  • Why You Should Pursue Happiness TODAY – NOW!

    I was talking to a friend yesterday who is going through a lot of stress and she basically was telling me how unhappy she felt. I noticed that she kept referring to when this happens I will be… If that happens I will be… In other words happiness would happen at some time in the future given certain conditions. As I was talking to her I recalled that I had a book on the subject that had helped me enormously when I was going through a similar period myself. […]

  • Strange – We Love Positive People And Yet Consume Negative Media

    My wife Barbara is a Health Visitor and some time ago attended a series of NHS training sessions given by a guy called Chris Croft. As a result I often see laying around the house printouts from the his newsletter which I always find fascinating reading. Now – I don’t know Chris (if you don’t count seeing him playing in a group once) but I feel as though I do.

  • Self-Hypnosis, A Tooth Extraction And Parking Ticket

    I had quite a surprising and amazing experience last week. This is a story I know Adam Eason will be interested in. I have helped produce a lot of Adam’s products (MP3 Self-Hypnosis Audio downloads) and set them up on his website. As a result – despite no knowledge of self-hypnosis originally I got to […]

  • Get Motivated And Be A Green Shoot Of Recovery

    With so much gloom and doom about and a collective International mindset shaped by negative media coverage of events is it any wonder that individuals lack confidence.  All this negative reporting becomes just a self-fulfilling prophecy. It is now down to individuals to buck the trend and prosper because everyone else is falling in the […]

  • No Pain Binocular Research Not A Surprise To Hypnotherapists

    Time and time again Hypnotherapists must be saying – “It’s not news to me”.  When will researchers latch onto the fact that using the natural power of the mind and imagination can really bring about physical changes?   When will researchers begin to take self-hypnosis seriously and give the therapy the attention it deserves?

  • Say No No To Negative Thinking For High Self Esteem

    I could have let yesterday knock me for six but far from it, as nowadays I turn all adversity into a positive somehow.   Yes it was a challenging day – but most of what happened to me (not worth going into and anyway I don’t want to dwell on all that stuff) was far outside […]

  • My Sub 1 Minute 100 Metres Swim At Age Of 60

    I was exhausted but happy – 57.79 secs of extreme effort had resulted in me smashing finally that 1 minute barrier for 100 metres freestyle swim.  My start was sharp, my turns were fast and furious,  I was beating my arch rival in the next lane and I swam in hard.  I knew I had […]

  • Worry Free Zone Here – Thank Goodness For Entrepreneurs

    Welcome to a worry free zone – at least I am making every effort and surrounding myself with positive people. Adam Eason in his weekly Adam Up Ezine throughout September has been writing about ‘worry’ and how to avoid it or at least keep it in check.  And now today a favourite person of mine […]

  • Noise – What Noise?

    Adam Eason wrote on an interesting posting on his blog a couple of days ago about noise and how it can affect your health.  The thing that I find most fascinating is the fact that some people adapt to different levels and types of noise quite easily whereas other people don’t. Adam himself describes how […]

  • Habits To Keep Thrills Alive All Your Life

    Why do the majority of people lose the joy of living that they displayed in our youth? Is there a reason that there are so many grumpy old men? Are the depressing lyrics of John Mellencamp’s song Jack and Diane a reality for most? – “Oh, life goes on, long after the thrill of living […]

  • Bed Sharing Leads To Disturbed Sleep

    For a variety of reasons I have recently found myself talking about sleep.  Only this morning my wife Babs said as I arrived with her cup of tea in bed (aren’t you impressed?)  – greeted me with “Oh I didn’t hear the alarm go off!” She basically doesn’t need to as I get up to […]

  • Will Olympic Fitness Splurge Be Maintained?

    Here in the UK we are experiencing a January type fitness splurge because of our unexpected success at the Olympics.  At a time when most retailers are reporting a downturn in trade, sales of sports equipment has doubled. Bike sales have gone up by 130 percent and swimsuits and goggles by 135 percent. Unfortunately we […]

  • This Is Why The Power Of Hypnosis Gives Me A Buzz

    I refuse to be on the defensive – even to my Christian friends – about my passion for and close involvement with getting the word out about the remarkable power of hypnosis.  I am absolutely delighted to be in business with Adam Eason promoting his hypnotherapy products.  As a result of the association I am […]

  • Is There A Stereo-Typical Student? – I Think Not

    Wow – it is hard to keep up with blogging sometimes.  During this very busy August when my kids are home from University and school – when family and friends are visiting –  it is hard to work as efficiently as normal.  However on the plus side there is so much happening that makes great […]

  • I Back This Back Pain Solution

    About this time last year I was camping, and not for the first time in my life I simply bent down to pick something up and my back locked.  Now camping is not the best activity on earth to be doing if you are doubled up in pain and hardly able to move.  With my […]

  • Aussie GPs To Be Trained In Alternative Therapies? – GDay

    I was delighted to read that a medical training school for GPs in Australia is throwing off the blinkers and introducing into their curriculum, education about alternative therapies. “Areas of interest will include mind-body medicine such as hypnosis and meditation, evidence-based nutritional and environmental medicine and evidence-based herbal medicine,”

  • Hypnosis Helped Me Through My Hairy Ride

    Working alongside Adam Eason I do get to try out as many of his hypnosis products as I like.  In fact I listen to some that I don’t need as I feel it is imperative if you are to market something to know intimately what you are selling.  (I can’t ever believe I will need […]

  • Some Of My Christian Friends Think Hypnosis Is Evil – But Why? Part 2

    Let me revisit the question on a Christian Blog that prompted me to articulate my views about the role of hypnosis as delivered in clinical hypnotherapy. The question was:

  • Some Of My Christian Friends Think Hypnosis Is Evil – But Why? Part 1

    I am a Christian, with a background of Nursing for most of my adult life and now working in partnership with a Clinical Hypnotherapist Adam Eason selling a large range of self-hypnosis products. This is the backdrop to this article which I have been intending to write for some time. I have finally been nudged […]

  • Memories Of A Headteachers Daughter And Her Wiggly Bum

    Some years ago now in my profile on Ecademy (internet business networking site) I wrote this: EARLY YEARS Primary School, St Andrews, Halstead, Essex. Apologies to Jennifer (headmasters daughter) for sticking your plaits in the ink well so that it swung like a pendulum painting arcs on your shirt. Earls Colne Grammar School All boys […]
