THE AGONY OF STRESS You know when you are stressed out.  And you know it doesn't feel very good.  You might feel physical symptoms such as excessive sweating; a racing, pounding heart; dizziness, and shaking.  Emotionally you might feel irritable, on edge, fearful, and out of control.  You might have a lack of concentration.  You might even feel like you are leaving your body, which can be terrifying.  Often stress is exacerbated by a lack of self-confidence, of not feeling good enough.  If you don't believe in yourself or your abilities, those perceptions create fear, and the fear magnifies the pressures in your life. THE PERILS OF FIGHT/FLIGHT Learning to eliminate stress works on two levels. The first is learning how to relax your body.  When your body is stressed, it triggers the sympathetic nervous system. Pain hormones are produced.  Oxygen is diverted to organs and muscles that are necessary to fight or flee and diverted away from organs that aren't being used for that immediate purpose. Your body is designed to be in this state of fight/flight only a very short amount of time, about 5 percent of the time.  And then it wants to switch over to the parasympathetic nervous system, a state of balance and well-being.  When your body stays in fight/flight too long, like weeks or months or years, those organs and systems that have been deprived of oxygen begin to suffer and deteriorate. The stress and pain hormones create discomfort in your muscles and tissues.  This is why stress is such a contributor to disease. DEEP RELAXATION IS MORE THAN JUST FEELING GOOD -BUT WHO'S COMPLAINING? Learning to relax your body is a prime factor in the anti-stress program.  When your body is relaxed, your immune system functions more effectively to fight off disease.  The organs and cells are oxygenated and work efficiently. Your body can more easily implement its own natural blueprint for health because different, beneficial chemicals and hormones are produced during relaxation than are produced during stress. Special hypnosis techniques used at Creative Mindwork Hypnosis allow you to achieve deep, theta brainwave levels of relaxation quickly and easily.  In this profound state of relaxation, your body can heal itself six to ten times faster than in its regular, waking state.  A 30- to 40-minute session of deep-relaxation hypnosis can be more effective than a three- to four-hour nap at rejuvenating both your body and your mind.  The effects of this profound relaxation can last many days after the session.  People often are not aware of how tense they are until they experience this kind of deep relaxation.  The tension has grown to feel normal.  Once they have this experience of deep relaxation, they realize how much tension they have been carrying in both their body and their mind and how fantastic it feels to release it.  This kind of profound release can have many positive, long-lasting effects both physically and mentally. "Through hypnosis I have learned to let go of past frustrations with relationships and work which were cluttering my present emotional state.  I have learned to be a positive person."  Shawn Guenther, Customer Service/Collections Rep. "Hypnosis has made me in control. It has made me feel alive.  I have been able to resolve conflicts in family and work.  Now, since my stress is down, I physically feel great." Joe L. "I really enjoy the hypnosis.  I feel so relaxed and worry free after the hypnosis.  I have learned how to begin to realize the difference between things that should cause me stress and things that I can learn to forget and not worry about. This has been a learning experience."  Jason Wald, Computer Technician "Hypnosis has helped me reduce stress and negative feelings I put on myself...I feel so much better about myself...I know my kids are receiving the benefits also.  It's been easy.  It's a new and positive way of life for me." Stephanie Meisel, Art Director "When I came here for help, I was a nervous wreck. After going through this program, I feel wonderful.  I have confidence in myself, and I have achieved some goals that I needed to get back in the real world.  Most of all, I can relax and be calm in stressful situations."  Jean Walter, Restaurant Owner  "I was down and stressed after my husband passed on.  The hypnosis stress-free program made my life enjoyable again.  The program was easy and fun.  Life still has its ups and downs, but I am able to feel happy again in a normal way. Hypnosis helped me more than the other methods I tried." Helen Quisberg, Store Employee "My goal was to be more confident in myself so I can eliminate my panic attacks.  I feel I have grown more aware of my feelings so I can control how I act out the stress in my life.  I feel if I continue to practice these teachings, I can become panic and stress free all together.  I totally believe in these healing techniques.  They have brought me to a level I didn't think I could achieve."  Richard Haertel, Purchasing YOUR THOUGHTS CAN CHANGE YOUR REALITY The second level of stress release involves the thought/emotion component.  When you are belittling yourself, feeling like you don't measure up, or crumbling under the scrutiny of others, this creates fear.  Fear puts the body into the fight/flight mode as described above.  Then everything feels out of whack.  If you perceive yourself in a negative way or if you perceive your situation in a negative way, it creates a state of overwhelm and confusion.  It makes it difficult to feel calm and peaceful in the present.  If you expect something painful to occur in the future, such as criticism or failure, you will experience a future-oriented fear, which is called worry. If you don't feel safe in the present, that can generate a feeling of fear or anxiety.  HYPNOSIS TRANSFORMS YOUR THOUGHTS Hypnosis works directly with changing these thought patterns and beliefs held in your subconscious mind to transform your perceptions and build your confidence and belief in yourself.  This allows you to emotionally feel in control, strong, and capable, which allows you to relax.  And then your body responds by staying calm and allowing all body systems to function optimally.
