Self hypnosis can help save your life! That's right especially if you are easily overwhelmed. And that's because the stress of being overwhelmed could contribute to heart attack? The danger gets complicated if you are also prone to development of cold sores which is the--Herpes Simplex 1 (HSV1) virus. A recent study published in the Journal Circulation reported that those whose blood contained the antibody for Herpes were twice as likely to suffer a heart attack. Apparently the virus lies dormant in the nervous system. Then with an overload of stress, fatigue, or illness the virus is activated resulting in triggering a nerve response in the coronary nerve that is responsible for excessive clotting. Don't despair, there's help--you can do something to insulate yourself from the dormant virus being activated. The good news is that a German study found that with the use of hypnotic relaxation such as you'll find in self hypnosis there was a 44% reduction in cold sore symptoms compared to a control group. The late Harry Arons of South Orange NJ developed a technique that has the individual do a breathing counting technique lasting approximately three to five minutes. I've found on numerous occasions taking three to five minutes when I felt that I could least afford it, simply dissolved the feeling of being overwhelmed. The good news is that self hypnosis involves more that simply counting and breathing; self hypnosis also incorporates the use of suggestion. Yet, in the midst of feeling overwhelmed, all that is needed to disolve the tremendous mental pressure is to use the breathing and counting technique which is the second step in Harry's three step self hypnosis technique. How is it done? More good news--the technique doesn't require the use of any equipment or facility. It can even be done standing in a crowded subway car. The important thing is to recognize that when one feels overwhelmed. Trying to tackle too many items simultaneously usually results in mistakes, "spinning your wheels," or doing the same thing over and over again--redundant behavior--and can take up hours of precious time. Three to five minutes, considering that it could save hours of redundant behavior to get it right, is completely affordable and is a win win situation. To do self hypnosis sit straight in a chair and then: 1. Take in five slow deep breadths as you keep your eyes fixed on a point of focus--anything of your choice. 2. Hold your breadth on the inhale of the fifth breadth. 3. Exhale your breadth and close your eyes. 4. Slowly count back from 50 to one at one count for each breadth as you breathe slowly and deeply. 5. When you reach the count of one, count from one-to-five and open your eyes. As you count backwards, your mind may drift--particularly to the challenges that you are facing--simply let those thoughts pass through your mind and get back to the counting. Avoid trying to force the thoughts out of your mind, but just let them pass through like a log floating down a river. Remind yourself that these three minutes or so are important to keep from "spinning your wheels" and that you'll be tackling the problems in short order. Why wait? Why wait for overwhelming problems and calamity, begin practicing this technique two to three times per day every day. More good news: by practicing self hypnosis you can also improve sales skills, overcome procrastination; improve skills in public speaking, develop study and test taking skills; build self confidence; improve organizational skills in addition to reducing risk of heart attack... When something can be as powerful as self hypnosis you wonder why doctors aren't suggesting it's use. All doctors say, "Learn to take it easy," but they forget to tell you (or perhaps they don't know) that self hypnosis is a way of "taking it easy." And consider this, you can use self hypnosis while waiting for a doctor's appointment. Richard Kuhns B.S.Ch.E., NGH certified is a prominent figure in the field of stress management and personal change. He aims to raise awareness in using self hypnosis to reduce heart attack.
