I talk a lot to my clients here at Kent Therapy Clinic about the virtues of being mindful. Mindfulness is an easy technique to learn, but one which is incredibly powerful! Can you remember the last time you actually took time out for yourself just to be present in the moment? I remember once, while going through a bad time, I drove to the beach. I got out of the car and I sat on a wall and spent an hour looking out to the sea. It helped me to think. No noise, no distractions, just being alone with time to think is incredibly powerful. It made me feel very small in this huge and very beautiful world. It was quite awe inspiring looking out to that mass of water and hearing the noise of the waves crashing on the shore. For that few moments, nothing mattered and all of my problems seemed so far away. The other thing was, it helped me to come back afresh with a clearer perspective. I could come to my problem with a fresh sense of proportion. I also began to recognise the reasons why I felt stressed and the ways in which I could sort that out. So the next time you feel stressed, don't make excuses as to why you can't get away; even if you only go into a garden, or take a walk down your street, find somewhere to just be alone and look around you and notice some of the things that get lost in the noise of life. The sound of the wind or the birds in the trees, the colour of the house that you've never noticed or the way the grass looks as the sun glints off of it. Be mindful. If you'd like to learn how to become more mindful yourself, and fancy a session or two of hypnosis, then look me up :) www.kenttherapyclinic.co.uk Becoming a hypnotherapist is such a rewarding thing to do! Fancy training for a new fascinating skill, perhaps even turning that skill into a new career for yourself? One that can help change peoples lives for the better? One where people will believe that you are a mind reader with special powers? Then you may like to train as a clinical hypnotherapist. A rewarding and exciting career where you never stop learning, long after you have gained a professional qualification! Clinical hypnotherapy is different from stage hypnosis. The likes of Derren Brown and Paul McKenna are fabulous show men and fantastic hypnotists, but not many people realise that hypnotherapists can help with so many different issues! From helping people to quit smoking and overcoming fears and phobias, to relieving symptoms of panic and anxiety or improving IBS and pain management. Hypnotherapy really does deal with a multitude of ailments and psychological illnesses.
