1. What I did when my drive was blocked by a builders delivery..

   Posted on 9:16am Tuesday 3rd Jun 2014

   A few days ago I had an hour away from the office. I needed to go and get some more bottled water for clients as we seemed to be getting through more bottles than I expected...and a few minutes in a different environment can help to break up the day.

   When I returned I saw a sight that I was not expecting... my driveway was blocked by two huge pallets of building materials. I imagined that a builders merchant had arrived in a lorry and dumped them outside of my house rather than whoever they were supposed to be delivering them to.

   When I saw it my jaw fell open and I exclaimed out loud "oh well" and then drove round them and was able to get my car back into the drive.

   Basically I just wasn't bothered about it at all.

   Then it hit me...what was the matter with me!?  I should be incandescent with rage. My blood should be boiling and I should be reaching for my phone so that I could call someone and swear at them loudly. I should be spending the rest of my day furious and when the neighbours returned home I should be marching round and telling them to sort it out whilst swearing profusely.

   But I wasn't doing that.I was calm, relaxed and frankly not bothered at all.

   I wonder how you would have felt?

   What was really in my mind was that the driver probably had many deliveries to make, he perhaps was struggling to get his lorry close enough to the neighbours house. The neighbours certainly hadn't asked for it to be left outside the wrong house. So, what was the big deal?

   In fact, of course there is no big deal. For the rest of the day my clients were able to get into the parking space that was left and my neighbours had to walk round, but the next day we moved them and had a good laugh about it.

   The simple fact is that even I was surprised by how relaxed I was about it. I know why of course. What benefit would I have from being angry and annoyed? I would be the one who felt bad. It could have ruined my day. But, I didn't even have to try and think that way because I just felt calm and relaxed by it already. In fact I probably felt calmer when I saw it than before because it brought home exactly how much calmer my life is now compared to a few years ago. Believe me, I would have been angry and upset in the past about it.

   In my mind I always know that if something causes me stress all I need to do is imagine if it will be of concern to me in three months time. If it won't, then why let myself worry about it now?

   There are so many benefits to my life from being able to help others learn to relax and end anxiety and even now I get surprised on a weekly basis. Who would have thought that a pallet outside my house would teach me how relaxed I was?!

   Next time something happens to you that makes your temperature rise..just imagine how you will feel about it in three months time....

   .....will it really matter?

2. What is Past Life Regression like?

   Posted on 9:49am Saturday 24th May 2014

   What do you think of when you hear the words Past life regression hypnosis? Is it something that seems a little out of this world? What is past life regression hypnotherapy really like though? What do you experience and how does it relate to your life now? Is it just an entertainment or is there something deeper?

   I am often asked questions about past life regression as it is a subject that people are very curious about. It isn't something that I do with many clients. In fact I don't even advertise it as being something that I do because I know that there are misconceptions about what it is for and what the purpose of going back to a past life reallly is.

   The questions that get asked are often along the lines of thought that we don't really have a past life anyway. This is our only life so unless you believe that you lived other lives it just won't work.  The thing is that I don't think we are reincarnated from a previous life as an ancient Egyptian or servant in a castle in the middle ages...and yet I do past life work with clients...why?

   Well, as an experience it can in fact be very enlightening. When in a calm state of relaxation our minds are open to thoughts and suggestions and the ideas that come out often relate to our lives now in a way that we would not have thought. So, in fact past life regression hypnosis is helping you to deal with this life.

   Here is an example. A recent client who saw me for some past life work wrote a blog about her experiences, here are some of the thoughts that she put down on paper...

    

   "I recently had a very interesting experience. I had a session of past life regression. Now I don’t believe in things like this but I am willing to try most things.

   The mind is a very powerful thing and I believe that my “past” has given me a few clues as to how to deal with the present. Is this my subconscious trying to tell me something?

   The session started with me being in a comfortable position, eyes closed and listening to some relaxing music. Mark got me into a very relaxed state and had me focussing on a safe place for me to be in. It all sounds a little strange and wacky but in a weird way I enjoyed it. I don’t want to tell you all about the session but I felt a very strong pulling feeling and a clear sense of being alone.

   What I learnt from this experience can help me in this life. I had run away from something or someone. Something I should have stayed to deal with. The consequence was that I was alone, content but not happy. I interpret this as running away is not the answer, stay and face things, deal with them and then things will be better.

    I came around from the session feeling absolutely fine. I would definitely do it again."

    

   As you can see for yourself what really happens is that you connect yourself to things that relate to the now. Often you can make a change when you see the things that are holding you back and you may even realise why that is.

   I only work on past life regression with clients that have worked with me before because I think that being open to the thoughts and comfortable is something that really benefits the session. The trust element is very important to how well the session works. For this reason and because it is a specialised area I offer a two session package that includes an introductory session and hypnosis recording as well as recording the session of past life work that takes place in the second session.
