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.
