TAKING THE FEAR OUT OUT OF THE HYPNOTIC TRANCEWritten by Christine Hunter Master Certified Clinical Hypnotherapist
Mention word “Hypnosis” to someone and chances are you will get one of three very different reactions: intense curiosity, nervousness, or disdainful skepticism. But truth is hypnosis is widely used today not just in medicine but also by top sports performers, business experts, and those in media to boost their performance and mental focus. Despite this, many members of public still view hypnosis with fear and suspicion especially when hypnotist talks about putting client into a “Hypnotic Trance” The first point to make is that, despite origin of its name, hypnosis does not involve sleep. When a person is in a hypnotic trance, body may be in a very relaxed state, but mind is alert and highly focused. It is also a very natural state. All of us experience a trancelike state many times in our daily lives. Those of us who drive cars are very familiar with phenomenon of driving along a well known route and arriving at our destination-and then being aware that we can’t remember journey at all. It is as if we were on autopilot for journey, and in a sense we were. We were in what we refer to as a kind of trance.The same can occur when we are engrossed in a movie, reading a book, listening to music, or gazing into eyes of someone we love. Time seems to stand still and we are oblivious of outside world, our attention completely focused on what we are doing at that moment. That to can be described as a trance. Many people also consider a trance to be state achieved in mediation or when we are daydreaming. The key difference between those described above and hypnotic trance is that during a hypnotic trance there is another person – hypnotist – who is guiding us into state. During a trance, aim of hypnotist is to talk directly to patient’s unconscious mind. The conscious mind can act as a barrier to this communication, and so it is either distracted or encouraged to be still. Once hypnotist has ensured that client is in desired hypnotic trance hypnotist then make suggestions to subject. These suggestions are triggers that aim to change people’s habits, boost their confidence, or help them come to terms with their past. Such suggestions are made not to our conscious mind, but to our unconscious mind, part of mind that controls so much of our lives.
| | Finally...Affordable Prescription Medication without Insurance.Written by Garin Clark
If you are like many Americans, you are without health insurance. And ranks of uninsured are growing. According to National Coalition on Health Care (NCHC), number of uninsured was a record breaking 45 million in 2003. The growing number of uninsured is in large part being driven by individuals abandoning corporate life to pursue their dreams as entrepreneurs and small business owners. Unfortunately, this trend comes at a time when more and more medications are available to help treat serious (and not so serious) illnesses that many of us face today. But as you probably already know, without health insurance coverage, prescription medications that you need are oftentimes too far out of reach; they are simply too expensive! To make matters worse, most prescription medications cost far more in United States than they do in other industrialized nations. These cost differences in conjunction with fact that so many Americans do not have prescription medication coverage have spurred a national dialogue and heated debate. Despite these discussions, needed regulatory changes have not materialized. Thus, uninsured are left feeling that no affordable prescription coverage options exist. Don’t Give Up Hope: There Are Options! Fortunately, however, you are not without options. In fact, it is likely that you can afford medications that you need. How, you ask, is this possible? Well, read on! There are two primary ways you can afford or save money on your prescription medication. They include participating in one of many (National, State, and Pharmaceutical) assistance programs and/or purchasing your medication from pharmacies located outside of U.S. Assistance Programs: Save From 25% to 100%! Most persons are not aware that there are hundreds of programs available that provide either discounted or even free prescription medications to eligible US citizens. In fact, there are over thirty different national programs, virtually every state in U.S. offers some sort of prescription medication assistance, and there are more than 250 different assistance programs offered by many domestic and foreign pharmaceutical companies. As you can probably guess, navigating many programs to find one that best fits your needs can be difficult. Each program has different eligibility requirements, application requirements, etc. However, work required to take advantage of program that best fits your needs will likely pay off. If you are eligible for assistance through one these programs, you can expect to save from 25% to 100% on cost of your prescription medication. Savings like that are hard to ignore. And luckily, there are powerful tools available to help you find program that is best for you.
