watch out when you go off to the diet, you often will gain all the weight right back, plus more if you don’t have a maintenance plan in place! But, diets alone don’t work. Diets with extensive controls do not help control or reduce cravings and people will simply begin to regain weight.

People who have long-term issues with weight, are hard to motivate toward lifestyle change to eliminate the effects of long-term obesity. If they don’t find alternatives – the medical consequences are devastating. Doctors and surgeons have several approaches: special diets, exercises, and then – pills, pills, pills … pills for appetite control, pills to block fats, pills to build energy or the immune system, pills for this, and pills for that, and then if that doesn’t work, surgery for this, and for that – until finally they are either stapling your stomach or installing a gastric lap band. If you go that route, you have my prayers.

Medications that are prescribed as part of a self-help weight loss program can damage the heart or lungs and many have been banned because some previous patients have required heart or lung transplants from taking these medicines.

Fad diets, often cause rapid weight loss by disturbing the balances of the body, making it shed excess water needed for the muscular system and organs. Later in life nutritional deficiencies and organic failure occurs to rapid weight loss dieters.

Body reshaping exercise can be used as a weight loss strategy, there are issues with exercise where it’s misused and can damage the body. When you exercise strenuously in endurance training often the body goes into an anaerobic metabolism and stops normal calories burning, because the metabolism slows down to retain as much energy as possible.

Those who are overweight struggle with unconscious eating issues and controlling their appetites. The most effective way to overcome craving is through the use of hypnosis and self-hypnosis audio programs. Hypnosis focuses on is the unconscious craving issues allowing you to lose weight without using willpower – and you’ll keep it off!  Unlike other therapies designed to suppress the appetite, hypnosis is inexpensive. One of the least costly ways to reap the benefits of this hypnosis for cravings, is to click here http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/eating-disorders

I am not going to be the Whistleblower, and therefore I steadfastly refuse to be the one to tell you that smoking will kill you. After all, hasn’t the Tobacco Industry shown you all kinds of cool images, saying you’re in Marlboro Country and that’s cool to be here? Wait, the Marlboro Man died long ago from some horrid form of cancer, and isn’t around to enjoy it. Maybe Marlboro Country isn’t the place to be.

And, the tobacco companies show you South Pacific beaches or snowy Colorado mountains with skiers with menthol cigarettes to show you how really KOOL it can get. But in reality, if you smoke that stick, you’re in for a life sentence. We all know it, we all know someone who has or is suffering from it, and man – it’s addictive and you can’t stop without help. And, here’s the help you need to stop right now.

First, listen to this: While traveling abroad I found that the medical community outside the US took a more severe approach to the health threats of tobacco and printed pictures of tombstones, dead fetuses, and things like that on the cigarette pack itself, often on the flip top lid. Now, that’s scary.

Not the pictures themselves, although they are scary enough, but that someone who had a pack of cigarettes would take them out of their pocket and lift the hinged box lid which had some awful picture on it, and would take out a cigarette and see the picture and put the cigarette in their mouth and light it, and would close the box top, see the picture again and put in back in their pocket and start smoking. That’s really scary to me.

But, when you come to dollars and sense about it – gee, there are some great alternatives to the costs of smoking and perhaps you didn’t realize it. A person who smokes a pack a day is wasting about $1500 up just on cigarettes and lighters. Now, their insurance costs for health and life insured goes up considerably for the early years, health insurance is just like 15% more, after 40 the numbers really rack up, and by the time you compute how much health and life insurance cost, figure your annual cigarette cost is just unbelievably high until about 40 and from there it all depends what vile form of sickness the inhaling of poison causes, it could raise in your final years to hundreds of thousands of dollars per year, just the price of needless suffering, instead of enjoying that beach that the cigarette companies promise you.

How would you like to have a different reality? Well, you can and I’ll help you. How about taking a Journey Inward with me, and later really enjoy a week on Maui, or Bali, or a Beach in South East Asia, or anywhere in the world you want instead for the money you saved for not smoking for a year. You can do it!

And what is the value of a week vacation ……. a major reduction in the stress that kept you smoking. And you’ll avoid years of health miseries by STOPPING SMOKING. You want to know the secret – come visit the world of  http://journeysinwardhypnotherapy.com/mp3/addictions/smoking-cessation-hypnotherapy and just close your eyes, draw in a deep breath, and listen to the audio along with me. You’ll relax and before you know it, your own subconscious will be reprogrammed to be FREE and YOU will be FREE from smoking quickly. So, then … save your money and I’ll meet you at the beach.

Once and a while I’ll see a client that I haven’t seen for a long time. When I ask them how their smoking issue is coming along, surprisingly many times they tell me that their cravings are so diminished that they actually forget to smoke. Many of these clients have smoked for most of their lives and they thought that it would be impossible for them to stop. Often after just the first two sessions my clients come back for their next session saying that it is so much easier to be smoke free, than they suspected.

Hypnosis can help smokers quit by addressing the problem at a subconscious level. You can re-frame your thinking so that you no longer crave cigarettes. In fact, hypnotic suggestions can make cigarettes completely undesirable. Instead of wanting them, you will want to avoid them.

Smoking is like a best friend to those who smoke, it is always there, always available when you need it. Isn’t it interesting that after 30 years of a daily habit that one day you could just stop it, just like that. It amazed me too when I just started my practice!

My feeling is that people are afraid to be without their best friend, they have depended on them for so many years, many since their teen age years when friends are so important. They are not sure they can live without them. It takes some “change work” in their minds, but very quickly they realize that cigarettes were not their friend at all in fact just the opposite. Clients also tell me that it is a way for them to take a break from their day, a way to connect with other smokers on their lunch break. It makes them instantly part of a club. Maybe there is the fear of changing your friends and the places you are used to going, although there is hardly anywhere that you can go and smoke these days.

When I ask people what they really like about smoking it seems those were the two responses I get most. I guess it is important to think about that a little. Are you are depending on a best friend that really isn’t a best friend at all. A friend that won’t be there for you in the hospital to hold your hand or comfort you when you really need them? If it’s a break you need why not just go outside and breathe! Take 3 long deep breaths and remind yourself, when you are doing it, why you are quitting smoking. I have many breathing techniques that I teach my clients, to replace that break with cigarettes that they think they need. Just take your break like you normally would but call it a breathing break instead of a smoking break. We all need a break. We don’t need to fill our lungs with smoke and poisons, just to take a break. Think about it!
