On Tuesday June 9 we discussed hypnosis and how it might be good for people. In this article Levi Leipheimer, a professional cyclist, talks about how he used hypnosis to help him ride better. Levi received an Ultimate Cyclist CD created by Josh Horowitz Liquid Fitness booth and clinical hypnotherapist Rick Collingwood. The CD puts positive thoughts into the users mind. Levi started listing to this every night. Since using the CD Levi has won the Amgen Tour of California two years in a row and placed 3rd in 2007. I believe this article has a great message to tell everyone. That is that if you think positive more good things could happen to you. By having better positive thinking you may be able to forget about all the problems you have a get things done. "The mind is probably the single most important part of our bodies that we need to train," Josh Horowitz says. and Levi was able to relax his mind, which is not very easy to do. If you relax the mind then maybe you can relax the body.

An uncle of mine smoked for over thirty years and tried, in several different ways, to quit, but nothing ever worked out. As he was researching online he came across a so-called "audio self-hypnosis/meditation system" that claimed to lessen the cravings of tobacco. Every day he would sit in a quiet room with his eyes shut and focus on what was being said on the tapes as well as his own thoughts, and after several months he was able to quit altogether. He has been tobacco-free for close to a year and a half now. Personally, I have difficulty believing in the whole hypnosis thing,but as mentioned in this posting,anything can be accomplished or improved by being optimistic and really focusing inward. Its just a way of tricking the mind.
