1. Adele Quit Smoking hypnosis try number four

   Posted on 9:42am Sunday 24th Jan 2016

   Singer Adele has had another try at stopping smoking using hypnosis. It's not the first time she has tried this method but previously it just hasn't worked for her.

   What could be different this time?

   There have been reports previously about how she had visited various Harley Street Hypnotherapists to have quit smoking hypnosis and yet she always seemed to go back to smoking again. Personally as a therapist who would only agree to see someone that really wanted it to work I have written and spoken about why it wouldn't work before.

   In fact you can even watch a video where you can see Adele and her thoughts about it here...

   The problem was that she really didn't want it to work. If you don't want to stop then of course you won't. Hypnotherapy is very effective at helping people who really do want to quit, I know personally because before I started helping others I used it myself! The one thing it is unable to do is make you do something that you do not want to do. You can't make people act in ways that they don't want to.

   What's different about the Quit Smoking hypnosis for Adele this time? 

   The Mail reports that she had a secret visit to another Harley Street hypnotherapist before Christmas, and this time the way she has spoken about it sounds so much more positive.

   If you watched the video above you can hear her talking about how much she likes smoking and if you like something that much then why would you give it up?

   This time is really does sound like she is in a much more positive frame of mind.

   Once you start thinking about all the negatives of smoking and start to understand that you are not giving up smoking..but gaining health, extra cash and much better breath (and that is just the start!) then you can really see that it is a very positive thing.

   Talking to Rolling Stone Magazine she said..

   ‘I absolutely loved it, but it's not that f****** cool when I'm dying from a smoking-related illness and my kid is, like, devastated’.

   Often when someone looks at their children they can see that everyone benefits from them becoming a non smoker.

   The Daily Mail reported on the secret visits to hypnotherapist in Harley street saying..

   After losing her voice completely in 2011, cancelling shows and undergoing surgery, she was told by doctors to quit her habit or face the end of her career.

   She had a £295 session with Harley Street hypnotist Susan Hepburn in 2014 in an attempt to give up for good but relapsed.

   Her trip to Max Kirsten’s Knightsbridge clinic came just months before the release of her smash hit single Hello.

   It may have cost her £500 this time but of course that is a great investment in her future.

   If you don't want to go to Harley Street and pay Harley street prices then hypnotherapy to quit smoking can be a lot more affordable for you. You can read all about how it works here:

2. Extracts from Paul Mckenna Book Instant influence and Charisma

   Posted on 10:57am Thursday 14th Jan 2016

   The new Paul Mckenna Book and CD has hit the bookshelves of Amazon, WH Smith and everywhere else that you may expect. It's called Instant Influence and Charisma and interestingly it seems to use many of the techniques that Paul was trained in when he worked with Richard Bandler on NLP training which is something that he still runs workshops for.

   What is NLP?

   NLP stand for Neuro Linguistic Programming and it aims to show you techniques that can help you to change the way you think and change the way that you feel. Often it can be associated with sales techniques and people being told ways that they can create empathy. In fact, I would think that the more you try and do something that isn't natural then the less likely you are to come across as sincere, hence the reason many salespeople come across as creepy and slimy!

   So, the Daily Mirror has serialised part of the book and is explaining a couple of techniques so let's take a look...

   

   The power poses

   "You can make yourself more confident and assertive, lower cortisol (the stress hormone) and raise levels of testosterone (the confidence hormone), just by practising these three simple poses.

   I’ve shared them with many friends and clients. Some of them go to the bathroom to do the poses before important meetings, and they notice that even walking from the bathroom to the meeting room people treat them differently.

   Power pose one: Feet on desk, hands behind head

   Power pose two: Straight back, hands on hips

   Power pose three: Punch the air with both arms"

   These are already of interest to me because although standing in a way that makes you feel more confident is a great idea the first pose is one that may be familiar to you.

   Have you ever had a boss who put his feet on the desk and his hand behind his head? I know I have had them in the past and all they make me think is that the person needs to get a grip and stop trying to look as if they are higher status than me. It's just disrespectful.

   So, although I am often a fan of Paul Mckenna, because basically he takes all the good things that practising hypnotherapists like myself are doing, on this occasion he seems to have written a book for car salesmen.
