As the Commonwealth games got started last night, we have been encountering a right Royal heatwave here in the UK, especially so here on the south coast, and even though we all love the sunshine, many people asked me if there was anything that could be done to help get to sleep at night while it is so hot. 

Well, it just so happens that I wrote an evidence based article to help you all with just that.... Using Self-Hypnosis To Cool Down Body Temperature

If you live in colder climes, or want to be able to warm-up for any reason at all, then you can simply go and read a different article I wrote about using self-hypnosis to do that instead. Using Self-Hypnosis For That 'Deep Heat' Effect

Both warming and cooling ourselves, and affecting our perception of that are very possible using self-hypnosis. 

Additionally, to help with any restless nights, there are plenty of other things you can do with self-hypnosis to help. 

if you find that you wake up in the night and struggle to get back to sleep, then this article has a great technique to help you with that. Getting Back To Sleep With Mindfulness, Self-hypnosis and Dissociation

If you simply cannot get yourself settled in order to drift off to sleep in the first place, then why not use the power of boredom? 

Alternatively, in order to lull yourself to sleep, you might just want to quiet your mind.... Use Hypnosis To Quiet The Mind And Drift To Sleep

If you want to help your sleep process when it is not bedtime, then you can use this wonderful process. Using Self-Hypnosis To Utilise Your Regular Routine To Enhance Sleep

Whether you are experiencing a heatwave that has resulted in you having to deal with conditions you are not used to as many are here at the moment, or if you just need to get equipped for better sleep for any other reason, I am certain there are plenty of things here to help you. 

Joke Of The Week

I give you four jokes this week. All are courtesy of the jokes printed on the inside label of my children's yoghurt pots that they have during the week. I actually found them rather amusing....

Q: What do you call an underwater spy?

A: James Pond!

Q: Why did the policeman go to the baseball game?

A: He heard someone had stolen a base!

Q: Why did the book join the police?

A: He wanted to go undercover!

Q: Why was there thunder and lightning in the lab?

A: The scientists were brainstorming! 

Hahahahahahaha, I had to share those 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:

- Surgical spell: Using hypnosis instead of anesthesia

- Cancer Patients Choosing Hypnosis Over Counselling
