Recent scientific research carried out by the Institute of Sports Science at the Justus Liebig University Giessen in Germany, showed just how much we can incorporate or replace actual physical training with training in our minds.

Tests were carried out on 5 groups of people. This is what they did:

Group one – 100% of a training program physically
Group two – 75% of it physically and 25% of it in their minds
Group three – 50% physically and 50% mentally
Group four – 25% physical training and 75% mental training
Group five – no training.

The training consisted of doing 4 sets of 2 exercises (bench press and bicep extensions) for 12 sessions.

The results showed that there was only a very small difference in strength gains between doing 100% of the training in the gym and doing just 25% in the gym and doing the extra time mentally. The authors come to the conclusion that ‘high intensity strength training sessions can be partly replaced by mental strength training sessions.’

This means, by purely doing the whole session in your mind, you can increase your strength and fitness levels.

A great way to train in your mind is to visualise yourself doing your workout, looking through your own eyes (associated). Imagine you can hear the music playing (if you listen to music when training), you can feel the weights in your hand, get as much detail as possible. This is because the mind doesn’t know the difference to what is real or what is imagined.

For people with illness or injury, professional athletes or people who exercise just to keep fit, this result is fantastic, because they can visualise working out in their minds. Neuroscience research shows that all the same areas of the brain are activated, whether a person does actual physical training or training by visulisation, and amazingly, the more you use the brain through mental visualisation, the stronger the muscle can become.

Research like this really shows how powerful the human mind can be.

Fed up with smoking? Have you tried everything to stop smoking…willpower, the patches, the gum? Are you fed up with feeling antisocial? Hate the smell? Maybe you don’t even know why you smoke anymore?

Smoking is just a habit. Nothing more, nothing less. And habits can be broken. NLP, Time Line Therapy, Hypnotherapy and PSTEC (Percussive Suggestion Technique), are great for breaking habits … for good!

Quitting smoking may be one of the most important things you will ever do in your life. You’ll feel fitter and healthier. You’ll probably live a lot longer than if you continue to smoke. And of course smoking has become so antisocial in recent years, so you can feel really proud when you stop.

For many people, stopping smoking can be seen as a major hurdle to overcome. There’s often an underlying fear that life will never be the same again. The truth is, it won’t be the same again; it’ll be better!

Imagine how healthy you would feel every day if you were no longer taking in cigarette smoke, with all its deadly carcinogenic poisons into your body (Which include carbon monoxide, arsenic and cyanide).

Imagine how much younger, fitter and more attractive you would become if your body’s processes were working to optimise your health and energy, rather than being damaged daily.

Imagine how happy and confident you would feel, knowing that you had lengthened your life by years or if not decades, knowing that you had greatly improved your chances of avoiding life threatening illnesses such as lung cancer and heart disease.

Imagine how many extra thousands of pounds you could spend on the things you really love – things which would actually improve the quality of your life, and not undermine it.

Imagine all the new places you could go, the things you could do, the people you could meet.

This programme can make the task of giving up so much easier. Much easier than using willpower or nicotine replacement products (which don’t deal with the real issue anyway).

It doesn’t matter how many cigarettes a day you smoke or how long you’ve smoked, you can stop. As long as you are committed to becoming a non-smoker, and you really want to do this for yourself, then you can do it.

When you come to see me for help, we will tailor the session to suit your needs. I use many different techniques, including NLP, Time Line Therapy, PSTEC (Percussive Suggestion Technique) as well as Hypnotherapy. One of the main aims will be to make it far more pleasurable for you to be a non-smoker than it ever was when you used to smoke.

I understand exactly how the smoking habit works and I will use this knowledge to help you to quit for good. Your investment for this programme is just £250! Compare that to the amount of money you spend each year on cigarettes  if you smoke 20 cigarettes a day, for example, then by stopping you could save up to £1500 a year!

And as an added bonus, you get a one year guarantee, which means that not only do you become a happy healthy non-smoker, but more importantly that you remain a happy healthy non-smoker

So don’t hesitate any longer. You can escape from cigarettes. And the sooner you do it, the happier and healthier you will feel. Call 020 7352 3087 or 07764 580438 now. You can also email using the form above.
