Is Stress Slowly Killing You? + My Stressful Situation

The jury is in. Stress will kill ya. In fact, research shows that 60-80% of illnesses are directly caused or exacerbated by the stress response. Back pain, teeth grinding, depression and digestive issues are only minor aspects of what stress can do to your body. Makes you rethink how you handle situations, doesn't it?

(Watch my video called, "How to Relax Your Mind and Calm Your Body" on deep breathing.)

The symptoms of stress can include emotional mood swings, reduced sleep and appetite (leading to nutritional deficiencies) and impaired concentration and thinking. If you are experiencing these, then you are probably suffering from stress. You know that this is an important topic, no matter who you are, but how much thought have you really given it? If you can reduce stress, you can prevent an early demise.

My Stressful Situation

To tell you the truth, when I was younger (in middle school and high school), I suffered from an amazing amount of stress. School and me just didn't mix, and it was playing out in the most horrible ways with my health. I almost didn't make it the stress was so bad, so I realize what health effects are associated with it. I would NEVER wish what I went through for anyone.

Is stress always a bad thing? No, good stress, or eustress, can help motivate you toward completing a project or thinking on your feet. It's the repeated instances of stress that can cause problems and lead to illness in the long run.

Even if you don't experience stress often, it might be a good idea to take steps in order to reduce future stressful situations, and to learn how to use your own mind to handle these situations. Stress and anxiety or NOT things you want to have swimming around your body and your mind, so find techniques to handle them effectively is incredibly important.

Stress Hypnosis

With hypnosis for stress, I like to use an extremely powerful trance induction that helps your body relax completely, and helps you free your mind from all things. It's an amazing experience. Also, I like to use certain NLP pattern techniques, as well as time line therapy that will help you instill certain techniques that will activate your mind to help reduce stress in your body effectively.

If you are wanting to use hypnotherapy for stress, anxiety, PTSD (post traumatic stress disorder), etc., to experience amazing stress relief, either in the workplace, school or at home, then you might have found one program that can save your life. Finding natural stress relief can be a challenge at times, but there is one area that has been proven to work to help you completely manage your stress, and that is hypnosis.

(Here's a study I found showing that high levels of stress can prevent women from getting pregnant!)

A friend of mine used my own program for stress (as he was trying to study for a really challenging exam), and said after he listened to the hypnosis CD, he felt the stress release from himself, almost in one big breath. He couldn't believe that something he suffered from his whole life (he always suffered from anxiety) could be handled with these techniques. He now listens to the program before every test, and has confidence in himself. Did I mention he is one of my favorite friends? :)

Stress and Your Health

Stress has a lot of nasty side effects. From elevating your blood sugar to suppressing immune function, to raising blood pressure and increasing heart attack risk, stress is a very important thing to have out of your body (if only on occasions). If there is anything that is valuable to me it is my health, which is why I regularly do self hypnosis, meditation and yoga to handle life's challenges effectively.

Meditation and Stress

With hypnosis, stress reduction is cleared away much easier than with something like meditation. Meditation is something that I believe should be practiced regularly, however it doesn't get to the core issue of the problem. Some people are stressed out or anxious about a particular area in their life, but meditation won't address it.

Meditation will only allow you to clear your mind for that moment in time. What do you think happens once you leave that meditated state, and go out in your life? That problem will just come back. If you are wanting to address the true cause of your anxiety or stress, and to help prevent it from coming back, you must find ways of effectively training your mind to handle it.

There are many ways to release stress, but the most successful method by far (and I'm not just saying this because I am a hypnotist) is hypnosis. Again, scientific studies have shown it to be very effective in stress reduction, as it utilizes deep breathing, visualization, time line therapy and other stress reductions techniques that help you home in on the problem, and then release it forever. Wouldn't you like to live stress free?

If you are wanting to experience a stress free way of life, and want to remove stress from your life forever, then why not try hypnosis? It only takes minutes a day to quickly develop a lasting change in your subconscious, so you can deeply embed a new way of thinking, a new way of looking and reacting to challenges and will help you in promoting good health and wellness. It's your body, and your life--you know it's time for a change. Even if you don't suffer from anxiety or stress, this program will help you develop the strategies for effectively coping with those rocky times, and will help move you toward a calmer, peaceful life. Peace out...

New Hypnotic LIVE TV - Should I Do It?

Photo Courtesy CashCade.co.uk

Today is a beautiful saturday morning. There's nothing like sleeping in on Saturday mornings and NOT waking up to an alarm clock. However, I did only sleep until about 6:50 a.m., it still provided me with a refreshing 9 hours of restful sleep.

Yesterday, while I was exercising, I got a really good idea (I seem to always think of new, exciting things when I'm exercising). What if I had my very own, live online TV show where I talk about hypnosis, interact with others and actually hypnotize you on the air. Every day would be devoted to a different topic, and the viewers will ask me for their help, or for something they wish to experience in hypnosis.

The question is this: Should I do it? Would you be interested in coming to a weekly live online TV show, where you can be hypnotized for free? I'm thinking along the lines of a place like Ustream or Stickam, which will provide the viewers a chat room so I can read their questions or comments.

I'm thinking this will be a whole lot of fun, both for me and you. What days and times work best for you to come and see the show LIVE (shows will always record for later viewing, but there's nothing like being there in the moment).? Do you like Stickam or Ustream better? What if I gave away free hypnosis CDs or mp3s, or perhaps gave secret discounts during the show?

Let me know your thoughts by answering the questions below in the comments section. Or you can email me. I'm really interested in taking this idea into formation. Thank you, and have a wonderful weekend!

How Hypnosis Affects the Brain

There are some people who accept hypnosis as a mysterious tool that actually works. They don't care how it works, just that it does. But if you're anything like me, you want at least some scientific evidence that it provides a real change within the brain. If there were no studies on hypnosis, then I probably wouldn't be doing it, unless I knew for a fact that it works. Based on my own personal experiments and experience, I do know that it works; however, the science behind it is what really catapulted me into the field.

Let me know what you think of the videos, and if you want more research on hypnosis! Happy week to all of you! :)

Use Hypnosis and Visualization to Increase Muscle Size and Build Muscle Fast

Muscle is an important part of our body that makes up about 35-45% of our skeletal system. This percentage depends on which gender you are, but no matter if you are a male or female, you know how important it is to keep and maintain muscle tone. Not only does muscle burn more fat (muscle burns more calories at rest than fat), but it also helps keep our bodies toned, fit and lean. Our bodies do need some fat to keep us healthy, but muscle is also an important component of our overall health.

Recent research has shown that the mind can influence the cells in our body, and actually influence them in a way to make them grow. In fact, one study took two groups of people to test this claim. One group exercised the muscle in their pinky finger with a small weight (that weight must've looked so cute!). The other group only visualized exercising that muscle, without even lifting a finger.

So what happened? The group that actually performed the exercise increased the muscle mass in their pinky. Obvious. The group who only visualized also increased muscle mass! I know you can tell I'm very excited about this, because it shows that visualization packs a heck of a punch in growing and building muscle. When you combine visualization with a deep state of trance, just wonder, right now, what you could do.

Manifesting Love Into Your Life

Is hypnosis a reliable way to attract love into your life? Is it a way to help fulfill your needs that you desire in another? I cannot tell you how many times I get these types of questions--people need love! My answer? Absolutely. Hypnosis is an incredible tool to help you attract anything you desire--including love.

How Does this Work?

Well, there are basically three reasons why I think self hypnosis is powerful in attracting love. You may have already heard of these, but I wish to explore them more in depth.

1. Self love. This is the first step to take in attracting love into your life. You have heard it before, and I will say it again. You cannot first come into a relationship and give yourself 100% if you don't fully appreciate yourself first. No amount of money or material goods will help keep a relationship alive, nor will it help entice another person of substance towards you. Loving yourself is the foundation you need to become a part of a lasting and loving relationship.

By allowing yourself to love yourself, you are creating an "aura" or a new way of moving your body (body language) that lets others be more comfortable with you. When you are comfortable with yourself, others become comfortable with you, as well. Loving yourself isn't about standing in front of a mirror and saying, "By George, I'm good enough and I love myself!". It is so much more that that. You have to go deep into your subconscious mind and really embed words of love into your mind so that self love becomes second nature.

2. Focus and awareness. Self hypnosis is powerful in attracting love because it also helps center and focus the mind on bring forth another in your life. Whenever you decide that you want something, and you really want it, your mind will be completely centered around that thing until you get it. Just like with love, what you focus on intensely you will get more of, and it will start to grow in your own life. In hypnosis, you use your ability to visualize and imagine the love you desire and fully immerse yourself in the desired outcome. This will focus your mind and allow your brain to continue to look for the right love in every corner of your life.

3. The Law of Attraction. The Law of Attraction is great, however if you don't use the proper tools to utilize this method for manifesting, then it isn't going to go over all that well. Whenever you focus your mind on love and create an aura of love around yourself (self love), it is almost as if you are sending a letter or message to the Universe, telling the Universe that you are ready to receive love in your life. By opening yourself up to love, you are, in essence, opening yourself up to the powers of the Universe.

Now you don't necessarily have to believe that this will work for it to actually work. In the video above I explain how and why I believe self hypnosis works in attracting love into your life. If you are looking for someone in your life, or just for loving feelings or emotions, give it a shot. There's nothing to lose, and no one but you will know. Just by reading this, right now, you are one step closer toward bringing love into your life.

Love you,

Brandon
