What
is the Clinton Method of Hypnotic
Induction?
The
Guided Meditation Trance Sessions have been
compiled using highly advanced hypnotic tecniques,
producing effects such as trance state, meditating
states, and powerful deep hypnosis.
The
Shamanic Rythms
Produced using a 22" shaman rosewood drum. The
cycles are produced using 4.5 beats per second
(theta) this is the typical traditional rythm
used for centuries to transport the shaman
healers into deeper realms of conciousness, and
excellent for alternative hypnotherapy.
The
Hypnotic Induction
Techniques have been blended into the voice
using a progressive journey script, nature sound
effects, hypnotic music, and tones. Including
the powerful hypnotic methods such as
Overloading, Reinduction, Ericksonian, Mental
Confusion, Mental Misdirectioning, Indirect
Suggestions, Multiple Sensorial Stimulation,
Anchoring, Subliminal Hypnosis, and many more
powerful methods.
The
Binaural Beats
Blended into the sounds of the ocean waves,
running streams, wind, and bird sounds. The
brain waves are generated using a 346 Hz sine
wave, played into the right ear and a 339 Hz
one, into the left ear, the brain is entrained
towards the beat frequency (7 Hz, in the theta
range) in mp3.
The
sensation of binaural beats originates in the
superior olivary nucleus, a part of the brain
stem.
They
appear to be related to the brain's ability to
locate the sources of sounds in three dimensions
and to track moving sounds, which also involves
inferior colliculus neurons.
The Isochronic
Pulses work in a similar way but using a
difference of two beats, designed to produce
Theta Brain Waves.

Abstract
Aims Psychosocial
stress is a risk factor for coronary heart disease (CHD),
although the mechanisms are incompletely understood. We
examined the cross-sectional association between the
cortisol response to laboratory-induced mental stress and a
marker of sub-clinical coronary atherosclerosis.
Methods and
results
Participants were 514
healthy men and women (mean age = 62.9 ± 5.7 years),
without history or objective signs of CHD, drawn from the
Whitehall II epidemiological cohort. Salivary cortisol was
measured in response to mental stressors, consisting of a 5
min Stroop task and a 5 min mirror tracing task. Coronary
artery calcification (CAC) was measured using electron beam
computed tomography. Approximately 40% of the sample
responded to the stress tasks with a notable (?1 nmol/L)
increase in cortisol. Significant CAC (Agatston score ? 100)
was recorded in 23.9% of the sample. The cortisol response
group demonstrated a higher risk of significant CAC (odds
ratio = 2.20, 95% CI, 1.393.47) after adjustments for
age, gender, baseline cortisol, employment grade, and
conventional risk factors, although cortisol was unrelated
to the presence of detectable CAC. Among participants with
detectable CAC, the cortisol response group also
demonstrated higher log Agatston scores compared with
non-responders (age and sex adjusted scores; 4.51 ±
0.15 vs. 3.94 ± 0.13, P = 0.004).
Conclusion
In healthy, older
participants without history or objective signs of CHD,
heightened cortisol reactivity is associated with a greater
extent of CAC. These data support the notion that heightened
hypothalamic pituitary adrenal activity is a risk factor for
CHD.
Stress
Stress
is a normal reaction, and helps a person to deal with a
tense situation. In general, it helps us to cope with
each situation. When stress becomes excessive, and
irrational it becomes a disabling disorder, which can be
greatly helped with self hypnosis, and relaxation
therapy.
Stress
can cause a strong feeling of nervousness, apprehension,
fear, or worry. Some fears and worries are justified,
such as worry about your children, or anticipation of
taking a test, or an exam. Stress interferes with the
persons ability to sleep, can cause panic attacks, and
numerous other physical symptoms.
Stress
may occur without a cause, or it may occur based on a
real situation but exagerated. Severe stress can be very
serious and interfere with daily life. After a heart
operation or after discovering that you have a high risk
of heart disorders it is very important to control your
stress levels and relaxation. These six Cds have been
designed to help heart patients reach a deep state of
relaxation.
The
hypnosis relaxing mp3 sessions will help you to remain
totally relaxed and tranquil and learn how to react to
stressful situations in a calm correct manner. You will
soon be able to confront problems with a more organized
and relaxing manner with a calm but responsible attitude.
Simple key anchor words are all you need to reach back
into a deep relaxing state in seconds where you can see
each problem without worrying and calmly find the
solutions. You will soon begin to see the real importance
of each stressful situation without any exageration.
Hypnosis can help you by planting new messages deep into
your subconscious mind so that many of your relaxing
states will appear automatically.
Stress
Symptoms
Here
is a list of some symptoms of stress:
Shortness
of breath
Dizziness
Trembling
or shaking
Nausea
or stomach distress
Fear
of losing control or going crazy
Hot
or cold flashes
Palpitations
or pounding heart
Chest
pain or discomfort
A
key symptom of chronic stress is anxiety that is
persistent over a long time (longer than 6 months) and
widespread on a wide range of events or activities
(such as work or school performance), not being
restricted to a particular situation in phobias or
appeared only in the form of crisis, as in the case of
panic disorder. The state of almost permanent anxiety,
fluctuating slightly during the day and affecting the
quality of sleep.
Stress
can also make us feel:
Nervousness,
restlessness or impatience
Fatigue
(tiredness)
Difficulty
concentrating or making the mind blank
Irritability
Muscle
tension, tremor, headache (headache), a movement of
the legs and inability to relax
Sleep
disorders: difficulty in reconciling or maintaining
sleep.
Sweating,
palpitations or tachycardia, gastrointestinal
problems, dry mouth, dizziness, hyperventilation
(increase in the number of breaths per minute)
Stress,
worry or physical symptoms of stress can cause
significant discomfort or a deterioration of heart
problems
"I
always thought I was apprehensive. I felt restless and
could not rest. Sometimes these feelings came and went.
Other times were constant. They could last for days. I
was worried I was going for dinner to prepare for the
party or what would be a great gift for someone. Just
could not leave anything behind. It was this tension that
I experienced that at times felt like clinging to a power
cord. A horrible feeling. There were stress times when
waking in the morning or in the middle of the night,
sweating and shivering. I work hard to concentrate even
while reading the newspaper or a book. Sometimes I felt a
bit dizzy. My heart beat pulsed faster or hit me in the
chest. This worried me even more.
