A 2007 national Government survey that asked about CAM (complementary and alternative medicine) use in a sample of 23,393 U.S. adults found that 9.4 percent of respondents (representing more than 20 million people) had used meditation in the past 12 months—compared with 7.6 percent of respondents (representing more than 15 million people) in a similar survey conducted in 2002. The 2007 survey also asked about CAM use in a sample of 9,417 children; 1 percent (representing 725,000 children) had used meditation in the past 12 months.
People use meditation for various health problems, such as:

Is This You?
There is that one thing you need to do, but you put it off for hours, sometimes days. You make excuses. You find ways to avoid it. You get frustrated. You feel overwhelmed. Then you feel guilty. You feel like a failure….right? I know I have many times over.
The majority of the time it’s because the task at hand is hard. Hard meaning it is either time consuming, takes mental energy, is less than desirable or causes emotional stress to handle. Let’s face it, if it were easy, it would get done right?
The bigger picture is, procrastination can lead to bigger issues like depression, anxiety, insomnia and many more. If we allow ourselves to let everything be hard, we spiral down a road of negative thoughts and feelings. We know it needs to stop but the question is how?
This could be the answer you’ve been searching for….
Procrastination is a mind game. Yes, that’s right, it’s a game that if you can get yourself in the right mind set, you can win. If we can feel intense motivation, pending feelings of accomplishment and the euphoria of completion, then we get things done! We beat the monster! It’s that EASY.
Hundreds of people have found the key to the right mindset and winning the procrastination game is with hypnosis. It’s been recognized around the world as a safe and easy way to gain the right mental attitude and change the way you think. I know I have relied on it for years and it’s been a life saver for me.
So I have created a hypnotic audio to help YOU win the procrastination game today!
Easy Does It Now Audio takes you to a place where things are EASY. Whether your task at hand is cleaning the house, finishing a project for work or having a heart to heart conversation with a loved one, Easy Does It Now Audio will guide you through to a place where this task gets done and you feel great.
Imagine yourself looking at a completed project or seeing a “to do” list completely checked off and done. Feel the motivation, the anticipation and the satisfaction of completing tasks that you may have been stalling on for weeks, months or even years. That does sound great, right?
Life doesn’t have to be hard….it’s as easy as changing your mind with Easy Does It Now Audio.
PS…I want to thank Maggie Miller; CMH for being my guest blogger today. If you have any issues with procrastination pick up a copy of her audio by clicking this link … Easy Does It Now Audio
Hypnosis may help you shed a few extra pounds when it’s used along with other weight-loss methods, such as diet and exercise. But there isn’t enough solid scientific evidence about weight-loss hypnosis to recommend for or against it.
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, usually achieved with the help of a hypnotherapist using verbal repetition and mental images. When you’re under hypnosis, your attention is highly focused and you’re more responsive to suggestions, including behavior changes that can help you lose weight. After proper instruction, you can also try self-hypnosis for weight loss. Weight-loss hypnosis is often combined with cognitive behavioral therapy.
Through the years, numerous studies have evaluated the use of weight-loss hypnosis. Most found positive but modest weight-loss results, with an average weight loss of about 6 pounds (2.72 kilograms). But the quality of some of these studies has been questioned, making it hard to determine the effectiveness of weight-loss hypnosis.
If you’ve tried diet and exercise but are still struggling to meet your weight-loss goal, you may want to try weight-loss hypnosis.

This past weekend I took a trip down to Austin Texas, and attended another one of Pat O’Bryan’s Unseminar’s. Unseminar 8 to be exact.
One of the speaker’s this weekend, (and there were many), was my hypnosis teacher Wendi Friesen. I love Wendi, not only has she help me from the ground up become a hypnotist, she care’s about her former students and always ask how she can help us become better hypnotists.
Sunday she discussed becoming creative, or even more creative than we already are.
So sit back, and let’s see if we can bring some creativity, or more into your life.
Sometimes we all hit blocks. We want to finish something, we have a deadline, we have to get a project done. but sometimes it seems the harder we try, the more blocks pop up to stop us.
Has this ever happened to you?
It has to me.
Here are some quick tips;

Good.
After you read this, plug it in, and enjoy the relaxation.
During the relaxation, release your conscious mind, find the open door that once you walk through will release your creativity.
For me, I imagined a canvas that one would use to paint upon. On that canvas was all kinds of colors.
It looked as if someone had taken a paint brush, dip in paints of different colors, and just splattered it on the canvas.
The blues were deep.
The red’s brilliant.
The yellow’s and green’s jumped off the canvas at me!
How could I not get inspiration from a scene such as this!
As I let me mind wander, I was just floating, releasing my conscious.
Thoughts came to me.
My unconscious mind was allowing the creativity pent up inside me to release, to come out.
Oh such a feeling.
And then we were brought back to our reality.
But, I now have a way to bring myself back, back into that room I call creativity.
What a wonderful feeling. So relaxing, so peaceful, but yet knowing that when I hit a block, I can release it.
My challenge to you is this…..
Try it!
Please leave a comment and let me know your results.
If you are having a problem unlocking the door to your room of creativity, let me know.
The Self Help Gifts Giveaway event is definitely
one of the better giveaways that I have seen
recently, and I think you will really enjoy
what they have to offer.
I have checked the site for quality and it is
a thumbs up from me. Self esteem expert Dr. Joe
Rubino and fitness professional Carolyn Hansen
have teamed up to produce a smorgasbord of
self help gifts for you to choose from.
So what will you find once you get across to
the event?
I saw downloadable ebooks, memberships, videos
and audios, software, and e-courses.
These were on topics as diverse as parenting,
relationships, health and fitness, stress management
(always a good one!), working from home, business
management, confidence building, and quite
a few other self help categories.
The gifts cost nothing simply because events of
this type are run with the aim of introducing
you to a host of vendors of self improvement
products who you would otherwise probably
never get to come in contact with.
Here are some of my favorites, glanced while
checking out the site (some perhaps tongue
in cheek, I don’t know yet, but they had me
intrigued):

speak to you as you move through the pages
of the giveaway.
Remember, there are hundreds of gifts to check

their doors.
Have you ever taken a ride or have had a commute to the same place over and over again?
Get’s kinda boring doesn’t it?
Ever wish that ride could be different?
The other day I took the incredible journey of 1000 handsclapping, and guess what, I didn’t even leave my office.
As you know, I am a hypnotist, and have put together some pretty good meditation audio’s that many people have written back and told me in testimonials how the audio’s have helped them fall asleep, reduced their stress, even have built up their confidence.
But this journey I took the other day was courtesy of Lawrence Ball and his 1000 Hands Clapping Audio blew me away!
You see, Lawrence is a musical renaissance man; composing, performing and improvising his often meditative, sometimes mathematical music. He has performed in 11 countries, and has collaborated on 3 projects with Pete Townshend, including a double album “Method Music” due to be released on Navona Records fall of 2010.
The music of his 1000 Hands Clapping is like none other!
You don’t have to check this site out… http://www.meditationalmusic.net/1000handsclapping.html But what would it be like for you if you were able to listen to this audio, and remove the outer world “buzz” from your mind, and talk to your silent, deeper inner self?
Here are a couple quick tips you can use everyday to eat right and in this case — get active.
You already know physical activity is vital for a healthy lifestyle. So, here are some more reasons to get active. The most recognized benefits are being more fit and maintaining weight. However physical activity also can lower your risk for diseases like type-2 diabetes and heart disease. We’ve heard people talk about a runner’s high or feeling better after playing a sport. That’s because physical activity can relieve stress and improve self-esteem.
Now you have even better reasons to get active!

What would it be like if you woke up one morning and found that your street, your town, and now your house was flooded, and more rain was coming.
Can you imagine that scene?
Well, that is what happened over this past weekend to my town here in LaVergne Tennessee, just 24 miles down I 24 east from Nashville Tennessee.
You see,our town, and Nashville included just went through the great flood of 2010.
70 plus cars were stranded and flooded and washed away on interstate 24, and some deaths have occurred.
Opryland Hotel, closed due to flooding. Downtown Nashville; flooded. Businesses lost.
Perhaps you saw this on the news, or read about it.
In my hometown of La Vergne many neighbors and people that I know have been devastated and have lost their homes and or businesses.
And this is the reason I am writing this post today.

This is amazing! I recently received an unsolicited testimonial from a person using our latest offering; “The Confidence Audios.”
I can’t make this stuff up, so please take about four minutes, and see what this very satisfied listener had to say.
Dear Trapper,
“The Confidence audio use ranges from someone that needs a pickup after a bad day, a string of bad events, or to get over a hurtle that might be setting them back. The positivity that is set from the confidence audio from the start helps to reaffirm that one deserves the best in their life.
With the confidence audio, there is a wide range of purposes. I have used the confidence audio for specific reasons, something as big as getting a drivers license, or simply on a day that could have gone better-such as when the train was late, and the day went downhill from there. While watching the news, it is so easy to get down, and depressed. It is easy to get side tracked from the fact that we deserve the best in life. The Confidence audio says that we deserve our best, and can be tailored to any given purpose. You can say the meditation out load, or listen to it to remain peaceful and calm.
When watching the news, it is easy to see how many car crashes there are, and turn away from wanting to get a drivers license. I live in a big city, but the time had come for me to get a drivers license. I was a nervous wreck to say the least (no pun intended.) I did not truly think I deserved my drivers license, because of the combination of anxiety and watching the news.
But there is a way to calm anxiety help to work through all of the struggles such as taking a driving test and driving on the road, and that is the confidence audio. I used the Confidence Audio to help to reaffirm that I am a good driver, and that I can drive well. I deserve the drivers license, and can pass the road test.
In the Confidence audio, the affirmations will help one to envision the life that they so richly deserve. It is easy to get down from a day, or even a string of bad events. It is easy to get anxious when there is a bad day at the office, or a bad test in school. With the Confidence audio, there is no looking back, but moving forward in life.
The Confidence Audio helps to regain focus and to help stay calm, so when you open your eyes you are set in a new outlook on life that will help to bring positivity and strength into your life.”
PS.. . Do you have something that is stopping you from becoming more confident? Clear them with our “Confidence Audio.” Twenty minutes a day, and you’ll notice a new you bubbling up with Confidence and Self-Esteem. Download your copy now at http://budurl.com/confidenceaudio
Meditation can assist in relaxing you, as well as guide you in achieving your goal of sleep.
Meditation techniques come in various forms, but the bottom line is, whatever method you chose, it will help you channel your thoughts. By meditating, you can focus your thoughts and that shuts out distractions that could be harmful and preventing your sleep.
Related to meditation is self-hypnosis, which can take the form of repeating words or suggestions in your mind, over and again. This repetition may help lull you into slumber. Visualization, which is engaging in another type of mental journey without outside distraction, is another way to try to relax yourself prior to sleep.
These de-stressing techniques can help you slow the body’s processes down, helping to create a bridge between your waking and sleeping moments. Easing into sleep can only be helpful if it works on a consistent basis. As discussed before, a sleep journal can help you stay on the proper path.
