Global Hypnotherapy with Aidan Noone

Investments, investments, investments.

You want results, you want to know that if you invest in something you get results. The financial gurus constantly talk about the results you get when you invest in a particular portfolio or fund.

Results, results, results,  and one of the best investments you can make is,  investing in yourself!  It sort of makes sense, doesn't it? Why invest in someone else unless perhaps you love them dearly and care about them. That makes sense!

You have a busy life, stuff to do, people to see. and maybe you have this thing, this problem that's been niggling at you for some time and maybe even years.

Maybe it's an addiction that's costing you lots and lots of money, maybe you feel as though it has been stealing from you for many years. Robbing yourself.  Crazy isn't it!

Maybe you are overwhelmed with stress or too much anxiety, or perhaps you want to be smoke-free, free from a habit that has been ruining your life for some time now?

Statistics are showing that people who are experiencing depression are increasing at a fast pace.

Would you like to be experiencing feelings other than depression? Freeing yourself from that, that has been controlling your life for yours.

How long will you remain inside your problem? Is, now, not the right time to break free from that problem and live your life your way? Just imagine, what's the story you want to be telling in two or three years' time having done this now?

How is life different, then? What if I asked you a question, which by the very nature of the question, caused you to go deep inside yourself and break apart that stuck present reality, and as you realise now, you have freed yourself by tapping into that creative emotional intelligent part of you, stepping into your own excellence and authority. Would that be of any use to you?

Hypnotherapy is probably the quickest, tried and tested, easy method that saves you a fortune by making a wise investment in You!

Do you want results? Of course, you do! Make that investment in you and immediately reap the benefits.

Want to discuss this further and find solutions for you, solutions that help you free yourself now?

I offer you a Complimentary Consultation to discuss your needs and decide on a path that leads to freedom and the results that you want now, and overall you save more money in your pocket.  A wise investment. Just click the link, here or paste it into your browser:

Today's short podcast is going to be a little more technical than usual. So please bear with me.

I want to briefly talk about two parts of your brain. At the outset, I fully acknowledge the brain is a hugely complex organ and my explanation is also hugely inadequate. It's just a simplified explanation.

Being aware of what it is, that's causing you anxiety and or stress, naming it, labeling it, is a tremendous way of calming yourself, because when you bring it out of darkness into the daylight of rational thinking you can defeat it. It loses its power over you.

It's important that you must make an executive decision to STOP what it is you are doing. Just STOP. This takes practice.

Next time you are feeling angry about something or someone or you feel stressed or anxious. Just stop for a moment. Yes just Stop.  Just imagine for a moment you are literally hovering out of your body just like a drone, up and out of your body and you have moved about ten feet from yourself and you look back over at yourself.  Now take a look at yourself, and write down a few words that describe how you are feeling. Not blaming anyone, just how you are feeling. Write it down.  And bring that piece of paper back with you as you hover back into your body.  Now notice how you are feeling!

Another way to calm yourself is to breathe in and out through your nose. Holding your in-breath for as long as you can and then exhaling. Do this for as long as is necessary.  Warning:  if you have a lung or breathing deficit, please do not do this.

The ideal mental state,  to be experiencing is the rational mind state, the Pre-frontal Cortex thinking because rational thinking is able to pour cold water on highly irrational thinking. Then you are able to make wise decisions and wise choices that enhance you and your life. Creative thinking can happen and the world is your oyster.

Practice. practice, practice.

There's a very popular poem by Irish Poet, Padraic Colum, entitled, "The Drover".  I remember learning it in primary school, not sure if it's still taught.

It's about a Drover, usually, a man who drove cattle from the west of Ireland where the land would have been considered poor land for rearing cattle, to the rich pastures of County Meath, much flatter land. It's where life was easier, easier to rear cattle to make a living.

The Drovers were usually paid a pittance for their work.

Whilst reading the poem, I was transported back in time to a different era where life was completely different from what we know life to be today.  I contemplated what life would be like if I  was there now. There probably would be much more physical work to get things done, unlike today when we just press a button, switch on a machine or send an email.

Washing laundry on a washboard by hand. Spending time doing the same thing over and over. Probably a lot less drug use or perhaps the drug of choice was alcohol.

Words have the ability to anchor us back to a time past when we experience the same emotions, and feelings now, as we did then.

So when you speak or when you write, choose your words carefully. The impact you can have on someone, especially a child is enormous. You set the tone and change someone's mood with the intended choice of words.  Choose wisely.

I was speaking with a colleague recently who specialises in Sports Hypnosis. She revealed to me something really very interesting.

We were discussing muscle memory and the role mental rehearsal plays in our success when we plan for success.

She mentioned that the brains of athletes were scanned, as they imagine and or mentally imagine themselves being successful in the sport they specialise in. Achieving way more than they ever thought possible.  The interesting thing is that that very same exact part of the brain is activated as when you imagine it and when you actually do it in real life. According to the brain there's no difference between something imagined and something real.

Just think about your dream, how real they can be!

Mental rehearsal is a powerful way to help yourself be successful.  Just imagine when you go to that time in the future where you have achieved your goal. As you are there looking out through your own eyes, seeing what you are seeing, feeling and hearing, and even smelling.

Mental rehearsal and being in the zone are powerful allies to help you way more than you ever thought possible.

Keeping in tune with the theme of nature, I remember trekking in Peru, South America in the year 2005, I was fundraising for a well-known Irish Charity.

Being in Peru opened my eyes, to the stunning landscapes. At one stage whilst trekking at about 4,500 metres, it looked as though I could throw a stone and hit a glacier just right in front of my eyes. It was a magnificent sight.

More amazing were the Peruvian people, with big broad smiles, pleasant demeanour, welcoming. To see farmers at 4,000 metres running with ease after Llama: I was just in awe. I thought their hearts must be enormous to be able to run at such an altitude where the oxygen level is so thin.

I remember the party I was with about 28 people, we visited a school there in the wilderness. Happy smiley faces.

Overall, what I noticed was that the people had the outward sign of being happy, their happiness didn't come from material possessions. They just didn't know wealth as the western world knows.

I believe their outward happiness was a true reflection of their inner happiness. Being content about their lot. I state all of what I'm writing with respect and honour for the people of Peru.

What we don't have we don't miss. That probably sounds blase. That's not my intention. 

We make the best of what we have available to us in the context, in the place we find ourselves.

What makes you happy? Is it possessions? Money? Loving relationships? Success or whatever success means to you? Belief in God?

What do you need to do?

When was the last time you took a break to walk in nature, like in a forest park or along the sea shore if you live near the sea shore, or even in a city park?

Sit or take a leisurely walk at your own pace.   Breathe through your nose and smell the air, feel the air as it caresses your face. What does the seat you are sitting in feel like, if you are sitting?

How does the ground feel as you walk upon it, the sound of each step and you crunch the pathway way or perhaps you are on a sandy surface like a beach somewhere, perhaps your favourite place.

I believe it's important just to get out into the air, look around you, smell the smells, and shake your hands if you are able to do that.

Just get out and do yourself a favour.  Again, you might just surprise yourself at what you discover.

Do you think it's reasonably true to state that most people have a problem they want to be sorted?

The infamous song from the movie, Sound of Music: "How do solve a problem like Maria?"

Now I'm showing my age! So what?

Many people have problems they want to be sorted or to find the solution to that, that has been annoying you for some time.

And yet, what if the solution to most if not all of your problems lies just inside your head?

Yes, inside your head, more specifically inside your unconscious mind.  You see your unconscious mind has one of the most creative resources and intuitive available to you, for free.

Consider when you are aware of your dreams, and how real they seem to you.  Acted out in the theatre of your mind and what a theatre it is. Lights, actions, sound, colour!

Similarly, that creative unconscious when given appropriate instruction can be a powerful ally in helping you sort out problems. Have you ever been mulling around in your head that something that has been wracking your brain for weeks and when you leave that 'something' aside when you forget about it for a while, even perhaps a night:  next morning you wake up and hey presto you are presented with a probable solution to the problem you have been stressed out about.

What if, when you daydream, we all do it, that daydream could be the start of something exciting or even profitable for you.  Dreams can become a reality! What if you just gave your imagination permission to imagine what it wants! How would you be different?

I recently read the following line: The actions I take, will and will not impact on my life.

It got me thinking, about how very true that line is.

Hard work and dedication usually pay off.  Similarly doing nothing has it pay off, also!

Charting a way forward is essential if you are to get where you want to go.  Follow the process, and the necessary steps.

Even a commercial aircraft has to file a flight plan in order that it gets from A to B.

How are you impacting your life? What would you like to do? What would you like to achieve? What are you achieving?

The actions You take, will and will not impact your life.

Since childhood, I always wanted to learn to swim, however, due to a bad, learning to swim,  experience, I left hopes of me ever learning to swim aside until I was aged 40.

I did some work around my fear of water and drowning and hypnosis helped me enormously.

The gym I attended had a 25-metre swimming pool and whilst I didn't take lessons per se, I splashed around hoping to find the secret to learning to swim.

I recall a friend of mine happened to be in the pool alongside me one day and whilst he can swim he never really made any big deal out of the fact that I couldn't.

I was still clinging to the sides of the pool and occasionally dunking my head under the water so quickly that my head didn't even get wet.

One time when he was exiting the water he made a very profound comment to me. "Try just floating," he said.

Well I tried and I tried and I tried.  No good.  Then I thought since I'm in the shallow end of the pool, what's the worst possible thing that could happen to me?

I gave it one last attempt. I did it, I floated.  Another thing I learned was: surrender to the water and you will float.

Surrendering is that all-important concept.  Just think of it. Whether it be learning to ride a bicycle or learning to swim, surrendering is an all-important component.

Just 'wing' it and see what happens.  Right now, what do you need to just 'wing'?

Set out and yet be safe and 'wing' it and you just might surprise yourself at what you can achieve.
