Hello Welcome To This Week's Adam Up
|
|
Before I crack into the real meat of this week's Adam up, I am delighted that we have 4 new hypnosis audio tracks available in our store as of today.
I will have a further 8 new tracks available for you in a couple of weeks.
In between then, we'll also be launching the new, all singing, all dancing 'Science of Self-Hypnosis' audio programme. I am so excited to be able to share that with you next week.

Technique To Alleviate Pain Using Self-Hypnosis
|
|
One of the chapters of my new self-hypnosis book (well under way for launch later this year) is showing people how to use self-hypnosis to alleviate pain.
Todays Adam Up shows one such technique to help do that, however, the technique can be used for a number of other types of applications, as you see fit or applicable yourself. There are a very wide number of ways to use self-hypnosis to overcome or alleviate pain, this is one basic process to add to a larger repertoire. You'll notice I refer to another article of mine within this process which I tend to think can advance and enhance the effects of this process if you require it. A point that I make to anyone and everyone regarding using self-hypnosis to alleviate pain, is that you must not attempt to alleviate the pain for any longer than a typical pain killing tablet would last for and you must consult with your doctor regarding pain - do not simply use self-hypnosis techniques to block out pain and ignore it. Pain is there for a reason and requires a medical professional to examine it before you do anything else.

Self-Hypnosis Blocking Pain Messages To The Brain
|
Step One:
Make sure you are sat (if possible) with your arms and legs uncrossed in a place where you'll be undisturbed for the duration of this technique. Induce hypnosis.You can do so by any means you desire or know of. You can use the process in my self-hypnosis book, use the free audio at this website to practice or have a look at the following articles as and when you need them; they are basic processes to help you simply open the door of your mind:
|
|
|
|
Step Two:
Tune into yourself. Be mindful.
Spend a bit of time just observing your breathing rate, noticing the thoughts that are going through your mind and noticing your feelings. Become aware of the pain you are experiencing, while also becoming aware of the details of that pain. Just watch it, observe it without interfering with it for the time being.
Relax your body as much as you possibly can with your thoughts. Methodically relax your body with your intention and focus and tell yourself that being mindful and relaxing is taking you deeper into hypnosis.
Then move on to step three.
|
Step Three:
Imagine you have two wires (or cables) carrying all the information from your body to your brain. From the area where the pain was in your body, imagine two thick, coloured wires going from that area of your body to the brain.
The first one carries all the nerve messages regarding pain from the area to the brain. This pipe is a particular colour.
The second wire is a different colour, and it carries all other impulses between that area and your brain. However, it cannot carry pain signals at all. It is incapable of carrying pain signals, they are all carried exclusively by the other wire.
| |
Notice the details of the wire, notice if you can sense the messages moving within them and really tune in to them.
Just know that the more you believe in these wires, the more effective this process is going to be for you. As you look at them, trust that you can use them to change the way you experience the old pain response.
Once you have convinced yourself of this, move on to the next step.
|
Step Four:
Using your imagination, follow the first wire with your awareness all the way to where it plugs into your brain. Follow it and go to the end of the wire and pull out the wire that used to carry the pain messages. Unplug it. For a while, just pull it out, the same way you'd pull out a telephone cable.
As it does that, notice how the pain signals can no longer reach your brain and it is as if the pain has been switched off. Perhaps you notice the responses happening immediately, or it might take a small amount of time for the response to fully drain away and not be recognized by your brain.
Trust that over the course of the next 4 hours, it will gradually find it's way back to the socket, but you remain pain-free while it is unplugged as none of the pain messages can reach your brain.
Step Five:
With the wire unplugged focus exclusively on a completely different part of your body and spend some time relaxing your body once again. Really take your time doing this now. Engage in some progressive relaxation while you have the wire unplugged. You can do this in a number of ways... - You can imagine tensing and relaxing the muscles of your body one by one.
- You can simply breathe and say the word 'soften' to yourself as you think of the muscles of your body.
- You can spread a colour through your body, one muscle at a time.
- Imagine light spreading through you, relaxing you deeply.
- Imagine that you are a rag doll and that your muscles are loose, limp and dormant.
There are many, many other ways to use progressive relaxation. Just use whatever process you know of to deeply relax and allow your body to be more and more relaxed as you let the pain signals just dissipate. Once you have done that for a good period of time, move on to the next step.
Step Seven:
Once you have spent enough time developing and building the anaesthesia, now convince yourself that you have switched off the old pain messages, gently assure yourself and convince yourself using your imagination.
Use your cognitions and affirm it to yourself. Say it to yourself, let yourself gently believe in it.
Step Eight:
Exit hypnosis. Take a couple of deep breaths, count yourself up and out of hypnosis, wiggle your fingers and toes. Bring the changes and the pain relief with you into your real-life.
As with so many self-hypnosis techniques, this one requires practice and repetition, I recommend practicing once a day at least, for 2 weeks to really get good at this process. When you practice it though, I think you'll amaze yourself at how easy it is to do and how effective it can be when applied diligently.

Jill Aldridge,
Hypnotherapist, Poole, Dorset. "I genuinely believe that Adam Eason and his diploma course in hypnotherapy are unique. I am yet to meet another hypnotherapist who even comes close to possessing Adam's incredible wealth of life-experience, almost unbelievable depth of knowledge, and astonishing skill as a hypnotist and a hypnotherapist. On top of that, Adam is a thoroughly nice man, who gives his time, patience and understanding generously to everyone he meets. He also has a great sense of humour, and peppers everything he does with entertaining stories, fun humour, and lots and lots of laughs.
This course is a LOT of hard work, but it gives you the most thorough and comprehensive knowledge and set of practical skills, which genuinely leave you fully-equipped to go straight into practise as a hypnotherapist. Adam's course covers many different techniques and approaches to hypnotherapy, but his own evidence-based cognitive-behavioural preference (which the course leans towards) really rings true for me, and helps to give this field an ever-increasing amount of credibility.
Adam is a brilliant teacher, an extraordinary hypnotherapist, a highly successful author, an accomplished runner, a great father, and much much more. Doing his diploma course is the best decision I have ever made, and was worth every single penny."

Tennis Coach & Hypnotherapist, Germany. "If you're looking to combine Hypnosis, NLP, Cognitive Bavioural Therapy and many other therapeutic methods into a fantastic toolbox to become a competent therapist or coach, you've come to the right place.
Apart from being very professional, authentic and caring, Adam provided us with a wonderful, fun-filled learning environment throughout the course. To me, he seems to be like a therapeutic Lexicon which you can tap into at any time to enchance your own competency as a therapist.
I also benefited personally from learning a vast array of cutting-edge information which
enhanced my personal growth tremendously.
Every month I looked forward to another weekend of training with Adam and his team.
The course was worth every penny!"

Fiona McGill,
Hypnotherapist, Basingstoke, Hampshire "
When I was researching hypnotherapy courses, I came across quite a few, one being Adams. I looked thoroughly through all of the websites and the various prospectuses and decided to choose Adams course because the prospectus was in a lot of detail and outlined the various parts of the course. It also seemed to be the most interactive and practical course which I think is extremely important in this line of work. A mixture of both theory and practical is needed to gain a well-rounded perspective and skill set in order to work as a hypnotherapist. Another main reason for choosing to study with Adam Eason was because the course was taught by himself rather than a company providing teachers for the course. This made it seem more personable and showed his passion and love for the subject.
The course was utterly fantastic, it was the best decision I have made in my life. Even as a young person looking to begin a career I felt comfortable and well suited to the course. The content exceeded my expectations and the course covered a lot of subjects and problems that we would see clients for. I also believe that because Adam has a set of course assistants who were fabulous and have previously completed his course, it provides the students with extra support and guidance and because they have completed his course they understand the process we are going through.
Adam is a fabulous teacher and his personality really comes through in his teaching. He used his knowledge and experience to guide us and help us to become the best therapists we can be. He provided detailed feedback during the homework calls and about our practical work. his explanation of the techniques was clear and thorough. He made the course extremely enjoyable and a great learning experience.
The mentor I was supplied had completed Adams course the previous year and was already a thriving hypnotherapist. This really hit home that we can start a successful business if we put our mind to it.
With each module of the course, I felt more comfortable and capable in delivering therapies to clients, it is a great help working with others on the course and delivering hypnotic techniques in order to practice and gain feedback.
I would recommend the course to anyone interested in Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy. Being a part of Adams school not only means getting a hypnotherapy qualification, it also includes the opportunity to attend peer support groups, business developments groups, self-hypnosis and rapid induction courses. Adam has a great deal of experience and provides the most comprehensive on-going support to people who attend his courses. I believe that had I have completed another course, my journey would have ended after the course finished and I would have only be taught the course material, Adam has run extra courses and support groups for members of the public as well as students which has been fantastic in helping us be a part of the hypnosis community.
This course has been a life changing event and I have made lifelong friends. I cannot thank Adam and the assistants enough for everything they have given me. I will continue to be friends with everyone and progress onto being a successful hypnotherapist."

Patricia Worby,
Therapist, Southampton "Studying with Adam has been both personally and professionally transformational. This course is for anyone serious about studying Hypnotherapy at the highest level. The homework is extensive and rigorously marked; Adam is never unfair but always honest in his feedback. His teaching is passionate and informed by his wide knowledge and experience. By the end of the course you will have had a thorough grounding in the subject - with a particular focus on Cognitive Behavioural Hypnotherapy which is Adam's passion.
I took this course as I wanted to challenge myself in an area in which I am not confident - my choice was vindicated."
