Welcome To This Week's Adam Up
Much More Than Just A Hypnotherapy Diploma

The Summer may have only just got under way, but we have had our focus on Christmas this week. 

Not only have we planned our annual Christmas Party, but on the same day, we'll be welcoming guest tutor Mark Chappell to the school to run a pain management CPD seminar. 

Visit the Hub for further details on how to get yourself booked into these events - both are on the same day, so you can make a day and night of it. 


Boosting Your Immune System

This week, I wrote a short series of articles about boosting the immune system using self-hypnosis. 

Last weekend was the first weekend I had off following the end of the academic year for my hypnotherapy training school. I put a lot of energy into my training courses and as a result feel a bit jaded by the end of the academic year, so I like to make sure I am fully revitalised and rested ready for the start of the next academic year which starts in September.  

I spent some wonderful time with my wife and children at our beach hut, playing on the beach, in the sea, building castles, digging holes and eating ice creams. I got to go out running and we even had dinner out with friends and had a very relaxing enjoyable weekend. There'll be plenty more of that this Summer! 

It was really when I got back into the office that I had time to reflect properly on the end of academic year events. 

The end of year school party was great fun, the weekend module was great fun, I loved handing out the certificates of those who qualified and wishing everyone well with their journey's onwards in this field. 

The laughter was not just apparent this final module, it was there throughout the course. I take my subject and my work incredibly seriously, but I do not think I could do it if it were not fun. I also think laughter makes for a stimulating learning environment, and boy did we have some laughter on this year's course. Much of it you can see if you have access to the video footage in our Platinum members area. 

Many say that this kind of utter laughter is incredibly good for the immune system... So I make a habit of that kind of laughter as often as I can. 

There are schools of thought that believe those who have little laughter and joy in their lives are the ones whose immune systems let them down in a variety of ways... Whether it is getting colds more often or even something more serious. 

Earlier this week, I wrote an article looking at and citing the credible studies that we have to support the use of self-hypnosis to boost the immune system. Anyone with an interest in self-hypnosis should read this article. 

Effects of self-hypnosis on immune functioning: The evidence:

http://www.adam-eason.com/2014/07/14/effects-of-self-hypnosis-on-immune-functioning-the-evidence/

Having read and analysed the methodologies used within these studies, I shared a very adaptable process that anyone can use today and practice with, that is proven to help enhance your immune functioning. It is easy, step-by-step and has evidence to support it in abundance. 

How To Use Self-Hypnosis To Enhance Your Immune Functioning:

http://www.adam-eason.com/2014/07/15/how-to-use-self-hypnosis-to-enhance-your-immune-functioning/ 

I have written often about my love for all things fantastical... My favourite books are fantasy novels, my favourite films are fantasy and sci-fi... I think it may be this that resulted in me fancying myself as a white knight riding in to save the day when I first qualified as a hypnotherapist over 15 years ago.  

I still love the images conjured up in my mind though... The knight riding in. I have always loved being in Winchester, you go to see the stunning Cathedral and of course go to see King Arthurs table where he and his gallant knights would treat each other as equals and do chivalrous deeds...  They are the ultimate defeater of evil in my book... They stand for so much that I associate with strength, courage, well-being and for some reason... Health! 

I mean, you'd never expect to see a white Knight behaving in a half-hearted, morose manner with a cough and runny nose, would you? 

It is with that in mind that this final self-hypnosis session addressing immune functioning is designed... 

I am going to be predictable now (those of you that have been in my classrooms or that read this blog regularly will be aware that I refer to this show a LOT)... In an episode of Red Dwarf once... The team visit a 'psi-moon' - this is a place where Rimmer had landed and the planet took on the features of his psyche... Being a troubled individual, the planet had a monster that was Rimmer's self-loathing, it had the pit of despair, a grave yard filled with graves where his self-esteem, kindness, bravery and courage were all buried. 

In the real world, when he was feeling bad about himself, the planet became more entrenched in misery, but when the crew told Rimmer how much they loved him, Knights started raising up from the graveyard to slay the baddies; "take that, fear" they would say as they swiped them with swords... I loved it... The knights, almost like musketeers in their manner, were destroying all that was bad in Rimmer's mind... A very useful metaphor for me today. 

So, with regards to boosting immune functioning, there is much we can do in very general terms in addition to self-hypnosis. 

We can look at how we actually care for ourselves, we can look at dismantling stress, we can look at developing our health by examining our diet and exercise regime - all stuff that is not really my own professional sphere of competence. 

As I said earlier this week here, self-hypnosis has evidence to suggest it can be a great help too. Here is the other self-hypnosis I wrote up this week. 

Use Self-Hypnosis and Charge Into Battle To Boost Your Immune System: 

http://www.adam-eason.com/2014/07/16/use-self-hypnosis-and-charge-into-battle-to-boost-your-immune-system/ 

Read those three articles, follow the steps, repeat diligently and you'll derive results.

Joke Of The Week

Q. Why did the golfer take two pairs of socks to the golf course? 

A. Because he might get a hole in one! 

Hahahahahahaha, that was told by news reporter Arthur Sleep on my children's favourite TV show Gigglebiz, I had to share it this week. A big thank you to everyone who sends in the jokes each week, I love getting them.

Articles Of The Week

Here are a selection of topical articles that I enjoyed reading this week, often related to the fields of hypnosis, hypnotherapy, psychotherapy and other forms of personal development. Some may have just amused me or made me smile. My personal comments about them are in brackets and just because we feature an article here, it does not mean they represent my own views - most often, they do not! If you ever come across any related articles that you think may feature well, then get in touch with me and we can share them here:

- A story that has made numerous publications this week covers the application of hypnotic relaxation and self-hypnosis to reduce hot flashes in men. 

Time magazine: Hypnosis Reduced This Person's Hot Flashes By 94%

CTV News: Hypnosis: a possible treatment for hot flashes in women and men?

Science codex: Men's hot flashes: Hypnotic relaxation may ease the discomfort men don't talk about

PsychCentral: Hypnotic Relaxation May Ease Men's Hot Flashes

- A hypnotist appearance in a pub poses the usual questions about how hypnosis is understood. A man with no hypnotherapist qualifications, doing a hypnosis performance (then why refer to him as a 'hypnotherapist'?) is prosecuted for sexual misconduct. The prosecution suggests that hypnosis renders some totally vulnerable and refers to it as a state. 

The headline is crazy.... Hypnotherapist in sexual assault trial tells court 'I am a heeler not a feeler'

- This is more about NLP than hypnotherapy, despite what the author of the article states: 

The man who says coming to terms with your past and finding happiness is all in the mind

- I include this story, because of how the media represents things at times This story is totally unrelated to hypnosis, but they deem it necessary to write the occupation of the person suing. Hypnotherapy seems to make more interesting headlines it would seem....
