Build our bodies to excellent condition.

Tuesday, March 24th, 2009

I have written about how hypnosis can help us operate our bodies and bring them to peak performance. This is very good, what if my body is not in the best of condition?

It serves each and every one of us to have our bodies in very good condition. Why? Because it is healthier for us. We are able to do more activities when we are in good health and condition. We don’t get winded on that long flight of stairs where there is no elevator, or possibly your golf game without a cart.

I have found a gentleman who can help just about any of us to get back into tip top shape without participating in and experiencing major cardio workouts. Mike Geary is a certified Nutritionist and a Certified Personal Trainer.  He knows what is appropriate to eat, and when as well as how to exercise to get the results that we desire. As I mentioned, he does not believe in extended cardio workouts. Mike finds superior results by using a form of interval training that he has developed over a number of years. This also fits in quite well with Dr. Al Sears MD, who I listen to closely, and his concepts of interval training and good healthy eating.

Since this connects so well for me I felt that I just have to let other people know about this gre3at opportunity for us to get healthy. I have a website posted that has Mike writing about his philosophy, he does it more eloquently that I can because I just started working with him and believe in his total approach with the one exception, and that being the use of Self Hypnosis to  get my subconscious on board for doing the actual action oriented program that Mike presents to each of us who want his help. Mike is not opposed to the hypnotic addition to ones getting healthy.

To read more by Mike, go to my awesome abs page and read what he believe gives us the best results for our bodies.

Peace and Health

Pain Control with vipassana

Monday, March 9th, 2009

 This is an article that I just received from Al Sears, MD.

As a doctor, he looks for natural, drug free forms of health healing. He also has a great program and philosophy for exercise and eating. Well worth signing up for his newsletter.

Dear Keith,The University of Iowa took brain scans on pain suffers and found results that were remarkable.1 They could actually see the parts of the brain that experience pain shutting down. How did they do it? They used a technique that will surprise you.The lead author of the study, an anesthesiologist, said he thinks this technique is approximately 65% - 70% effective against pain.A panel of experts at the National Institutes of Health said the same thing. They found that this technique can fight pain of all kinds.2 I’m not just talking about headaches. The research revealed that it can work for painful conditions from chronic illness to irritable bowel syndrome.Even mainstream media is on board. The Wall Street Journal said, “Numerous scientific studies have emerged in recent years showing that the [technique] can exert a real and powerful effect on the body.”3I have some good news: You can teach yourself this technique with the right guidance, in the comfort of your own home. It’s medical hypnosis. It’s a scientifically proven way you can beat pain – without the dangerous side effects of pain medications.Here’s just one example you can try at home. It’s based on an ancient form of breathing meditation from India called vipassana.

  1. Get yourself into a comfortable position. It can be sitting in your favorite chair, on the sofa, even lying down in bed.
  2. Make sure your environment is as quiet as possible. Turn off the TV or radio, have the kids go play outside—whatever it takes to create a peaceful, still atmosphere.
  3. Close your eyes and begin gently focusing your attention on your breathing. Breathe naturally, without trying to control it. Do this for about 5 minutes, so that your mind settles down a bit and your body feels relaxed.
  4. Gently let your attention rest on the source of your physical pain, keeping your eyes closed. With each breath, focus gentle awareness on the place where the pain happens.
  5. Now imagine breathing “into” that place. Allow your attention to rest in the area of the pain and breathe in with gentle awareness. You can even place your hand over the area.
  6. Imagine your pain responding to your breathing by “opening up” and slowly disappearing. Do this for 5 to 10 minutes, however long is most comfortable for you.
  7. Complete your meditation by bringing your awareness back to your breath for a minute or so and opening your eyes.

This is an effective way to change your experience of pain over time. You’re teaching your body to “relax” with the pain. This keeps it to a minimum. I know it sounds funny, but you’ll see real results if you stick to it.

I learned this technique from a medical hypnosis expert named Dr. Maggie Phillips. She has been training doctors all over the world for years on how to use your mind to reduce and control pain. She’s someone I’ve come to trust.

Dr. Phillips put together a four-CD course, Hypnosis: The Pain Solution, which I offer folks here at my Wellness Center. My patients tell me it really works. One 47-year-old man I’ll call Jose struggled for years with habit-forming pain medications. He said:

“Since adding Maggie Phillip’s guided hypnosis to my daily regimen, I’ve improved dramatically. I stopped using prescription drugs everyday. The amount I take now is almost down to zero.”
