Here is one of my favourite poems, often we focus our friendships and love on what people do rather than who they truly are.  I hope you enjoy it as much as me and use it as wonderful reminder what life is about. The Invitation by Oriah It doesn’t interest me what you do for a living. I want to know what you ache for and if you dare to dream of meeting your heart’s longing. It doesn’t

I personally find it so sad that dyslexia is still defined as a learning disability.  The problems with our modern day schooling is that "one size fits all" and doesn't take into account that children (and adults) see and experience the world in different ways and to me that's a wonderful aspect of life. This article is one from my heart as I am dyslexic. School was not a positive experience

I came across this Indian proverb on twitter and it got me thinking on how we often focus on what we don't have rather than what we do have. Our energy can sometimes be misplaced.....we focus and direct our energy on what we want want want rather than appreciate all that the wonderful things that we have. Today I am going to count my blessings, or if blessing feels too religious for you think

Death is the unspoken word, but there are two things which are certain about being human - one is we are all born and the other we all die at some point. Death is an unbreakable contract, you may hide from it, not wishing to discuss it, hoping it will simply pass you by.  It's not just yourself which death impacts, but also your loved ones and friends. I read an interesting article on the

Our society and world is entering a new era, globalisation and our modern day life style are all adding fuel to the already fragile global economic crisis. As a society financial freedom is often viewed as the ability to buy expensive items, travel to the latest holiday hotspots, buy want you want, and when you want.  Wealth is often associated with financial freedom.  We need to change

 Hypnobirthing for a relaxed birth Hypnobirthing is a wonderful process to work with you, your baby and your body to experience a beautiful birth. It helps to create a deeper connection with your body and baby and learn how to listen and respond when needed. In our western society giving birth is often surrounded by anxiety, worries and fears.

On Monday I will start the diet, go to the gym, start eating healthy, stop eating chocolate. Sound familiar? You may be one of the millions of women and men who struggle with diets and weight loss. There are so many different types of diets around today, some focus on losing weight slowly and healthy and others are more "get skinny quick at any expense". Dieting can actually be an unnatural

More than half workers take less than 20 minutes for their lunch break, and 20 percent do not take a break at all. The body needs a break, a rest from work.  If you are one of the 20 percent of workers who do not take a lunch break - you may be doing more harm than good. Breaks allow your mind and body to relax and enable you to return with a clearer mind and much more clarity. I am very

Ask yourself this question: "Will this matter a year from now?" Richard Carlson, writing in Don't Sweat the Small Stuff I love this, what a great thought to put things into perspective.

This morning I was determined to get out of bed early and for a walk in the park and meditation. Sometimes just being determined isn’t enough, as when that alarm rings so loudly in the morning my first thought is not about walking and meditating it is more like “ten more minutes sleep!” Last night I decided the next morning would be different. Not only was I determined, but I had intent as well.

Gambling addiction affects 250,000 people in the UK (according to the NHS website). With Internet usage increasing so much over the past few years so has the number of people addicted to gambling.

The next step is to look at changing your belief system.

I recently discovered this poem "Desiderata" written by Max Ehrmann in 1927.I love this poem, it's message and wording is so timeless, now 85 years later, the words still carry a powerful message on how to be yourself in this ever changing world. I hope you enjoy reading it as much as me, and find the words coming alive and true.

I posted the below on my twitter account today and it really got me thinking: Embrace and love who you are and not what, or who, others want you to be People spend so much energy not being themselves and being who their families, partners, friends or work colleagues want them to be and they forget who they are. The first step is to listen and trust in your inner-voice.  Let today be the day

As a hypnotherapist who works with weight loss clients I personally do not believe in dieting. The problem with diets is that perhaps you only use them to lose weight within a specific period and once you reach your target weight, the old eating habits creep back in and the weight falls back on before you know it. Diets do not work on the underlying issues of why people overeat, snack on junk

By Linda Connors Hypnotherapist for anger 9th February 2011 Emotions are part of being human; there is no escaping them and society has decided to label emotions as either positive or negative. All emotions, the good, bad and the ugly are part of life and is what makes us who we are. Without feeling sadness, how can we experience happiness? Life is about balance, so it’s important to accept all

Do you ask yourself questions such as: "Why am I here", "Who am I", "Is this it", "What is my life purpose", "Is this all there is"?  Hypnotherapy is a wonderful process to help you find the answers you seek and so much more by allowing you to reach inside and communicate with your inner-self.   Many people still perceive  hypnotherapy as being a limited function for stop smoking or public

I read an article the other day by Nicholas Kristof from the New York Times  regarding two sisters who stood their ground against a mob for the sole purpose of creating democracy in Egypt.  It's an inspirational story about the two sisters , who despite being surrounded by a mob of thugs who jostled them and shouted at them decided that they would not be silenced anymore and they explained

What is Integrative Hypnotherapy Many people ask me how I work as an Integrative Hypnotherapist and although this is a simple question it is not an easy one to answer. The reason being is, as an Integrative Hypnotherapist, I seek to understand various approaches and work with these in a way which resonates and fits in with the client’s way of being. My way of working is unique with each client

In a previous post I mentioned the problem with what I term as "junk food" or "fast food" therapy.  Therapy that is fast, however not that beneficial and rarely lasting.  It reminds me of placing a band-aid on a cut which actually needs stitches - it's more of a short-term measure as it will do it's job for a little while but the condition will still need treating as some point.

Many people use hypnotherapy to create and implement positive thinking and it's a powerful tool to utilise.   But how realistic is it to maintain positive thinking constantly?  We live in an age where we want everything quick and easy without working towards it, the junk food of therapy in a sense.   Unfortunately some Hypnotherapist oversell what hypnosis can do; Yes, hypnotherapy can be used to

What a powerful emotion jealousy is!  Underlying this emotion is a fear, real or imaginary such as fear of abandonment, fear of loss and love, fear of shame and sometimes it is also it is a mask of self protection due to unresolved issues from a past relationship. When jealousy arises, it is because you may be scared of not having your needs met and this can be emotionally draining as jealousy

Emotions are part of being human, there is no escaping from them.  There's the positive - happiness, joy, and feelings of comfort.  On the other side of this is the unwanted emotions, or as some people call them negative emotions, such as anger, guilt, jealousy and fears. All emotions, the good, bad and the ugly are part of life, it's natural to feel sad and angry sometimes.  It's when the

Feeling stressed, anxious, irritable, longing for a holiday? How much "me time" do you have? As our society changes with the passing of time and we get carried away with the demands of modern day living, putting others first, working too many hours and the material desire to have the latest gadgets we often forget about the importance of having "me time".

Over the Christmas period I volunteer for a homeless shelter in London, and sadly last night was my last shift as the centre closed today. The shelter is much more than just providing a bed and food for the homeless over the Christmas period.

Never before has the Christmas number one generated so much interest and community spirit. I have been following this campaign over the passed few days and I started to reflect and think why there is so much interest in this - and I think it is much deeper than the Christmas charts and Simon Cowell - we have been too passive and this is an opportunity for our voice to be heard.

I came across a lovely book in a book store recently and it was focussed on a beautiful poem titled "The Invitation". After reading the poem, I started to contemplate relationships and if we are ever truly present with our family, friends and loved ones. Do we skirt around the edges of relationships and fabrics of society and never finding the courage to really understand each other. Do we play

I have been writing on this blog for a while now and I thought it was time to discuss hypnotherapy. I have often been asked my people: "What's the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?" and "Is hypnotherapy safe" Hypnosis is one of the oldest therapeutic techniques known to man. It is a completely natural occurring state of mind in which we experience a light or deep relaxation

Just following on from my previous articles about redundancy - in part one, I mentioned a friend who was advised that she will be made redundant.The transformation over the past few weeks is amazing, in the fact that she now feels that by being made redundant has provided new and exciting opportunities that she was too scared to follow earlier. The future is now an exciting place, although still

Redundancy is listed as one of the top five most stressful times in our lives, next to divorce, moving house, death of a partner and death of a parent. And with the current global economic situation it’s important that we learn to deal with this situtation during these pressing times.People who are facing or have faced redunancy often experience a high mix of emotions such as:

Hooray I hear you shout! With more cold weather forecast

It’s the third week into the New Year and I wonder how many people have already disposed off their new year’s resolutions.Come on, be honest!!It’s at this time of year we often ask ourselves what do we want to achieve, who are we and were are we heading.

The term has recently been added to the latest addition of the Oxford English Dictionary.So much can change in one year, now the term "credit crunch" is referred to on a daily basis - regardless of our occupation - from
