Taking a Test with Hypnosis

We have all taken tests in our lives. Many people are afriad to take tests. Many avoid them like the plague. The kind of test I am referring to is a written exam, especially the ones required for licenship, certification, or a master's degree, but also important tests like GMAT and GRE. Even the SAT can be daunting.

Sounds like alphabet soup! We don't even know what they stand for, but they can be intimidating!


Hypnosis can be very helpful in the test taking process. It can help you maximize your study time, motivate you to study more, and face the exam in a very confident and relaxed manner. This is especially helpful to those who suffer from test anxiety.

Test anxiety refers to the dread of taking an exam, usually preceded by a bad experience. I have worked with several clients who have "gone blank" as soon as they sit for an exam. They spend the duration of the time stressing and worrying and barely get through it before the time is up. Some get so upset they can't even stay for the whole exam. They just give up. Needless to say this kind of consternation does not result in a high grade.

Hypnosis can restore your confidence. It also helps you to relax. This helps during the test, because stress, anxiety, and tension interfere with memory retrieval. Hypnosis helps the information keep flowing just when you need it. So now is a good time to see your local hypnotist or take a self-hypnosis class.

April 30 Presentation

Palm Harbor, April 30, 2011

Can hypnosis be done by phone?

Yes! Now you can do it at home without driving to the hypnotist's office! This makes it even more convenient and effective to use hypnosis to make changes in your life. Information and a demonstration will take place at a presentation called, “Hypnosis by Telephone and Skype” at Books-A-Million on Tuesday, April 30 at 7:00pm. Gloria Constantas, Mark Beck and other nationally certified hypnotists of the Tampa Bay National Guild of Hypnotists(TBNGH), will answer your questions and demonstrate telephone hypnosis. All curious individuals are invited and welcome to attend.

Gloria will discuss the many ways you can improve your life using the power of your mind. “Hypnosis is an excellent way to make necessary changes in your behavior," she says. She further explains that hypnosis makes it easier to make changes quickly and see a dramatic change in your health and well-being. She also says that she will share several success stories with all who attend. Gloria is scheduled to present “Memory Techniques for Baby Boomers” at the annual National Guild of Hypnotist Convention in Massachusetts in August. She says she has a passion for helping others using hypnosis. Gloria received her certification in 1996 and has been assisting her clients to overcome fears and bad habits and reduce stress for 15 years. She is the current president of the Tampa Bay National Guild of Hypnotists, which is planning to present an informational presentation about the new trend of doing hypnosis by telephone and Skype. They plan to demonstrate this new technique at Books A Million in Palm Harbor on April 30 at 7pm.

Study with Hypnosis

Many studies have shown that hypnosis improves concentration and memory retrieval. In addition, it reduces stress and anxiety, so that one can perform at their best during an exam. The reason that many people fail, is because they freeze up during an exam and their minds "go blank" which causes more tension and stress. This leads to the waste of energy worrying and stressing out about the exam instead of working on the test. This is called test anxiety and can be counteracted by calming the mind using hypnosis. Then you can focus on the exam and apply all your energy to answering the questions as quickly as possible.

Additionally, hypnosis increases motivation to study and learn, removes barriers to storage and retrieval, and helps you to be more productive by focusing on the subject and allowing you to ignore distractions.

First, get ready to learn. a quiet environment is best. Baroque music has been shown to enhance memory, other types of music may interfere. If you like baroque music, try studying with it. Remembering the music later during the exam, may help you to retrieve the memories. you need to have all your books or materials within reach. You also need an uninterrupted period of time to study, and scheduled breaks (5 or 10 minutes after every 45 minutes of study). Get enough rest and good healthy meals and snacks. It's okay to have cookies for a reward AFTER studying, but during study, avoid sugar. It may seem that sugar increases energy, but after the sugar high, comes the crash and this can make you drowsy. A recent study recommends that a power nap AFTER studeying can help you retain more information.

For people over 40 years old, play with the information first, before sleep. Try to draw it, sing about it, figure out an example or application for this information. Process it any way you can. This helps the information which is now in your short-term memory to be moved to permanent storage, long-term memory.

Playing with the information is a mnemonic device. Repetition is another one. Review and repeat the information before the power nap. A power nap may be about 30 minutes long. If you are not a napper, or a nap is out of the question because of your ienvironment, take a leisurely walk around the library or wherever you are studying. Lastly, build high expections about how learning this material is EASY for you.

Telephone Hypnosis

Can hypnosis be done by telephone? I just had the chance to try it a few times this week. In fact, I just got off the phone with a client. So the answer is,

YES!

This is a fantasstic advancement in my world! So convenient for both me and my client. I think I will call it

telephonosis.

Please let me know if someone else has coined this term before me!

Great Demos!

The meeting was great. We had several new hypno-enthusiasts show up for our special event, called "Hypnosis?" The volunteers were just great! All in all, a good time was had by all. Next meeting will be at Books-A-Million the Saturday after Easter, the last Saturday in Easter.
