How Does Hypnosis Help Insomnia?

Do you have trouble getting to sleep? Do you fall asleep quickly only to wake up after a few hours? Both situations are called insomnia. It’s an inability to get restful and restorative sleep. The condition plagues millions of Americans every year, and it’s one of the single biggest complaints at doctor’s offices.

What causes it?

It can be caused by a variety of conditions. Psychological problems, such as depression, anxiety and post-traumatic stress disorder, can cause loss of sleep. It can also be caused by health problems, such as asthma, allergies, acid reflux, cancer, or chronic pain.You may be surprised to learn that some of your medications may be causing the loss of shut-eye. The following medicines can cause insomnia: antidepressants;  cold and flu medications containing alcohol; pain relievers containing caffeine (Midol, Excedrin); diuretics, and high blood pressure medications. Other causes could be from restless leg disorder, sleep apnea or narcolepsy.

Many people can relate to settling in for the night, only to run through the day’s events over and over in their heads. Or, you may lay in bed and worry about  something to come. You’re stressed over your job, your kids, or money. Your thoughts keep you awake. When the alarm goes off in the morning, you drag yourself out of bed. By that night, you repeat it all over. The thoughts keep running, and the clock keeps ticking through the hours.

For many people, this cycle continues night after night. You’re irritable, fatigued, and unable to clarify your thoughts. You do your best to keep yourself trekking  through your day’s activities. The biggest problem is your body and brain needs deep sleep in order to function at its best.

How can hypnosis help?

Hypnosis is a powerful and natural way to address a variety of emotional issues. If stress, anxiety, depression, or even pain, are the cause, it can be addressed  through guided relaxation.  It begins by helping you relax your mind and body. Through different techniques, your therapist can help you address the underlying problems, such as stress,  worry or pain.  Your mind is able stop the continual thoughts. Your breathing slows down. Your muscles loosen and allow your entire body to feel relaxed.

Your therapist can help you reach this state at each session. He can teach you how to use self-help techniques at bedtime, so that every night, you get able to achieve a complete,  restorative sleep cycle.

If you’re suffering from sleep loss, don’t wait another night.  Contact us or call Advanced Hypnosis of America  at 888-890-2110 to discuss how our hypnotists can help you.  A good night’s sleep is only a phone call away.

Are you an avid competitor?

Have you lost your edge?

Do you wish you could hit a grand slam, get a hole in one, or break the mile-run record?

Regardless of your chosen sport, you can increase your abilities with the power of hypnosis.

Any type of sport requires a combination of physical and mental abilities. Obviously, you’re aware of the physical ability required to perform. You may be practicing for hours every single day.

The phrase “practice makes perfect” rings through your mind. And for good reason. The repetition of physical motion helps your muscles retain those motions. It becomes easier and easier with every practice.

The second part of a sport is the mental ability. It’s not a matter of intelligence, but rather of how well you can control your mind and thoughts.

Have you ever heard of the runner’s high or playing in the zone? Those sayings describe the feeling a person has when they are completely focused on the game. Their mind and body are working as one, and they’re succeeding.

Do you want to beat your competition?

If you’re ready to bring your competitive edge to every game call us at 888-890-2110. We’re here to help you.

A competitive edge starts within your mind. You get on the golf course, and the thoughts start rambling: Where’s my swing? What’s wrong with me? I used to play better. Look at Jack play;  I’ll never beat him.

These are limiting beliefs.  They stop you from believing in yourself.  They prevent you from getting what you want.

How will your body ever hit that shot, if your mind knows you’ll miss?

Hypnosis is a powerful tool for eliminating those negative thoughts and beliefs. It allows you to address your subconscious, which is home to your habits, thoughts and beliefs. It’s like a by-pass button past the negativity of your conscious mind.

Have you seen people at their sports performance peak? They’re in complete concentration and make each movement and success look like a piece of cake. These fierce competitors have gained two important skills: eliminating negative beliefs and practicing successful visualization.

Just as your body remembers those unlimited hours of practice, your mind can learn by practicing, too. Sit back and visualize how you’ll feel on the golf course, tennis court, baseball diamond, ballet stage or soccer field?

Think of your performance with as much detail as possible. What do you see, hear, feel and touch? Can you see the ball land in the hole? Do you feel a rush when score a goal or make the perfect pirouette?

You can increase your ability to visualize by using hypnosis. In a super relaxed state, you’ll feel exactly as if you were actually performing your sport. You’ll feel the course grass, hear the applause, feel the breeze on your face, see the track under your feet and watch your success.

Just imagine – you can be in the zone anytime you want.

Train your mind, and edge out your competition. Call us at 888-890-2110, or fill out our CONTACT FORM, to discuss how hypnosis can improve your sports performance. We’re waiting to help you.

In today’s changing economic times, many people are searching for new careers or trying to update their skills. By making yourself more in demand, you’ll find a new career or perhaps even a better job than you currently have.

Some people discover that tackling new skills can be a hardship, between life stresses and concentration problems. The good news is hypnosis can help you gain focus, concentration and recall.

How does hypnosis work?

Hypnosis is considered an alternative health therapy, where a person is guided into a relaxed state. During this state, a person can address their subconscious, which houses your beliefs, thoughts and habits. Hypnotherapy can help with a wide range of learning issues, such as increasing focus, confidence and memory recall.

Do you want a better future?

If you’re going back to school to earn a certificate or degree, are you noticing your mind isn’t as sharp as it used to be? Are you having trouble retaining new information? Do you find it hard to settle down and study? Are you doing well in your class only to score horribly on the tests?

These are typical problems that people face when trying to learn new things. While the issues may be troublesome, you can overcome them and reach your goal.

Do You Want To Learn More?

If you’re ready to take control of your future, call us at 888-890-2110. We’re here to help you.

Try to narrow down the areas in your life causing you the most problems.

Make a list of areas you need to address. Do you want to increase your learning time, memory recall, confidence level, and concentration abilities?

Your hypnotherapist will help you reach your goals. Be honest and let him know what you’re currently struggling with. Share your expectations and goals.

After an initial consultation, your therapist will decide on the best method to help you. It could be a combination of therapy techniques, such as hypnosis and NLP (neuro-linguistic programming).

Your hypnotherapist will make you feel comfortable. He’ll guide you to a super relaxed state, also known as a trance. In trance, he can make suggestions directly to your subconscious, which holds your habits, thoughts and beliefs.

If you’re struggling with learning difficulties, try hypnosis — safe and effective alternative approach.

In a few short sessions, you’ll gain the ability to concentrate, focus, and learn quicker and easier than you ever thought was possible.

Learning difficulties don’t have to stop you.

The easiest way to learn is a phone call away. Call us at 888-890-2110, or fill out our CONTACT FORM to discuss how you can use the power of hypnosis to reach your dreams. We’re waiting to help you.

As an experienced golfer, you have known the thrill and satisfaction that comes from hitting a solid shot. What do you remember about that perfect shot? Or that great putt? The smell of the fresh cut grass in the air, the feel of the club in your hands, taking your practice swings and finding that special feeling before stepping up to the ball, and the sound and the feel of the club when you hit the “sweet spot”. All that information is in you just waiting to be tapped again.

But you also know when you are off your game and know the pain and frustration of a really bad shot. The ones that end up in the woods or in the water traps. Through those bad shots, you know you weren’t in the same place mentally or physically.

You’ve hired golf coaches to correct your swing mechanics and invested a lot of time and money in the newest clubs and gadgets to improve your game.

You have studied the game thoroughly and racked up many practice hours with some improvement, but you can’t seem to perform on consistent basis.

What do the top golfers know that you don’t? How do they consistently meet their scoring goals?

If you watch golf’s elite players, you can see a difference. You can see it when a great golfer like Tiger Woods prepares to take a shot. There is definite a change in the face and in the body that tells you they are shutting out the world and sizing up the situation. They are in the Zone when they step up to take the shot, you can see confidence in their eyes and their swing.

Here’s the secret: your score isn’t determined by those newest clubs, gadgets or techniques. It’s how you think during the 1 ½ seconds it takes to automatically swing the club that determines your game.

Are you shocked? Do you agree with that statement?

Golf is a mind-body game. You have to train your subconscious mind and your body to work together automatically, without interference from conscious thoughts sabotaging your shots.

Through golf performance hypnosis you will learn how to return to the zone on command, achieve total focus, build self-confidence, thrive under pressure, rid yourself of the yips, remember your best shots, relax and swing with tempo, and play in the moment one shot at a time. Hypnosis can help you play like the champion you are.

If you’re ready to play like a golf pro,  CONTACT Advanced Hypnosis of America for more information on sports enhancement hypnosis.
