Secrets Of The Naturally Thin

Health Specialist — Sun, 13 Dec 2009 04:02:33 +0000

Did you know that obesity is becoming an epidemic of the 21st Century?

Although there are many differing reasons why you want to lose weight – you may want a healthier body, look slimmer, feel better or maybe you just want to fit back into those old clothes. However for many it is a much more serious challenge and would that we should all head! Everyday, all over the western world, people are being advised, or even warned, by a medical practitioner to cast off the excess pounds and get fit.

For some people losing weight is easy, in fact for many the experience weight gain is as alien as meeting E.T. These people never gain access pounds at all throughout their lives. However, if you are one of those unfortunate people, of which there are many, who has fought a constant losing battle with your weight then you already know just how hard it is to follow a regulated diet plan. In the vast majority of cases dieting just doesn’t work!

We can say with relative confidence that almost all of the current slimming aids and weight loss diets are very limited in their effectiveness. In fact those that do work leave no permanent mark, for once you abandon your diet plan it doesnt take long to pile on the pounds again.

When you also take into consideration the many dangers of the surgical procedures that are available and the lack of any real long term studies into the most popular and latest diets which usually dont work over the long haul, then you can see that a safe, reliable permanent alternative is needed.

Although there are many claims of effort free weight loss the simple undeniable truth is that weight loss, like anything worth achieving in life, requires a certain degree of effort and commitment from you. Having said that, there are very reliable techniques and excellent tools to make your transition to a slimmer body, healthier lifestyle and smaller clothes much easier, enjoyable and, best of all, permanent. Probably the most powerful system was created by Paul McKenna and tested on British television. The results were remarkable. Although, you may know that, McKenna made his fortune & fame through hypnosis this weight loss system doesnt involve hypnosis at all!

Paul McKenna has researched the subject of weight loss for over thirteen years. He has analyzed the key behaviours of the naturally thin. Armed with this powerful information he created his weight-loss system and given hope to millions of people who battle with their weight. The techniques I am about to share with you are tremendously powerful and easy to follow.

The first point you should realise is that everybody has a natural weight control mechanism. It is a sort of set point you have which constantly attempts to regulate your body weight by maintaining a particular amount of fat on your body. McKenna formulated his easy weight loss system around this important premise which to date appears to have its basis in solid fact! As I have already mentioned in this article the system was tested on British television and it had a hugely beneficial affect on viewers. The weight loss system even allowed participants to eat whatever they wanted and yet, they still lost massive amounts of weight!

How was this so?

Well, under normal weight loss dietary conditions what we are trying to do is force the body to adjust to a new and often times dramatic way of eating. A starvation diet for example, when you finish your meal and are still hungry, is actually resisting the powerful and completely natural urges that the body has. These urges are in place to prevent energy deficit. Therefore appetite suppressants may help to reduce these drives while youre taking them, and a forced attempt to change your eating habits may retrain the body and mind into a new eating regime but the body will still have these urges because they are inherent to its very survival and 100 natural.

Therefore a way needed to be found where we could work with these natural urges and still maintain a health, fit, attractive body. The McKenna weight loss system achieves this by teaching you how to eat like a naturally thin person eats – they DO NOT starve themselves.

Another reason for overeating has its root in stress or comes from the desire to suppress negative emotions or feelings of discomfort. Are you a classic ‘comfort eater’? This is why the use of methods such as self hypnosis or subliminal messages are so effective for weight loss because it can retrain the mind to view food, fitness and eating in a healthier way. McKenna has added a unique way of dealing with these emotional eating patters through the use of EFTemotional freedom technique and other methods.

Research conducted prior to the creation of the weight loss system shows that if you follow your own body’s natural rhythm you will be much more successful at losing weight. This means not trying to force yourself into strict and what feels unnatural eating habits or denying yourself the food you want and enjoy the most. By actually denying yourself certain foods you are setting up resistance within yourself and you will make it much more difficult for yourself to stay with your weight loss plan. its the old adage you always want what you cant have!.

The first key of the system is to immediately stop denying yourself the foods that you really enjoy. Your body is sending signals to your brain that it wants to eat certain foods so let it but always eat them in moderation. I know this sounds much easier to say than to do but McKenna has some simple yet powerful techniques to ensure your success. Basically you can eat what you want!

How?

Simple! . Eat slowly and Stop eating once your full! Many people tend to keep eating after their body has sent a clear message to their brain that it is satisfied. By learning to recognise these signs and take heed of them you will be surprised at how much weight you begin to lose.

The next simple step is to take an extra 15 minutes of exercise a day. Spread it over the day, a few minutes at a time, so it is achieved in very small steps. Get off the elevator 1 floor early and walk up the stairs. Get off the bus 5 minutes from your house and walk the extra little bit. Walk to the corner shop instead of taking the car. These are very light exercises yet they will have a profound effect as you will be burning up more calories than usual.

Naturally thin people can eat whatever they want and they do! this might lead you to the belief that these fortunate human beings have a higher metabolic rate or have been gloriously blessed by a Divine Being with holy fat burning genes but the truth is much simpler. This truth can be applied to and by everyone else!

The truth?

Naturally thin people have a completely different psychological view about food, their bodies and their amount of exercise. This is the very reason why they can eat whatever they want. By changing what food means to you at a subconscious level you can change your automatic responses to the food you eat and the exercise you need.

Naturally thin people do not have uncontrollable food cravings. McKenna teaches that any cravings you have are merely learned behaviour and if they are learned then they can be unlearned. He shows how it is possible to break all cravings and also re-programme your mind in just minutes.

If you follow the above simple steps you are guaranteed success in your weight loss efforts and a new healthy slim body.

Affordable Non-Drug solution to Insomnia

Health Specialist — Fri, 20 Nov 2009 21:08:00 +0000

Up until recently, there were four choices for persons with Insomnia. These were

1. Do nothing, suffer and hope it’ll get better with time. This is the sad choice of many, and it doesn’t work. They most often get worse.

2. Start taking one of the huge advertised array of drugs, and then often taking other drugs hoping to solve the side effects as they show up. This is known as the drug side effect chain. My ex-wife once ended up taking six different drugs in this way, and the end effect was that she got worse instead of better – a not uncommon result

3. Pay exorbitant amounts of money for EEG Biofeedback Neurofeedback training. This has been the best solution up to now. The overall success rate with good and bad clinicians is considered to be about 85. But, the cost of 60 recommended half hour sessions with a “professional” at 4500 to over 10,000 is above the ability of most mid and low income families.

4. Try various allergy clinics to try to find the allergysensitivity responsible, and also do all the various tests for mineral toxicity mercury, copper, arsenic, cadmium, etc. This is also pretty expensive, with the very best system End Point Titration costing upwards of 10,000. For more info on EPT, see www.Alternate-Health.comallergy.html.

Now, there’s another choice. I invented a new method of changing brain wave amplitude up or down that is similar to EEG BF, but is inexpensive enough to give mid and low income families a choice besides expensive and dangerous drugs. It’s auditory messaging used mostly during sleep. Instead of changing behavior as is “usual” with this technique, it does the same thing that EEG biofeedback neurofeedback does, i.e. it raises the SMR brain wave 12-14 cycles per second – Hz, while lowering the Theta brain wave 4-8 Hz at the same time.

For those who aren’t familiar with EEG BF, this is the most effective brain training mechanism that best solves this particular brain problem. It also solves ADHD, insomnia, IBS, epilepsy, and even many cases of schizophrenia. There is substantial proof of this effectiveness of EEG BF, and a summary of professional papers can be found at
.

In my former practice as an Orthomolecular Psychologist, I had used auditory messaging with good success, and in 2004, I realized that it should be possible to use this technique to do the same thing that was done by the expensive EEG Bf units and a computer. Instead of going thru the conscious mind of the “trainee” to affect the unconscious, why not go directly to the unconscious mind?

After more than two years, three clinical trials, and extensive testing utilizing volunteers who paid for the right to participate, I proved the following

1. The Bate Auditory Brainwave Training Patent Pending Is very similar to EEG BF and accomplishes the same basic brain training with these following minor differences

a. It compares with one night sleep being almost equivalent to one half hour session. Individuality is part of the picture of course, but in our tests of 11 persons suffering from insomnia, all except one got dramatic results within a few weeks, and in some cases a few days. That one was in the original tests, and was frightened by the Hawthorne Effect see below, and quit using the system.

b. It seems that there is more possibility of a Hawthorne Effect in this training than in EEG BF training. For more info on this Effect see .

In the last test, this possible effect was discussed beforehand and warned about, and while it occurred in a few cases, it did not deter any of the volunteers, as it had done in earlier testing. This is NOT a dangerous “side effect” such as can be caused by all drugs! It can cause minor discomfort in a few individuals for only a day or so at worst.

c. Motivation is no longer a huge factor as it is in EEG BF. Both the parents
and the child have to motivated to continue long weeks of training, and if the training is stopped before an end point, some, or most, of the gain is lost.

2. This system costs under 200, and that is a one-time fee only. It can be used for as long as it takes. With Autistic children, it can take up to 200 EEG BF sessions. The system is composed of two basic CD’s. The first is the actual Audio Training program, playable on any CD player, boom box, etc. The second CD is a computer disk that has several other programs useful as adjuncts to this training. This includes a free allergysensitivity test, a free bottle of amino acid supplement that has a calming effect, and several articles on alternate health therapies that have been shown to be of help for all types of brain problems.

3. There is also a year’s full money back guarantee of success. If any person tries this for at least 60 days, and then states that there has been no significant improvement they will receive a full rebate including shipping and handling which is included in the price.

Now, even the low and mid income families have a choice that doesn’t force them to do nothing or to try andor use dangerous drugs.

Emotions in Healing the Hidden Self

Health Specialist — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:13:00 +0000

The old school songs and songs of today talk about emotions, simply because emotions are widely recognized as being a major part of many problems we face today. Rather people that lack control of managing their emotions is commonly referred as part of the problem. The fact is, emotions are part of the problem, and however, the emotions are ignited by something.

One of the older songs, Its just emotions taking me over, says a lot. Emotions will take you over if you allow them too, yet, these emotions only strike when the subliminal mind is affected, or triggered.

Each day someone struggles with emotions. Many people find it difficult to manage these emotions. By exploring the subliminal mind however, one can learn to master the emotions more effectively.

Keep in mind, medical and mental health issues could hinder some people from exploring the subliminal mind to master the emotions. For this reason, you may want to weed out any medical or mental related complications before venturing into subliminal learning.

Once you have weeded out such complications you can move to address the emotional issues that you deal with.

How to invoke subliminal learning to manage the emotions
Subliminal learning tactics takes some skill. First, you want to develop willingness, and the willpower to venture into this area of the mind where hidden messages reside.

Preparing is always wise. When you are prepared, it often makes it easier to overcome any problems that may crop in. thus, prepare.

How do I prepare to study the subliminal mind?
First, preparation develops from training, coaching, priming, warming up, practice, planning, organizing, and so on. First, set up a plan. Organize the plan so that you know which direction you are going. Put the plan into order and then start practicing daily until you are well trained to master the emotions through subliminal learning.

No one knows your history better than you do. Therefore, set up a plan that revolves around your history, including your experiences, learning and knowledge. Consider the way you see things now. Arrange your plan so that it fits according to your needs or style of life.

Begin practice. Practice will train you to work through your problems effectively and to discover the hidden self. Warm up each time before you begin practice so that you are prepared for whatever you may discover.

You can plan each day to warm up by creating diagrams, mind maps, charts, or other solutions that give you improvising to work through your problems. By doing so you can develop strategies, ideas, plots, etc to allow you to make proposals at times your subliminal mind does not cooperate.

Using mind maps is a great way to develop strategies and ideas that will assist you with exploring the subliminal mind to master the emotions. Mind maps are often created from images you develop in your mind.

Once you have developed those images it will be easier if you write down what you imagine, your new ideas, strategies, et cetera. Draw sketches to assist you with imaging. This gives you an arrangement, which helps you to organize your thoughts and to prepare for whatever you may discover during the process of subliminal challenging.

Some of the best tools we have to discover the hidden self resides inside of you. Only you can master the emotions by exploring the subliminal mind while using innate tools, such as self-talk, subliminal exploration, meditation, et cetera. Take some time to learn the latest techniques so that you can work through subliminal exploring. Make it a goal to master the emotional reactions that causes anger, fear, resentment, doubt, and so on.

The Hawthorne Effect in EEG Biofeedback and Subliminal Training

Health Specialist — Mon, 09 Nov 2009 07:05:00 +0000

The Hawthorne Effect is a little known phenomenon of the unconscious mind. A person starts training at something “new”. For a few hours or days, there is significant improvement in this training, then, suddenly, no improvement or in some few cases, a reverse in training is experienced.

No one “knows” exactly why this phenomenon is a factor in various educational training situations. The major theory is that It comes from the unconscious mind “resisting change”. .Or, you might use the popular phrase If it works, don’t fix it!

While it seems to appear more in Subliminal Training than other modes, it’s also present in other training or teaching situations, including EEG Biofeedback AKA Neurofeedback. As usual, it varies with each INDIVIDUAL. A majority of persons never notice any effects. Why do some, and not others? We don’t know – always remember that in dealing with the mind, every one is different INDIVIDUALITY is the key. However, in a few persons, this Hawthorne Effect may be very strong, and perhaps frightening.

Since this Hawthorne Effect seems to be more prevalent in subliminal brain training, I have given this subject a lot of thought, and have the following theories as to how this Hawthorne Effect may work in different individuals

In my opinion, the most probable reason for this effect is the unconscious mind’s “resistance to change”, as part of our inherent defense system. The computer part of our brain tries to maintain the status quo. This is known as homeostasis in medical language. In layman language, “don’t fix what ain’t broke”.

Another possible factor for some persons may be that the unconscious mind doesn’t want that brain problem solved. The unconscious mind is a strange, and at times, a murky place indeed. I once found with hypnosis, that a very fat lady unconsciously didn’t want to lose fat because she was “punishing” her husband. Bedwetters often are unconsciously “punishing their parents”. Sounds silly, but it’s true as any good psychologist can testify. The goals of the unconscious often contradict the goals of the conscious!

A somewhat similar unconscious motive might be that the person is “punishing” their self for some real or imaginary guilt.

As to why this Hawthorne Effect seems to be somewhat more prevalent used in subliminal training than in EEG BF training, it’s probable that using the conscious mind to work on the unconscious may seem to be more “reassuring”, and create less resistance to change. However, some persons working in EEG BF AKA Neurofeedback have reported this same effect in some trainees.

Now that I hope you understand the Hawthorne Effect a bit better, let’s see what it means to you and yours! First and foremost – be assured that you can come to no harm in simply continuing to train as you did. The Hawthorne Effect has never actually harmed anyone, except scaring them out of doing what they want to do.

If you simply keep on going to sleep while playing the Bate Auditory Training audio, in a few days or so, you’ll notice that you are now, once again, improving in various symptoms. Keep on trucking, as the saying goes, and you’ll get better.

For much more information on other specific problems, you can go to Dr Bate’s two other websites which have lots of free information on nutrition and OrthomolecularAlternative therapies as well as EEG Biofeedback. These are
