Colin Calderwood! Are you listening…??

“Who the heck is Colin Calderwood, Adam?”

He is the manager and first team coach of Nottingham Forest football club… My beloved Nottingham Forest football club. I was hoping that he was listening to me, or rather; reading my written word today.

We have won one measly game in the last 9 and are at the foot of the championship table… A far cry from the talks of promotion that was being touted at the beginning of the season. Has Colin Calderwood not seen what is going on at Swindon Town? Want to know what they are doing? As if you could not guess… (more…)

As I am sure you know… Each month, I host a free teleseminar that you can call in to or listen to live online… Each month, the upcoming teleseminar is displayed on this page of this website… We have a wide array of subjects covered and I am delighted to introduce authors and stars from the all over the world from the varying fields of personal development. Subjects include hypnotic writing, law of attraction, self-hypnosis, stage hypnosis, persuasion, influence and much more besides.

Tonight is the turn of Jonathan Chase, renowned stage hypnotist.

Jon Chase, the Dreampilot, the UK’s leading stage hypnotist, bestselling author, and often referred to as the ‘Gordon Ramsey of hypnosis’, takes centre stage for this hypnotic night of fun.

In this teleseminar and webcast, Jon and Adam are going to discuss using hypnosis for fun… Stage hypnosis… And lots of other silly stuff…

Despite being good pals, Adam and Jon have been known to have their differences on the subjects of self-hypnosis, being able to make someone do something they don’t want to do with hypnosis, and some other hot topics… So you may expect some fireworks on this evening.

As usual, send your questions through, they’ll get asked… And anything stupid or silly will not be ignored!

A provocative evening of hypnosis awaits those who join in this teleseminar and webcast from two of the prominent figures of UK hypnosis.

The full-on participation page for the teleseminar is here.

Synesthesia??

“Ok Adam, lay off the big words this morning please…”

Rght you are… Synesthesia is where our senses cross over, get mixed into each other, overlap…. Like tasting colours, smelling sounds, and feeling shapes… Like this morning as I gazed out across my garden, I saw a sheen of frost upon our decking area…. It reminded me that I can feel cold when I see shiny white colour…

Many people may well consider synesthesia to be an unusual phenomenon… However, it is well documented that some of history’s outstandingly creative minds - artists, musicians, poets, writers etc - have often had all kinds of synaesthesia occurring within them.

Now research has shown that hypnosis can be used to create the same in anyone! Yay! Let me go on… (more…)

The secret to a longer life? Being conscientious.

I started  fascinating discussion in my members area this week about the virtue of selfishness. It whipped up some interesting responses that’s for sure. With that still fresh in my mind, while reading this weeks edition of the New Scientist, I stumbled across something that set more lights going off in my brain…

The notion of conscientiousness.

This morning, I looked the word up in my dictionary to make sure I knew the correct meaning and was not using some handed down version of an incorrect term…  Conscientious: Involving or taking great care; painstaking; diligent.

So that then, is the secret to a longer life. Let me explain… (more…)

What is it that goes off inside of us when someone pushes in front of us in a queue? Is there anything more frustrating?

I can remember as a teenager and when in my early 20s my firends and I would queue up for what seemed like hours outside the nightclub, with only our shirts and the evenings beer keeping us warm… And then along would come a couple of girls in short skirts who smiled sweetly at the bouncers and they’d be allowed to waltz straight in… How infuriating!

Why am I mentioning this today? Let me explain… (more…)
