You will start to feel sleepy…

I believe insomnia is on the increase. This study indicates more and more women are turning to sleeping pills.  More and more clients I see at my Cornwall hypnotherapy practice have a problem sleeping whether they have come to see me specifically for insomnia or not.  We are living life at such a pace our [...]

Engaging with life fully

The season of Advent has begun…yes it means Christmas is getting closer which for many is a time when the stress levels increase. Although advent calendars begin on 1st December the season of Advent actually begins four Sundays before Christmas.  For the church calendar Advent is all about expectation, looking forward to what is coming, [...]

Mind tricks

Judge ye not!

I love this quote: “Judging your own faults or the faults of others leads to unhappiness. A mind that dwells in non-judgment is a contented mind.” Pg 118 The Missing Link by Sydney Banks

Too stressed to sharpen your axe?

A recent news story in the Telegraph explained how one in three workers are too stressed to take a lunch break citing that they have too much to do to take a break.   Almost a third of workers say they are unlikely to take a lunch break.  I can relate to that working in FTSE [...]

Mind relaxation

It’s funny how many recent clients have talked about having a ‘racing mind’.  They find they cannot switch off.  Their head hits the pillow and then they starting thinking about things from the day, solving problems, re-designing the cornflake!  I know what it can be like, I am a thinker and can relate to this.
