Mark Tyrrell Co-founder Hi When I first learned hypnosis I was blown away. I just couldn't believe the power of it. How could mere words transform other peoples' experience so much? As I describe in the last issue's audio insight how to elicit hypnotic phenomena once you know how, it's easy to create profound changes by carefully crafting your communication. But instead of using hypnosis for entertainment value it should, in my opinion, be used to promote health and healing. When you get a chance, check out the Customer Testimonials for an idea of some of the conditions hypnosis can help. Some of the sessions are a little different this month. For example The Gratitude Attitude encourages a whole philosophy, that to experience good levels of happiness and contentment we need to notice and appreciate the smaller things in life (and there is good research to back this up). To write scripts for new downloads I draw on experience of treating such conditions (both my own and that of colleagues), as well as looking to the latest research about the subject. Below in Downloads Unwrapped I'll give to you in more depth some of the psychology and inspiration that went into creating three of this month's new sessions. So take a moment out of your day to unwind and think about how hypnosis can help you. All the best, Mark

Downloads Unwrapped - the psychology behind the sessions

As I mentioned, when I first started learning about hypnosis I discovered a new passion. When you are passionate about something it doesn't feel like learning. You become a sponge for knowledge and this learning-without-effort inspired the session Attention In Class. If a teenage boy is totally wrapped up in motorbikes or a rock band he will learn everything there is to know and fast - but for him this is a world away from laborious classroom learning. If we can use hypnosis to connect passionate absorption to classroom learning then learning becomes natural and super quick - a kind of immersion in knowledge rather than a chore.

When we are fascinated by something we often want to communicate our passion. So many people have something to say but don't communicate too well. Our new Speaking Clearly download seeks to maximize eloquence, vocabulary and clarity of speech. Great speech makers have changed the world but so many of us stumble over words due to anxiety or lack of confidence.

Hypnosis is a skill - the more you experience it, the better you become at being hypnotized. When working with new clients I need to be sensitive to the fact that hypnosis is new to them. So, perhaps rather belatedly, we have decided to introduce a more generic session for people who are entirely new to hypnosis. The session First Time Hypnosis seeks to relax people around whether they are 'doing it right'.

Hypnosis is something that happens to you in the sense that it is not entirely orchestrated by your conscious mind. Many first timers worry that they are not responding as they should so this session bypasses that worry and gets them quickly to the point where they can access the hypnotic state very rapidly.

This Month's Audio Insight - This no-cost audio session shows how to communicate to maximize your chances of producing hypnotic phenomenon such as arm levitation, hypnotic numbness and immune function boost. Listen to this month's audio insight here.
