HYPNOTHERAPY & HYPNOANALYSIS
Hypnosis is the use of both verbal and non-verbal suggestion to assist people to enter a relaxed state of consciousness similar to the day-dreaming state.
Both hypnotherapy and hypnoanalysis invoke the use of the hypnotic state to cause changes in behaviour, or to release repressed traumas, in a way that is not possible in the normal waking state. These changes in behaviour are related to specific unhealthy conditions which may be troubling the subject such as:
| Compulsive Habits | Stress |
| Smoking | Phobias and Traumas |
| Addictions | Self-confidence |
| Overeating | Public Speaking |
| Weight | Depression |
| Worry | Performance Improvement |
| Anxiety | Allergies |
| Degenerative Conditions | Pain Management |
HYPNOTHERAPY
Suggestion Hypnotherapy is used for applications such as relaxation and stress management, confidence-building, stopping smoking, raising self-esteem, public speaking, taking examinations, past life regression, degenerative disease symptom management, and other similar treatments.
THE HYPNOTIC STATE
One of the most widely known and common misconceptions is that when one is hypnotised consciousness is lost. Due to this misconception, persons who need and desire hypnosis fail to utilise its benefits. This misconception impairs their confidence and makes it more difficult for the subject to obtain the necessary or desired results.
At every level of hypnosis, even the deepest possible state, the person being hypnotised is always completely aware of all of his surrounding circumstances. At no time is the person unaware. The greater the depth, the greater the awareness, and the better the therapeutic results. Because of this there is an increased attention to the hypnotist’s suggestions. One of the greatest difficulties for a hypnotist is to convince the subject that he or she has been hypnotised. Over 90% of people hypnotised for the first time will deny that they have been hypnotised, and assert that the reason for this was that they were entirely aware of everything that was said and done during the hypnotic session.
It is important to understand that hypnosis is a natural process. A person in hypnosis cannot be made to do anything contrary to his or her moral or ethical codes.
HYPNOANALYSIS
Hypoanaysis is used in the particular circumstances where treatment of recurrent problems such as phobias, habits, or psychosomatic problems generally are required. Such problems are often the result of repressed memory of a traumatic event. A client in analysis would expect to attend between 5 to 8 sessions in order for the problem to be resolved.

TOP TEN TIPS FOR WEALTH*
Firstly the most important first step to achieving good Feng Shui is to perform a Space Clearing or de cluttering process. Everyone's Home or Office has accumulated stagnant negative energy, that needs to be eliminated. Clutter is a sign of that stagnant energy, and clutter in your money power spot can clog up your cash flow. This de cluttering process will make all other cures more effective. You know what they say " a tidy camp site is a happy camp site" Today its your home or office we are targeting, using my top ten tips to enhance your wealth
1) The south east corner of your home and/or office is your wealth sector so it must be kept as clean and tidy. The lighting should resemble natural light, not too bright or too dim
2). Fix things that are broken. Anything that doesn't work as it should is a sign of something wrong in the area of your life that corresponds to that part of your space.
3) A Fish tank is a excellent in the wealth area. Nine gold fish are an auspicious number. Eight gold and one black are recommended.
3) Enhance your wealth area with symbols of prosperity, such as a bowl of coins, gold ingots, a Buddha sitting on a pile of gold coins and fish symbols are all popular Feng Shui symbols for wealth.
4) If you neglect your money, it will neglect you, so be sure to balance your accounts book regularly and pay your bills on time. Put your cheque book in an attractive cover (choose green, purple, or red.) and keep it in the wealth area of your desk - that's the far left hand corner of the desk -- or in the wealth area of your office/room.
5) Place a blue or black rug in your front entryway to symbolize a river of opportunities flowing into your home or business
6) All your finances escape through the drainage system within your home or Office so place the plug in the holes in the sinks and leave the Toilet lid down at all times (virtually impossible but try)
7) Three coins tied with red ribbon should be placed near your phone to attract opportunities and enhance the financial outcome of phone calls. If you use a computer in your business it would be beneficial to hang three coins from your computer.
8) The mythical, money frog is a wealth attractor. Place one inside your office door, facing inward. This symbolizes wealth coming your way.
9) A Jade or Money plant placed in the wealth corner of your home or office will enhance your finances, look after the plant well and watch your money grow.
10). Live generously. Money is a form of energy, and it needs to flow through your life, not just into it, while giving generously with your time, energy, compassion, and appreciation and money within your means makes space for even greater abundance

Aries
Love will blossom all month. Although work in and around the home is a focus, you are likely to encounter obstacles on the domestic front. Communication and shared resources could help solve the problem. You will feel the need to improve your personal image and it’s a great month to do so. So, why are you waiting?
Taurus
During the 1st 2 weeks of this month you’ll be getting the lion's share of attention. You’ll be the centre of attention both in your professional and in domestic life. However, by the middle of the month your plans and ideas will face some difficulties. Pay heed to hunches follow your instinct and the second half of the month will be smooth for you also.
Gemini
Its all work and no play for you this month Gemini. However those recently blocked work projects move forward and career doors open. But attention to your domestic affairs is needed and your responsibilities increase. Mid month is a great time to tie up those financial loose ends but in the mean time try not to be impulsive in buying something you really do not need.
Cancer
Patience is a virtue and one you will find difficult to achieve this month. You’ll be so busy thinking about your personal ambitions, that others will find it hard to communicate with you. There will be many work opportunities, but you may not show much interest as your mind will be well and truly otherwise engaged on personal stuff!
Leo
Delays and stalemate situation with those work projects will lift now and you’ll start to fly through work obstacles. Important connection in the profession figures. Normally your intuition is very accurate but by the 3rd week you may doubt yourself and that will make you indecisive,be careful until this indecisiveness subsides.
Virgo
November will be a busy month for you. Lots of phone calls to make and errands to run time. So, you’ll have to find the right balance but you’ll be filled with enthusiasm. But it will also make you spend frivolously and so you should as deserve some pampering now. Watch how you say things mid month as you may end up in disagreement with friends.
Libra
You’ll be the centre of attention wherever you go, especially single Librans! as new horizon of love appears in this month. But attached ones will suffer jealousy and suspicion. The good news is for all Librans is that your pockets and bank accounts should be filled with money all through the month. So that one less thing for you to worry about.
Scorpio
This month’s there's a feeling that you have missed something or that secrets have been kept from you. Go with your intuition as its working well now. Friends may demand more time from you. But increased social activities make you feel wanted! If you have travel or educational plans its better to get them sorted within the first two weeks of November, to avoid difficulties later on.
Sagittarius
You can rely on your friends this month and any recent disagreements will be well and truly resolved now. Sort out any issues with money because you may face some financial problems after the second week of the month.This will be a busy month for you, so try to find some time to relax and rest during the last week of November
Capricorn
You need to resolve any arguments with a partner quickly by mid of the month. You’ll feel that everyone else except you is doing brilliantly, but this feeling should be driving you on now. Someone close to you is being aggressive and demanding towards you take a deep breath and be patient as your rewards are just around the corner.
Aquarius
Anything goes this month so long as its not work, others will be impressed with your adventurous mind and deep faith in life. But you need to focus a bit more attention in your work. Be very clear and precise whilst communicating with others. Because mix-ups will bring some problems for you due to mis-understandings.
Pisces
You may face some financial problems this month but if you pool your resources it may solve them. Travel and educational opportunities look good. But your need to pay attention to domestic affairs no matter how busy you are with your work agenda during the last week of the month as a great opportunity is presented so don't miss out!

FENG SHUI for HEALTH and VITALITY
Feng Shui can help you to get back in balance, improve your; well- being, feel better about yourself. These days a many of us are not happy with the way our lives are going, feeling that things aren't working for us any more, fed up with the daily drudge, lacking enthusiasm and motivation, feeling down, and it's difficult to make ourselves feel better and snap out of this feeling. Now we can take responsibility for our own health and well-being. What Feng Shui offers is a way of creating better health, well-being by unblocking, balancing and harmonising the energy which flows through our surroundings. With balance, optimum conditions are created for body, mind, emotions and life to heal and improve.
The energy which flows around us and through us is called universal energy, life-force energy, Ch'i. We cannot see it but we feel its effects every day. The quality of this energy is important to our well-being and we have the ability to make it work for us as well as against us. We absorb the universal energy which surrounds us. This energy, Ch'i, flows around us and through us.
Unhealthy, negative energy if blocked or stuck, it will not flow freely, and will affect everything in its path, including us. The effects of bad energy can include tiredness, irritability, depression, stress, loss of enthusiasm and motivation, sleeping or working badly. When we are feeling like this, our self-esteem and self-confidence begins to take a bashing, small re-occurring health problems, a general feeling of disharmony in our lives, and all our relationships begin to suffer in some way.
Healthy, positive energy is free-flowing, balanced and healthy, we will reflect this in our mind, body and life. Improvements in our health, well-being, motivation, self-esteem, self-confidence will bring good things into our life - better relationships, career, prosperity, luck, direction.
The main reasons for negative Chi are:
Clutter - Energy which has become stale around piles of stuff, you've heard the saying ' a tidy campsite is a happy campsite' ok maybe not but its true.
Negative outlook - which can affect you, your environment, other people and your life situation.
Colours- Every colour has a vibration which affects us in different ways.
Badly arranged homes - Beds facing the wrong direction, corners and edges of furniture aiming at people, long empty stretches of room or hall.
Outside influences- Trees or telegraph poles in direct line with our front door, neglected gardens, energy rushing around instead of slowly meandering (main causes of this are fast roads or streams/brooks etc.)
Encouraging this Ch'i to move in a positive way can have positive effects, even with just small changes. As soon as you begin to make Feng Shui changes, negative energy will disappear and positive energy will flow. Carrying out Feng Shui on your home, room or workplace will have an uplifting effect on you. It will help to improve the way you feel, clear your body and mind, and give you energy and confidence to change your situation.
