How to Make Nervous System Changes With Hypnosis

How to Make Nervous System Changes With Hypnosis



If you suffer from rapid heartbeat, sweaty palms, and a churning stomach every time that you see a specific item or smell a familiar smell, you may be a prime candidate for hypnotherapy. You can make nervous system changes with hypnosis if you work closely with a therapist.









1


Know that you need to change reaction to stimuli. Your emotions stimulate the autonomic nervous system, which increases "fight or flight" reactions. Stimulating the parasympathetic nervous system slows down the rate of the heart and other "fight or flight" reactions.





2


Understand what stimuli is causing your panic attacks, depression or other unhelpful reactions. The nervous system changes made by hypnosis can only begin if you're aware what causes them. Focus on events that stimulate your reactions. The hypnotist may be able to help you with this.





3


Learn to center yourself and relax, even when mentally or physically confronted with the stimuli. If you originally felt panic and were hurt when you were trapped in a room, small places or locked doors will bring about the same panic. Revisiting the scene in your mind and ultimately having a happier, more relaxed experience, stimulates the development of new receptors and responses.





4


Associate all smells, sounds, visions and tactile stimulation that occurred in any traumatic experience. The senses trigger response.





5


Remember that you don't need to physically experience something to develop fears. Sometimes hearing a story can create them. One woman had a fear of laying clothing on the bed, only to find that it came from a story by her grandmother. In her grandmother's day, bed bugs and other infestations were feared and prominent.





6


Know that every time you experience something, a new receptor is created, changing your nervous system.

How to Walk Like a Model

How to Walk Like a Model



Models have a distinctive walk that sets them apart from the rest of society. They had to learn it too, unless they are Brazilian or South American, to whom the walk tends to come naturally. You can learn this walk for the catwalk if you aspire to be a model, or just to impress friends and strangers.









Step
1



Choose shoes. Break in new heels or practice with a pair you've already worn in. You can start with 2-inch heels and work your way up. Put masking tape on the bottom of the heels to prevent them from slipping while you are walking like a model.




Step
2



Bring your shoulders back, and pelvic bone forward slightly to have the posture of a model. Keep your neck long, your stomach in, your butt tight and your chest out.




Step
3



Place one foot in front to begin the walk, putting it directly in front of the back foot, as if you are walking a tightrope. Keep your toes facing straight ahead. When done at a normal walking pace, this gives the model the swing that you see on the catwalk.




Step
4



Balance on the balls of your feet, instead of your heels. Always put the ball of your foot down first when you walk like a model.




Step
5



Lengthen your normal stride by lifting your knees up a little higher when you walk and placing them out slightly more than you would normally. Let your arms swing naturally.




Step
6



Focus straight ahead when you walk like a model. Your head stays still as you walk, and your chin tilts up slightly. Your fingers curl ever so slightly, making your body look relaxed.




Step
7



Let your head be the last part of you that moves when you make your turnaround at the front of the catwalk (or your hallway).







Tips & Warnings









There are different types of walks that models use for shows. "Street" is when they walk strong and determined, as if down a New York City sidewalk. "Street plus a little more" is with no posing or hands on hips. It is meant to be more of a natural stride. "Versace" walk is the no-holds-barred style, with full swishing and swinging and posing.

How to walk like a catwalk model

How to walk like a catwalk model



Pounding the catwalk like a professional model isn't the easiest task in the world. Though wearing the latest fashions and walking with a little "oomph" may seem like a piece of cake, perfecting the ideal runway walk is something that requires much practice. If you want to walk like the girls on "America's Next Top Model," keep the following tips in mind.









Step
1



Have a fabulous outfit and great high heels. Yes, you can learn the catwalk without wearing stilettos. But, you'll look and feel much more like a model if you practice in heels.




Step
2



Find a local designer or fashion design student to work with. The more you practice in real runway shows, the closer you'll be to walking like a real model. Network, network, network. The fashion industry is all about who you know and who places you in their runway shows. Get out there and show those designers who they're working with!




Step
3



Practice your catwalk strut as much as you can. Models often learn the ropes by walking with a book on top of their heads. This encourages great posture and a fierce walk down the runway. Don't worry if the book topples off of your head your first few tries. It's bound to happen. Try it this way until you can walk without it falling off.




Step
4



Know the length of the catwalk when you're practicing on the runway. Models aren't supposed to look down when they're displaying fab outfits. Keeping your eye level straight ahead is a must when making your way down the catwalk.




Step
5



Practice walking with one leg crossing over the other. When you walk, be sure to keep your back straight, your stomach sucked in and your head lifted up. Figure out what swagger works for you. Each model has their own pace and style of walking which can only be found through practice.




Step
6



Place one hand on your hip and do a slight dip with your hips when you reach the end of the catwalk. Immediately turn and begin your walk back over the runway at a steady, but quick pace.




Step
7



Train your face to work with the music; catwalk models aren't all about their walk. Some designers prefer upbeat models and music, where a sexy smile is appropriate. Most models prefer a neutral look, with their eyes and lips deadened in a way. Always keep your gaze strong, but avoid bursting into laughter or smiles throughout your walk down the catwalk.







Tips & Warnings









Talk with the designer you're working with. Know their likes, dislikes and preferences.








Never fall on the catwalk. If you do trip on a hem or in heels, brush it off. Keep your head up and don't ever start crying. The show must go on.

How to Walk in Stilettos

How to Walk in Stilettos



There's nothing like wearing a pair of high skinny heels to make you feel like a sex goddess. Your legs seem longer, your body looks leaner. Of course, when you try to walk in them you totter like a newborn giraffe, but that's beside the point! Once you've mastered these steps, you'll be strutting down the runway in no time.









Step
1



Have the right fit. Most shoe stores have expert salespeople who will gladly measure you for the right size. If your sexy heels are too tight, too big, too wide or too narrow, you are surely starting off on the wrong foot. You don't want your shoes rubbing blisters while trying to do the catwalk. It's hard to look hot when your feet are covered in bandages.




Step
2



Do exercises to strengthen your calves and ankles. For instance, hold on to a stair railing and balance on the edge of a stair. Raise up on your toes, then back down. The stronger your legs and ankles are, the easier it is to walk and balance in stilettos.




Step
3



Stand without wobbling. Get used to the height and adjust your body to feel comfortable and balanced. Try standing as you would waiting for a table at a restaurant, or leaning up against the bar. You might feel foolish, but do you want to be the girl who loses her balance and falls on her face?




Step
4



Practice walking. Start slow. Walk across different types of floors, such as carpet or hardwood (be extra careful!). Walk with your back straight and walk toe-to-heel--put pressure first on your toes, then a little on your heel before you take the next step. This way all your weight isn't on that skinny heel. Imagine you are aiming your toes straight in front of you. This may feel awkward at first, but once you get used to the height and learn to balance, you gradually begin to feel more comfortable.







Tips & Warnings









Most shoe stores sell anti-slip, non-skid adhesive tape. Stick these under your sole and you'll feel more confident walking across slippery surfaces.








Don't wear stilettos all the time. Doctors warn that constantly wearing high heels can cause bunions, deformed toes, nerve damage, and heel pain, along with pain in the front and back of the knees.

How to Walk in SEXY High Heels

How to Walk in SEXY High Heels



Walking is high heel shoes is easier than it seems.







Things You'll Need:





Feet



High Heel Shoes



Balance



A flat/hard surface.









Step
1



Grab your favorite pair of pumps, sit down, and slip them on. Keep your legs together or crossed if you have company.




Step
2



Now stand up slowly and to get used to the new positioning of your weight. Have something near by that you can grab on to because you might feel like tipping over at first.




Step
3



Once you feel safe, place one foot in front of the other and attempt to move forward. If your shoes have a short heel then it shouldn't be all that different than usual, but if you have a tall heel you're gonna have to be more careful with your steps. If you put too much pressure on the heel or you can lose balance or break the heel and fall down.




Step
4



Keep your body movement lose but controlled. You don't want to swing your arms around like a jogger in your sexy pumps, but feel free to move your hips. The more relaxed you are, the easier it will be to keep your balance. Also, take smaller gentler steps.




Step
5



Avoid sand, dirt, mud, grass (your heel with sink into the dirt like a golf peg), snow, sleet, broken gravel, or any surface that is more difficult to walk on.







Tips & Warnings









If there is a bit of a built in platform under the sole of your shoe it will lessen the incline, and make standing/walking a little easier.








The shorter and thicker the heel of your shoe, the safer you'll feel keeping your balance.








Keep a spare pair of flats in your car in case you don't feel safe driving in your high heels or your feet start to bother you.








Don't forget that you are the sexiest lady in the room. Confidence is everything.








Try not to wear very high heels when you're going to do a lot of standing or walking.

How to Walk in High Heels

How to Walk in High Heels



Heels do not need to be long and thin to be considered fashionable. But no matter what the length of your heel, take extra caution to keep your balance and place the least amount of strain on your muscles.









Step
1



Step with your heel down first, then let the sole follow quickly and smoothly.




Step
2



Walk with your toes pointing straight ahead or as close to straight ahead as possible.




Step
3



Swing your arms as you walk for balance.




Step
4



Keep your legs straight, close and parallel.




Step
5



Take smooth, even steps; consider shortening your stride a bit.




Step
6



Avoid walking on ice, slush, mud, grass, sand, gravel and grated surfaces, on which you can slip or sink. When in doubt, take off your heels and carry them across such questionable surfaces in your bare feet.







Tips & Warnings









When climbing stairs, make sure both sole and heel land together firmly and simultaneously on each step. When descending stairs, only the sole of the shoe needs to be planted on each step.








Learning to walk in high heels is mostly a matter of practice.








While high heels can make your legs look better and longer, they can also wreak havoc on your feet, especially when worn regularly over long periods of time.








Avoid driving in high heels - you don't have quite as much control over the car, and you can damage the back of your shoe. Keep an extra pair of flats in your car, or consider driving barefoot.

How to Walk in High Heeled Sandals

How to Walk in High Heeled Sandals



Even if you have a few pairs of heels in your closet, walking in your first pair if high heel

sandals


can leave you feeling like you lack balance and grace. High heel sandals pose a different challenge than pumps and boots because your foot feels less supported. With the right fit and a little practice, though, you can wear your sandals like a pro.









Step
1



Look for high-heeled sandals with an ankle strap or another system of straps that attaches the shoe snugly to your foot. You can also look for sandals with a heel cap, or a piece that fits snugly against the back of your heel, holding the shoe in place.




Step
2



Try on a variety of high-heeled sandals to find a pair that fits your foot. Put on both shoes and stand, moving weight from one foot to the other. Watch especially for your toes getting cramped or cut into by the toe straps, a large gap between your sole and the shoe bed when you lift your foot, and any discomfort or constriction around your ankle.




Step
3



Attach your sandals snugly to your feet before you walk. A tighter setting is better than a looser setting on the straps, but your feet and ankles shouldn't feel constrained and should feel comfortable.




Step
4



Balance on both feet, using your whole foot rather than trying to stay on the ball of your foot. Find your whole foot by consciously moving your weight to the ball of your foot and then to your heel. When you can do this easily, distribute your weight evenly between the ball and the heel. Balance on one foot, using the same method, once you can balance on 2 feet.




Step
5



Walk by putting your heel down first, and then rolling the rest of the foot onto the ground. Push off with the ball of your foot to take another step, landing heel first.




Step
6



Start with small steps on a flat surface to master the basic walk, then take larger steps until you can walk easily. When you're comfortable with normal-sized steps and speed, take your walk outside to tackle different types of terrain. A walk around the block provides different challenges than a walk in your living room.




Step
7



Hold on to handrails when you go up and down steps, and keep your torso vertical rather than leaning forward or back. The basic walk is the same, but when you're first learning to walk in high heel sandals, keeping balance going up and down steps is more difficult.







Tips & Warnings









Set your heel down gently when you're learning to walk in your high-heeled sandals. If you put your heel down with too much force, you cause stress to your leg and foot, and you can damage the heels of your shoes.








Don't buy your first pair of high-heeled sandals over the Internet or through a catalog. You need to try on the sandals to make sure they fit correctly. Once you know the type of fit that works for you, you can then buy shoes without trying them on.
