For a long time very few people really took the idea of self hypnosis very seriously, although meditation and relaxation were always popular. But as more people have come to realise that self hypnosis is simply a form of deep relaxation, self hypnosis downloads have rocketed.

Just as you may well have gone out to purchase a deep relaxation CD in the past, ideal for unwinding at the end of a stressful day, today you can choose from a range of self hypnosis MP3s, download them immediately, and then either play them through your hi-fi, transfer them onto your MP3 player, and listen to them wherever, and whenever it suits you.

Guided mediation downloads and self hypnosis downloads are now becoming available for a number of purposes, offering benefits as diverse as simply alleviating stress, depression and anxiety through meditation and relaxation to helping stick to a diet, quit smoking or even sleep better.

There are self hypnosis MP3s aimed at helping to improve memory, improve concentration and improve confidence, and a deep relaxation CD is the best way to relax before a stressful experience such as taking a flight, attending an interview or preparing for an exam.

For some people the words that worry them are ’self hypnosis’, and there are even some people who worry about things such as whether they’ll be able to wake up afterwards, and what the long term effects might be. It’s important to understand that not only is hypnosis a very real phenomenon, it’s a very natural one, and in fact self hypnosis is so normal that all of us experience it every day.

If you’ve ever been sitting at work, at home or on the bus (even driving!) and begun to daydream, eventually ‘coming to’ suddenly as you become conscious of your surroundings again, then that was a form of self hypnosis. You were fully awake, completely conscious and able to wake up whenever you liked. The fact is that you feel so relaxed and happy, you didn’t want to.

Self hypnosis downloads are the perfect way to help make a real difference to your life, whatever it is you need that little extra help with. Self hypnosis MP3s are now the single most convenient and affordable way to achieve the things you want to.

Geopathic stress is natural radiation from the Earth that comes to the surface, but is altered along the way by electromagnetic fields caused by underground water, collections of certain minerals or fault lines. This radiation can be responsible for conditions ranging from infertility, cancer, migraines, joint pain, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome and insomnia. The World Health Organisation also recognises Sick Building Syndrome is a result of geopathic stress.

Practitioners are available that can rid buildings of this radiation, or alter the building or its contents in such a way that the radiation is longer an issue. One such method is ‘dowsing’. In dowsing, a dowser uses tools and intuition to seek something (for example a water source, in ‘water dowsing’) – in this instance, the unconscious mind seeks the radiation that is infiltrating a building or room. Once the streams of radiation are found, methods are used to rid the radiation or move it, or alter the room or building so that the geopathic stress is no longer an issue. For example, if someone is suffering from insomnia, a dowser locates any geopathic stress and may find that the bed is lying on a geopathic stress line. By simply moving the bed, the sufferer will find they not only sleep better, but they have increased energy levels and become headache free. Another method that can be used in healing sick buildings utilises channelled energy to eliminate the negative energy (this can also be used on a person). This is known as ‘vortex healing’.

Another healing method is the ‘Alexander Technique‘. This is used to treat people, usually suffering from physical pain and/or stress caused by poor posture. By gaining awareness of how we stand, walk, sit and move in general, we can prevent issues that may arise as a result of poor habits, such as slouching. With this technique, the patient is taught to ‘treat themselves’ by monitoring their posture with a view to curing and preventing problems caused by it. It has been said that after learning how to use this method, patients not only find their pains have decreased (or disappeared), their overall posture is improved and they find more energy and suppleness. This then extrapolates to all areas of their lives.

These healing properties – the Alexander Technique, dowsing and vortex healing – can all work together to help heal sick minds, bodies and buildings. In the fast-paced world we live in today, we need all the help we can get!

Steps2Rehab aim to provide the best private alcohol rehab and drug rehab treatment options available, whatever the individual’s circumstances. They offer free, impartial advice that gets the right help for each person and sets them on the road to a full and healthy recovery.

In-patient alcohol rehabilitation and drug rehabilitation are generally accepted to be the most effective ways to overcome drug addictions and alcohol dependency. A residential alcohol and drug rehab can offer everything needed to get lives back on track, including detox, therapy, life skills, accommodation, catering and complementary therapies. Different rehabilitation clinics offer a variety of treatment programmes that are individually tailored to ensure patients get the best possible treatment for their personal circumstances.

Detoxification (or detox) is primarily the first step towards recovery. As part of a continuing therapy, the alcohol detox and drugs detox process works effectively to remove the substance painlessly from the system in a medically monitored environment. However, undertaken in an unsupervised environment, an alcohol detox and drug detox can also be very dangerous.

Alcohol detox and drug detox alone is unlikely to result in long-term recovery. This is because important psychological work must be completed to help the individual understand their drug addiction or alcohol abuse issues and develop strategies to avoid future relapse. Whilst detox is vital for many individuals, it is not always a necessary step in order to maintain a long-term recovery. In-patient rehab is the crucial element in the overall drug treatment and alcohol treatment process. Steps2Rehab can help by offering free advice and facts about a variety of drug rehab and alcohol rehab clinics both in the UK and overseas, ensuring that the most appropriate route to recovery is chosen.

Pole performance is one of the only forms of exercise which uses every muscle group during a work-out. When done properly it increases strength, flexibility, muscle tone and overall fitness whilst the dance aspect improves self confidence and poise.

The Alturnative Studio in Lincoln run pole dancing lessons for fitness and fun as well as group parties at their studio in Lincoln City Centre. We cater for all age groups.

Aren’t Pole Classes only for 18 year old female dancers?!

The weekly pole classes are attended by a wide variety of students. The age range in our current classes is from 16 to 56 with the average student being in their mid to late 20’s. They come from all walks of life including professionals, students, mothers and new mothers, they all want to work out in a supportive environment which aims to raise their confidence as well as increase their fitness. Anyone is welcome to join in the courses, big or small, old or young it makes no difference and as I’ve learnt from experience in the industry, attraction and sexiness are not based on looks alone.

The classes run in the Lincoln studio on Monday, Tuesday and Wednesday evenings with a maximum of 10 students per class. The studio is also available for private lessons and private hire at other times as well as party bookings on weekends.

Our Lincoln Pole Dancing Classes are held in the new The Alturnative Studio which is located within The Terrace just behind the Theatre Royal Lincoln. The new studio is gradually being improved but allows us access 24/7

The Clifton Clinic

Why are we different?

Well, we are different because we offer clients the unique opportunity to recover from life-destroying addiction in a private and confidential environment with highly-qualified, compassionate staff. At The Clifton Clinic you have your own space and you will be given a bespoke treatment programme matched to your specific needs – you will not be treated like just another member of a group.

At The Clifton Clinic we facilitate internal change enabling the client to respond more appropriately to their circumstances. Our clients are constantly supervised and supported whilst given the opportunity to deal with life and the challenges it brings. For instance, they have to shop for and cook some of their own meals. Our research has shown that if clients can learn to do this effectively whilst in treatment they have a much higher chance of maintaining their sobriety when they leave treatment.

If you believe that you, or one of your loved ones, has a problem with alcohol or drug addiction then The Clifton Clinic has the solution and you should be talking to us.

If you’re not really sure about whether you have a problem you might like to read our article – “Am I an Alcoholic or Addict?” for further information.

Medical Writing

Anybody with a love for science and the skills to place complex data into words are able to enter the world of medical communication and become a Medical Writer. The key to impressive medical writing is to pen the information from a diversity of selective information to versatile audiences. For instance, if a drug has completed its last set of tests and is being produced for selling; then a range of literature needs to be brought out for a variety of people including doctors, chemists, nurses, patients and bodies such as the Food and Drug Administration (FDA).

Often but not always, PhD. graduates have high logical acquisitions that they can put to paper. Nevertheless, minimal qualification will be an academic degree in a bioscience discipline and potentially seconded by a higher degree such as an MSc. The best way to get into this industry is to join a Clinical Research organization (CRO) that will coach you in Regulatory Medical Writing after which you can become a prominent member and work independently and even lead your own squad of scientific writers. Then there is a possibility of becoming a freelance medical writer where you can utilize your contacts within the pharmaceutical companies to obtain contracts.

Some of the many works created by medical writers include;

Findings of clinical research, Documentation and findings of research for regulatory bodies, Drug marketing literature and brochures, Statement of Process (SOPs), Analysis of statistical data, Scientific research publications, Abstracts for submission to journals/conferences, Advertisement and marketing for products, Web content writing, Educational materials, Posters for presentation, Brochures, Protocols, Case reports, Reviews, Editing and proof reading prewritten materials, Press releases, Newsletters, Magazine articles, Policy statement etc.
