As science and technology quickly evolve, the areas of medicine and health also benefit, and in this modern age, one would think that all medical doctors rely solely on practices that are clinically tested and proven. It is, however, undeniable that both patients and doctors are also turning to alternative treatments and therapies for various conditions. Some even go back to practices that were used in previous centuries. Certainly, there is a good reason for this: some of these practices are applicable even in the modern era.
Hypnotherapy is one practice that has been used since ancient times and is being used by some modern medical practitioners, as there is evidence that the practice works and benefits patients. In our modern society, people often suffer from conditions such as pain, unhealthy practices, and negative patterns of thinking. While traditional medical science can work to solve these conditions, hypnotherapy offers an alternative solution. This may involve changes in lifestyle – including creating a healthy diet, making behavioral changes, and altering belief systems. The bottom line is that hypnotherapy offers natural solutions, i.e., tapping into the power of the subconscious, instead of pumping one’s body with medication.
Hypnotherapy’s roots may lie in ancient practices, but it really does help a lot of people today. In fact, even in the most progressive cities, hypnotherapy is being practiced. For example, you might be surprised how easily you can find qualified NYC hypnotherapy practitioners.

Millions upon millions of Americans suffer from mood swings. A good number take prescription pills to deal with their situation, while others follow non-medication methods to deal with mood swings. Whichever the case may be, there is no ignoring the fact that mood swings are one of the most common psychological disorders in the country.
The term “mood swings” is often used too casually, in the sense that the normal changes of emotions that every human being experiences can be mislabeled as mood swings. Every person undergoes emotional surges, especially when external factors or triggers are present. [Read more…] about 5 Habits That Can Limit Your Mood Swings

In the past months, I’ve realized just how easy it is to fall into the usual pattern of thinking negative thoughts. It is even easier when life just doesn’t seem to give you a break, but keeps throwing you curveballs instead. Once you have gotten used to thinking that everything that can go wrong will go wrong and how horrible your life is, it is quite difficult to see things from a different perspective – a more positive perspective.
However, throughout history, many a great man has emphasized the power of positive thinking. Yes, it is easier said than done, as most things in life are, but it doesn’t mean that you cannot give yourself a push, a nudge, or a kick – whichever applies – in the right direction: positive thinking.

Lately, I have been battling depression more than usual. I know it is partly due to the extraordinary circumstances I am in right now, but it is also due to all those years of not facing my own issues. For many people who suffer from depression, the situation is usually the same.
Beating depression is not an easy thing. On good days, you get up and have hope that things will get better. On bad days, you feel like it’s a constant uphill climb.
Coming from one who is in the same boat as you may be, here are some quotes to beat depression. I’m not saying they’re going to beat depression forever. They may even sound trite (everything seems trite when you’re in a rut), or they may seem useless. Trust me on this: keep reading and reading and reading.
You’ll get out of that rut, and you’ll find that strength inside you. They may just be quotes, but words have a powerful effect if you imbibe them and believe that there is always hope, even if it doesn’t seem like it at the moment.

The benefits of meditation have long been established. For example, more than having a calming and stabilizing effect, it can also help in managing pain. While meditating on a regular basis is the best thing to do, there is an added benefit to setting aside a specific, extended period where you can really focus on meditating, reflecting, and even doing yoga and other spirit-nourishing activities.
With summer here, you’re probably making plans to get away from the hustle and bustle of life – if you haven’t already. With how busy things can get at work, it’s understandable that many still haven’t made arrangements for their summer vacation, but it’s not too late to make bookings, and with sites such as Uyora, affordable rates are still to be found.
If you don’t have plans yet, there is still time to plan and consider visiting a retreat, which may be different from your usual summer trip. There are a lot of choices out there, but here are some of the best European retreats.
