How
does Sports Hypnosis work?
Human brainwaves are divided into four levels
of activity often referred to as cycle-per-second
activity. These are named:
Beta:
Your normal consciousness.
Alpha: Falling asleep/awaking/dream
state.
Theta:Deeper Sleep.
Delta: Full sleep to deepest sleep.
Alpha, Theta and Delta are all considered
altered states of consciousness or various
levels of trance/hypnosis. When you enter
an altered state your brainwaves alter, hypnosis
has the effect of slowing the brainwaves and
giving us access to the unconscious mind where
our behaviours are based.
Because of the heightened suggestibility
levels in the alpha and theta levels, positive
programming is extremely
effective.

What
is the technology behind Steve's CD's?
Neuro-Linguistic
Programming (NLP);
A set of tools that which takes hypnosis to
an even greater level of effectiveness and
enables one to organise information and perceptions
in ways that allow them to achieve results
that were once inconceivable. Based on the
perception that all behaviour has a structure
and that structure can be re-programmed.
One
of the reasons why it can be so
easy to
make changes
with NLP, is
that the pleasure derived from the unwanted
habit can be transferred to a desirable or
perhaps more healthy
habit of
your choice (e.g.
drinking more water or relaxation).
How
can Hypnotherapy help you?
Hypnotherapy can help
one to 'stop doing something they do not wish
to do', or to 'start doing something one does
wish to do'.
Analytical
Hypnotherapy;
Often used for those
people who feel they have behaviours or thoughts
that are 'in side themselves' but
'outside of their control'.

The
structure of Steve's CD's
Each
sports hypnosis recording begins by
relaxing your body one part at a time whilst
leaving your mind awake and alert. This cuts
out negative self-talk and aids in releasing
'happy hormones' from the
brain thus increasing ones sense of well being.
Stage two concentrates upon removing
mental barriers to development which
are often the reason behind long and short
term 'sticking points'. These trapped mental
barriers prevent the adult from developing
performance and even to build particular muscle
groups. If for example, you still consider
yourself partly child like in some attitudes
perhaps your unconscious mind is 'clinging'
onto a under developed Chest of child like
proportions!
The
third stage of these recordings
involve direct in-trance Visualisation (which
can aid in the release of Testosterone in
the body) focusing the minds energies towards
building the physical and mental attitudes
that you desire. Through unconscious visualisation
every cell of the body is communicated
too, showing your mind and body how you wish
to look and feel once your goals have been
achieved. You clearly see and thus
become the person you wish to be.
The final stage of these recordings saturates
your mind with positive hypnotic commands
which direct specific
mind and body areas to develop.
This
stage can be used on it's own during training
sessions to focus the mind on the job at hand
and to intensify workouts.
