12 Android Smartphone Apps Now Available On Google Play
|
|
Do you have an Android Smart Phone??
Sorry Guys and Gals with iPhones - getting our Self-Hypnosis products set up for Android smart phones has proved much easier than iTunes and therefore have stolen the lead here. So one up to Google!!
Surely this is the easiest way ever to download and listen to Adam's Self-Hypnosis audios.
Please note that you will need to be in a Wifi hotspot to use the app as the audios will not play over just a 3G connection. Now 4G which is only just round the corner is a different matter. Can't wait for all that smart-phone speed.
So go take a look at:

** If you purchase and review any of Adam's app products please let me know and I will send you another app free

YOU Could Be Your Own Worst Enemy!
|
|
|
Sometimes we can be our own worst enemy...
We talk ourselves out of things, we convince ourselves that we are not capable or not good enough, we can be unduly critical of ourselves and berate ourselves at other times...
That ongoing radio channel that sits in our head can sometimes be shouting stuff at us that we don't want to hear...
Like there is a person with a megaphone shouting unwanted orders and put-downs that prevent us from living life as we'd like to.
Earlier this year, while I was speaking at change phenomena conference, I watched the great man Gary Turner who was quoting a technique he enjoyed using for getting the unwanted internal dialogue in our heads to be quiet...
It involved wrapping duct tape around the mouth of the voice of the unwanted internal dialogue.
I rather liked it, and what with Gary being a 13 time world champion at various fighting disciplines, I thought it beautifully apt.
There are many ways to quiet internal dialogue or to get the internal chatter to shush! Some I have written about here before. Here today is one simple way for not just disputing thoughts and not just stopping them, but to tame your thoughts if they are being critical and turn them into something effective, useful and beneficial to you.
Before we start with this process today, think of someone who always wants the best for you, perhaps someone who loves you and even someone who encourages you and supports you unconditionally. If you are really struggling to come up with anyone, then create and imagine what it would be like.
Also have a think about a typical situation where you tend to be critical of yourself, or where your internal dialogue tends to talk you out of taking action or where it effects you detrimentally in some way.
Then lets begin...
Get yourself into a comfortable position, where you'll be undisturbed for the period of doing this exercise and follow these simple steps.

Steps To Stop Criticising Yourself: |
|
Step Two |
|
Scan back through your day, or the past week and think of your activities and actions... As you think, imagine drifting deeper inside your mind as you consider your recent life.
As you scan through your recent life, notice anything that might be considered an issue or a problem that you are currently working on, or a challenge you are facing, ideally a circumstance where your internal dialogue hindered you or malaffected you or held you back or was unduly critical...
Just start to gather up the details of what happened on that occasion. Recall where you were, who you were with and recall the sounds, notice the sights of the place and be aware of how that makes you feel and just notice enough of those feelings as is useful for this exercise.
As you really imagine that you are there in that place, also start to recognise what was happening inside of your head. That is, what were you saying to yourself, what ideas went through your mind, what was your internal dialogue saying.
Notice any negative elements. Notice the unwanted internal dialogue, become aware of the qualities of how it was said as well as the words that were spoken inside your mind and with a good sense of that, move on to the next step.
|
Step Three |
As you notice the old unwanted criticising voice, start to build that voice a body or a character of some kind... Maybe it is an animal or a beast or famous person, or even an object... Just start to create in your mind a physical presence of some kind that you think and believe best suits your internal dialogue.Fashion the voice with a body, a face of some kind and start to create a very particular physical presence and representation inside your head that represents your internal dialogue. You choose, you imagine, you create. Make it detailed and spend all the time necessary to get this in your mind.
As that becomes fashioned and created, also now get a sense of what the underlying meaning or hidden benefit of this inner critic might be, start to frame it in a way that it could be seen as being progressive or positive in some way.If you feel that the words or sentiments of the voice, the critical voice were just harmful and had no positive intention at all, then that Is fine, there does not have to be... When you have done that, then move on to the next step.
|
Step Four |
This is the fun part of the process... Start to morph the critic into the person who you thought of prior to step one. The encouraging and supportive person (or the imaginary person).Imagine the change happening in the features, in the details of how they look and the colours updating. Notice the sound of the voice beginning to change, the tonality and pace of what is being said. Notice how it makes you feel to see this person.Really create the change, I love this part because of my penchant for sci-fi and fantasy films where this happens a great deal! Once you have got the old critic transformed into the new person, then move on to the next step.
|
Step Five |
If there was some kind of positive intention behind the critic's previous dialogue, then now is the time to refer to it and let the new voice start to encourage you and support you with the same positive intention. If there was no positive intention that you could decipher, then let the new person start to encourage and support you - let it say the words to you that are undeniably convincing that they mean well, that you belief unconditionally and let them be words that make sure you take action, or that change how you respond to that situation, or that empower you, or that really put a smile on your face.You'll know what is most useful for you in this situation, so let that start to happen. Let that be said.
Start to notice the words of encouragement are dominating your mind, filling your mind with progressive sentiments in that situation and notice the words beginning to appear in written form, in bright colours and with more pronounced sounds.As you focus on the progressive words repeating themselves in your mind, let them effect your feelings. Notice the good feelings growing and developing and even imagine them spreading through your body in some way.Take all the time you need to spread relaxing and enjoyably good feelings throughout your body while the encouraging, positive dialogue persists in your mind, then move on to the next step.
|
Step Six |
Now imagine a time in the future when you'll be in a similar situation. Really be there in that place and in that scenario. Then start to let the positive, progressive internal dialogue start to play inside your mind. Mentally rehearse the new voice dominating your mind in that situation.Notice how this changes things for you. Notice how you behave as a result of the internal dialogue, how you take action, how you feel good - notice what is different.Tell yourself that this is how you communicate with yourself in the future and that each time you practice this process you become more naturally inclined to let go of the old unwanted critic and enjoy the new, progressive encouraging internal dialogue.
With that completed, move on to the final step.
|
Step Seven |
Exit hypnosis with a couple of deep breaths, wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes. Remind yourself of the new, progressive internal dialogue and think about going and putting yourself in that situation where you can become encouraged by it.Then that is it... Enjoy it, practice it a few times and then let that voice inspire you, motivate you, drive you and support you.We have a double bank holiday here this weekend as we celebrate the Queens jubilee and so I'll be back after those shenanigans have taken place. Until then, get your internal dialogue working for you

How To Use Hypnosis Effectively
|
|
Our Australian friend Bob Collier explains his reason for writing this beginners guide to using hypnosis effectively which is available from Amazon for the Kindle:-"I've been fascinated by 'personal development' and 'self-improvement' for more than thirty years and if you knew me thirty years ago and met me now it would be obvious to you that I've had good results from my interest.
I'm not a hypnotist or a hypnotherapist. I don't produce hypnosis MP3s and I don't supply them. I'm a satisfied customer. This gives me a unique perspective. My guide to understanding and maximizing the benefits of hypnosis MP3s is the product of years of interest in hypnosis as an 'end user', including research and trialing downloadable hypnosis recordings and programs from more than forty different hypnotists and hypnotherapists. This book is now available for the Kindle at http://www.amazon.co.uk/How-Use-Hypnosis-Effectively-ebook/dp/B009CDW46O

HELEN JOHNSTONE - HAMPSHIRE "I attended the 10 month course which ran from October 2011- July 2012. The course is interesting, fun, fast paced, encouraging, confidence building, skill packing and very professionally run by Adam and his team. Realistically, it required a lot of committment in time and effort, which in reality was easy to give with the knowledge and new zest for learning that Adam's enthusiasm brings.
Adam and his team were of constant support to me throughout the course and I feel lucky to be able to consider them to be good friends and confidantes now. I have qualified and feel confident that the knowledge,confidence, skills and practical experience I have gained during this course will serve me very well in practice"..

GEORGE WATSON - GLENROTHES, FIFE, SCOTLAND "I booked up to Adam Eason School of Therapeutic Hypnosis in 2010, and I really did not know what to expect, I was very interested in Hypnosis, but what is taught throughout the diploma course is by far the best around. Adam's very unique style is very uplifting and thorough and I leave his school with much more knowledge and well trained in clinical hypnotherapy. If you want trained to the high standard that Therapeutic Hypnotherapy should attain then look no further than Adam's School" |
