Weight loss and why wellerassociates hypnotherapy is so effective.

Weight loss for some can be eternal. Why? Each new diet or new re-cycled diet offers the same. If you look a word diet first 3 letters are DIE.
Unfortunately all these diets work on the starvation principle of some sort, and drastically reduced calories. Or by eating solid protein, to living off a boring liquid diet. None of them address the relationship to food, which is a lifetime one.

Diets slow down the metabolism after 4 days the body shuts down and goes into starvation made protecting the very calories you are trying to loose.

Metabolism slows right down. When you start eating again the weight piles back on and with an almost wrecked metabolism the pounds pile back on.

Anybody been there before?

Dieticians and so called experts do not tell you that the body likes and needs good old fat, it serves a useful propose. Supplies us with a food store in times of starvation and keeps us warm. Unlike muscle, which is cosmetic, and burns off calories.

The subconscious mind still acts as if we were in the cave.

Diets do not address this in any way shape or form. The key is to work with the body. The body will accept weight loss of 2lbs a week. Any more is fluid and muscle tissue. If the weight is lost slowly it will stay off. Therefore no more yo-yo effect.

And another cycle of dieting with the latest wonder diet.

Working with the body is the key.

Everybody knows what he or she should and should not eat. The key is feeling good about going it.

Unfortunately we live in an age of easy and instant with miracle diets offering absurd amounts of weight loss in a matter of days or weeks. We have helped clients to lose weight who have tried every diet under the sun. Always the same.

My weight loss Hypnotherapy programme is a process whereby you can work with the body and feel good about doing the things that you know you should be doing. Once you are into a rhythm the weight comes off, slowly, naturally, and safely and stays off.Goodbye to diets forever.

Psychologically you feel good, as long lost confidence in your ability to lose weight returns as you have finally found something that works

You lose weight once not a hundred times!!

We have also developed  a 6 module weight loss coaching programme for those of you that would like a more "coachy" approach to your weight loss goals as well.This package can be bought direct from us for £50.It is a interactive programme and we welcome questions.Each module is sent weekly.

Some feedback

I am passing Sam `s details on to all my clients.

Dear Sam,
After trying many varied diets, clubs and gyms in order to lose weight, I finally found the secret of achieving weight loss, and this was by using hypnotictracks for weight loss.

After only two weeks of using the ‘hypnotic tracks ‘ weight loss download,I have successfully lost 11 lbs.

Although in the beginning I was unsure as to whether a download would work, I can say hand on heart this has really worked for me, I feel more confident, younger and comfortable in my skin.

I would like to keep my method of losing weight a secret so all my girl friends envy me, but I feel so positive that I will be singing the praises of your weight loss download and telling all of my friends that hypnotictracks really does work.Plus I really appreciate the ongoing online back up programme, which has meant I have continued to loose weight.
Many thanks from a confident, happy, healthy woman.

Right brain coaching

The word “Hypnotherapy” spells out visions of being “under” and “in therapy”.
As a practising full time hypnotherapist of 21 years neither term in the real world applies.

Right brain coaching is a much more accurate description of the work you do. Using relaxation techniques to confuse, bypass, and relax the conscious mind in order to access the subconscious.

We access the subconscious mind every day but in a random manner.
If you drive, read a book, watch a film, or become emotional then you leaving the subconscious mind (right side of the brain wide open).

Hypnotherapy takes this a stage further by accessing the right side of the brain to achieve results for fee-paying clients.
This enables feelings to be realigned to a much more powerful sate.
Or in other words give you an edge.

The subconscious mind reacts very differently to the conscious mind. Therefore by employing purely cognitive approach you may listen and agree however your feelings don’t change.

If feelings are pitted against will power then will power comes second.
A skilled hypnotherapist will know how to set the framework to help a client achieve a particular objective. That objective can be anything the clients choose.

Should pregnant women be subjected to testing to see if they smoke?

As a clinical hypnotherapist who has helped smokers over many years I am not certain that testing pregnant women will achieve at a practical level. Smokers become non-smokers as part of what we call “readiness for change”. A strong desire must been in place for hypnotherapeutic techniques or any other for that matter to work.

The desire factor to be a non-smoker is all-important without that then a smoker will invariably stay a smoker or start again.
Many factors make up “readiness for change”, such as health, cost of smoking, concerns regarding the example given to children, or pregnancy.
Once a person has decided to become a non-smoker then that is where a hypnotherapist comes in. I use the term non-smoker, as just stopping smoking is not enough.

Testing pregnant women to see if they are still smoking and encouraging them to stop is well meaning but in my opinion somewhat misguided.
It is far better to educate and encourage rather than subject to tests.
A good example is the UK smoking ban. Many smokers continued out of sheer defiance or at work smoked “underground”. In my experience it had little impact on those wanting to be a non-smoker. At best it might have been part of the stop smoking equation.

Stress and anxiety are the biggest reasons why people smoke or go back to smoking. More attention should be directed to this area. I would rather see initiatives based around teaching pregnant women how to relax as an alternative to smoking.
For some people a few smokes a day may be the only chance they have to relax.
To conclude education is a far more effective tool than subjecting pregnant women to tests.

Hypnotherapy helps dementia sufferers, claims study

Research from the University of Liverpool has found that hypnotherapy can help those suffering from dementia retain and improve their quality of life.

The Daily Mail reports that forensic psychologist Dr Simon Duff investigated the effects of hypnosis therapy on dementia sufferers in comparison with conventional health-care methods, as well as in comparison to group therapy. According to his research, hypnotherapy helped dementia sufferers retain their mental faculties in comparison with those who received standard treatment.

According to Dr Duff, "those having regular hypnosis sessions showed real improvement across all of the areas that we looked at [whilst] the group who received 'treatment as usual' showed a small decline over the assessment period."

He says that dementia sufferers who received hypnotherapy showed an improvement in concentration, memory, socialisation, relaxation, motivation and daily living activities.

"Participants who are aware of the onset of dementia may become depressed and anxious at their gradual loss of cognitive ability," said Dr Duff, adding that hypnotherapy could help sufferers relax so that they can concentrate on positive activities. The Daily Mail reports that Dr Duff is now conducting further research into how hypnotherapy can help treat dementia patients to establish how effective it is in the long term, particularly as the illness progresses.

wellerassociates launch stress management programme for UK carers in conjuction with Guideposts Trust

Stress help for Carers
http://www.dementiaweb.org.uk/carers-stress-management.php
No matter how deeply you care for the person you are caring for, the fact is being a carer is stressful. Stress is damaging in the long term because it can lead to illness, depression and exhaustion. You may feel you are coping with your caring role, however there may come a time when you experience higher than normal levels of stress.

To enable you to continue your caring role effectively and also to ensure your own health does not suffer it is important to be able to deal with stress in a practical and easily applied way.

Whether the person you provide care for has a mental or physical disability makes very little difference, it is the continual and constant having to care for them that can be so physically and emotionally draining. This may lead to an inability to break a smoking habit. Click here to stop smoking.

Why does a carer become stressed?
The cause of your carer stress might be complex. You could be worried about the health of the person you love and care for, or the attitudes of other members of the family. You may well feel guilty about the way you feel sometimes.

Stress can potentially put a strain on relationship due to the continual stress experienced by the carer and possibly the perceived lack of support from the partner. Lack of support and feeling totally isolated in your role a carer can all play a part in making you feel worse. Carers have to maintain relationships with other people outside the home.

Stress may also be the reason why your weight may fluctuate due to your relationship with food. Click here for weight loss.

Common feelings to carers
The pressure of being a carer may lead to anger and a feeling of a loss of control. This can be very damaging. Sometimes it can be very hard to cope with these feelings as well as having to care for someone. You may well feel guilty for feelings of anger towards the person you are caring for.

Stress symptoms
As a carer you may not have the time to think about how you are coping and how you are feeling. Symptoms of stress include irritability and generally feeling more emotionally drained and perhaps tearful, lack of appetite or perhaps eating too much and putting on weight. Not being able to sleep or waking up early. General feelings of feeling anxiety. A suppressed immune system can mean, more virus infections than usual, lack of energy, short temper and raised blood pressure.

You might feel isolated, pessimistic and almost overwhelmed as a carer. All these raw emotions create stress. When your body is stressed you have more stress hormone called cortisol in your body. If levels of cortisol are too high for too long then blood pressure goes up, digestion is suppressed causing stomach problems and sleep is driven out. Stress is not only harmful to your health and well-being, it can also damage your relationships, so it's vital to identify the causes of stress and be able to tackle them as soon as possible in a practical and cost effective manner.

Stress and the cure
If you are a carer for someone else then chances are you are neglecting your own needs to some extent. You have needs for:

•To be able to relax.
•Quality sleep and rest.
•Quality relationships.
•Feeling safe and secure.
•A sense of connection to your family and community.
•Be able to enjoy yourself.
•Achieving your own goals in life.

Your caring role may prevent you getting some of your needs being met. Being able to relax is so important. When you relax your stress hormone levels level out, your blood pressure becomes normal and your immune system works better.

To enable you to feel relaxed and cope as a carer Wellerassociates working in partnership with Guideposts Trust have produced a range of MP3s and CDs.

50% of any income generated goes back to the Trust to support Guideposts charity work.

All you have to do is sit back and listen in the comfort of your own home at a time of your choosing.

A comprehensive stress management online support programmes will also be included as part of the overall stress management package for carers. Including all the latest stress management techniques, as well as the well established ones.

Hypnotherapy has long been used to help reduce stress levels and anxiety. You will be able to relax, refresh and recharge every step of the way.

Sam Weller who has devised the programme has been a hypnotherapist since 1989,with extensive experience of stress management. As part of his working arrangement with Guideposts Trust Sam will be accessible in person to answer your questions and provide an ongoing counselling and support service when ever needed, and for as long as needed.

Sam is available for 1to1 hypnotherapy at the carers Nuneaton Café and has worked extensively within the Guidepost Trust Regions running stress management courses for staff.

“Sam’s experience in sales and proactive marketing was a helpful tool in the training as it gave a real insight into how a therapist can develop quickly and what is effective at securing clients. He also has a vast knowledge of different techniques which were brought in when relevant to the training.

Sam was personable and enjoyable to work with. I didn’t feel I was being ‘trained’ I felt as if he was helping me to learn. Too many people cannot connect with their classes and talk at the students, with Sam it was very much a synchronised effort to learn the knowledge and I felt that they really cared about my qualification”.

Oxford Utd Football Club

I have been asked many times over the years about my involvement with Oxford Utd football club during the 2005/06 season. It was not a secret; neither did I advertise it either. So here is what happened.
My work with them came about via an introduction from Dave Beesley of B-Line to the club secretary Mick Brown.
Mick introduced me to Brian Talbot the manager and ex-England midfield player.
The next step was an address to the first team squad and 10 of the players stepped forward wishing to be involved.
The players were very professional and straightforward to work with, and during the period 2 wins and 2 draws were achieved.

The techniques employed had to be modified to work around Monday’s training day with individual sessions for each player. These had to be shortened so that the last players to be seen were not hanging around too long. I decided against group sessions

However as the club was at the foot of the table to begin with this was not enough for the chairman Kassam,and Brian was sacked to be replaced by Darren Patterson, who was replaced days later with a fanfare of balloons and dancing girls by Oxford Utd legend Jim Smith and new Chairman Nick Merry.
Neither understood the importance of mental preparation, my involvement ceased, and unfortunately the team was relegated to the Conference and lost its league status.
Both later stepped down.
The club have since returned to the league guided by new manager Chris Wilder.

Working with the club though was a great experience.

I leave you with comments from long serving goalkeeper Billy Turley

“I have worked with Sam on a 121 basis when he was mental preparation coach at the club, earlier this year.
I have found his techniques to be effective and therefore have downloaded all the tracks from the Sport Achievement section.
I cannot say just how beneficial the tracks have been to me this season”.

wellerassociates group cashback

The wellerassociates group will be introducing a new website this summer to facilitate cash back purchases for online buyers.
Sam Weller group leader say
"This has been something that I have wanted to do for a while. Unfortunatley we did not have the quality of personnel neccessary in place last year to execute this. This has now changed.
Wellerassociate have undergone some fundamental changes with talented professionals now able to take the group to where it wants to go. Exciting developments with video streaming, online stress management packages, training and now cash backs.
I am extremely excited about the future of the group and what the potential is for us as a group to expand."

Testimonial received 16th April 2010

HI Sam, you may remember my visiting you last year around May and June time as i was getting concerned about some wedding nerves before my wedding in July. I am the teacher from Didcot girls school.

Well, i remember saying i would send you a quick line after the wedding and honeymoon to let you know how it all went and only today did i notice the letter i wrote to you is still on my computer and all this time i thought i'd sent it. It's a bit late now but nevertheless it's only fair to let you know that all went very well and i felt perfectly relaxed and enjoyed the day as a result. I can't tell you how impressed i was with the effect the sessions had on me.

So albeit a bit late, thanks again for your help and i'll certainly keep you in mind should i, or someone i know, need similar help in the confidence area.

All the best.
Cheers. Jason.(Burns)

Some comments

“Sam Weller's soothing voice takes you through a quick hypnotic induction into a countdown to relaxation.
It's very easy to follow Sam's guided technique, to relax body and mind and go with the flow.
The body is relaxed from the toes upward and I was pleasantly surprised when I felt a slight tingling in my fingers as I relaxed more deeply.
All tensions gradually faded away and I felt a sense of mental calm and a lightness as each body part loosened. As the relaxation deepened, I went down a plush carpeted stairway, which I was able to visualise and feel under my feet with ease.
The suggestions as I was in my place of deep relaxation helped me to forget and let go of any worries and allow my subconscious mind to boost confidence in all areas of my daily life. A very comfortable, enjoyable and relaxing experience".

hypnotherapy sessions and what to expect

Before any hypnotherapy starts we normally discuss with the clients what they require, fees charged and number of sessions required. Everything spoken is confirmed in writing with a terms of business sent by email, including directions to the practise and where to park.

At the first hypnotherapy session the client’s requirements are discussed in detail. Before any induction starts a full and comprehensive explanation of the techniques to be employed will be explained. This is essential for the client to fully understand what is happening and why, thus allowing them to have confidence in the process and relax.

After the session a full and comprehensive debrief is undertaken so the clients knows that trance state was engaged and communication with the subconscious mind did take place. This is important for the follow up session whereby clients usually go much deeper into trance thus enjoying the quality relaxation and allowing greater access to the subconscious.
Technique not mystique being the order of the day.

A hypnotherapy CD/MP3 is also provided as back up, and for weight loss clients a weight loss guide.

Sessions are usually held at weekly intervals, which works best. The subconscious mind loves repetition and simple, direct and clean language delivered by a professionally trained hypnotic voice. This allied to a strong desire factor for readiness for change can achieve great results.

why choose wellerassociates for your hypnotherapy training?

Having spent 20 years as a hypnotherapist and running a full time business. You learn what works and what does not. Too many courses in my opinion try to train hypnotherapists to be psychologists and whatever.
The danger being "Jack-of-all-trades and masters of none".
This route takes them outside of established skills sets.

Hypnotherapy is a practical profession built on results. Key to this is building a successful practise so your skill levels are at the highest levels possible. This only happens with successful outcomes.
Little point in being trained to a high standard theoretically then not being able to use it.
Our training therefore has a very practical focus.

Clients use and pay hypnotherapists in my experience of a few thousand hours or more for stop smoking, weight loss, anxiety cures,and anxiety based (phobias,stress,IBS etc)

If they did not need us they would not use us.
My training schools underpin the training by 3 months of coaching back up. We show you how to run a practise and then take hands on approach to help them do it. Neither do we charge extra for it.
Real world.

You do not need a degree to be a successful hypnotherapist, but you do need common sense and the ability to build report with your client. Without that you cannot communicate with the subconscious(this sets us apart from other therapies) and fulfil what they are paying you for. So rapport building is key.

Most purely psychology based work tends to go elsewhere, clients come to hypnotherapy when all else fails.
So lets just train and practise professionally,ethically, and effectively, results driven, getting the best results for clients,without pretending to be what we are not.

Hypnosis and sex

Hypnotherapy is a very powerful form of complete relaxation which helps programme the subconscious mind to both unblock stagnant feelings and achieve your true sexual potential.


A common, effective use of hypnotherapy is to lower your anxiety.

The anticipation of failure (particularly for men anxious about their ability to have or to maintain an erection) brings on feelings of anxiety.

This in turn brings about the pressure to perform and failure. Hypnotherapy ends this vicious circle and replaces the anticipation of failure with the certainty of sexual success and sexual confidence.

Sexual enhancement therapy methods are more readily accepted by someone when in hypnosis because the conscious, judgmental, analytical part of the mind is temporarily set aside. The subconscious then absorbs the new, positive messages being by the hypnotherapist to create.

Precisely because hypnosis taps into the autonomic nervous system, a person can use it to improve or alter functions that normally happen without conscious control, e.g., a man's erection.

Hypnotictracks feedback

Hi Sam,

Thanks for the quick reply, I'll certainly try it tonight.
The track definitely helped over the last few months - I bought it at a time when I was thinking of giving up learning because I just couldn't seem to relax enough to listen to my instructor and it really helped with that. Obviously, since I've put in for my test! I downloaded the driving test track because of the success I had with the weight loss one :)

I've been recommending the site/tracks to friends of mine and have no problem doing the same to others!

Thanks again for your reply,
Georgina

“Sam’s experience in sales and proactive marketing was a helpful tool in the training as it gave a real insight into how a therapist can develop quickly and what is effective at securing clients. He also has a vast knowledge of different techniques which were brought in when relevant to the training.

Sam was personable and enjoyable to work with. I didn’t feel I was being ‘trained’ I felt as if he was helping me to learn. Too many people cannot connect with their classes and talk at the students, with Sam it was very much a synchronised effort to learn the knowledge and I felt that they really cared about my qualification”.

Anxiety

Anxiety underpins most if not all of the work you do as a hypnotherapist. Anxiety is free range, people feel anxious about being anxious, and anxious if they are not anxious, so that the anxiety returns and everything is then back to “normal”.
I call it anxiety syndrome. Many may not even understand why they are feeling anxious.

The anxiety track can break that habit and reverse the negative downward spiral. This track works well with relaxation and confidence.

Anxiety can drain you of energy; you always feel tired, so increased energy and relief of tiredness were devised to counter this.

Side effects of stress and anxiety include the need to move from pain to pleasure so people may eat more, so there is a need to eat less by realigning the relationship to food. Without feeling as if you are on a diet. Some may lose weight instead.

Many find breaking a smoking habit more difficult.

Anxiety may be caused by having to engage in public speaking when you have never done this before or you may have a fear of flying.

If you have any questions regarding anxiety please feel free to contact me.

regulation of hypnotherapy training

Some training providers state that you can only practise using their HPD qualification because of forthcoming regulation. This is total nonsense.
Nothing as yet has been agreed about regulation nor compliance, especially with regard to hypnotherapy training.

In the main hypnotherapy is undertaken by part-timers, very few run full time practises. To do that you must be able to run a very professional and effective operation, whereby results and ethics are key.
If a practitioner is Senior Reg.This means at least 500 hours in practise so the likelihood is they are full time, with the skills set to match.

As a start point if you are looking at ethics and standards, anybody coming into hypnotherapy,or is in the business, should be credit checked regularly , and checked to see if they have a criminal or police record.

Some hypnotherapy organisations allow testimonials and some do not.My view is that they can provide important evidence of effectiveness and professionalism and as long as they can be backed up, are therefore valid.

Hypnotherapy practioners must always show on there websites which organisation they are affiliated to,especially if they promote themselves as advocates of regulation.

What can help our profession is the education of the public, away from the link to stage hypnosis. Most perceptions are based on this and this unfortunately makes hypnotherapy underused as a technique.
Hypnotherapy should be in the main stream and until stage performers are marginalised as just that, and nothing else, hypnotherapy will overall remain outside of the mainstream.

hypnotherapy training franchises

A training franchise is a set up whereby you pay an amount to buy into a training provider and then pay a percentage of your gross income to them. (This can vary between 17.5% to 25% of the gross)

This saves you having to write your own training material and having it approved,so it can be a much quicker route into training.
To be an effective trainer you need to be an experienced hypnotherapist.
The franchisor may or may not take this into consideration.

Trainer levels may be lower due to the fact that after net costs, the net profit share of the remaining balance will be lower.

They may still advertise 2 trainers however only one will be in full time attendance the other may “guest” at various slots.
This will affect the level of practical work, which may mean you will have to pay more for "practise sessions" outside of the training.
The franchisor may or may not visit the franchisee to see if the training taking place resembles the prospectus.

Terence Watts in his guide to hypnotherapy training providers is especially scathing of franchise operations.He states

"The Franchised Training School
BE ESPECIALLY CAREFUL OF THIS ONE: It is becoming quite common for owners of schools to get therapists to run their courses in different parts of the Country. All well and good, except for the fact that it often looks to the student as if you are studying with a branch of the 'parent' school. The fact is, though, that these satellite schools frequently do not belong to and are not under the guidance/jurisdiction of the 'parent' school. It is a business transaction, pure and simple, like a franchise operation".

Some may hide the fact that it is franchise by saying they are a “director" or a "principal" or they run an "academy" even.At the end of the day it is still a franchise.

If you’re looking at training providers in the Milton Keynes and Swindon area and wish to know whether a training provider is franchise please call or email for more information.

When is a hypnotherapy training provider an academy?

An academy-for those that like to use the term- (Greek Ἀκαδημία) is meant to be an institution of higher learning, research, or honorary membership. The name actually traces back to Plato's school of philosophy, founded approximately 385 BC at Akademia, a sanctuary of Athena, the goddess of wisdom, north of Athens, Greece.

hypnotherapy training feedback

This training has far exceeded my expectations! In fact, being a scientist this has tremendously helped me gaining new insights into the subconscious world and made me look at research approaches from a different angle. Sam Weller is very knowledgeable and creates an experiential environment that fosters ultimate learning with passion, humour and creative hands on training. I highly recommend training with Sam  to anyone who really wants to get to grips with hypnotherapy on highest standards.

Best wishes

hypnotherapy training some facts

The more organisations that recognise the hypnotherapy training the better it is?

Not so. A recognised body (there are several) that can independently validate the quality of training to set criteria and standards is enough. Their validation allows the training to award a diploma, which means that indemnity can be acquired which is a legal requirement to be able to practise and charge fees.

The more awards we give you the better the hypnotherapy training.

In the real world what matters, when you are running a practise is having the skill set from a hypnotherapy diploma that allows you to be effective, within the actual work streams that will be presented to you. Most work streams for hypnotherapy are based on smoking, weight loss and anxiety. Anxiety underpins most if not all of the work. Also phobias and whatever your chosen market is.
Even more important is having the tool kit to be able to attract clients and build up your skill levels and professionalism. Most clients are referred to you from other clients who have experienced successful outcomes working with you.
Hypnotherapy is a practical profession and results driven. Full time hypnotherapists who are the minority are self-employed.
Some training providers in striving to be able to advertise training in other areas, to attract more students, invariably go outside their own areas of expertise.

HPD is the finest qualification in the land for hypnotherapy training

This is often touted by training schools that offer it. HPD "training" is not really further training at all but rather relies upon the submission of a portfolio of varied material - scarcely viable evidence of either superior training or resultant superior practitioners. It often duplicates the diploma, which you are studying for

HPD will be required for hypnotherapy training due to forthcoming regulation

Not so. Regulation of any type has yet to be agreed. There is absolutely no link between the need for HPD to be able to practise and any forthcoming regulation.

HPD is the only externally verified and independent hypnotherapy training in the land

HPD has been created by the NCH. and is marked and assessed by them as such after a trainer has marked it. The NCFE produces the award. In my experience having trained students in it and thus having marked numerous portfolios, not all portfolios are then actually assessed. It is totally theory based.

The more hours the better the hypnotherapy training?

Not so. Quality not quantity. If a training provider knows the business, and what they are doing, and provides the number of hours required without unnecessary excess and no more, (with validation from a major body that has examined the training) you will be able you to practise successfully. Especially if free coaching back up and support has been provided.

Guideposts Trust

Guideposts are rolling out county wide websites in support of carers.There are 6 million in the UK so its a big market.

Guideposts will be working in conjunction with wellerassociates to provide online programmes such as stress management and smoking.Everything will be packaged online, with email support follow ups, all professionally managed through the excellent client mailer system that is now in place.

This will provide immediate stress relief,or can help someone to kick their smoking habit. With total online support, backed up by a telephone counselling service.

Plans are also in the pipeline that will see more companies use this intergrated approach for employees health and well being

hypnotictracks4u

The original hypnotic tracks produced in June 2005, were priced at £9.99.
Since then we have gone on to add, online coaching and back up, weight loss guide, guide how to get the best, audio visual, money back guarantee, numerous testimonials, hypnotictracks club newsletter, affiliate scheme, multiple purchase discount, mutli currency facility, free stress guide, additional download at point of sale to make sure that any interruptions have not affected your download (power cut etc). CD version.
Plus in April 2007 the sexual enhancement section was added.

The site has come along way and is outstanding value at £22.50 per track and considerably cheaper then using a hypnotherapist, and with unlimited online support and back up

However for those that just want the basic download and nothing else, we went back to source and produced hypnotictracks4u.
At the original price of £9.99

Stage hypnosis V clinical hypnotherapy

Hypnosis may be a term, which is used for both however they are completely different. Unfortunately the perception of one dominates the other and therefore makes hypnotherapy underused as a technique, which is a great loss.

Stage hypnosis is based on suggestibility; stage hypnotists will ask for volunteers onto the stage and will weed out anyone who is not suggestible. A suggestible subject will be one that if you asked them to look at the pink elephant next to them will see and act around that suggestion.

5% of any population is very suggestible 5% not, and most are in between. The stage hypnotists will then start the show and create the illusion of control over his subjects. Using lights, music and hypnotic stare and so forth.

The impression given is that having hypnotic powers and that it is an external process.

The audience are entertained and get their moneys worth, but go away from such shows with severe reservations of hypnosis being been a beneficial process for improvement. They fear being “under” a hypnotist and loosing control.

Clinical hypnotherapy is completely different as a technique.

Hypnotherapy is a process of physical and mental relaxation allied to positive go forward suggestions, to help a fee-paying client. The whole process is based on trust and trance state is contract of trust.
This is important to in order to relax the critical faculty and achieve results.

The critical faculty is the left side of the brain or conscious mind, which is fully formed at around 11/12 years of age depending on the individual. Up to that time the subconscious mind is wide open.

The term hypnotherapy is almost is a misnomer as the world hypnosis is derived from the Greek term sleep however the process is not about sleep but about relaxation. A more accurate description of the work is right brain coaching.

Hypnotherapy can be used for a wide range of issues and I have in the past helped clients with smoking, weight loss, anxiety, stress related issues, most phobias, sexual issues, sports enhancement and business confidence.

The list is really endless.

True hypnosis is an internal state as you guide the client into trance state. Self-hypnosis is a more accurate description. For the professional it is about technique and not mystique.

Tony Baldly MP

Tony sits on various Parliamentary committees concerning carers. Tony will be visiting Guideposts and holding discussions with David Beck the CEO and Sam with regard to the stress management programme that has been implemented for carers.
It affords immediate outreach and enables a carer to be able to manage stress in the comfort of their own home. With coaching and counselling as well.
There are 6 million carers in the UK and although some stress management courses may be available not all can attend, or can afford to attend.
The online course also provides an income for Guideposts as well.
A win-win situation

Further details please contact Sam

hypnotictracks club

This is our newsletter we send out monthly to clients that have purchased the downloads or CDs.

The newsletter gives tips, clues and pointer’s on now to get the best from the tracks. The whole idea being it is part of the support and coaching package that we provide to enable you to get the best from your tracks.

Many people go this particular route, as they cannot afford 1 to 1 fees, or have been put off by stage shows on television and feel vulnerable about seeing a hypnotherapist.
This provides the idea solution so we can provide hypnotherapy that is as near as possible to a practise session. At a fraction of the costs of a 1 to 1 session.

From now on we are opening up the newsletter and if you wish to be included please provide your details in the comments box below.

I can make you stop smoking

You cannot make anyone do anything. The subconscious mind must want the suggestions to work. In other words a strong desire factor must be present. The whole process is based not just on stopping smoking,you do that every time you put out a cigarette, but becoming a non-smoker. Big difference. Its called readiness for change.

So “I can make you stop smoking, just one session, 95% success rate. Guaranteed." Is rubbish.

What is a sucess rate?stopping after after one session,one week,a year,till death.Who independently monitors it all?
Based on a refund rate is not the same.

Think about it, building the rapport and being able successfully to communicate with the subconscious enough in just the one session, with that "guarantee" of 95% success rate, adding to the pressure and expectation.

Takes 21 days to break a habit so 3 sessions (same cost as single session) within a weekly pattern with a back up CD/MP has a much better chance of long term success.
Again providing the client wants to. It’s not a magic wand.

what is hypnotherapy?

Clinical hypnotherapy and stage hypnosis unfortunately share the same name hypnosis, which means peoples perception is often based on stage hypnosis.
Hypnosis is derived from hypnos being the Greek term for sleep,the Greeks having used sleep temples back in 4000 BC.
Relaxation of the conscious mind would have been a more accurate description.

So whilst undergoing hypnotherapy many clients may assume they are in a state of “sleep” and undergoing “therapy” all at the same time. Very few if any smokers undertake “therapy” for stop smoking

However hypnotherapy does realign feelings, which stem form the subconscious to a more positive state, and gives an all-important edge when it comes to becoming a non-smoker or breaking a habit.
So the name hypnosis is really a misnomer.

Stage hypnosis is based on entertainment, suggestibility and illusion. An impression is thereby given it is an external state, which is the opposite of what it really is an internalised state. Therefore people can be wary of hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is a process whereby you are working with a person to help instil a superior form of physical and mental relaxation to help realign the all powerful emotions to a more positive go forward state.

This is referred to as trance state, by bypassing the conscious mind and critical faculty. We do this every day when driving a car, reading a book of if we come emotional. Difference is hypnotherapy is a process, which undertakes this state in a controlled setting with a fee-paying results expectant client.

As hypnotherapy is a powerful process working with the subconscious/right side of the brain we refer to it as “right brain coaching”. This is a more accurate description of the work that we do.

Training franchises

A training franchise is a set up whereby you pay an amount to buy into a training provider and then pay a percentage of your gross income to them. (This can vary between 17.5% to 25% of the gross)

This will affect the level of practical work, which may mean you will have to pay more for practise sessions outside of the training.
The franchisor may or may not visit the franchisee to see if the training taking place resembles the prospectus.

Smoking ban

The smoking banThe UK Government smoking ban in public places and the workplace became law yesterday. The smoking ban - The problemIf you work for the MOD and want a smoke, you may have to drive miles off premise to do so. If you are an NHS nurse you actually have to change out of uniform before you can go off premise to smoke. Aside from the obvious health issues and cost of smoking, which employer wants to possibly lose the staff that just cannot comply with the ban?

Who wants to be fined? Employers that fail to comply with the law could be fined between £200 and £1,000 for failing to display 'no smoking' signs, and between £200 and £2,500 for failing to enforce the ban. Employees could face a £50 penalty for flouting the ban. The ban is also being enforced with the Government spending £30million on enforcement officers.

 

stop smoking some facts

The results of numerous trials both in Europe and the USA have suggested that hypnosis is the most effective way to stop smoking (New Scientist 31.10.92. page six).


The American Journal of Clinical Hypnotherapy (1968) published a report that showed that 94% of patients that were able stop smoking through hypnosis were still not smoking 18 months later. The International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis (1970) cites a study with 88% reporting success after one year.

A recent study from the University of Iowa published in the Journal of Applied Psychology cites 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers. The results clearly demonstrate the effectiveness of stop smoking with hypnosis


New Scientist vol 136 issue 1845 p6

To find the most effective method to stop smoking, Frank Schmidt and research student Chockalingham Viswesvaran from the University of Iowa conducted a meta-analysis, bringing together the results of more than 600 studies totalling nearly 72,000 people. The results, which were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology and included 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, clearly showed that hypnosis was three times more effective than Nicotine Replacement.



Hypnosis is the most effective way of giving up smoking, according to the largest ever scientific comparison of ways of breaking the habit. Willpower, it turns out, counts for very little". (New Scientist, Vol 136 issue 1845 31 Oct 92, page 6)

"..93% of Niotine patch users fail within a half year...(Freedom From Tobacco - Quit Smoking Now.htm)

1. NRT - Replacement nicotine delivered by the patch, gum, lozenge, spray or inhaler comes from the exact same tobacco plant as nicotine in cigarettes. Clinical efficacy and real-world effectiveness are two different standards. What those selling NRT fail to reveal is that in no real-world quitting methods survey to date (California, Minn., Quebec, London, Maryland, Australia) have those using NRT performed better than those quitting without it. A 2003 study combined and averaged the 7 OTC nicotine patch and gum studies. It found that only 7% were still not smoking at 6 months. It gets worse. A 1993 study (Tonnesen) found that 0% of second-time patch users succeeded in quitting for 6 months and a 1995 study (Gourlay) reported a 1.6% six-month quitting rate.

2. Zyban - Zyban (bupropion) is a dopamine uptake inhibitor in pill form. In all real-world use surveys to date it has yet to perform better than those quitting without it, at rates similar to NRT.

3. Chantix - 2006 studies boast a 1 in 5 one-year quit smoking rate but were inflated by 16 one-on-one counseling sessions and telephone support. Real-world use rates will be substantially lower.

Research by The New Scientist Magazine (1992) has shown hypnotherapy to be the safest and quickest way to quit smoking. People were six times more likely to quit with one session of hypnosis and remain non-smokers over 12 months after their session, compared to those who used Nicotine Replacement Therapy.

The advantage of hypnosis is that it removes the dependency and craving of quitting without risking the side effects of rashes and potential long term damage that has been associated with Zyban. Those using NRT are know to have to try to quit on average six times before succeeding, thereby investing heavily in substitute products and addictive chemicals, before developing a stronger will or abandoning any belief in quitting altogether.

Studies in America have shown that hypnosis is the most effective method of stopping smoking for good with an 85% success rate in just one session!

This contrasts with the low rates of 10% success for those using nicotine gum and 6% compared with willpower alone.

(Mathews, R (1992)

New Scientist, Vol. 136, No. 1845, p.6.)

To find the most effective method to stop smoking Frank Schmidt and research student Chockalingham Viswesvaran from the university of Iowa used a meta-analysis, utilising the results of more than 600 studies totalling nearly 72,000 people.

The results, which were published in the Journal of Applied Psychology and included 48 studies of hypnosis covering 6000 smokers, clearly showed that hypnosis, to use the same terminology as the quit counsellor, was three times more effective than NRT.

why hypnosis works for your sex life

Hypnotherapy is a very powerful form of complete relaxation which helps programme the subconscious mind to both unblock stagnant feelings and achieve your true sexual potential.


A common, effective use of hypnotherapy is to lower your anxiety.

The anticipation of failure (particularly for men anxious about their ability to have or to maintain an erection) brings on feelings of anxiety.

This in turn brings about the pressure to perform and failure. Hypnotherapy ends this vicious circle and replaces the anticipation of failure with the certainty of sexual success and sexual confidence.

Sexual enhancement therapy methods are more readily accepted by someone when in hypnosis because the conscious, judgmental, analytical part of the mind is temporarily set aside. The subconscious then absorbs the new, positive messages being by the hypnotherapist to create.

Precisely because hypnosis taps into the autonomic nervous system, a person can use it to improve or alter functions that normally happen without conscious control, e.g., a man's erection.

hypnotictracks anxiety

"My experience with using the hypnotictracks anxiety download was life changing literally…. Two years ago I was diagnosed with a life changing disability that brought on a tremendous amount of anxiety and had been to every doctor and of course they all wanted to put me on medications. I tried them all because I wanted to get better and get on with my life but the side effects were too much for me to handle. I was in bed for months due to my disability and the anxiety. My body became stuck in a state of constant anxiety and there was nothing that anyone could do except drug me. The anxiety got so bad that it hindered my efforts to get better. I ordered Sam's download on anxiety and began to listen to it several times a day and before bed and within about a week I began to notice that I was relaxing and experiencing a sense of peace... I was able to deal with my disability and face it in a healthy way and now I use his downloads because they relax me each night. I would recommend them highly to anyone. I intend on ordering more in the future and I believe they will also help my children as well."

hypnotictracks stop smoking

I had tried for years to stop smoking never quite made it. My boyfriend John recommended hypnotictracks as he had used one of the tracks to help him relax. Basically it worked.


When I told my friends I was using hypnosis to help me stop smoking they all laughed and pretended to dangle pendulums in front of me.

Anyway I phoned Sam before downloading and he told me to “forget about the stage nonsense”, the tracks will do it for me providing I meant business about giving up. He also told me the track would come with his own personal guarantee and to feel free to ask questions at any time.

So I downloaded and after listening to it stopped smoking. Sam advised me to listen to it a few more times to be on the safe side, and now smoking just does not come into my thoughts at all.

Meanwhile I see these around me who were quick to criticise, on patches, chewing gum, and thinking about smoking all day long. Best of luck to them.

If anyone had told me a few weeks ago I would be using the power of my mind to stop smoking I would have laughed at them.

hypnotictracks weight loss

Dear Sam,


After trying many varied diets, clubs and gyms in order to loose weight, I finally found the secret of achieving weight loss, and this was by using hypnotictracks for weight loss.

After only two weeks of using the ‘hypnotic tracks ‘downloads in I have successfully lost 11 lbs.

Although in the beginning I was unsure as to whether hypnotictracks would work, I can say hand on heart this has really worked for me, I feel more confident, younger and comfortable in my skin.

I would like to keep my method of losing weight a secret so all my girl friends envy me, but I feel so positive that I will be singing your praises telling all of my friends that hypnotictracks really does work.

Many thanks from a confident, happy, healthy woman.

weight loss testimonial

Dear Sam, just wanted to write to you to thank you for your Hypnotic Tracks - I started my campaign to loose 23lbs before my Wedding. I am delighted to say I have achieved that and more! I've seen a 22% reduction in my fat as well as dropping a tremendous 6 points on my BMI to a healthier 27. I found your Hypnotic Tracks an easy solution to support my weight loss program and everyone has commented on how good I look. I'm not one to endorse but the track did exactly what it said on the tin, I never felt hungry and found it easy to make the right choices and feel good about it. Thanks again for your advice, and best wishes from both my soon to be wife Melanie and I.

hypnotherapy weight loss

Weight loss reality



Weight loss for some can be the eternal “how to” each “new” diet or new “re-cycled” diet offers the same. If you look at the word diet the first 3 letters are DIE. (Death of the metabolism)

Unfortunately all these diets work on the starvation principle of some sort, and drastically reduced calorie intake.

Or by eating solid protein, or by living off a boring liquid diet. None of them address the relationship to food, which is a lifetime one. A person’s weight gain quite often is down to emotional eating, and the stressors that may course this. Eating can provide comfort and then someone eats what he or she wants, as opposed to what they need, they gain weight.

Diets slow down the metabolism, after 4 days of starvation the body shuts down and goes into starvation mode protecting the very calories you are trying to loose.

Metabolism slows right down and you feel lethargic. When you start eating again the weight piles back on and with a metabolism the pounds will keep piling back on.

Anybody been there before?

Dieticians and so called experts do not tell you that the body likes and needs good old fat, it serves a useful propose. Supplies us with a foodstore in times of starvation and keeps us warm. Unlike muscle, which is cosmetic, and burns off calories.

The subconscious mind still acts as if we were in the cave.

Diets do not address this in any way, shape or form. The key is to work with the body. The body will accept weight loss of 2lbs a week maybe a little more. Much more than this and the weight loss is fluid and muscle tissue. In extreme cases the body will break down internal organ tissue to synthesis the protein and feed itself.

If the weight loss is slow it stays off. Therefore no more “yo-yo” effect, and another cycle of dieting/weight loss/gain with the latest “make you thin” wonder diet.

Working with the body is the key.

Everybody knows what he or she should and should not eat. The key is feeling good about doing it. Getting the balance back to eating what you need as opposed to what you want.

Unfortunately we live in an age of easy and instant with those all so seductive miracle diets offering absurd amounts of “easy” weight loss in a matter of days or weeks. I have helped clients to lose weight who have tried every diet under the sun. Always the same. People know they are a con but just have to give it one last try

Hypnosis is a process whereby you can work with the body and feel good about doing the things that you know you should be doing. Once you are into a rhythm the weight comes off, slowly, naturally, safely and stays off.

Psychologically you feel good, as long lost confidence in your ability to lose weight returns as you have finally found something that you can work with.

You lose weight once not a hundred times!!

stress help for carers

Stress help for Carers

No matter how deeply you care for the person you are caring for, the fact is being a carer is stressful. Stress is damaging in the long term because it can lead to illness, depression and exhaustion.
You may well feel you are coping with your caring role, however there may come a time when you experience higher than normal levels of stress. To enable you to continue your caring role effectively and also to ensure your own health does not suffer it is important to be able to deal with stress in a practical and easily applied way.
Whether the person you provide care for has a mental or physical disability makes very little difference, it is the continual and constant having to care for them that can be so physically and emotionally draining. Why does a carer become stressed? ?The cause of your carer stress might be complex.
You could be worried about the health of the person you love and care for, or the attitudes of other members of the family. You may well feel guilty about the way you feel sometimes. Stress can potentially put a strain on relationship due to the continual stress experienced by the carer and possibly the perceived lack of support from the partner. Lack of support and feeling totally isolated in your role a carer can all play a part in making you feel worse. Carers have to maintain relationships with other people outside the home. Common feelings to carers
The pressure of being a carer may lead to anger and a feeling of a loss of control. This can be very damaging. Sometimes it can be very hard to cope with these feelings as well as having to care for someone. You may well feel guilty for feelings of anger towards the person you are caring for.

Stress symptoms

As a carer you may not have the time to think about how you are coping and how you are feeling. Symptoms of stress include irritability and generally feeling more emotionally drained and perhaps tearful, lack of appetite or perhaps eating too much and putting on weight. Not being able to sleep or waking up early. General feelings of feeling anxiety. A suppressed immune system can mean, more virus infections than usual, lack of energy, short temper and raised blood pressure.

You might feel isolated, pessimistic and almost overwhelmed as a carer. All these raw emotions create stress. When your body is stressed you have more stress hormone called cortisol in your body. If levels of cortisol are too high for too long then blood pressure goes up, digestion is suppressed causing stomach problems and sleep is driven out. Stress is not only harmful to your health and well-being, it can also damage your relationships, so it's vital to identify the causes of stress and be able to tackle them as soon as possible in a practical and cost effective manner.
Stress and the cureIf you are a carer for someone else then chances are you are neglecting your own needs to some extent. You have needs for:

To be able to relax.
Quality sleep and rest.
Quality relationships.
Feeling safe and secure.
A sense of connection to your family and community.
Be able to enjoy yourself.
Achieving your own goals in life.

Your caring role may prevent you getting some of your needs being met. Being able to relax is so important. When you relax your stress hormone levels level out, your blood pressure becomes normal and your immune system works better.

To enable you to feel relaxed and cope as a carer Wellerassociates working in partnership with Guideposts Trust have produced a range of MP3s and CDs.
50% of any income generated goes back to the Trust.

All you have to do is listen in the comfort of your own home at a time of your choosing.
Sam Weller has been a hypnotherapist since 1989,with extensive experience of stress management. As part of his working arrangement with Guideposts Trust Sam will be accessible to answer your questions and provide an on going counselling and support service when ever needed, and for as long as needed.
