National Stop Smoking Day - 9th March

Providing you really WANT to give up then Hypnotherapy might be the solution for you.  Hypnotherapy works differently from most other therapies.  It's drug free and there is no physical manipulation.  We work directly with the subconscious mind helping you to make those positive changes by guiding you into a deeply relaxed trance state.  Here we can focus on those negative behaviours that you wish to change.  Results are often achieved faster than with other therapies.
The benefits of stopping begin straight away. You reduce your risk of getting serious disease no matter what age you give up.
 • Within 20 minutes, your blood pressure drops to normal
 • Within 24 hours the chance of a heart attack has decreased
 • Within 2 weeks circulation improves
 • Within 2 years the Lung Cancer death rate is almost halved!
However, the sooner you stop smoking, the greater the reduction in your risk.
 • Breathing improves
 • Chest infections and colds become less frequent
 • Reduction in 'smoker's cough'
 • The smell of stale tobacco on clothes, hair, breath, and face goes
 • Foods and drinks taste and smell much better
 • Finances improve immediately. A 20-a-day smoker spends around £60 a week, or £3,000 a year!
 • You look healthier and feel good about yourself
 • Physical activity is easier
So there is every reason to give up your smoking habit for good.
A Stop-Smoking Hypnotherapy sessions costs just £130.  So you start saving money in 3 weeks!

New Premises, New Beginnings

Well, it really was hard work moving into new premises last weekend.  With hubby unable to help due to his recent back operation I had to do most of it myself.  Thankfully I had a couple of amazing friends who helped me move the large pieces of furniture and I cannot thank them enough. 

So I now work in this fabulous Victorian room with high ceilings and beautiful wooden floors with it's own private entrance.  Yes, Ridgewood Community Centre is a bit of a rabbit warren, but thankfully clients have been able to find me by following the signs.  

I hope I've managed to create a wonderfully relaxing room which is perfect for Hypnotherapy.  I also run meditation classes from here too on a Thursday morning from 10am.  

My new large room will enable me to expand my business into new and exciting things such as training courses (Spiritual Healing) and group therapy sessions for Hypno-Birthing, so watch the websites for details.

Also if you're interested in Aloe Vera I'm a distributor for Forever Living so you can order through me and collect or  I can deliver if you live locally.  Ask me if you would like to "Try Before You Buy".

My new address is The Cottage, Ridgewood Community Centre, 244 Station Road, Yate, BS37 4AF and you are welcome to pop in tomorrow (Tuesday 9th Feb) as I'm having an Open Day if you would like to have a chat about any of the therapies I offer.

You Can Rewire Your Brain

So, here we are nearly at the end of January already, where does the time go?  Christmas is but a distant memory and as our thoughts now start to turn to our Summer holidays, how well are you're sticking to your New Year's Resolution? Probably not very well and I suspect that if you've taken on 3 or 4 changes most of them have fallen by the wayside already.

But don't despair - forget about those resolutions you've not stuck with for the time being, put them to the back of your mind and start to really concentrate on just the one you're still doing.  

It can take up to 6 weeks of hard work in order to re-wire your brain into accepting these changes into becoming your new habit.  You see a habit is like a well-worn path through a large field.  So, let’s say this path takes you to marshland and that is not where you want to go any more.  You would like to now go to the berry bush in the corner of the field.  The only problem is that there is no path to the berry bush, and the grass in the field is four feet high and hard to walk through. 

Obviously, the thing you need to do is to make a new path.  It may be a little difficult and will certainly be a lot harder than going down the well-worn path.  But, if you want to get to the berry bush that is what you need to do.

Imagine you have walked to the berry bush a couple of times creating a rough but visible pathway.  Then you begin down the original path again and you come to a fork where you see the well-worn path that leads to the marshland and the less trodden path that leads to the berry bush.  

What happens when you choose the berry bush path every time you come to the fork?  It becomes easier and easier to walk down.  And what happens to the other path?  It grows over and becomes more and more difficult to walk down.  A new habit is forming and at some point it will become effortless, automatic.

So, the good news is…..we all have the ability to learn and change by re-wiring our brains.  If you have ever changed a bad habit or thought about something differently, you have created a new pathway in your brain.  With repetition and desire you can rewire your brain!
