Timeless hypnotherapy

Timeless designs are really wonderful things. However incongruous the surroundings may be, a timeless piece of furniture can exist perpetually, throughout the ages, and look even  better as decades glide by. A timeless watch can look utterly magnificent and can therefore be worn over many generations.But as the word ‘timeless’ might suggest, how about a watch which really does stop in time? Or, how about leaving your watch at home altogether?

I always have to be somewhere on time, and I actually quite like it. I get up on time, I go to work on time.  And I do my best to leave on time. (Even though on some days, it’s not always possible!)  In actual fact, I think I am getting to know the time so well these days, I only have to look at the sky and work out where the sun is! (Although admittedly,  in London, I do struggle to find the sun most days!)

I think the only time, when I didn’t think about the time, was the time I was a child and my only concept of time was when I was travelling in the car (several times!) with my parents.  I would cry: "Mum! Dad! Are we nearly there yet?" A familiar phase with you, I am sure. But do you remember how wonderfully free you felt as a child?  The great thing about children is that they throw themselves into whatever they do, losing hours in painting or studying insects in a patch of grass. Having no responsibilities means that children have the space in their minds to let their imagination really bloom. It’s only over time, as adults, we realise that time is money and money is time.

But is it really?

We spend time in different ways, in non-monetary pursuits, like spending time with family and friends. But equally, we spend our time working for the physical and also emotional requirements of our existence. So time isn’t really just money – it is about enjoying precious moments with loved ones and also time alone.

Have you ever thought about an event in the future, only when you actually get there, you start thinking about another future event which hasn't even happened yet? The concept of time has its way of slipping into our daily routines, sometimes without us even realising it, which means our grasp of enjoying the present moment almost slips through our fingers.

If you are having trouble with past issues, or you worry about the future, hypnotherapy can actually rebalance the thoughts in the deepest part of your mind so you can start to enjoy the precious and wonderful moments every single day has to offer. And  going back to my 'timeless watch' analogy: perhaps in some situations, it's best to leave that watch at home after all.

Self love

Your subconscious mind does not differentiate between how you perceive yourself, and how you perceive  others. For example, your judgement which may go along the lines that "you are good" and that "the person out there is bad" is simply that "if you were to do what the other person is doing, you'd consider yourself bad." Another example of this would be if you are upset with another person your subconscious mind registers this upset as if it were "with yourself" and activates the release of appropriate poisonous chemicals into your own bloodstream. Ultimately thinking lovely and beautiful thoughts for others has nothing to do with wanting to act saintly, it has everything to do with "self-love" and taking care of yourself.
