As humans, there’s a lot we want from life. More money, a beautiful home, a better lifestyle, a promotion at work… But it all comes down to one thing: we want to be happy. Our pursuit of happiness is caught between two pillars of modern life: our desire to buy happiness, and our desire to fight against depression, stress and anxiety. The latest scientific studies are showing that there is a promising, effective new way to reach our happiness goals: engaging in activities, thoughts and behaviours that develop our feelings of gratitude.

Feeling Grateful Has a Physical Effect on the Structure of Your Brain

So, what are the facts? Research coming out of UCLA’s Mindfulness Awareness Research Centre is showing some exciting results that give us insight into how to achieve a happier life, and the answer is that it’s an internal journey rather than an external pursuit.

“Having an attitude of gratitude changes the molecular structure of the brain, keeps grey matter functioning and makes us healthier and happier”.

Not only are feelings of gratitude an emotional response, they’re a physical response too. One that trains your brain into transforming its physical structure as well as boosting mental and physical health. When you feel gratitude, research shows that “The central nervous system is affected. You are more peaceful, less reactive and less resistant”.

What Does this Mean for Mental Health Treatment and Self-Care?

Currently, there is a strong focus in the mental healthcare industry on traditional Western medicine. Specifically, treating mental health conditions with drugs, non-surgical treatments like electroconvulsive therapy (ECT) and psychological counselling. These treatments, other than the counselling, carry certain risks for patients. They can cause negative side effects ranging from drowsiness to nausea, to anxiety and suicidal thoughts. These are serious side effects, and patients can find themselves on multiple, costly prescriptions for the rest of their lives.

The issue of mental illness itself is serious and expensive one, costing the United Kingdom almost £35bn a year in treatment, lost productivity and social support. A study by Oxford Economics showed that around 181,600 people are prevented from working due to their mental health issues, and that mental health problems were the third most common reason for taking sick leave.

There is good reason to re-evaluate how we treat mental health and address the underlying factors of our hyper-materialistic society. This research may be key to addressing both these issues. Enhancing the way we care for patients with mental health issues, how we can work to protect ourselves more effectively from these conditions, and how we can achieve that all-important goal of happiness without making it all about money.

The great news is that this study isn’t the only one providing strong scientific support for the benefits of happiness. In the last decade, many studies from renowned universities and research centres around the world have demonstrated that practicing gratitude strengthens bonding and relationships, boosts physical wellness, strengthens psychological health, helps you sleep better, improves self-esteem and overall makes you more likely to feel happy and satisfied with your life and less likely to struggle with depression, stress and anxiety.

How to Practice Gratitude

Your brain has evolved and adapted over your lifetime to react certain ways and develop certain behaviours, so getting the full benefits of gratitude and rewiring your brain to be happier takes effort and patience – it’s all about retraining your brain and making those physical changes permanent.

Practicing gratitude is like practicing mindfulness and can take many forms, so you can explore different options to discover which ones you can include in your daily life. This may be:

• Writing letters of thanks to the loved ones in your life

• Taking the time each night to think of ten things you’re grateful for that occurred that day

• Practicing the cookie test by resisting impulse buys and rewarding yourself with something more special in the long term

• Keeping a journal and reflecting on each day

• Volunteering at a charitable organisation that resonates with you. Or volunteer somewhere that can benefit from your specific skills

• Expressing thanks to others when they’ve done a good job, at home or in the workplace

Have you ever met someone, and they’ve got so comfortable with you so fast that within 15 minutes they’ve already told you half of their lives, and you know all of their problems?

Maybe your mum was the type of person who everyone came to with their issues, and you’ve inherited that, so now your entire circle of friends lays everything on you, whether you ask them to or not (though perhaps you secretly enjoy it).

Or maybe you’re just the sort of person who loves to help people, and you’re seriously considering making it into a career.

Whatever the reason, taking hypnotherapy training and then starting your own practice can be a deeply satisfying, life fulfilling experience. There is no better feeling than knowing you’re making a difference in people’s lives, and there is no greater difference you can make more than helping someone deal with the problems that they face and might not be able to deal with on their own.

So it stands to reason if you want to help people, you’re going to want to learn the best way of doing that. One of the best methods for change in people’s lives, especially effective change for long term issues, is hypnotherapy. 

Hypnotherapy Can Change Lives

Hypnotherapy is a method used by medical and healthcare professionals to treat a wide range of issues that their clients face in their day to day lives.

Hypnosis is what’s known as a complimentary therapy, meaning that it’s generally used alongside  or as a complement to another method of therapy, to enhance the effect of both.

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

Hypnotherapy works by guiding the client into a state of hypnotic trance, using methods of guided relaxation, breathing techniques and concentration or focus to put your client into a suggestible, trance like state. (1) This pacing and leading of the client moves their mindset into a place where they’re most able to make changes without resistance, and you’re most capable of helping them.

Once in ahypnotic state, your clients will find it easier tap into their subconscious more freely, as well as become aware of thoughts and feelings with less judgement than they otherwise would. This means your clients are generally more able to focus on what needs to be focused on and move past any mental blocks or other issues that inhibit healthy growth.

The use of hypnosis as a therapy tool is growing year on year as more studies are performing confirming the efficacy of its use. Used as a tool alongside other types of therapy, hypnotherapy training is a valuable tool that allows clients to explore deep seated feelings or confront pain that they otherwise might be unable to.   

Who Can Be Helped With Hypnotherapy?

One of the most wonderful things about hypnotherapy is that the underlying methods are so powerful and effective, they can be adapted to almost any situation, including: (2)

Weight loss

A lot of the time, the reason someone puts on weight is not because of what they’re eating. It’s because of how.

The problem is normally with the relationship we have with our food, and how we’re using food in our lives, for example as a tool to deal with pain, or boredom.

Often, we might subconsciously know that our relationship with our food is unhelpful, but facing it, especially when it comes to something that we have to do every day, as a normal part of our lives, can be hard.

Once put into a hypnotic trance and allowed to examine how and why they see food in the way they do, a client will be able to break their patterns adopt a more healthy attitude, not just with food, but also breaking the patterns in life that caused the unhealthy eating patterns in the first place. (3)

Depression

One of the key triggers for depressive episodes is specific traumatic events.

Facing down these events can be difficult, and as the onset of depression progresses, a failure to deal with these same events and move on can contribute to the general feelings of lowness and worthlessness that accompany many depressive episodes.

Because hypnotherapy allows people to deal with issues in a safe, calm, non-judgemental environment, a client suffering from depression caused by specific events can find it significantly easier to work through.

On top of this, because depression is a mental disorder that can often lurk below the surface of a person’s mind, when tapping into the subconscious using hypnosis, you will be able to let patients deal with their issues in manner that’s entirely under their and your control.

Anxiety

Continuing research shows that hypnotherapy training could allow you to work on curing the root causes of anxiety disorders and panic attacks.

Once in a trance state, it can become very simple for a patient to detach from the issues that cause their anxiety, and allow them to see these problems in a more relaxed, rational, objective manner.

Often times, once these problems have been examined more closely by the patient, and behaviours to deal with them suggested by the therapist practitioner, the anxiety lessens by a great deal or simply disappears very quickly.

Confidence and Assertiveness

Low confidence and low self esteem go hand in hand. Generally, low confidence or low levels of assertiveness are indicators of a host of other underlying issues, whether in love life, career, or just general life.

Confidence comes from competence, being relaxed and knowing that no matter what comes, or what situations might throw at you, you’re equipped with the skills, tools and mental state to be able to deal with it.

By being able to talk through situations in a calm, relaxed manner whilst in a hypnotic trance, gently guided by your promptings, you will be able to escort your clients through the situations that normally cause them anxiety, curing it from the root of the problem.

Stress

Hypnotherapy serves a dual use for dealing with stress, especially when used alongside other methods of stress management.

Firstly, the act of dropping into a meditative hypnotic state actively reduces the stress response in the body. As you build trust with your clients and they learn how best to fall into a deeply relaxing trance, it will be something that they can do in their day to day lives as well as in your sessions, allowing them to better deal with stressful situations.

Secondly, hypnotherapy allows people to make deep, long lasting, sweeping changes to their lives, which can eliminate the problems that are causing their stress in the first place. 

Smoking and Addictions

Long understood as a powerful method for quitting smoking or other addictive lifestyle problems, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool that you can use to allow your clients to take control of their lives. (4)

A group study on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy for quitting smoking found that it at least as effective as other methods, which is incredible considering some of those methods include supplementation with nicotine in patches or dummy cigarettes.

One hypothesis is that the focus and attentiveness hypnosis brings allows clients to better control their cravings and urges, as well as understand why they’re making the effort to quit. Whatever the reason, all we know is, it works, and very well!

Sleep Disorders

For people suffering from sleep disorders, hypnosis is one of the most powerful cures available, hence the prevalence of sleep hypnosis apps all across our phones and videos purporting to help you sleep flooding the internet.

But nothing beats learning how to best fall into a hypnotic trance from a registered professional. When seeing clients with sleep disorders, often you might be teaching them simply how to calm and quiet the mind when it comes time to sleep, and with your training and expertise, there will be no better person to do so. (5)

Other times, simply the fact that their minds have become calmer and more relaxed through repeated hypnotic trance states allows clients to cut through the chaos that prevents them from getting a restful night’s sleep, so helping to cure their sleep disorder.

Grief and Loss

We all experience loss in our lives, and most of the time, we will be able to acknowledge and move past it, dealing with the loss and integrating it healthily into our minds and personality.

But sometimes the loss of someone is too hard, perhaps due to the closeness of the relationship, or a lack of strong support network.

In these times, hypnotherapy can be a highly effective tool, both to process the grief, and to deal with the host of surrounding issues that can arise after an unexpected or even expected loss.

Talking through the problem with an objective, caring outsider like a hypnotherapist means you can give your clients the space they need to regress back to the events, objectively observe and acknowledge their pain, then find methods to heal whatever issues are causing them all this hurt.

Are There Downsides to Hypnotherapy?

In general, hypnosis is appropriate for the vast majority of clients, but it might not be suitable for those with drug or alcohol dependency problems, or those with psychotic symptoms, such as delusions or hallucinations.

Apart from this, when used correctly, your hypnotherapy training can be a powerful tool for change and growth, especially when it comes to healing long term mental blocks.

Can Hypnotherapy Make Someone Do Something They Don’t Want To?

No. Absolutely not. Hypnotherapy is a guided practice that lets people understand their subconscious mind and break through any blocks they may have.

You can never make someone do something with hypnosis or hypnotherapy that they didn’t already want to do, consciously or subconsciously.

This is why some people think hypnosis doesn’t work. It doesn’t work on them because they’re sceptical of the practice, and don’t want to be hypnotised.

There’s an important lesson here for everyone considering hypnotherapy training. One of the first things you can do with your clients is pace them, make sure that they know that hypnotherapy works best if they expect it to do something, even something small. Then assess where they are in their personal lives, and make sure that they want to make the changes that they’re coming to you for.

Are There Different Ways To Learn Hypnosis?

There certainly are. Like anything that’s been around a long time and has been proven to work, hypnosis and hypnotherapy has been adapted, transformed and taught in a thousand different ways.

In our opinion, the current best hypnosis training on the market is Rapid Transformational Therapy or RTT by multi award winning therapist Marisa Peer.

What Makes RTT Better Than Traditional Hypnotherapy?

There are so many reasons that we would recommend anyone thinking of taking hypnotherapy training trains in RTT over other forms of hypnotherapy. Here are our main reasons:

• The head instructor and originator of the method, Marisa Peer, has been a trained therapist for over thirty years, specialising in multiple different methods of therapy.
• All of that experience, both with different methods of therapy and with thousands of clients from all walks of life and with every imaginable issue, has been combined into a single powerful, effective method that can be adapted to help anyone, in any situation.
• RTT isn’t just hypnotherapy. It’s a complete therapeutic approach that combines the most powerful parts of hypnosis with up to date psychological knowledge and a revolutionary method of self talk that, once internalised, allows clients to effect sweeping, long lasting changes to their lives with ease. 
• Rapid Transformational Therapy is, as its name suggests, an extremely fast and powerful method for long term change, and in some cases, can make huge and lasting changes in the lives of clients within just a single session!

Every method of hypnotherapy can be effective if used correctly, but in our honest opinion, if you’re looking for a therapeutic practice that brings long term change into people’s lives, and has the highest chance of that change sticking for good, no matter what might happen, then you should seriously consider studying with Marisa Peer.

The term mood cycling or rapid cycling is used to refer to a medical condition involving the Bipolar Disorder. The condition occurs when an individual with the Bipolar Disorder experiences four or more mood swings (or episodes of mood swings) over a 12-month period. For each episode, the individual may experience hypomania, mania, depression, or a mixed state condition where there is a re-occurrence of mania and depression.

Most people who have Bipolar Disorder have alternating cases of depressive and manic periods at least once or twice a year. Some experience such episodes once every few years while others undergo rapid cycling. Rapid cycling, in this case, is used when the mood swings occur fast and frequently.

The rapid cycling condition is regarded as one of the severest forms of the bipolar disorder. It can seriously impair an individual’s ability to function normally while affecting their quality of life as well.

Characteristics of Mood (Rapid) Cycling

The top characteristic of mood cycling is mood swings. As noted earlier, they can be random and unpredictable with no set pattern as to when an episode may occur or the form it may take. In many cases, it can be a precursor to even severe manifestations of a disease, including psychosis and is often prevalent in people with the Bipolar I Disorder than in the ones with the Bipolar II Disorder.

The cycling is not a diagnosis per se. Rather, it’s a description of the course of the illness. Similarly, its symptoms are not different from other forms of the bipolar disorder only that the speeds alternate. The cycling can also be hard to recognize probably because an episode is mixed or because the hypomania state has become less obvious and shorter.

What Are Mood Swings?

Mood swings are rapid or extreme changes in an individual’s mood. When they occur, they can be for good or for the extreme bad depending on when they are identified and how they are approached.

Extents and Speed of Mood Swings

Mood swings can occur at any time and place. They also vary from microscopic to wild oscillations of mania-depression. All in all, most mood swings remain between the mild and moderate ranges of the normal emotional ups and downs.

How long mood swings last can also vary from one individual to the other. They may last for a few hours – ultrarapid – in one, or extend over days – ultradian – in another. According to clinicians, a diagnosis of bipolar disorder is justified if seven days of mania or four days hypomania occur.

Causes and Symptoms of Mood Swings

Mood swings are triggered by different things including:

• Unhealthy diets

• Drug and substance abuse.

• Hormonal imbalances

• Major depression

• Bipolar disorder

• Diseases or disorders that interfere with the functionality of the nervous system: – ADHD, epilepsy, and autism.

• Degenerative diseases: – multiple sclerosis, Alzheimer’s, Parkinson’s, and Huntington’s diseases.

• Premenstrual syndrome

• Schizophrenia

Signs of upcoming mood disorders can include changes in:

• Drug or alcohol use.

• Self-esteem

• Concentration

• Energy levels

• Eating habits and patterns.

It can also be characterized by depression signs that include:

• Having death or suicidal thoughts.

• Eating too much or too little even without a medical condition.

• Difficulty in paying attention, concentrating, or making decisions.

• Suddenly losing taste in the activities, one normally enjoys.
  

• Feeling overly tired and experiencing episodes of fatigue.

• Feeling sad, worthless, and hopeless.

• Difficulty sleeping

How to Treat Mood Cycling

Mood cycling, since it’s not a diagnosis per se, does not have a cure. However, since it’s a sign of the bipolar disorder, there are remedies to it. The following steps can come in handy when you’re looking at how to control mood cycling:

1. Seeking A Medical Practitioner’s Assistance

The first approach is getting a medical professional to assess your body for diagnosis. Such a practitioner will help identify any medical issues that are associated with depression, mood swings, as well as the bipolar disorder. Such conditions include meningitis, low blood sugar problems, dementia, cardiovascular or lung diseases, thyroid complications, and brain tumors.

2. Talking to a Counselor or Psychologist
   

If there are no medical conditions, the second step towards dealing with the mood cycling problem is by seeing a professional who evaluates such cases. It could be a counselor or psychologist with the latter being in a position to prescribe therapeutic treatment. Such professionals have the knowledge of such cases as ADHD, Explosive Disorder, Anxiety Disorders, Bipolar Disorder, depression, and Opposition Defiant Disorder.

3. Lifestyle Changes

Quite often than not, people disregard living a good yet simple life. A simple change in your lifestyle can affect much of your personality, moods, and the general health. Therefore, how you live, how you interact with people, and your ups and downs of life should be managed by yourself.

In light of that, you can regulate your mood swings and control mood cycling by:

• Keeping a schedule and sticking to it: – in whatever you do, you should try to create a schedule that will work and one that you can stick to. This should be implemented especially when it comes to working timetables and eating and sleeping patterns.

• Exercising regularly: – maintaining a regular exercising schedule affects nearly all aspects of your life including the mood.

• Getting sufficient sleep: – everyone will advise you that good sleep can psyche your moods while insufficient sleep makes your body a host of every possible complication including mood swings. You should, therefore, ensure to sleep for at least eight hours a night.

• Observing a healthy diet: – eating a balanced diet is not debatable since it plays a big role in how your moods and general health fair on.

• Expressing yourself: – it’s said that speaking out a problem is solving it halfway. You should, therefore, not suffer alone while there are people you can talk to. It helps lower the weight of the burdens, stress, and depression you’re carrying.

• Keeping alcohol, caffeine, and sugar at bay: – most people never imagine living without these elements. They are both addictive and good at determining how your health and mood will end up. As such, it’s your responsibility to regulate their intake if you cannot avoid them at once.

All said and done, some steps are hard to start working on leave alone succeeding in. When this happens, there is always a need to seek professional assistance before the problem escalates. As such, you can try to explore other methods that can either treat and eliminate or control the known causes of mood swings and subsequently the mood cycling problem.

Having a leaky gut problem is one of the known causes of hormonal imbalances which lead to mood swings. Since the gut is one of the critical disease-fighting systems in the body, you should ensure its state of health of perfect. This will in the long run help to avoid the implications of a leaky gut which includes obesity, allergies, fatigue, immune challenges, headaches and migraines, skin rashes, yeast infections, acne, and hormonal imbalances.

To deal with a leaky gut, the tested and proven 3-step Protocol is the key to success. It follows the procedure below:

1. Changing the Diet

This involves checking what your diet consists of and trying to balance it. It is much easier to treat the leaky gut if you know what is causing it. Its triggers include alcohol and sugar as discussed earlier, refined foods, and a myriad of other foods and drinks that contain lectins and phylates.

2. Using Colostrum

Colostrum is the first cow milk that a cow produces immediately she gives birth. The milk is super rich in nutrients that fasten the healing of the gut lining. It’s also rich in growth and immune factors and is highly effective for the growth of the gut microbiome. Whenever you take a cup of colostrum, therefore, you are taking an antidote of the Leaky Gut Syndrome.

3. Rebalance with Probiotics

If the good bacteria fighting the invading ones are in low numbers, you can rebalance that using high strength probiotics. The bacteria are usually housed by the gut and intestines and help to fight bacteria that cause damages to the gut lining. When you rebalance them, it becomes easy to treat the leaky gut.

To get a complete solution, the 3-step Leaky Gut Protocol is the way to go. It’s your go-to, tested, and proven method of fighting mood swings by healing the Leaky Gut Syndrome.

Feeling tired is becoming a global problem. But what are the reasons for feeling tired? There’s plenty of them – and some you may not fully be aware of being a problem.

You wake up tired, you go to bed tired. You feel like a broken record constantly saying or thinking, “I’m tired.” And you just can’t seem to shake it.

It also impacts the rest of your life. Maybe you feel grumpy from the exhaustion. Or you find you just don’t have the energy to do… well, anything. Sure, you have goals. But those goals are miles away. You can’t muster up the energy to push forward toward them. Your relationships may even suffer.

Surprisingly, 37% of the general population suffers from fatigue and feeling tired. In a study conducted in 13 countries, individuals living in the United Kingdom came up on top for being the most exhausted. Ireland, Canada, and the USA weren’t far behind either.

So what are the reasons for feeling tired?

Let’s take a look!

Reason #1: Poor Sleep Quality and Quantity

Society plays into the work hard, play hard mentality. You’re told to be a go-getter. This frequently involves doing more to go after what you want – which is all fine and dandy unless it is impacting your sleep.

If you’re working long hours and cutting your sleep hours down, you aren’t doing yourself a favour. You’re likely just setting yourself back.

You need sleep. Sleep is necessary for memory and learning. Your body uses sleep to repair and rejuvenate. Without it, your cognitive functioning significantly declines (as you probably know if you’re reading this article). Thus, you need to make it a priority. Experts recommend 7-9 hours of sleep per night for the average adult.

But what if you try and try – yet – you just don’t sleep well? Sleep quality is up there as one of the top reasons for feeling tired.

You go to bed at a decent time. But you toss and turn all night. Or you wake up feeling like you barely slept. It’s not a good feeling.

Two-thirds of the population claim that they have sleeping problems. So what sleep problems are ailing you and giving you reasons for feeling tired?

There’s insomnia, sleep apnea, teeth-grinding, and more. You may not sleep well because you’re stressed out or you have a lot going on in your personal life. The reasons for feeling tired from poor sleep quality are endless. You may have an injury that keeps you awake. Or perhaps you have chronic pain that bothers you and prevents you from a restful night.

Finding out why is important. Most of the time, a visit to your doctor can help determine the reasons behind your low sleep quality. And don’t worry – we’ll offer some useful tips below to help you sleep better and have more energy.

Reason #2: Chronic Fatigue Syndrome

Across the globe, 17-24 million people have chronic fatigue syndrome. Chronic fatigue syndrome is defined by feelings of extreme exhaustion and fatigue. Scientists aren’t even entirely sure what causes it. And it’s only recently that it’s been accepted in the medical community as a real disorder.

Researchers suggest chronic fatigue syndrome may be caused by stress, hormonal imbalances, a suppressed immune system, or from certain viruses.

The symptoms are exactly as you would think. And yes, it could potentially be one of many reasons for feeling tired. With chronic fatigue syndrome, you feel tired all the time. You may get headaches, muscle pain, lack concentration, have a poor memory, and more.

Reason #3: Adrenal Fatigue

Feeling tired is a major symptom of adrenal fatigue. It’s often accompanied by body aches, possibly weight loss, low blood pressure, body hair loss, skin discolouration, and feeling lightheaded.

So what happens with adrenal fatigue? Basically, you’re stressed out. Your body is in a constant state of ‘fight or flight.’ In other words, your body perceives a threat and your adrenal glands are working overtime, pumping out stress hormones. But your adrenal glands can’t keep up with the constant stimuli. And that’s when you ultimately hit a wall of fatigue and exhaustion. It sometimes leads to serious burnout.

What are your reasons for feeling tired? If you’re working overtime and are constantly in a stressed state, this might be your main problem.  

Reason #4: Nutritional Deficiencies

An iron deficiency causing fatigue isn’t unheard of. Iron makes up the part of the red blood cells called hemoglobin. Hemoglobin carries oxygen throughout your body. Without iron, your body can’t carry as much oxygen to the places that need it. This means your body can’t make the energy it needs to keep up with demands. Consequently, you feel constant exhaustion. In addition, vitamin B12, magnesium, potassium, and folic acid deficiencies can also cause you to feel tired.

So why do nutritional deficiencies happen? Eating the incorrect types of food or not eating enough is sometimes the issue. The other side is that the nutrients aren’t being absorbed by your body properly. In this case, an underlying illness or disorder may be to blame. If you suspect your reasons for feeling tired come down to a nutritional issue, it’s a good idea to discuss it with your doctor. They can help you get to the bottom of it.

Reason #5: Leaky Gut Syndrome

You probably didn’t see this one coming! Surprisingly, leaky gut syndrome may make you feel tired. Your gut and your energy levels are closely linked – which we briefly explored above with reason #4.

Leaky gut syndrome is categorized as increased intestinal permeability. As a result, molecules – good or bad – enter the bloodstream. It causes an immune response. And problems arise when your immune system becomes either hypersensitive, or you begin experiencing auto-immune responses. It’s no wonder why excessive fatigue is one of the main symptoms. Your energy is being used up elsewhere.

Other symptoms of leaky gut syndrome that you may experience include bloating, gas, constipation, diarrhea, headaches, skin issues, joint pain, memory loss, and even more so, nutritional deficiencies (which may even further your feelings of fatigue).

How to Have More Energy

First and foremost: If sleep is a serious issue, book an appointment with your family doctor. The reasons for feeling tired above aren’t the only reasons. Get a proper check-up, and get your symptoms looked at by a professional.

With that said, how can you have more energy? Here are our top tips:

• Get an adequate amount of sleep each night
• Ensure your sleep environment is good: cool, dark room with no electronics is best.
• Exercise regularly and eat well. Stay hydrated too!
• Find a balance in your life between work, social, family, and me-time. It is possible!

Finally, consider using our free course, Leaky Gut Protocol, to aid you in healing your gut problems and to restore your sleep.

Have more energy to do what you want to do with the rest of your life!

Are you looking to know more about natural health?

Natural health is a self-care system of natural therapy which can restore health and standard wellbeing of your body. It works with the innate or natural curative powers of your body.

In other words, it is a holistic approach which deals with various issues.

This includes how you take care of your body when you’re ill, the food you eat, how you cope with pressure, and how you think about your general health.

Natural health professionals find the root causes of the symptoms so they can restore your health while maintaining proper balance by eliminating bad habits as well as the intake of unhealthy foods.

In this post, we will introduce some of the concepts of natural health to help you determine whether or not it is the right path for you.

Let’s begin.

What is Natural Health?

Natural health promotes your wellness while using natural solutions.

Sometimes in life we do things that we think are helping our bodies but end up harming it!

Take, for example, a person gulping down a bottle or two of energy drink after a race and going on with their day instead of getting some much-needed sleep to rest the body after such an exerting task.

You can incorporate natural health in your life in the following ways:

• Eating a healthy, organic, and preferably plant-based diet
• Participating in an exercise, meditation, and counseling
• Stimulating the body structure using natural therapies such as acupuncture
• Using nutritional plant-based supplements and herbs

Natural health means taking the bad out of your body including poisonous chemicals and foods, and bringing in the healthy and toxin-free choices.

Some Examples of the Natural Health Approach

With the natural health approach, you can find the root causes of certain health issues instead of looking at them in isolation over time.

Let’s take a look at a headache as an example.

We all get headaches and often we don’t think twice about popping a pain killer to make the pain go away.

Popping the pill helps alleviate the pain, and that’s it.

We get back to work.

However, we fail to take into consideration the cause of pain! The natural health approach encourages you to find out the root cause of the pain. You can get a headache for several reasons such as emotional stress, dehydration, or muscle tension.

In natural health, different causes of a headache come with different solutions.

Massage and counseling can cure a headache caused by stress. If you got a headache because of dehydration, taking enough water can help alleviate the pain. However, a critical problem, such as a migraine needs medical intervention.

Over the years, many people have believed natural health practices to be pseudoscientific. However, that isn’t true since natural health has received recognition from the National Institute of Health (NIH) – one of the world’s most outstanding medical research centers.

Why is Natural Health Becoming Increasingly Popular?

Natural health has been gaining popularity all of the world because of several reasons. Let’s take a look.

• Natural health looks at the complete well being of your body, not at just the disease
• There has always been a passionate desire among people to embrace medicine that comes from Mother nature
• Natural health identifies the possible underlying cause of illness
• Natural health care professionals place importance on quality time spent with patients

A Quick Peek at Natural Health and Physical Wellness

Since the beginning of time, staying alive has come down to survival of the fittest. This means survival is physically demanding.

However, humans in modern societies have spoilt their life as they’ve been living in their mind and have completely forgotten about the fact that they have a body to take care of! Many people work in an office operating the computer, reading, thinking with little to no physical labor.

Physical wellness is something that people may put on the back burner.

Most lifestyle diseases such as obesity, high blood pressure, hypertension, heart diseases, etc. are directly related to the lack of physical exercise.

So, exercise is an essential part of natural health as it increases your health in various domains and prevents your muscles from deteriorating. You need to do the following in your life to stay healthy:

• Lead an active lifestyle
• Spend time in nature
• Eat a good diet
• Listen to your body

Conclusion

Natural health is more than just physical wellness

You must have heard the phrase “You can’t out-exercise a bad diet” at least once, right?

Experts believe that this is a crucial aspect when maintaining a healthy body.

Natural health and physical exercise are both important. However, natural health imposes a significant impact on your body composition.

The natural health approach involves monitoring the food you eat, the way you respond to pressure, how you take care of your body, etc. and is capable of changing your body composition without taking part in physical exercise.

Engaging in physical wellness by exercise will be a waste of time without knowing about the concepts of natural health. Physical wellness often develops different parts of your body while the natural health approach takes care of your entire body.

Historically, conventional medicine has been the forerunner in treating illness and disease. This type of medicine frequently treats the symptoms via drugs or surgery. The problem? It rarely addresses other contributing factors – such as mental, spiritual, and emotional aspects. It also fails to look at the body as a whole.

For instance, stress may cause widespread inflammation in the body. In turn, it may contribute to a variety of health problems. If the causes of the stress are not addressed, the individual may never find optimal health again.

Today, holistic medicine is taking over. More and more healthcare professionals are accounting for aspects relating to holistic health.

But what is holistic health exactly?

Let us explain.

Holistic Health Treats the Patient as a Person – Not Just a Disease

Various factors contribute to optimal health. According to the holistic health perspective, overall health is based on overall wellbeing. In other words, holistic health is not based on the absence of disease or symptoms. It is based on the balance of the mind, body, spirit, and emotions as a whole.

Everything in the body is connected. When one piece of the machine is broken, it inevitably impacts other parts.

For example…

If you break your leg, it may impact other parts of your body. Your opposite leg compensates for your broken leg. Weakness in the affected leg may also cause issues with other structures. When you start to walk again, your hip may ache as it tries to help move the weak and previously-injured leg.

Problems with the hip may create back issues. It may further create a certain amount of emotional stress – especially if you were an active individual before the injury. You can’t exercise as you did before. Depending on your job, you may not be able to work. It is a multifaceted issue.

Another example involves an individual with depression. Their mental illness hinders their physical health. They may turn to unhealthy food or possibly not eat at all. Perhaps they stop taking care of their body. Maybe they stay in bed all day and do not take part in enough movement or exercise. Consequently, their immune system becomes suppressed. They begin to fall ill frequently. Doctors attempt to treat the symptoms of the illness. However, the cause is untreated depression.

Holistic health works to address each aspect of the human machine. In a holistic health approach, the emotional stress caused by your broken leg would also be addressed. The mental illness leading to physical illness would be considered.

Essentially, recovery would come down to restoring balance in the emotional, physical, and spiritual aspects. The causes and reasoning behind the symptoms are taken into account. Healthcare practitioners work with the person as a partnership – rather than viewing the person as solely a disease.

Holistic Health Supports the Body’s Natural Healing Abilities

Drugs and surgery aren’t necessarily the first go-to for obtaining optimal health and wellbeing. Lifestyle changes are often able to offer the same relief as certain drugs. And these changes use the body’s own abilities to optimize health.

Luckily today, many doctors are starting to recommend lifestyle changes to treat symptoms relating to heart disease or diabetes. The body is simply out of balance.

For instance, excess weight causes an array of imbalances throughout the body. Yet, exercise and a proper diet go a long way in fixing related health issues. These factors use the body to their advantage. They create an environment that promotes good health and wellbeing. By doing so a number of health problems are alleviated.

Holistic Health is the Future of Healthcare

Healthcare professionals are realizing the positive impact of viewing the body as a whole. And it does not necessarily exclude conventional medicine practices.

Instead, holistic health involves a combined approach. Treating a person with borderline diabetes may involve a low dose of a certain medication. It may also involve reinforcing specific lifestyle changes – such as movement and a healthy diet – to reduce their risk of eventually developing diabetes.

Alternative medicine is further part of this holistic view – including massage therapy, acupuncture, and dietary supplementation.

Essentially, holistic health is the integration of the best healthcare practices to restore balance and integrity within the body. It further holds the person responsible for their own health. It involves a positive outlook and state of being – which are the responsibilities of each individual.

Holistic healthcare is the future. Today, healthcare practitioners communicate with each other more than ever before – giving way to a more comprehensive system. This system further focuses on prevention as well as treatment.

Holistic health could even be considered an approach to your own life. Practice positive thinking and self-care. Look after your body via proper diet and exercise. Take time to mentally unwind when you need it. Become more in tune with yourself. In turn, you’ll become a more healthier and happier person – and you’ll lead a fuller and longer life.

Your heart is racing and you can’t stop it. The sweat is dripping down your brow. The worst is that feeling of doom, like it’s coming for you now and there’s nothing you can do. Panic. It all feels so inescapable. That’s what anxious and panic can feel like for people who suffer from those disorders on a daily basis.

Anxiety can feel like a debilitating illness, but it is important to know and remember what it is and what it is not. While it may seem like the walls are closing in, with practice and support, you can get through whatever your anxious feelings throw at you. Let’s look at anxiety first, and then some simple things that you can do to overcome anxious feelings in particular.

Anxiety

First, feeling anxious is mostly a physiological reaction. It is what has been hardwired into your nervous system and has helped keep humanity alive when we were fighting for survival against nature. The fight, flight, or freeze part of the nervous activates when you determine there is a threat. When that activates, your body suddenly gets pumped full of adrenalin, and you are in a heightened state of arousal. Your heart is beating fast, you’re sweating, and you feel panic. Does that sound familiar?

The psychological aspect of this is what we determine to be a threat. In modern times, there are few tigers or bears thinking we are lunch. Instead, we have upset customers or an angry boss. We have to deal with medical problems. Or we have to get out of our comfort zone and talk to a stranger at a party. These are just some of the things that growing up, we learn can be scary and dangerous. This activates the fight, flight, or freeze system, and we have anxiety and panic.

So, you may be wondering, if it is a part of who we are, what can we really do about it?

There is a lot that can be done, none of which requires medication or going to a doctor. While that can be helpful, there are other, more natural strategies to try first, that do not require addictive medications.

Where Do You Start?

One of the most important things to do is to acknowledge that you are dealing with anxious and panic. That is a major hurdle to overcome for many. Men, for the most part, struggle to admit to being scared, so they may call it other things. Learn to first identify what you are feeling, and acknowledge it. You do not have to accept, it; work to change what you are feeling, but you need to acknowledge that it is real and you are having a problem with it.

Now, feelings can be complicated, that much is obvious. We should, and need, to experience the wide variety of emotions there are. As much as painful emotions can be hurtful, they are necessary to heal and grow from the experience. As much as positive feelings need to be experienced fully and cherished, so too must the negative ones be observed. They are, after all, part of what makes us human.

What Can You Do?

Now, looking at what is helpful in order to control anxiety and panic more, the first step is to acknowledge what you are experiencing. This could be part of a daily meditation process. Spending some time every day just being. Find a quiet place, sit comfortably, and just breathe. Pay attention to your body, what it is doing. Let your thoughts drift. Notice them, but do not fight with them. Practicing daily meditation and learning about other mindfulness techniques will be the first step to short circuiting unnecessary anxiety.

You may choose to take time every day to practice gratitude as part of your mindfulness as well. Often we get lost in the day to day grind, and forget that we can be truly blessed with simple things. Take the time to seek them out and look at them for all their glory and beauty. It’s easy to be upset you are not a millionaire, but it’s a lot harder and infinitely more helpful to be grateful you have a house and food.

Part of this is teaching the process of just slowing down, so that you can interrupt anxiety when you start to feel it coming. That’s a key feature: you need to start doing something about it before it gets out of control. When you start feeling yourself breathing faster is the time to start relaxing and doing a meditative exercise.

SOMA Breath for Anxiety and Panic

Using SOMA meditation and breathwork, you can successfully interrupt anxiety and panic, feel less anxious, and more centered in your daily life. If you are feeling anxious, and that is ruining your day-to-day life, it is time to reach out for some tools to help yourself. You do not have to live anxious every day.

One of the key benefits you get from living a life less anxious is not seen as often. Anxious decisions are very rarely good, helpful or healthy. Anxious people will jump at any option that makes it go away, and those do not work out in the long run. Only when you are calm and focused, can you make healthy and helpful decisions in life for both you and your family.

Anxiety and panic can seem dangerous to the person experiencing them, but they are not, and do not need to feel that way. Acknowledge them and learn the tools to feel less anxious daily, and in life overall. SOMA meditation and breathwork is a way to accomplish this goal and take back your life from anxiety and panic. You do not need to suffer from feeling anxious anymore.

The Darkness Retreat With Shashi Solluna

I just had one of the best months of my life at a resort called Serenity Living with some of the world’s top tantra practitioners in a stunning location on a magical island called Koh Phangan in Thailand.

This is a co-working, co-living community curated by my dear friend Shashi Solluna, a Taoist tantra teacher. We have even co-created her debut meditation album that is now being signed by Hay House.

We are all at around the table on one of last few days together having a last supper to celebrate the launch of our album with the rest of the community.

The soaring highs, the sheet depth of connections, and the innumerable positive insights and emotions created from this month of embracing tantra at a deep level for the first time ever over-shadowed any thoughts of the trip I was about to embark on to Zorba The Buddha. This is an Osho based retreat centre found in a tranquil sanctuary in the heart of Delhi, the capital of my motherland India.

I had no idea of what I was about to really put myself through and the real seriousness of the revelation and deep insights I was about to receive. All talk of this amongst my friends was making fun of the obvious question:

Why on Earth would anyone want to spend an entire week in complete darkness?

How Can A Darkness Retreat Awaken You?

Many spiritual and shamanic traditions have used meditations in pitch darkness as a method of healing, transformation and awakening. How can this simple technique be a catalyst of transformation?

If we take a look at the chemistry of the brain we can begin to understand the biochemistry behind awakening.

How A Darkness Retreat Awakens The Pineal Gland

It is thought that the biological structure associated with the third eye, or inner eye, is a gland called the pineal gland. Some theories say that the pineal gland can become calcified, and thus our inner vision becomes dulled or blocked. By purifying this gland, it is decalcified and thus activated.

Activation of the pineal gland may be what ancient mystics have called “opening your third eye”. Spiritual awakening is a shift in perception. It is not the outer world that changes, but the inner world.

When the perception shifts from seeing separation to seeing oneness, it is said we see with our inner eye open. Along the way, the practitioner may or may not experience shifts in perception such as psychic abilities, astral travel, and lucid dreaming.

The pineal gland has been called “the seat of the soul” (Descartes and Bailey) and is thought to be a very profound spiritual center of the brain. In Tao Tantra, there is a term called the “crystal palace” used in meditation. This is said to be connected to both the third eye and the crown chakra. Thus to activate it is to activate the higher spiritual centers.

Why DMT Is Produced In The Brain During A Darkness Retreat

The chemistry of the brain gets really interesting when we start to look deeper into the pineal gland. We find that under circumstances of light deprivation, the pineal produces a psychedelic substance called DMT. This is a naturally occurring substance, which occurs at birth and death in humans.

DMT is also produced during a shamanic plant medicine drinking ritual called “Ayahuasca”, which is drunk for visionary purposes. However, it has been discovered that an individual can develop the release of DMT naturally within their own brain, in a more natural and gentle way through meditation, darkness retreats, and pineal gland decalcification.

Many people experience anxiety on a day-to-day basis. Symptoms can range from nervousness and tension in the muscles all the way to debilitating panic attacks and chest pains. While it is probably best to see a medical doctor if you are experiencing severe chest pains, there are plenty of natural remedies for anxiety that we will outline in this article.

This article will talk about:

• Lifestyle changes for anxiety.
• Supplements for anxiety.
• Other remedies for anxiety.

Lifestyle Changes for Anxiety

Yoga

There is a lot of research that shows Yoga to be highly beneficial in reducing symptoms of anxiety. This is probably because Yoga involves slowing down and focussing on posture and breath. These anxiety-reducing effects have also been shown in children. By taking up Yoga for anxiety, you will be committing to one of the long-term natural remedies for anxiety.

If Yoga is not for you, any type of exercise can be highly beneficial in reducing symptoms of anxiety.

Use SOMA Breathwork techniques to reduce your symptoms of anxiety.

Meditate

There is an increasing amount of research that demonstrates the effects of meditation on the brain and on people’s sense of wellbeing. Just like taking up Yoga, dedicating time to a daily meditation of just 10 minutes could help you feel calmer and more in control of your life. When people learn how to clear their minds using meditation, they often report being able to clear their minds more effectively during the day.

Use SOMA meditations to reduce your symptoms of anxiety.

Write

Writing creatively or keeping a journal helps people express and make sense of their feelings. For example, students who wrote about their exam worries were shown to perform better in exams. If you don’t want to journal regularly, you can try writing about your feelings, experiences, and concerns whenever you feel the need to get things off your chest.

Spend time with Animals

Spending time with animals is one of our favourite natural remedies for anxiety! In fact, animal therapy has become commonplace in higher education institutions thanks to research that shows how spending time with dogs and cats can reduce heart rate and blood pressure. Spending time with cute and fluffy loving animals can really help calm your nerves. Ask your friends if you can walk their dog, maybe offer to pet-sit in your local community. Visiting a petting zoo or farm is also a great way to reduce anxiety!

Supplements for Anxiety

CBD Oil

There’s no doubt about it: CBD oil can improve our overall health tremendously! We’ve already shared the benefits of CBD oil right here. We dedicated a whole article on how to use CBD oil as one of the best natural remedies for anxiety and panic attacks.

Herbal Teas

Drinking herbal teas like chamomile tea is a well known piece of advice for people who are seeking natural remedies for anxiety. As well as the calming effects that herbs can have on the body, taking time to sit down and relax with a warm drink is comforting and relaxing. Other herbal teas you can try are lemon balm, lavender, and passionflower.

Ashwaghanda

Ashwaghanda is the most common of the natural remedies for anxiety in Ayurveda. Taking an ashwaghanda supplement could help reduce cortisol levels in the body significantly after just 2 months. We always recommend you seek out a high-quality supplement to ensure you get the results you are after.

Other Natural Remedies for Anxiety

You do not have to tackle anxiety alone. Asking for help can be difficult, but it is always worth it. As well as incorporating any of the above natural remedies for anxiety, you might consider seeking professional help as well. Here are some options you can consider.

Therapy

Therapy is the most common option taken when seeking professional natural remedies for anxiety. Going to visit a therapist that you trust can help you to understand what triggers your feelings of anxiety. A therapist can also help you to make the lifestyle changes mentioned above.

Cognitive Behavioural Therapy is really effective in treating anxiety. When you take part in CBT, it helps you to understand how your thoughts and emotions affect your behaviour. Then, you can replace those reactions with a more positive behaviour.

Sometimes, therapy faces criticism for being too clinical and medical – aiming to reduce symptoms instead of getting to the cause of problems. Thankfully, there are other professional-based natural remedies for anxiety.

Life Coaching

Life coaching is beginning a revolution in personal growth. Often goal-based, life coaching has been shown significantly reduce anxiety levels and increase feelings of happiness and well-being. It is easy to find a life coach in your area, or to find a life coach that you meet with online. Life coaches will use psychology-based methods to find out what could be causing your anxiety and then they will give you actionable steps to purposefully resolve the problems.

Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy works by reaching past your conscious, rational thinking brain and speaking directly to your subconscious mind. It is a myth that you have no control during hypnotherapy sessions. You are always in control of your own mind. Hypnotherapy is proving to be highly effective in treating a range of problems from quitting smoking to weight loss, fertility, and breaking through limiting beliefs. We even wrote an article on how to become a hypnotist.

Conclusions

In this fast-paced world, anxiety rates are higher than ever. If left untreated, anxiety symptoms can get worse and severely impact your health and wellbeing. Thankfully, there are so many natural remedies for anxiety that you can take back control of your anxiety before it gets out of hand. There is no “quick fix” for anxiety, but that long-term lifestyle changes are the best way to reduce your feelings of anxiety.

The only remaining question is this: which of these natural remedies for anxiety will you incorporate into your life today?

We now see the same trend with hypnotherapy.

Hypnotherapy is quickly growing in popularity and getting increased attention in magazines, TV shows, and online health and wellness publications.

Respected institutions like Yale, Stanford, and the Mayo Clinic are researching the science behind hypnosis, and an increasing number of journals provide evidence that hypnotherapy does work.

How to Become a Hypnotist

More people than ever want to know how to become a hypnotist after witnessing its positive effects on people’s lives. In as little as one session you can overcome addictions, gain more confidence and feelings of high self-esteem.

Hypnosis has gained acceptance from the medical establishment, too. Healthcare professionals like dentists and psychiatrists now use hypnosis on their clients.

All of this means that the demand for high-quality hypnotherapy practitioners is growing. Now is the best time to pursue a certification.

Whether you are a therapist who wants to offer your clients more, you work in another field and want to change careers, or if you simply want to further your personal growth, becoming a hypnotherapist could be what you’re looking for.

What’s more, the field of hypnosis is constantly evolving, there are always new techniques to learn and expand your skill set.

• Gain control over the subconscious mind.
• Reach goals in a shorter time.
• Learn techniques to combat stress.
• Overcome addictions, lose weight.
• And so many more.

So, How Do You Become a Hypnotist?

Various trade groups and professional associations like the International Hypnosis Federation regulate the hypnotherapy industry.

They set the basic guidelines that you must meet to become a certified hypnotherapist. These include about 250 hours or more of coursework and in-person training.

There are many hypnotherapy courses available. Weekend courses are available, however many of these instructors are disreputable.

So before you decide which course to take, it’s important to know if it is reputable and meets the industry standards.

With this in mind, here are some things you should take into consideration when looking for a hypnotherapy course:

1. Check the Course Curriculum

Ensure that you check the course content when looking to learn how to become a hypnotist.

A good course will start with a psychological basis including how the subconscious mind works, before moving on to the practical techniques of hypnosis.

You also need to make sure that the course includes in-person training, teaches you how to use hypnosis for various conditions, and provides training on advanced methods. This guarantees you to become a skilled hypnotherapist.

Most importantly, becoming skilled in hypnotherapy takes time. So you should make sure the course you take involves a minimum of 250 hours of coursework.

2. Is Your Teacher Experienced and Reputable?

Before enrolling in a course, you need to make sure the teacher is an experienced and reputable practitioner.

Have they been trained? What credentials do they have? Do they have a hypnosis teaching certification?

To get the best hypnotherapy training, search for practitioners who can prove that they fulfil all of the above criteria.

3. Is The Course Industry Approved?

You should also check whether the course is approved by the International Hypnosis Federation (IHF).

An IHF-approved the course is a reputable hypnotherapy course which meets industry standards such as 250+ hours of coursework. It is designed to ensure a solid foundation and good knowledge in a number of hypnosis techniques.

Taking a course which has been industry approved gives you many benefits:

As a certified hypnotherapist, potential clients will instantly recognise that you have committed to training to become a skilled practitioner.

Gain credibility as a practitioner. Clients will know you have undergone the proper training, and didn’t just take a pseudo-hypnotherapy weekend course.

You will know the latest research, philosophy, and training in hypnotherapy.

Networking and support in industry trade groups to grow your practice for which being professionally certified is a must.
