HYPNOSIS & Physical Change: With John Suess!

One of the more challenging issues that a person can present to a hypnotist is a chronic, refractory condition like psoriasis, or ichthyosis (fish scale disease - which is supposed to be a genetic disorder) , or perhaps some other physical change like to enlarge the mammary glands (breasts) , or to just change the shape of a part of the body.

Such a request could seem to be beyond the capability of the mind even with hypnosis but all of the issues referred to above are on record as having been accomplished.

If a hypnotist is presented with a skin disorder one possible avenue for solution might involve the following.

After thoroughly hypnotizing the person and consolidating the response potential the person may be instructed to experience 'painless' sunburn of the skin and upon returning to apparent usual consciousness to retain the ability to modify the skin until the mind discovers how to cause the skin to function normally that is, without the continuance of the skin disorder. IT works!!

Hypnosis is a peculiar condition that occurs in a special relationship where critical analytic mind functions temporally shuts down and Fantasy becomes vastly more important and indistinguishable from reality. The mind becomes receptive to Fantasy as if it were actual experience and functions as if it were true.

John SUESS is a Master Hypnotist & trainer and Master Practitioner of NLP. He has been providing clinical services with hypnosis & NLP for 30 years. He has providing training in Hypnosis & Neuro Linguistic Programming for 26 years.

Lean without Burning Fat part 2: with Quantum Physiques!

In our last instalment clickheretoview we explained why the 'cardio' route to fat loss was short lived and, as many of you have discovered, not the Holy Grail to fat loss that is promised. The simple, back-to-basics principles we revealed were:

  • Food determines your body weight
  • Strength determines your muscular weight
  • Fat is simply the difference in between

    So, if you want to be lean - that is, you want a low bodyfat percentage then you need a proportionately high lean (muscular) weight. Whether you realised it before or not, low in fat means proportionately high muscle! Which is why a one sided focus on reducing fat won't make you lean - you have to work on your muscles!

    So whether you want to diet your body weight down, or lift your lean weight up, you have to work on your strength and that means weight training.


    Unfortunately, most gym instructors don't get the chance to emphasise the importance of increasing the weights you lift. The fact is, the rate you increase your weights in the gym is the rate your body improves!

    And don't think you are going to accidentally wake up looking like a professional bodybuilder - whether you want to or not! It will never, ever happen!


    At Quantum Physiques, we forecast what our clients will have to be capable of lifting to create the bodyshape they want. Using the bench press as an illustration: men most often want a physique requiring the capability to lift 120kg! Women typically want a figure capable of lifting 60kg! And these aren't even close to the weights for looking like a big bodybuilder. These are the weights that (along with sensible eating) guarantee a very nice, lean, healthy body. And the good news is, they are readily attainable with less time, and less boredom than running on the treadmill!

For details on training with Quantum Physiques call 07 3252 2100. Simply follow our plan and achieve your goals and we will give you 25% cash back.

Laughter is the best medicine!

 

I noticed my husband standing on the bathroom scale,sucking in his stomach. Thinking he was trying to weigh less with this maneuver, I commented,"I don't think that is going to help" Sure it does, he said "It's the only way I can see the numbers!"

 

Quote of the month!

What we do not see, what most of us never suspect of existing, is the silent but irresistible power which comes to the rescue of those who fight on in the face of discouragement.
