Anxiety - the Mother of all Jokes

ANXIETY - The Mother of all Jokes


 It is the number one cause of any client coming to see us at the moment, as Hypnotherapists!
It was so prolific that we had to dig deeper and go beyond what common understanding had to say about it. As an epidemic, it is a dis-ease which is affecting so many people and there are no boundaries as to ages, stereotypes or conditions. It seems to be crossing all borders and defying all rhythms. This is what made us search in the unknown landscapes where science barely dips a toe. . .
We could pick up the obvious markers, such as the physiological ones, the emotional ones and the mental ones - all pretty understandable. 
But we had to dig deeper into the spiritual ones to gain a bird's eye view of the bigger picture. 
What we discovered was a pandemic of unknown fears!
Each person who needs a session has underlying unidentified fears, which ruminate beneath the surface causing discomfort - at a simple level - and anxiety at a heightened level. Now, looking at fear is a big subject and identifying all those fears can be time consuming and folks with anxiety don't want to waste any more time if they can help it.
So, we had get a bird's eye view on what kind of fears and narrow them or it down, so that each time a client comes to see us, we can use the silver bullet - so to speak.
What we discovered was that it was not A FEAR that we were hunting, or a group of fears but something else . . .
It was the fear of the future . . .
This changed the way we viewed anxiety because we no longer needed to focus so intensely on identifying individual emotions and their associated fears, but could begin to direct the client towards a future which they had never considered. 
When a person does not have a dream, a future to look forward to or an uncertain future where they do not have stability and don't belong, it can percolate beneath the surface.
When the future is so deeply unknown and a person has not made up their mind as to who they are in the future and they live so solidly in the past, anxiety is their bedfellow. 
That it is so widely spread, it a testament to the state of the world.
Where is the world going?
Where are we all going?
That is for you to decide, to make your mind up and to come to a beautiful and positive conclusion. Help your friends, family and neighbours to think into the future and to make it wonderful!

    This very much seems to be a world-wide question, an all-encompassing proposition. And yet the most direct and easiest path to address that question is within. The battle perceived without is the conflict felt within.

    Yes, living in the past is often easier than stepping Out of your comfort zone when you don't know where you're going.... but this choice is soo limiting!!

  And yet everything says otherwise . . . I will begin with a story that speaks volumes. Years ago I met a dog, who upon approach, always lay down and turned onto its back to show its belly. A very submissive action, and no matter how I approached that dog, I could not get it to stand to be patted or given a treat. I tried and tried over an over, adjusting my countenance, voice and body langauge . . . but nothing seemed to work. So I gave it some deep thought and decided to change my approach, and whenever I was in its vicinity I would go and sit in a chair . . . I did not go towards it at all. It did not take long before that dog would creep over to where I was and the same as before, it would throw itself on the ground at my feet. I knew that a small aspect had changed but it was not enough. So, I adjusted my approach again and when I sat in that chair, I would place my arm on the armrest and dangle my hand just enough over the end, so that the dog could see it.  Eventually,...

The Way of the Wise Soul

  And the paths ahead! The world is weary with information and concepts thrown haphazardly out into the public domain. One would assume that with all the words spliced together to form sentences thickened with colourful meanings, there would be a clear and direct way of smoothly navigating reality. But this is duality! Reality navigation is necessary. The obstacles, options, choices, and unique skills weave a path loaded with dichotomy and adventure. The routes through this reality are designed to go anywhere imaginable and without boundaries except for the limitations within the consciousness of the dreamer. Heavens? There are many. And hells? There are even more because they are manifested by creative minds. Going on an average of daily thoughts per person, we can safely say that it is easier to imagine the worst than the best. Just look around and listen to the voices! Why would the world be in its current position? Regardless of your beliefs about politics, religions,...

An idiot waiting to blossom

AN IDIOT WAITING TO BLOSSOM Like most idiots, the flower remains tightly bound to its current course and holds stubbornly to a divine procedure. It must remain tightly bound and closed to the world for an allotted time before it is signalled to open slowly.   Inside its complex being, there is held a kaleidoscope of colours, fragrances and beauty and the best kept secret . . . the ability to seed others just like it! The idiot in the same picture, does this slightly differently - Bound by time, as is the blossom, and sheltered from the world, as is the blossom, the idiot struggles and resists the natural divine procedure. From within the idiot bloom, there arises chaos and an intimate internal struggle - one half wanting to remain closed and unseen and the other, wanting immediate exposure . Both . . . unnatural. The idiot's struggle is both insecure and unsure, as well as ambitious and brave and whilst being natural ingredients for the right kin...
