Wow - it is hard to keep up with blogging sometimes. During this very busy August when my kids are home from University and school - when family and friends are visiting - it is hard to work as efficiently as normal. However on the plus side there is so much happening that makes great material for articles. I now have a wealth of experiences to write about over the coming weeks.
Through the house there has been a constant procession of colourful and interesting friends of my own two teenagers. Without exception I liked them all and they had great social skills and were incredibly interesting to talk to. What struck me was their individuality and their open acceptance of others with different backgrounds and views.

OK I did say I was going to not let the stupidity of Googles PageRank system get to me any more but how can I ignore a client ringing up and demanding to know what is going on. Dear client I wish I could tell you.
I was complaining in my last post about Adam’s site slipping a point - but just get this.

There is a lot that I like about Google - analytics to name but one - but equally they frustrate the hell out of me at times.
However they work out the algorithm for their PageRank is totally screwed up and doesn’t make any sense if you are carrying out the normal rules of the road approach to your website.
I am like many people who develop websites that get uptight about the PageRank of our websites. Should I be so obsessed with this though - I have clear evidence that Google just haven’t got the importance of websites correct.
PageRank is defined as a measure of the ‘importance’ of a page - importance in the eyes of who? Google?
I have made a decision - I am not going to worry about their page rank any more and here is why.

About this time last year I was camping, and not for the first time in my life I simply bent down to pick something up and my back locked. Now camping is not the best activity on earth to be doing if you are doubled up in pain and hardly able to move.
With my break cut short and some pulling about by a physiotherapist I got back on my feet resolving to find a permanent answer to my back weakness and frequent acute back pain episodes.
The answer came in the shape (a perfectly fit looking shape I may add) of another physiotherapist Anne-Marie Samuel. Read the rest of this entry »

The last time I wrote on this topic I thought I had concluded what I have to say on this subject. However there was a very interesting and helpful comment from a guy called Mike Reeves-McMillan

I’m on a rant today. An injustice is being done by the Performance Rights Society - do they really want a world devoid of music? They are going the right way about it.
What am I on about.
Petty bureaucracy gone mad - that is what!

Eat your heart out Adam - I have some images of Dr Herbert L Flint, a hypnotist from as far back as the late 19th Century - and boy what a showman.
I came across some pictures today that made me smile - but you have to understand the background story first.

Google does have some great services and among them is Google Alert.
All you have to do is to tell Google what keyword phrases you want to be alerted to and they will send the information to your in box - hence the name of the service - clever huh!
I have been amazed how quickly information gets picked up - I know because of the speed it returns my own blog and article entries.
And here is my tip of the day -

I was delighted to read that a medical training school for GPs in Australia is throwing off the blinkers and introducing into their curriculum, education about alternative therapies.
“Areas of interest will include mind-body medicine such as hypnosis and meditation, evidence-based nutritional and environmental medicine and evidence-based herbal medicine,”

An argument is raging through the blogs and Twitter at the moment about Internet Marketers and John Reese in particular using Social Media for their activities.
Let me make it plain from the start I am defending John Reese. He doesn’t need me to do that - he is successful enough, clever enough, and web aware enough to do that himself. I choose to do that because I want to - just as much as I choose to follow him on Twitter because I know I can learn a lot from this knowledgable Internet Marketer.
Let me come back to that specific issue in a minute though. Read the rest of this entry »

Working alongside Adam Eason I do get to try out as many of his hypnosis products as I like. In fact I listen to some that I don’t need as I feel it is imperative if you are to market something to know intimately what you are selling. (I can’t ever believe I will need bigger breasts - but I have taken a listen)
This time though it is different - this is more a testimonial - I am able to promote yet another of his range of products with a passion as I used it at a time of real need myself.
I am talking about ‘Pain Release’ - I can tell you now that providing you have learned the basic skills which Adam supplies with all his products of getting yourself into a good deep trance the individual products work so well.

Let me revisit the question on a Christian Blog that prompted me to articulate my views about the role of hypnosis as delivered in clinical hypnotherapy.
The question was:
