This is a blog about the power of the human mind and body to transform itself. We are creating a community of people who are engaged in making changes -- changes to their health, changes to their self-confidence, changes to their career success -- all positive changes. Here you'll find information about hypnosis, nutrition, alternative health, and self-help in many forms. Enjoy!
We are so excited to change the way people think about Rheumatoid Arthritis. "Well . . . it's genetic," you might say. And you'd be right that people with certain genetic markers have the predisposition to develop rheumatism, but only when it's triggered by an emotional or environmental stress or trauma!
"But . . . once it's triggered . . . you've got symptoms for life, right?" you might say. And you'd be right that in the past people have gone into "symptom avoidance" mode -- they eat non-triggering foods, and avoid triggering situations, and take anti-inflammatory or analgesic medications -- but they never even thought of un-triggering the DNA, so that the body returns to its pre-rheumatoid-arthritis state of health!
"Can you do that?!" you might say. Yes.
We are not saying we get 100% remission100% of the time. And we're not saying our Move Free hypnosis download "cures" rheumatoid arthritis.
For one thing, you'll always have the genetic markers. Secondly, your body didn't just wake up one day and have rheumatoid arthritis - it developed over time, after the trigger happened. In that same way, you will experience fewer symptoms and less discomfort over time, as your body returns to healthy functioning.
What we are saying is that your satisfaction is 100% guaranteed, and we'd love to hear your stories of success -- have you used hypnosis to overcome rheumatoid arthritis? Were nutrition changes helpful too? What else works for you?
Umm . . . can we get real with each other for a second?
I've seen you . . . and it's obvious . . . you're getting in your own way. I can't say it any more clearly than that. It's actually, physically hurting me to watch you do this to yourself, because I know how great you are and what amazing things you can be accomplishing.
All the procrastination, and the perfectionism, and being super-late or super-early all the time - it's all self-sabotage, and I just can't watch it any more. You deserve so much more.
Also, I noticed that you're always beating yourself up about what you haven't done, and you never reward yourself when you do have a good day. Don't you think that's reinforcing all the stuff you don't want?
The harmful effects of smoking have been proven by both scientists and doctors alike. It is one of the major causes of cancer. But who would have thought that a drug that is championed for relieving the symptoms of withdrawal and cravings could prove to be responsible for people committing suicide. Recently here in Lancashire in the UK, a 39 year old man stabbed himself to death only two months after giving up smoking using Champix (also known as Chantix).
“A smoker stabbed himself to death only weeks after beginning a course of drugs to help him quit his 20-a-day habit. Omer Jama, 39, a television editor, had no history of mental illness. Omer was found dead at his home two months after he was prescribed Champix. The drug he had been taking for two months Champix has been linked to depression and reports of suicide.
The European Medicines Agency, the drug's licensers, issued guidance on Champix's active ingredient Varenicline to Doctors two months after Mr Jama's death. It said "updated warnings" were needed to increase awareness of cases of suicidal thoughts.”
So that begs the question wouldn’t you be much safer and healthier to find a natural method that is known and proven not to have side effects, while also having extremely high success rates?
Here are the facts on the prescription methods:
And these are only some of the benefits you receive when you quit:
20 minutes: Your blood pressure and pulse rate return to normal
8 hours: Oxygen levels in your blood return to normal.
24 hours: Carbon monoxide has been eliminated from your body. Your lungs start to clear out mucus and other smoking debris.
48 hours: There is no nicotine left in your body. Your ability to taste and smell is greatly improved.
72 hours: Breathing becomes easier. Your bronchial tubes begin to relax and your energy levels increase.
2-12 weeks: Circulation improves throughout the body, making walking and running a whole lot easier.
3-9 months: Coughs, wheezing and breathing problems get better as your lung function is increased by up to 10%.
5 years: Heart attack risk falls to about half that of a smoker.
10 years: Risk of lung cancer falls to half that of a smoker. The risk of a heart attack falls to same as someone who has never smoked.
What don’t you understand? Why wouldn’t anyone choose the natural way to quit? If you’d like to hear more, experience the benefits and see what all the fuss is about just click here:
Why do we know that our 8-step Freedom From Smoking program is the most effective hypnosis mp3 product available? Because it was developed by using the combined extensive knowledge and expertise of three specialists of smoking cessation, both in Beverly Hills, California and the UK.
Dr Elizabeth White of Cheshire, England collaborated with the DFC Team to bring you the most successful and cost effective way to quit smoking, by combining the already winning blend of NLP and Hypnotherapy coupled with all the very latest techniques, taking you step by step, all the way through to total smoke-free success! If you’ve ever wondered how that works then you only need to read through the facts and figures to be totally convinced that this product is the best on the market today, because it allays all the obvious fears and anxieties usually associated with stopping smoking, alongside the reassurances of knowing that the creators have already come across every possible combination of probable objections to confirm it’s hugely successful claims!
And we are so confident that you will achieve Freedom From Smoking that it even includes a 60-day money back guarantee! You can’t beat that, can you?
Do you still have doubts? Think about this for a moment… how will you feel in 5 years time if you continue to smoke, and now picture yourself in 10 years time, what will you look like then, how will you feel, how’s your health and how much will it have cost you by then? If you don’t like the thoughts and images that conjures up then the way forward is to choose Freedom From Smoking for yourself. Go now and read some of the facts here for yourself… Freedom From Smoking
What about proof? This is what people are saying about this great product.
“I chose Freedom From Smoking because I liked the idea of giving up smoking without cravings because I was so scared I would put weight on when I stopped smoking and I also hoped it would be much easier as it offered a stress free solution too.
Well, I’ve got to say that it was even better than I ever expected, as I stopped within two days easily even though I was scared to bits and haven’t looked back since! I had a couple of wobbles over the first couple of months but nothing compared to my previous attempts to stop smoking. A marvellous solution to a really difficult problem, I would highly recommend it to those that really want to stop permanently. I feel so much healthier already”. HB
Just remember it’s backed up by a money back guarantee so you really can’t lose anything - except the cigarettes! And now you have everything to gain, health, wealth and happiness, the three things you can’t usually buy, but you can now - by quitting smoking you will automatically and naturally gain so much more of all three. There’s no better way than to prove it to yourself, and all risk free, because YOU are already better and stronger than your old smoking habit!
There's a reason why we call Downloads for Change a "self-help website." It's because we believe the answers you need to reach your goals - to keep your promises to yourself - are inside you.
Can we help you "tap in" to those answers and resources? Sure.
Is it still up to you to make it happen? Absolutely.
In fact, if we're talking about a promise you made to yourself about something you'd accomplish before the end of this year, or this quarter, or this month, we'd say it's up to you to get in there and make it happen right now.
The biggest difference between the approach we offer to help you achieve greater success - that fantastic feeling of accomplishment and victory and fulfillment - and the approach that "success gurus" offer to people can be summed up with this phrase: why vs. how.
What do we mean? Well, just look at what the success gurus teach, and you'll see that they're trying to say they know "how to reach goals," and they want to teach people how to do it too.
We're far more interested in "why" you want something in your life (other than what you have now).
Why do you want to be something more (and is it really necessary that you be more in order to feel that fulfillment and success, or is that belief an illusion based on your current circumstances)?
Why have you chosen what you've chosen to create as you move forward? What higher benefit does it serve?
Processes that you'll find inside our "Yes, I Can!" hypnosis mp3 download program are designed to create a powerful connection between your daily actions and that part of you that knows the answers to these "why" questions. With that connection in place, the how becomes pointless.
It's already done. The connection you're making to your inner guidance is the very thing that gives you that fists-pumping-victory-dance-hallelujah-fulfillment feeling that carries you the rest of the way automatically.
So if you're looking for hypnosis for success and goal achievement . . . . ask yourself . . . . why do I want this now?
We absolutely love to hear your feedback! What are your thoughts on this subject?

Let's start with a quick story. One of the co-owners of Downloads For Change (Matthew) called the other one (Brennan, who was sitting in his office at the time) and said, "I think we should create a Law of Attraction Hypnosis program, and I've got some great materials already started for it."
"That sounds great!" says Brennan.
3 hours later, Brennan hears the office phone ring again. It's Heather Novak, a renowned Law of Attraction specialist and hypnotherapist. She says, "I've been getting your e-mails, and I really like what you're doing. I specialize in hypnosis to engage the Law of Attraction, and I'd love to collaborate on a hypnosis download series with you. Have you ever thought about a program that teaches people all about the Law of Allowing, the Law of Attraction, and the Law of Inspired Action?"
We're excited to announce that we've just completed this product and it is now available for you!

In preparation for the Labor Day weekend, here are some tips on how to do handle holidays, parties, and celebrations as a healthy, trim person through your lifetime.
ENJOY THE BBQ AND LOSE WEIGHT TOO!
Summertime is almost over.
And with the Labor Day weekend comes "one last-hurrah!" of barbecues, picnics, celebrations, and FOOD TEMPTATIONS. When you are trying to lose weight, control your blood sugar, cut back on saturated fats for heart health, this can create failure or the idea of deprivation. You find yourself saying, "I can't help myself" or "It looks so good."
So what are you to do? Shut yourself inside and become a recluse? Well, that IS an option, but not one that would make you very happy!
What you can do is make a commitment to do things differently from now on. Parties, cookouts, and social events are going to be a part of the rest of your life. It’s time to leave the "kid in a candy store" mentality behind. You can learn to enjoy parties without making your body pay the price.
Here are some tips for handling picnics/cookouts, parties, and other celebrations with greater ease (for your mind and body).
*The number one thing to do is to have a plan. Stop pretending you don’t know what your pattern is at parties. You’ve had that "ah-ha moment" after overindulging at a party far too many times to fool yourself again. Plan ahead and decide what your strategy is going to be for eating (and even drinking). Then, stick to it! This plan may not be 100% successful the first time, but don't let that be an excuse for giving up. Review your challenges, and resolve to do a little better each time based on what you learned previously.
* Don’t eat anything unless it’s on your plate and served all at once (that includes you fixing the plate). Snacking and nibbling makes it difficult for you to know how much you’ve eaten. By the time your stomach feels the stretch and sends the signal to the brain to turn off the appetite, you’ve already overeaten.
* Bring a healthy dish to share--something you thoroughly enjoy. This assures that you will have at least one thing you can eat that won’t sabotage your healthy eating efforts, and makes you look like a thoughtful guest. You might even find people asking you for the recipe!
* Never go to a social event hungry, unless you are planning to have a MEAL there. You’re just setting yourself up to overeat or eat junk food. Saving-calories-for-later doesn’t work well for SO many reasons. Have a balanced, healthy meal at home if there is going to be a lot of finger food and plan to just have a small dessert at the party.
* Drink water or Perrier (NOT soda water or flavored water) instead of alcohol or sugary soda’s, or at least have 1 or 2 glasses of water between alcoholic drinks. This will counteract the dehydrating effects of alcohol, reduce unnecessary calories/sugar, and prevent you from the uninhibited eating that often occurs when you're "buzzed."
* Curb your starchy carb intake. BBQ’s are often an overload of starches: bread/rolls/buns, potato & pasta salad, potato chips, baked beans, etc. Filling your plate with high-glycemic, low-nutrition carbs such as these will sabotage your best efforts at lifetime weight loss unless you learn to be smart about them. Either choose to have only one of them, along with a meat and some non-starchy vegetables, or a smaller serving of a few of them.
* Dodge or deflect people's well-intentioned urges for you to eat. If someone asks you if you tried "such & such" yet, you can say "Yes, and it was great" or "No, I'm full right now" or try, "Oh, I can't eat that; it gives me gas" (if you are the type of person who is comfortable delivering a line like that). People will continue to offer you food (sometimes even being insistent about it, which is usually based on their own insecurities), but continue to hold your ground and repeat the same phrase again.
(If you have a hard time with this, practice some phrases in the mirror until you get comfortable saying them and they will feel more natural when you need them. Otherwise, you can call me to do a private session recording for you to alleviate this difficulty).
* Focus on the fun, not the food. Unless the invitation said, "Come to a food-tasting party," there is some other reason for the event. Keep your focus on that. Use your mouth for talking not eating. Keep your hands occupied with a bottle or glass of water. Involve yourself in any activities available.
(Note: if you tend to eat because you are shy or nervous in social settings, there are many things you can do to learn to be more confident. I used to be shy, too. Hypnosis is one of several things that helped me to become the confident public speaker and leader I am today. If you would like to talk to me more about my transition from shy to outgoing, contact me via email or phone and I will be happy to discuss it with you.)
The most important thing to remember is that no one is perfect, and you don't have to master all these things all at once. Changing habits and forming new ones is a learning process. Strive for doing something different and better each time, and it will get easier and more natural. Success in weight loss--in any endeavor, in fact--is the result of doing a lot of little things right over time. There's no magic to it. It's really just common sense.
So, go enjoy your BBQ now, without paying for it later!

I've always found it was the little things that made the difference. Remembering to do my affirmations each day or just taking the time to express gratitude. That little change in attitude has always led to huge changes in my level of happiness.
Thanks!

I find that exercising always changes my mood. If I am feeling anxious or down, I just get my body moving and work up a sweat. By the time I'm done, my problems seem much more manageable. I guess it is the endorphins.

I have a Scorpio moon in my astrological chart and I've spent years working on FORGIVENESS. After a meditation I got the message to focus on the ending of a conflict and the positive aspects that came out of getting to the other side rather than focusing on being hurt in the first place. When I used to focus on the hurt, things never got better, I continued to hold on to that hurt. Now I focus on connection and gratitude and things in my life have improved greatly! Blessings to you for having these great tools available to people all over the world!

It came when I was in college, and made a real impression. (maybe I was just more impressionable then? :-) The advice was: any time you're worried or afraid or hurting or depressed, it means you're focusing on yourself. Immediately find a way to be of service and reach out to someone else, and you'll always rise above whatever was getting to you. And it is SO true.
Judy Takashi commented on 13-Sep-2009 03:32 PM
I HAVE to meditate everyday and focus on opening my heart. When I do that then I stay open and receptive to the world and opportunities. If I don't, then it is easier to fall into my old habits.
I love the other comments BTW. Especially the one about service. Thx!
Reggie D. commented on 13-Sep-2009 09:14 PM
Tony Robbins talks about making a decision. A real decision. I heard that almost 10 years ago now, and it still affects the way I run my company. We provide industrial paint finishes on metal products, and that company started because I stopped wishing I could do it, and just made a decision. A few months later, I had a business plan and a marketing plan and we had an investor show up who gave us the seed capital, and we were off and running. It's all about the decision.
Mike Owsley commented on 13-Sep-2009 10:28 PM
Believe in yourself. I don't know what else to say. If you believe in yourself then you can create anything. My grandma taught me that if I believed I could do anything and that belief has kept me going despite whatever stuff gets in the way. Oh yeah, and it's all small stuff. I love that.
Trisha Hickey commented on 14-Sep-2009 10:13 AM
Wow, i love the comments other people have made. i'm really into eating healthy and especially raw foods. they make me feel so energized and alive and i know i'm helping the planet too! you can lose weight and heal yourself of so many problems by eating raw. i have a friend who is successfully fighting cancer by going to a raw diet. we should all go raw and then we can heal the planet and ourselves. so many problems are caused by chemicals in our food and in the environment. go raw!
Frank Ruschmann commented on 14-Sep-2009 12:37 PM
Maybe a little cliche' but Marianne Williamson's poem called Our Deepest Fear had a profound impact on me. Ever since I read it the first time somepart of me knew it was true and couldn't hide anymore from the fact that we were all brought here to be beacons of light. The poem holds me accountabile in some weird way like its not OK for me to hide or be afraid anymore because that means I'm not shining bright. Its great.
Colleen Murphy commented on 15-Sep-2009 03:04 AM
I liked the comment about Marianne Williamson, and one of the things I liked about it is that the book they are talking about is over a decade old.
People seem to get carried away with the latest fads in personal development, when sometimes it's the tried and true stuff that really works.
For me, it's Dr. Wayne Dyer's "The Power of Intention." That book completely shifted my paradigm, and helped me see that I'm creating my experience. If I don't like what I'm seeing, it's pretty clear who's to blame, and who has the power to change it.
people have gone into "symptom avoidance" mode -- they eat non-triggering foods, and avoid triggering situations, and take anti-inflammatory or analgesic medications -- but they never even thought of un-triggering the DNA, so that the body returns to its pre-rheumatoid-arthritis state of health!
