Cool Hypnotic Experiment that Works - Hypnotism

Hello Everyone,

Those of you who are perceptive will know I have been quiet lately. Well there is good reason for this.

I can now reveal that I have been studying hypnosis for the past two years (in my spare time). I have been incredibly lucky to have been studying with a very well known hypnotist (well known in Northern Ireland) and he feels I am ready to share an experiment with you now.

I would ask if you are particularly sensitive or easily disturbed please do not carry out this experiment... Just simply close the web browser and forget about it.

For those of you who are still here let us start......

Follow my instructions with an open mind. If you are open to the experiment it will work as it has worked for many people in the past. (It seems to work with people who are of a creative and caring mindset. The experts are not sure why.) So if you are ready ... sit in your chair, relax and follow my instructions....SLOWLY

You should follow my instructions exactly as I tell you. Otherwise you may not be successful .. so let us begin...

First ... let your gaze rest on the picture below. Dont worry .. it is not dangerous. It is a specially designed picture to help induce a hypnotic trance. You can still back out at this stage. If you want to continue .. Just let your gaze rest on the picture below... Count backwards slowly from 10 as you look at the picture and then continue reading the instructions...



As you sit in your chair breath slowly... breath deeply...breath from your lower stomach... Not your chest.. let your stomach rise slowly with an intake of breath...and breath out.

Repeat this ..

Each time you breath in and breath out you feel your weight increase in the chair. As you breath slowly in and slowly out rest your hand on the computer mouse beside your keyboard. Feel the pressure of the mouse under you hand. You are still breathing in and breathing out slowly.

With every breath in and breath out you notice yourself feeling heavier in the chair, more relaxed, this is normal.

This is the trance starting to work ... but don't panic.

As you read this text you may also feel your eyes strain a little more than usual. Perhaps they feel a little more tired than they would normally feel.

This is normal.

This is good.

This means the hypnotic trance is beginning to work.

So don't panic.

Just go with it.

Continue to breath slowly and deeply - allowing your body to relax and as you do this you notice that the hand that is resting on the mouse is feeling heavy.

With every breath in and breath out your mouse hand is getting heavier and heavier.

You might even yawn at this stage.... Let yourself yawn and relax. Let yourself sink deeper and deeper into your chair.

As you read these words you begin to notice that your mouse hand is so heavy now. You smile a little as you realise this. You might even note that it feels a little strange.

You smile again as you notice that you may want to close your eyes as they feel heavy. But thats ok.

Thats normal.

As you notice your breath you try and lift your heavy mouse hand but you should find that you are not able.

Your hand is stuck to the mouse.. to the table..

Again if this happens to you don't panic.. It may feel strange but it is normal.

You may even find that the more you try and lift your hand the more stuck it becomes.

Go with it .. let it happen... if this does happen to you its all good. It will wear off in about 5 minutes so enjoy it while it lasts.....


So dont panic. Your hand will become normal again after a few minutes.

This is the end of the experiment.

I would hope that you enjoyed this little diversion. If this worked for you let me know by posting a comment here. It wont work for everyone.

5 Ways To Survive The Recession

Hello Everyone!

I'm back. My shoulder is recovering well and I can type again without being in pain! Thank heaven for small mercies!

I will cut straight to the chase. We are all suffering from credit crunch blues but how do you survive this global recession? Well here are 5 tips to keep those recession worries at bay!


1) Stay Positive

The economy is affected by how we all think. This is true. The economy is like an emotion - the way we think directly affects it. We do refer to the economy as being depressed or we hear the "experts" talk about lack of consumer confidence. Well consumer confidence is just another way of saying we are all being negative in our attitudes. Now - I realise that a lot of people have lost their jobs and I am not asking people who have lost there jobs to keep going out spending. What I am saying is this. There are sectors out there that haven't been hit as hard. There are people still working away as "normal". I am asking that those people remain positive or at least do not let the media scare you out of buying something that you would normally buy. Live a little but live sensibly. I'm not saying to go crazy with the credit cards but just have a more optimistic attitude. If you NEED a pair of shoes buy the shoes. The important word here is NEED.

For people who find themselves out of work. Being positive can be a survival technique. Which brings us to the next point.

2) Keep those tools sharpened!

If you find yourself out of work its easy to go into a downer. Especially in this financial climate. Again staying positive helps. Use this time for some self study or use it as an opportunity to re-evaluate where your life is going. Keep your "tools" sharpened. Your skills and your talents need to stay sharp for you to get back into work. You need to plan your down time and have goals.

3) Have Goals!

If you are in a job you feel you have to stay in - as you have no choice in this climate - or you have lost your job. Try and construct goals that keeps your mind on a rosier future. I am currently involved in a project - although not ideal - will help me step stone to another job in the future.

If you are out of work make sure you have short term goals as well as long term goals and make sure you reward yourself for reaching them! Goals are so important and the tasks you do to reach your goals gives you structure where your life might not have any.

4) Keep that Routine Going!

Keep yourself in a routine. Don't lie in bed until all hours if you are out of work. Get up and go to sleep at the same time every night. It is important to maintain a routine. When you get up, start the day with a lovely breakfast and go for a walk before addressing the tasks for the day. This goes for people who are in work too! You may feel trapped in your current job but if you start your day in the right way it can keep spirits lifted.

5)Remember - This too shall pass.

Everything in life is temporary. The good things and the bad! Remember that even though things feel bad now. This will pass. The economy will recover. Take each day - one at a time. Count your blessings EVERYDAY. Make it an obsessive habit! It is like going into a dark tunnel. You may not see the end but it will come and then you will pass out into the light.

I hope these thoughts help you. I hope I still have readers who appreciate those thoughts and I would be VERY interested in YOUR thoughts on how to survive this down turn in the economy.

Remember - what you look for, you will find. So lets look for the positive things in life!

Take Care,
Allen

An update

Very quick update - I have been out of action for a long time due to a shoulder injury.. They found tears in the tendons in my shoulder. I haven't been to my day job for 8 weeks.

Hopefully the treatment will work and I will start updating here soon.

Thanks and stay tuned.

What does it look like for us to shine like the stars

These words were not originally written by me but by a church in Grand Rapids, USA.

I have adapted them a little for this blog and you don't need to be religious to hear what they say.

Allen

We forget that there’s a bigger story going on.

Will we remember?

Will we see?

Despite the overwhelming evidence that the world is a dark, dark place, will we shine like the stars in the heavens?

We’ve got to ask ourselves some questions.

Where do we find ourselves grumbling and complaining?

What does it look like for us to remember that life is a gift and that we’ve got everything we need?

What does it look like for us to shine like the stars in the common, everyday,
hum-drum of life?


when we forget to remember...
when we think we need more...
when we believe God or life has shorted us...
when we judge the future by the present...

when we forget that it's a marathon

not a sprint...

click here and contemplate what can be

do everything without grumbling or arguing

so that you may become blameless and pure

in a warped and crooked generation

then you will shine among them like stars in the sky

The Philosophy of Charles Schultz.

The following is the philosophy of
Charles Schultz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip. You don't have to
actually answer the questions. Just read the article straight through, and
you'll get the point.

1. Name the five wealthiest people
in the world.

2. Name the last five Heisman
trophy winners.

3. Name the last five winners of
the Miss America.

4. Name ten people who have won the
Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.

5. Name the last half dozen Academy
Award winner for best actor and actress.

6. Name the last decade's worth of
World Series winners.



How did you do?

The point is,
none of us remember the headliners of yesterday. These are no second-rate
achievers. They are the best in their fields. But the applause dies. Awards
tarnish. Achievements are forgotten. Accolades and certificates are buried
with their owners.



Here's another quiz. See how you do
on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided
your journey through school.

2. Name three friends who have
helped you through a difficult time.

3. Name five people who have taught
you something worthwhile.

4. Think of a few people who have
made you feel appreciated and special.

5. Think of five people you enjoy
spending time with .



Easier?

The lesson: The people who make a
difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most
money, or the most awards. They are the ones that
care.



'Don't worry about the world coming
to an end today. It's already tomorrow in Australia ' (Charles Schultz)

Batman - The Dark Knight - An alternative movie download

I saw the new Batman movie at the weekend The Dark Knight. It was, indeed, very dark but one of the best movies I've seen in a long time. For once the hype was right and Heath Ledger's perfomance as the Joker was amazing.

I stumbled across this spoof made by someone out there in internet-land. Perhaps it is only funny if you have seen the movie but I thought it was hilarious...
