Age Regression
Age regression is a way of accessing ones memories from an earlier time. This can be helpful to remember what has been forgotten, or to release emotional trauma from an earlier time.
The unconscious mind has the ability to repress memories, which would occur particularly if the memory has some negative emotion attached to it, negative emotion, which the individual would be unable to deal wit. However, when the unconscious knows you are ready to deal with that emotion, it can represent those memories for resolution.
Sometimes, we can remember events from the past and continue to recreate the negative emotions that went with them. Age regression can be particularly useful in this area, in fact an NLP technique called Change Personal History, can help a person to change the way they represent their memories to themselves.
Due to the power of the unconscious, which is also responsible for creating the imagination, care and a gentle indifference must be considered when performing age regression using hypnosis for traumatic memories that have been forgotten. This is because the imagination may create scenarios which justify the feelings. These scenarios may be real memories, or they may not be.
When using age regression to remember more generic things that have been forgotten, e.g. loosing your keys, age regression in hypnosis can be a particularly useful tool. All of your memories are stored in the unconscious, so even if you cannot consciously remember where you left you keys, there is a part of you that knows. (And it will usually remind you as soon as you stop thinking about the keys!) Hypnosis can be used to retrace the steps taken just before the loss of memory, and ideomotor signals can be used as a direct way of communicating with the unconscious. These are generally yes and no signals which are given in answer to questions by unconscious movements, such as a finger being raised to indicate yes, and a different finger being raised to indicate no.

Hypnotherapy and NLP For Curing Allergies Is Not To Be Sniffed At!
How often do we accept a label and fully live up to it? Well the answer may be many more times than we should. The challenge that we have as human beings is that we have used words to identify things, but the words are never fully reflective of the true experience.
For example, lets say you go to the doctors one summers day because your eyes are sore and your nose is runny. The likely hood is that your doctor, whom you respect and trust will apply a label to your symptoms, in an effort to provide an explanation of your experience so that it can then be treated.
So your doctor tells you, have Hay fever. From that Summer onwards you grow to expect your Hay fever visitor. You know how you will feel, what your symptoms will be, when they will start, when they will stop. You even compare your suffering with other sufferers, to compete against who suffers the most!
When do you know to stop being a Hay fever sufferer- how do you know that you haven’t grown out of it? Could your expectation of it be the sole reason that it is continually re-created?
How about stress? Is that a factor for allergy sufferers? For many asthmatics eczema and psoriasis sufferers it is a deciding factor in the severity of the condition.
So how can NLP and hypnosis help? Well as we know one of the major frames of NLP is the cause and effect frame. This moves the client out of “I suffer” and into “I create.” This in itself may not be enough to stop the allergic reaction, but does at least get the client away from relying on a treatment for the problem and looking more towards how they continue to cause it. Perhaps they can begin to notice how their diet affects their level of resistance, or to look for homeopathic and natural remedies to counteract the symptoms.
For those whose Symptoms are aggravated by stress, Hypnosis is especially beneficial at creating relaxation and relieving tension and suggestions for healing can be given to the patient.

Your Bed May Be Your Most Underrated Piece of Furniture.
Okay listen up folks how badly do you feel if you go several days we insufficient sleep? Well according to recent research you may well actually be suffering more than you think. Apparently missing out on sleep can cause the brain to stop producing new cells. Bear this in mind the next time you are out shopping and you are hoping to buy new beds and accessories etc.
It has always been the situation when you're looking for a new bed where the bed shop salesman for want of a better description gives you the hard sell on quite why the bed is so important and why sleep is so important but now it would appear that research albeit by accident would appear to support the bed salesman's claim
The above research was carried out by a team from Princeton University who found the lack of sleep affects the hippocampus; this for uninitiated is the region of the brain involved in forming brain cells.
Okay, okay, I know that the work was carried out on rats but scientists reckon that this particular study could mirror accurately what happens with human beings.
The long and short of it means that when we are out either buying a new bed or replacing our old one etc, we really should take the process seriously.
It is difficult I know, for most freethinking men when they're being led around the shops by their loved one's to take this sort of transaction seriously but we should.
So the next time your wife, girlfriend, partner, whatever, stops to talk to you about adjustable beds and accessories, memory foam mattress toppers adjustable bed linens even, get serious and pay attention because it matters.
There are also a small number of basic tips you can observe to ensure that you get a better night's sleep. Firstly it is always advisable if you keep regular hours. This means going to bed and getting up at roughly the same time. This helps to program your body into understanding and getting better sleep.
Another useful habit to get into is to create a suitably restful sleep environment. Your bedroom should be kept for rest sleep (and relaxation if you know what I mean?) and should be neither too hot nor too cold and it always helps if you can keep it as quiet and dark as possible.
Finally I found out recently that apparently the month of March in the United Kingdom is National Bed Month. The promotion surrounding this is Get the seven year itch. Apparently the idea they recommend is that you should be buying a new bed every seven to 10 years.
That however is only a recommended interval and according to experts people should be looking out for signs of wear and tear long before that. It could be by the time your bed is seven years old it is past its best.
The last thing you should remember and now this is a salutary thought. When you bought your last car, I bet you didn't buy it without having test drive and doing a fair amount of research. Is it not amazing that you don't do a similar amount of research when it comes to buying a bed and yet you spend more time in your bed you do in your car!
