20.01.2022 Thank you to everyone who came to our workshop on Sunday, Katina, Dianne and I had a really fantastic day. It was great to see some of our old friends, and to make some new friends. Gold stars to everyone for being brave and diving straight into the practice sessions :) Rachel
20.01.2022 Something to think about ...
19.01.2022 "Today was a Difficult Day," said Pooh. There was a pause. "Do you want to talk about it?" asked Piglet.... "No," said Pooh after a bit. "No, I don't think I do." "That's okay," said Piglet, and he came and sat beside his friend. "What are you doing?" asked Pooh. "Nothing, really," said Piglet. "Only, I know what Difficult Days are like. I quite often don't feel like talking about it on my Difficult Days either. "But goodness," continued Piglet, "Difficult Days are so much easier when you know you've got someone there for you. And I'll always be here for you, Pooh." And as Pooh sat there, working through in his head his Difficult Day, while the solid, reliable Piglet sat next to him quietly, swinging his little legs...he thought that his best friend had never been more right." A.A. Milne Sending thoughts to those having a Difficult Day today and hope you have your own Piglet to sit beside you
19.01.2022 Being able to elicit and recognise hypnotic phenomena is fundamental to the practice of hypnotherapy. It is how we confirm and ratify the presence of trance, an...d how we enhance trance responsiveness in our clients. This workshop is for beginners and experienced hypnotists alike, and we hope to see you there. We will focus on the importance of hypnotic phenomena in therapeutic hypnosis, including strategies for the elicitation of specific responses. As usual, we will also give attention to the session as a whole. Teaching will be offered by Katina Gleeson, Richard Whitehurst and Rachel Kennedy.

18.01.2022 A gift from my friend and colleague Bob Wong
16.01.2022 Healthy people in their 70s seem to produce just as many new neurons as teenagers! YAH! https://buff.ly/2JoECk1
16.01.2022 There is a common belief spread on the internet that recommends to just "take a few deep breathes" when you're stressed or feeling triggered. Have you tried it?... Did it work? Did it suddenly make you feel relaxed and peaceful? Probably not. That's normal, there is nothing wrong with you. I've had many mums telling me that it doesn't work for them either! And there is a scientific reason behind that: When we take a a few big breathes, we're activating the sympathetic branch of the nervous system. It is the branch responsible for the "fight or flight" response. In other words, taking big (inhale) breathes ACCELERATES our heart beat and breathing, putting our system into a survival response, getting us MORE activated. This is the opposite of what we want! If we're stressed or triggered, we're _already_ in a survival response. . . What we need is to help our system slow down and come out of this survival response. Only then will we feel calmer. How can we help our system slow down? By stimulating the Para-Sympathetic branch of your nervous system. How do we do that? There are many different ways to do this. But when it comes to breathing, what helps our system slow down is a LONG SLOW EXHALE. A long slow exhale like the "Om" we do at yoga, Or like if you'd blow on a candle to make the flame dance a little, for a few seconds. Or when you're singing too! A ... long... slow... exhale... To summarise, when you're stressed, or triggered: Notice your breathe. Take a normal breathe in. And have a LONG SLOW EXHALE. Let your body naturally take another breathe in... And have another LONG SLOW EXHALE. . . And as your breathe slows down and you feel your body softening, take the time to open your vision field, to look around you, as a way to help your system connect with the "here and now." Looking around in this way is called "orienting" and that too can help your system come out of its survival response.

13.01.2022 I work with a great team - here are two of them
12.01.2022 When Rachel and I first started planning this workshop we wanted to explore topics that are relevant to participants regardless of how experienced they are with hypnosis. Theres always something to learn and reflect about. We are excited by what we will be covering
11.01.2022 Many people I work with find EFT tapping very beneficial in many ways
11.01.2022 Three messages that I have shared before that are so relevant today:
11.01.2022 A delightful observation...
11.01.2022 This is a scary time for many of us. If past pandemics are anything to go by it will test how we get on with each other - will we really keeping fighting over t...oilet paper? Now more than ever we would do well to remember to meet each other's 10 friendship needs - to be friends. Our aim should be to help others to feel... - Valued - find time to keep in touch - make the time, call, give others a chance to tell their story - see heard, below. - Noticed - smiling and saying hello from a distance is still safe. Don't ignore anyone. - Appreciated - thank people for their help, especially the health workers risking their lives for others. The more we feel appreciated the more we will be willing to go the extra mile. - Heard - take/make the time to listen to other's struggles and worries - really listen, get on the phone or Skype, whichever you prefer. We need others to hear our story especially in a crisis. - Sameness (similarity) - comfort others by letting them know we are struggling or worried too. Let us come together as people though our common humanity. It is ok to be afraid or concerned - share this. - Validated/Approved - validate other's concerns, worries, struggles, anger, frustrations and sadness. Sharing our story spreads the load. Validating us helps us to feel we aren't alone. - Respected - this is the one we will test the most. We can still say please and thank you, not abuse or seek to put down or harm others - we can be still be nice, kind and compassionate human beings. Compromise and share - treat each other as equals, as if we are close family. - Cared For - check on each other. Are our neighbours, friends, and colleagues ok? We need to care for each other now more than ever - within the rules of social distancing. We need to feel others do actually care. - Supported - offer to help others then follow through as best we can. People work better as a caring, co-ordinated, supportive group than a collection of individuals. Unite your community to support everyone, especially those most in need. - Protected - we all need to feel safe, not just from the virus but those who would take advantage of our vulnerability. No harming anyone. No allowing someone else to be harmed or abused. Call law enforcement if you must. This is a troubling and testing time. It is also an opportunity to come out the other side better than we were - using this crisis as an opportunity to unite rather than tear us apart. Treat each other as friends and we might just see the end of this in far better shape than we imagined. I wish everyone including their families and friends to stay safe and well. Please listen to the advice of the medical specialists. We will get through this. Very best wishes, Winfried.

03.01.2022 This had me thinking ...
03.01.2022 If you believe that your thoughts have something to do with your destiny, and you can't think greater than how you feel, or feelings have become the means of th...inking by the very definition of emotions you're thinking in the past, and for the most part, you're going to keep creating the same life. Most people get out of bed on the same side, they go to the toilet, they get a cup of coffee, take a shower, get dressed, drive to work the same way, do the same things, see the same people, push the same emotional buttons, and that becomes the routine, and it becomes like a program. This is how people loose their free will to a program, and there's no unseen hand doing it to them... So when it comes time to change, the redundancy of that cycle has become a subconscious program. So a person can say within their 5% of their conscious mind: "I want to be healthy, I want to be happy. I want to be free." But the body is on a whole different program. So then how do you begin to make those changes? You have to get beyond the analytical mind because that's what separates the conscious mind from the subconscious mind is the analytical mind. And that's where meditation comes in because you can teach people through practice how to change their brainwaves and slow them down. And when they do that properly, they enter the operating system where they can begin to make some significant changes. So most people wait for crisis, trauma, disease or diagnosis. They wait for loss or some tragedy to make up their mind to change. And my message is, why wait? You can learn change in a state of pain and suffering or you can learn change in a state of joy and inspiration. What meditation are you currently practicing? Share in the comments below! See more
02.01.2022 THE VAGUS NERVE A seemingly never-ending branching nerve that connects most of our major organs to our brain . Its the longest cranial nerve in our body, ...one for the right side and one for the left. And is largely responsible for the #mindbody connection for its role as a mediator between thinking and feeling, you know our gut feeling. The vagus nerve is the queen of the parasympathetic nervous system. The rest and digest or the #chillout nerve. So the more we do things to activate the #vagus nerve (like deep #breathing), the most we combat the effects of its opposer, the sympathetic nervous system - the fight or flight, rushing around, have to do something, #stress releasing one. A few other functions of the vagus nerve, just to name a few: slows your heart rate and respiration. lowers blood pressure. helps with calmness and relaxation. controls involuntary muscles in the digestive system, therefore, aiding digestion. taste sensation. movement function for the muscles in the neck responsible for swallowing and speech. gut-brain communication. reduces inflammation.
