Today is an opportunity for hypnotherapists to spread awareness about the treatments that they offer and many professionals across the U.K are offering complimentary or discounted therapy to those who have been considering treatment but have yet to take the plunge. For instance, Shires Hypnotherapy is a new certified practice based in the picturesque Herefordshire and they have chosen to launch today. To coincide with their launch they are debuting their Hypno Weightloss programme and are discounting consultations upon the mention of World Hypnotism Day.

Irish Hypnotherapist Martin Kiely is also taking part and is offering the first 20 people to sign up a free programme which aims to help you to stop your self limiting beliefs from getting in the way of your study and exam success. You can watch Martin Kiely’s video here.

With any luck today will help to debunk myths and misconceptions of hypnosis and will show people that it is an effective and natural alternative therapy that has proven successful in countless areas.

For events going on in your area please visit the World Hypnosis Day website.

Unfortunately, nerves often mean that we don’t give our best performance, but there are steps that can be taken to help relaxation before exams.

From GCSE students to those who at university studying medicine or law, all students could benefit from hypnotherapy. A hypnotherapist will help to get you to a point where you can relax and stop panicking about the forthcoming event. Learning how to do this will also help you to revise before the exam. A revision plan that incorporates relaxation time for you will aid this process and help you to concentrate outside of your relaxation period.

Many fears and phobias stem from lack of knowledge so it helps to familiarise yourself with the exam location and the time it takes to travel there. This will remove any element of the unknown and the worry you might not make it or don’t know where you are going. Imagining yourself arriving for the exam followed by a positive outcome will also help by removing any negativity surrounding the situation.

The way that hypnotherapy works is by accessing parts of the brain where our thoughts and emotions reside. When in a hypnotic state, the hypnotherapist can use positive suggestion and visualisation to give you confidence in facing a difficult exam and succeeding.
