Though the frequent subject of controversy, numerous experts use and promote conversational hypnosis and programs such as Underground Hypnosis as strong approaches. Often used to help treat mental, emotional, and physical ailments as well as a potent communication technique, this style of “mind control” affects an individual’s subconscious to generate the results you want. This could be something like watching a particular TV broadcast or doing something silly to working against depression and triumphing over addiction to smoking. And in the hands of someone who knows what they’re doing, there’s no real danger. Let’s turn our attention to the Underground Hypnosis system, together with comparable methods of black ops hypnosis, and look at the basics; induction into trance. The depth of trance induced is governed by many elements, chief among them personality, emotional status, as well as hypnotist’s ability. The least deep trance level occurs when they initially begin to slacken their minor muscles. They feel as if they wish to doze off. Many subjects experience difficulty keeping their eyes open. As the hypnotist deepens the trance state, the relaxation spreads bit by bit to the shoulders and digits. This often takes practically no time at all. You can lead subjects down to trance states deep enough that the sound heard is exclusively that coming from the hypnotist. The concept of hypnotic suggestion can be explored now. The trance can intensify even further to the point where the hypnotized person becomes able to forget certain recollections if asked. Beyond that lies hallucination and similar altered perceptions; you can eventually achieve a state comparable to that found via anesthesia. When anesthesia seems, for whatever reason, inappropriate, hypnosis has very often been utilized as an alternative. Naturally, you won’t need to take anyone that far, and Underground Hypnosis is easily sufficient for the more effective strata. As it happens, when influence is all you’re after, you can stick with the less intense degrees of trance state.
Time now to remind you that this power is open to anyone registering for underground hypnosis. Would this take long, you wonder? Almost no time - a little research, some time to refine the tips you’ve just learned, and in no time at all you’ll have an astounding new skill. Why worry? No reason to panic at all.

At lunch the other day, a good friend said he thought he was depressed. His aunt had died recently and he had lost an important contact at work. I commented that while he might be depressed, it might also be that he was simply feeling appropriate sadness over some disappointing losses.
What this conversation reminded me of is how our culture can take a psychological term such as depression and apply it to almost any and all situations, thus losing the real meaning.
Let’s take a look at three distinct emotional states commonly lumped together as depression. We will look at characteristics of each and what you can do about them.
The blues
“And I guess that’s why they call it the blues…” - Elton John
The blues are simply a temporary feeling of sadness. Often, they cannot be linked to any particular event or situation.
Characteristics can include a mild feeling of restlessness; a temporary loss of energy and a sort of mopiness.
The blues make you want to curl up on the couch with a good book, or maybe channel surf. You just want to escape.
The blues usually pass rather quickly, and the trick is to just keep on going. Having the blues usually doesn’t indicate a problem.
Sadness
“Sad eyes, turn the other way.” - Robert John
Sadness, on the other hand, can usually be linked with events or situations. Sadness is a very normal and natural emotional state. Often times, a feeling of sadness is a normal response to the disappointments of life.
In the example of my friend who was afraid he was depressed, it would be normal for him to feel sad over his recent losses and disappointments.
What seems to happen to many people is that, instead of one or two disappointing events occurring far apart, many things happen all at once. There is a “pile-up” of disappointments and losses, resulting in a feeling of being overwhelmed.
Typically, when you add up all the recent painful events in a person’s life, the question changes from “how could I be feeling this way?” to “how could I not be feeling this way?”
While sadness is a normal human emotion, our culture does not make many allowances for it. We have been taught either to find a quick fix or to fight the feeling.
But with sadness, as with many emotions, the more you resist, the more it persists.
My suggestions for dealing with sadness include simply feeling what you feel and allowing it to run its course; taking a few
days to relax, talking with friends and family, and perhaps talking things over with a counselor.
Depression
“Stayed in bed all mornin’ just to pass the time.”- Carole King
True depression can come in many forms. Clinical depression, post-partum depression and bi-polar disorder are all treatable forms of depression.
Characteristics can include the following:
• sleeping more, or less
• eating more, or less
• loss of energy
• loss of interest in hobbies, etc.
• mood swings
• feelings of helplessness or hopelessness
• thoughts of suicide
Any of the true forms of clinical depression call for a combination of psychotherapy and antidepressant medication.
Check with your physician and a therapist familiar with treating depression.
Whether it’s the blues; sadness or clinical depression, we all go through low times in life.
The smartest and strongest folks are the ones who know how and when to ask for help and then make sure they get it.

Did you know that by making some modifications to your diet, you could alleviate many symptoms related to anxiety, panic and depression? Take a look at some simple ways to use your diet to improve your mental health today.
The B Vitamin Group
This group of vitamins can contribute significantly to your overall mental and physical health. Specifically, the following vitamins from the B group can help:
Niacin (B3) - Niacin is a very important vitamin for energy production. Two unique forms of vitamin B3 are required for the body to convert proteins, fats, and carbohydrates into usable energy. Niacin is also used to synthesize starch that can be stored in the body’s muscles and liver for eventual use as an energy source. Deficiencies in vitamin B3 are thought to be linked to depression and anxiety, as B3 helps to support the neurotransmission system of the brain. For this same reason, adequate levels of Niacin are also thought to help prevent Alzheimer’s disease.
Foods rich in Niacin include chicken, tuna, salmon and mushrooms.
Thiamin (B1) - Thiamin rich foods help your body by providing energy, coordinating the activity of nerves and muscles and supporting proper heart function. Low levels of thiamin in the body can cause restless nerves and irritability, like that seen by patients suffering from panic and anxiety disorders. While it is not believed that a lack of thiamin actually causes these disorders, recommended levels of thiamin in the body can help improve how a person with panic or anxiety disorder feels.
Foods rich in thiamin include tuna, sunflower seeds, black beans, and yellow corn.
Vitamin B6 - B6 is one of the best vitamins for supporting the nervous system, so it can help support the body in warding off all sorts of feelings like sadness, depression, anxiety and panic. It is also helpful in the breakdown of sugars and starches in the blood, supporting proper insulin function, which helps provide energy and prevent fatigue.
Foods rich in Vitamin B6 include bell peppers, spinach, bananas and tuna.
Vitamin B12 - Vitamin B12 is a critical nutrient in supporting the production of red blood cells, preventing anemia. In addition, it promotes proper development of nerve cells and helps your cells metabolize protein, carbohydrate and fat. Clinical depression and memory loss can sometimes be linked to a Vitamin B12 deficiency. In addition, heart palpitations and fatigue, just as often seen in anxiety patients, are side effects of being deficient in B12.
Foods rich in B12 include baked snapper, venison, scallops and yogurt.
In addition to these B vitamins, it is recommended that you ensure that your levels of Biotin, Folic Acid, Riboflavin, and Pantothenic acid, all B vitamin derivatives, is adequate, to support overall physical and mental health.
Foods such as Calf’s liver, beans and sunflower seeds are all good choices to provide a wide variety of B vitamins.
Is that All You Can Do?
Making sure you eat all these foods rich in the B vitamins is not all you can do. There are two important natural substances found in certain foods that can help you boost your mood while relaxing your nerves and muscles - inducing a peaceful sleep. Visit the following site to learn about these key foods you don’t want to miss and start feeling better today, http://www.feelyourselfagain.com/foods_that_help_anxiety_panic.html

Warning! Relationship patterns from your past can influence your relationships at work now without your knowledge or consent.
“I’m so angry about my schedule that I’m ready to quit this job, too! I don’t understand why this keeps happening to me. It’s the third time in four years. I’m getting worried about how unstable I’ll look on my resume.” Elizabeth was fuming.
A negative situation that happens over and over again frequently is like a red flag to me. As a relationship coach, I’m curious. Elizabeth seems like a competent professional. What is really going on here?
Laurie: “Have you discussed this problem with your supervisor?”
Elizabeth: “Of course. I told her what I want, but she never listens to me.”
Laurie (suspicious): “How did you tell her?”
Elizabeth: “I turned in my written schedule request on the standard form, just like everyone else does.
Laurie: “How many forms does your supervisor get every week?
Elizabeth: “I guess there are about fifteen other employees.”
Laurie: “Elizabeth, what do you think would happen if you spoke directly to your supervisor about how unhappy you are?”
Elizabeth (with great conviction): “I couldn’t do that; she would get angry at me!”
I am really curious now. How does she know her supervisor would get angry with her? Is there evidence that her supervisor acts inappropriately? On a hunch, knowing that present problem perceptions often are rooted in the past, I ask a seemingly off-track question.
Laurie: “Did someone else get angry at you for talking about how you feel?”
Elizabeth: “My mother used to get furious with me when I wanted to do ordinary teenage things like go out with my friends. She expected me to babysit the younger kids while she worked a swing shift. I moved in with my boyfriend when I was 17, just to get away from her.”
Laurie: “Elizabeth, how should your mother have treated you?”
Elizabeth: “I knew she had to work, I just wish she had listened instead of getting angry, and that once in a while she could have either stayed home herself or at least found another sitter.”
Now I had the information about where Elizabeth’s expectations had come from. I wondered if she really had a difficult supervisor.
Laurie: “Have you ever seen or heard about your supervisor being as unreasonable as your mother?”
Elizabeth (thinking): “Not really; I’ve never seen her lose her cool with anyone. She is usually pretty nice.”
Laurie: “Elizabeth, can you see any connections between the two situations?
Elizabeth: “I guess I’m expecting my supervisor to treat me the same way my mother did. I’m ready to run away again instead of risking telling her what I want, face to face, and giving her a chance to change things. She just might rearrange things if I ask. I can at least give it a try.”
Elizabeth did take the risk of discussing the problem with her supervisor. She was immensely relieved to be actually listened to and heard. Her supervisor promised to review the situation and see what changes could be made.
Are you like Elizabeth? Do you respond to present problems with behavior that made sense in the past? Do you unconsciously expect a familiar negative response if you ask for what you really want or need?
Learning to communicate effectively at work is a common challenge. It does get easier when you recognize that your own history may be part of the problem that needs to be solved.

Most employees are confused when it comes to work place safety. A lot of times management appears to shift the blame rather than lead the pack. Here are a few tips to help you motivate your staff to insure a safer workplace.
1. Lead by example ! A simple statement but not so simple to carry out. If we want our employees to be enthusiastic and consistant about workplace safety we need to be the source of that enthusiasm. If they believe we are simply paying lip-service, or playing the old CYOA game they will either be resistant or only function under the same rules. Be genuinely enthusiastic about the safety of your people. Without them there will be no one to manage or lead. Most people do not practice in their personal lives what they try to display at work. So the first thing is to live your own personal life as you would want your employees to be at work. Think safe and live safe, and it will become who you are and how you feel to your peers and employees.
2. Incentive Programs ! Everything costs money you say? There are all kinds of incentive programs and most of them work to a certain extent. However if your employees truly feel your concern about their well being and that it is at least as much about them as it is about costs, paperwork or Workman’s Comp, the incentive for a safer workplace becomes ever-present. Think about it your the leader show them you care and reap the benifits.
Be supportive of your employees, if you demonstrate to them that their safety comes before production, profit, Etc. you will see increases in efficiency and profitability across the board !!

In a famous experiment, students were asked to take a lemon home and to get used to it. Three days later, they were able to single out “their” lemon from a pile of rather similar ones. They seemed to have bonded. Is this the true meaning of love, bonding, coupling? Do we simply get used to other human beings, pets, or objects?
Habit forming in humans is reflexive. We change ourselves and our environment in order to attain maximum comfort and well being. It is the effort that goes into these adaptive processes that forms a habit. The habit is intended to prevent us from constant experimenting and risk taking. The greater our well being, the better we function and the longer we survive.
Actually, when we get used to something or to someone - we get used to ourselves. In the object of the habit we see a part of our history, all the time and effort we had put into it. It is an encapsulated version of our acts, intentions, emotions and reactions. It is a mirror reflecting that part in us which formed the habit in the first place. Hence, the feeling of comfort: we really feel comfortable with our own selves through the agency of our habitual objects.
Because of this, we tend to confuse habits with identity. When asked WHO they are, most people resort to communicating their habits. They describe their work, their loved ones, their pets, their hobbies, or their material possessions. Yet, surely, all of these do not constitute identity! Removing them does not change it. They are habits and they make people comfortable and relaxed. But they are not part of one’s identity in the truest, deepest sense.
Still, it is this simple mechanism of deception that binds people together. A mother feels that her offspring are part of her identity because she is so used to them that her well being depends on their existence and availability. Thus, any threat to her children is perceived by her as a threat to her own Self. Her reaction is, therefore, strong and enduring and can be recurrently elicited.
The truth, of course, is that her children ARE a part of her identity in a superficial manner. Removing them will make her a different person, but only in the shallow, phenomenological sense of the word. Her deep-set, true identity will not change as a result. Children do die at times and the mother does go on living, essentially unchanged.
But what is this kernel of identity that I am referring to? This immutable entity which is who we are and what we are and which, ostensibly, is not influenced by the death of our loved ones? What can resist the breakdown of habits that die hard?
It is our personality. This elusive, loosely interconnected, interacting, pattern of reactions to our changing environment. Like the Brain, it is difficult to define or to capture. Like the Soul, many believe that it does not exist, that it is a fictitious convention.
Yet, we know that we do have a personality. We feel it, we experience it. It sometimes encourages us to do things - at other times, it prevents us from doing them. It can be supple or rigid, benign or malignant, open or closed. Its power lies in its looseness. It is able to combine, recombine and permute in hundreds of unforeseeable ways. It metamorphoses and the constancy of these changes is what gives us a sense of identity.
Actually, when the personality is rigid to the point of being unable to change in reaction to shifting circumstances - we say that it is disordered. One has a personality disorder when one’s habits substitute for one’s identity. Such a person identifies himself with his environment, taking behavioural, emotional, and cognitive cues exclusively from it. His inner world is, so to speak, vacated, his True Self merely an apparition.
Such a person is incapable of loving and of living. He is incapable of loving because to love another one must first love oneself. And, in the absence of a Self that is impossible. And, in the long-term, he is incapable of living because life is a struggle towards multiple goals, a striving, a drive at something. In other words: life is change. He who cannot change, cannot live.

It has long been suggested that “music soothes the savage beast.” But is this true? And if it is, does this have any implication where humans are concerned? The answer, apparently, is yes. To illustrate this, researchers point to the different physiological changes that take place within the human body in response to different sounds and noises. A loud noise that shatters the silence sets the human heart racing and stimulates a rush of adrenaline that prepares you for flight. In contrast a soft, soothing sound helps us to relax.
Music therapy has, in fact, been around for thousands of years. Nearly four thousand years ago the Hebrew Scriptures recorded that the boy who would later become King David was hired by his predecessor to play the harp to calm King Saul when he would go into a rage. Likewise, the use of music therapy is found in the writings of ancient civilizations such as Egypt, China, India, Greece and Rome.
More recently, scientists have been studying the effects of music therapy and have documented changes in respiratory rates, blood pressure, and pulse in response to musical stimuli. Likewise, researchers in the realm of music therapy have found that the use of music therapy can be effective in areas as diverse as IQ and recovery rates, pain management and weight loss.
Some object that this sounds too good to be true. How can music therapy change something like pain management? Researchers tell us that the reason music therapy works is based on how we hear. Sound is little more than vibrations in the air that are picked up by the inner ear and transferred to the brain which is a key component in your nervous system and controls the functions of the body and the brain responds to the stimuli that it is given.
In light of this, music therapy can and often is used in a wide variety of applications. One common application for music therapy is in working with autistic individuals because research has found that music can help autistic children to express themselves. Likewise, music therapy has been found to help individuals with physical disabilities to develop better motor skills.
With music therapy, individuals with high levels of anxiety can be helped to express suppressed emotions thereby discharging anger, or enabling the individual to express the joy they would not otherwise be able to express. Likewise, research has found that music therapy can help lower the anxiety levels of hospital patients who find themselves facing frightening prospects and in an unfamiliar environment. Furthermore, music therapy has been found to help medical professionals with pain management such that they have been able to reduce pain medication by as much as one half by helping to stimulate the production of the body’s own pain killers, called endorphins.
Music therapy can come is a wide variety of forms. In some cases it’s as simple as having the individual listen to particular music. In other cases music therapy requires a more interactive approach, having the individual respond to the music either in dance or using some other form of expression. But in its many forms, music therapy has often been found to be beneficial.

Are you a teen-ager contemplating suicide or the parent of one? The following case study may help you solve your problem.
When I met Jill, she was sixteen years old and in counseling for four years. When she was twelve years old when she tried to commit suicide by taking an overdose of pills. The teen-ager was taking medication for depression and mood swings, and attending a small private school to help her cope more easily with life. Besides all these helpful measures, Jill was still getting upset easily and over-reacting to situations. She was also often missing school for psychosomatic illnesses (caused by emotions).
Jill was living with her mother, step-father and step brother. She had an older sister and brother who lived outside of the home. Her mother, Kate, a forty-four year old woman, was unhappy in her second marriage. When she called me for counseling, she was very concerned about her daughter because she was talking about suicide again.
During our first session, I asked Jill to complete the sentence, “I want to commit suicide because…” Jill responded, “I want to commit suicide because I feel trapped. I can’t be myself. I have to take care of my mother.” Then I continued, “Jill if you could be free to live your own life, would you want to live? “Yes,” she replied.
In the course of counseling numerous teen-agers, I had noticed this as a common feeling for the last child in the house with parents who are in pain. It is interesting that no one tells the child directly to rescue their parent but they unconsciously feel obligated. I have also found that the mother gives unconscious messages to the child not to grow up because then she will have to face her personal unhappiness and marital relationship, and let go of her role of “Mother” which has been her identity for most of her adult life.
To assist Jill, I helped her visualize and cut the obsolete “umbilical cords” that were unconsciously connecting her to her mother. I also used some therapeutic processes to help her raise her self-esteem. At the end of the session, I asked Kate to come back into the office and encouraged Jill to share her new awareness with her mother.
In other sessions, I worked with Kate alone to help her cut the “umbilical cords” that she had unconsciously connected to her youngest daughter, face her unhappy relationship and build her own self-esteem. *
Getting to the core of the problem quickly resulted in immediate changes. With higher self-esteem, both Jill and Kate started to dress nicer and looked more attractive and happier. They also encouraged each other to be separate, independent people, and responsible for their own lives.
Jill soon had less psychosomatic illnesses and upsets and was able to quickly calm down if she did overact. She was no longer talking about suicide and proudly told me, “I don’t need my medication anymore.” Two factors that helped Jill improve so quickly were that Kate was attending a church that taught positive thinking and she was willing to work on her own growth.
If you are the teen-ager contemplating suicide, you can show this article to your parents and ask them to help you to solve the problems. Or if you are the parent of a child thinking about suicide, it could be very helpful to explore the above issues and resolve them with a professional counselor.
