[马来西亚自律神经失调与治疗]查不出病因？那你可能面对-自律神经失调症状

可否听说过自律神經失調？
通常有自律神經失調症状的人，在經過各種儀器檢查出來都很正常并查不出病因的。
面对自律神经失调的人，严重者甚至会有“逛医院或诊所（即不停的找寻病源但查不出病源）”的问题。
自律神經失調並不是一種病，而是一系列的症狀，也就是症候群，病因可能有許多種，也有許多種疾病會出現這些症狀，例如抑郁症depression、恐慌症panic attack or anxiety disorder等等。因為針對的器官不同，可能出現以下某些症狀：
1)倦怠、
2)口乾、
3)心悸、
4)頭暈頭痛、
5)焦慮恐慌、
6)心律不整等、
7)姿態性低血壓、
8)呼吸急促、
9)胃痛、
10)头疼、
11)腹脹、腹鳴、腹瀉、泻肚子或便秘等不止。
12)失眠
基本上，幾乎全身都有自律神經分布，所以症狀也相當多樣。

這裡將自律神經失調分成2種，快快了解成因，改善自律神經失調，告別沒有朝氣的自己！
                                                                                 
交感神經讓你活動：
當身體需要活動、抗壓時，就是交感神經活躍的時候。這時心臟、肺的作用力大幅提升，體溫與血壓也跟著上升，調整身體狀態，使你精神飽滿，又能燃燒體脂肪！此時消化與排泄作用則會進入休息狀態。

交感神經活躍時的狀態：
★大腦活動旺盛 - 快速處理接收的情報，掌管心臟與肺臟。

★不易有睡意 - 腎上腺素分泌抗壓荷爾蒙，提高大腦與身體的活動量，不易有睡意。

★心跳加快，血壓上升 - 加速心臟跳動，將身體活動所需的充足血液，送到身體各器官。

★消耗熱量 - 交感神經運作，消耗熱量，燃燒體脂肪！

★支氣管擴張 - 支氣管擴張，呼吸次數增加，將大量空氣送入肺中，提供新鮮酵素。

★子宮收縮 - 交感神經活躍時，子宮會收縮，例如生產時收縮子宮，將小Baby順利產出。

★抑制胃酸分泌 - 心與肺活動時，腸胃不須有太大活動，所以會抑制胃酸分泌，以利能量釋放。

★腸胃蠕動變慢 - 使排便暫緩、腸胃蠕動變慢，持續強烈緊張而便秘時，就是交感神經過度興奮。

★不易排尿 - 身體活動時，必須讓環境穩定，抑制排尿則可以變得更有效率。



副交感神經讓你放鬆：
副交感神經會舒緩緊張，放鬆身體，受到交感神經的刺激，減緩心臟與肺的活動力，使胃腸活動旺盛，促進消化吸收，將不需要的物質以尿液或汗排出。
尤其在睡眠時，活動力更是旺盛！

副交感神經活躍時的狀態：
★大腦呈休息狀態 - 大腦進入休息狀態，使全身放鬆。

★心臟跳動減緩，血壓下降 - 休息時不需要太多血液，所以心跳減緩，血壓下降。

★支氣管收縮 - 在休息狀態中，身體不需做劇烈活動，所以也不須要太多空氣。

★腸胃蠕動旺盛 - 腸胃蠕動旺盛，就能將老廢物質排出體外，在放鬆狀態容易想要排便，就是這個緣故呢！

★刺激生長激素 - 副交感神經活躍，刺激肌膚等的新陳代謝，使生長激素分泌旺盛。

★舒緩子宮緊張 - 使肌肉休息，舒緩子宮緊張，例如抑制子宮收縮，讓小Baby可以在子宮中長大。

★分泌胃酸 - 副交感神經活躍，是為了儲存能量，於是胃的活動大增，胃酸分泌增多。

★容易排尿 - 副交感神經活躍，膀胱收縮，刺激排尿作用，將老廢物質排出體外。


交感神經與副交感神經，為使每天的必要性活動能執行，不斷地做轉換，使身體保持最佳狀態！
不過，壓力過大，交感神經會持續過度興奮狀態；過度疲勞，副交感神經同樣也會有過度興奮情形產生，当2種神經無法順利轉換，平衡失調。失調的情況持續下去，副交感與交感神經都會因為活動過盛，而感到疲倦，到最後一點幹勁也沒有，身心俱疲，便會產生抑郁depressed狀態。



自律神經失調三階段：

一、失調前兆…前自律神經失調期。此時期分為2大型態：

A過度緊張型︰精神壓力引起交感神經過度興奮…

交感神經為了對抗精神壓力，加速心與肺的跳動，體溫上升全面進入備戰狀態！
適度的壓力，對於引發動力、幹勁，多多少少有些幫助，但是長期處於壓力狀態，交感神經混亂，形成過度活躍的狀態，容易導致失眠，種下肥胖的禍根！

B過度放鬆型：肉體疲勞引起副交感神經過度興奮…

長時間的工作與睡眠不足，會累積疲勞，使副交感神經活動過剩，讓身體提早進入休息狀態；長達半天以上處於放鬆的狀態，也會使副交感神經的活動時間延長。
這樣的結果，會使身體處於過度放鬆的狀態，即使白天仍無法抵擋睡意，胃酸過多而發生胃痛！


二、自律神經失調期第：交感、副交感神經過度興奮。

自律神經中的交感神經，與副交感神經關係密切，彼此相互牽制，當有1方持續過度興奮時，另1方也會受到影響，轉變成過度興奮的狀態，而後2方都相繼失去控制！
因此，明明頭昏腦脹，手腳卻冰冷；明明疲倦發痠，卻會突然心悸得很厲害，明明吃得很少，體重卻不見減輕，身體各器官的運作，都變得奇怪而不相稱！


三、憂鬱期：交感、副交感神經機能大幅下降。

當交感神經與副交感神經都呈現過度興奮狀態時，身體的能量Power也會跟著降低。
如果2種神經都過度興奮，沒辦法好好完成各自的工作與任務，你就會變得懶洋洋，什麼事也提不起勁，進入睡也睡不好，連吃也吃不好的「抑郁状态」！
當你已進入此狀態時，別再勉強自己，快快修身養息做适当治疗，讓過度疲勞的自律神經充分休息吧！



在Newmindcentre，
我们提供自然安全的科学治疗方法：
1.脑波反馈疗法EEG biofeedback啟動副交感神經，安定身心 副交感神經的作用在于它使心跳變慢、呼吸平穩緩慢、腸胃蠕動變快、血壓下降等，使身體主要的器官系統活動力降低，達到身體休息與睡眠的狀態。

2. 提供个人化的自我催眠，从而改善自律神经失调问题
熬夜、睡眠不足也是自律神經的大敵。「不論一個人的自律神經原本多平衡，單單睡眠不足這一擊就足以讓他的自律神經失衡，」小林弘幸指出。 
長庚醫院腦神經外科教授張承能說，夜間本來是副交感神經發揮的時間，人自然想休息，硬是熬夜不睡、保持清醒，等於刺激交感神經繼續運作，副交感神經無從發揮，久而久之不但自律神經失調，其他的健康紅燈也一一亮起。「熬夜的人容易高血壓。」 


3. 催眠师透过观察你的五感反应，建议适当保健品并让您可利用五感舒緩神經 
視覺、聽覺、嗅覺、味覺、觸覺等五感，都會影響自律神經，比如某人心跳的速度大約每分鐘90～100下，若想放鬆，便可聽速度比心跳慢的音樂。他解釋，這是「帶走」現象，也就是身心會受到外在環境的影響，聽了節奏慢的音樂，心跳會隨之慢下來。
氣味也有效果。 比如薄荷、洋蔥、辣椒可刺激自律神經，如果希望自己有精神，不妨聞這些味道；反之如果想放鬆，就用薰衣草等柔和的香氣，讓副交感神經活躍一些。 

4. 治疗技术将幫助您发泄情緒，不讓起伏的心情打亂自律神經的節奏 
心情起伏過大，會打亂自律神經的節律。吳立偉說，情緒過於高亢（緊張、不安、興奮等）或過於低落（悲傷、沮喪、失望、鬱悶等），都會阻礙交感與副交感神經正常運作，引發失調。

[Sleep Specialist Malaysia] Brain waves predict our risk for insomnia

There may not yet be a cure for insomnia, but Concordia University researchers are a step closer to predicting who is most likely to suffer from it—just in time for World Sleep Day on March 13.

In his study published in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience, Thien Thanh Dang-Vu, from Concordia's Center for Studies in Behavioral Neurobiology and PERFORM Center, explores the impact of stress on sleep. Although researchers already know that stressful events can trigger insomnia, the experiment reveals that some people are more vulnerable than others to developing the condition.

To determine the role of stress, the study examined the sleep cycles of 12 Concordia students as they went through the nerve-racking experience of finals. Measuring students' brain waves at the beginning of the school semester, Dang-Vu and his team found that students showing a lower amount of a particular pattern of brain waves were more at risk for developing insomnia afterwards in response to the stress of the exams.

The brain—specifically the deep, inner parts of the brain called the thalamus and cortex—produces electromagnetic activity during sleep. When monitored by diagnostic tools, this activity appears as patterns of squiggly lines that scientists refer to as spindles.

In a previous experiment, Dang-Vu and his team discovered that greater spindle activity helps sleepers resist waking, despite noise. The new study aimed to test whether there would be a similar relationship between spindles and stress.

The hypothesis proved true. "We found that those who had the lowest spindle activity tended to develop more disturbances in response to stress, when comparing sleep quality at the beginning of the semester and the end of the school semester," Dang-Vu says.

"We are not all equally armed when facing stress, in terms of how we can manage our sleep. Some people are more vulnerable than others."

How to increase spindle?

The preliminary studies carried out for the FWF project showed the positive effects of EEG biofeedback training on healthy people. This method has therefore now been tested in a pilot study on patients aged between 19 and 50 who suffer from sleep disorders. "The brain oscillations are trained during waking to a frequency range of between 12 and 15 hertz, known as the sensorimotor rhythm. This frequency range is also prominent in light sleep and manifests itself as sleep spindles, particularly when a person is falling asleep", explains Schabus. The patients were able to observe and learn to control their own sensorimotor rhythm (measured using EEG electrodes) on the computer screen. They were tasked with moving a compass needle on the screen to a green dot using only the power of mental relaxation. They received positive visual feedback each time they reached this dot, i.e. to increase the band power between 12 and 15 hertz.

"Using the training, we managed to strengthen the sensorimotor rhythm in a waking state and the sleep spindles in 16 out of 24 patients with mild insomnia. Those who responded well to the training reported an improvement in the quality of their sleep. This was ascertained by self-monitoring methods like sleep diaries and importantly also verified in our sleep laboratory", says Schabus, outlining the process. Each of the participants visited the sleep laboratory a total of 21 times, which meant that the effects could be studied in great detail. The researchers were also able to establish positive effects on memory consolidation when word pairs were retested after sleep following earlier learning. Interestingly, the subjective sleep quality among patients who successfully completed this type of biofeedback training also showed improvement

What is sleep spindle?

A sleep spindle is a burst of oscillatory brain activity visible on an EEG that occurs during stage 2 sleep. It consists of 12–14 Hz waves that occur for at least 0.5 seconds. Sleep spindles are generated in the reticular nucleus of the thalamus.

EEG biofeedback therapy instead of medication to counter insomnia

The ability to finally enjoy a good night's sleep is something that can be learned. An Austrian Science Fund FWF project has investigated how this can best be learned and who responds best to such "brain training".

Dark circles around the eyes, tired limbs, absent-mindedness – most people have experienced the effects on the body of a short night. "Roughly one-third of the Austrian population as a whole suffers from recurrent insomnia", says Manuel Schabus from the University of Salzburg. For years now, the psychologist has been studying a diverse range of states of consciousness. In a project funded by the Austrian Science Fund FWF, Schabus and his team have now studied how the state of mind of people with sleep disorders can be improved without administering medication.

Training vs. chemistry

"People who suffer from sleeplessness, also known as insomnia, are often in a state of 'hyperarousal'. Resorting to tablets seems to be the obvious solution", explains the researcher. However, medication-based treatments are usually for short-term use only and confine themselves to fighting this state of arousal, resulting in undesirable side effects including dependence, morningness, drowsiness or amnesia. "Medication often just reduces nocturnal brain activities and thus also helpful functions such as 'memory consolidation', which is the nocturnal stabilisation of information so that recall is easier the next day", says Manuel Schabus. The neurofeedback training deployed within the framework of the FWF project, a type of biofeedback training for the brain, guides the affected persons into sleep. So-called "sleep spindles" are used in this process. These are patterns identified in EEG measurements which are characterised by "spindle-like" rapid rising and falling brain oscillations, and which occur especially during light sleep.

Crucial rhythm

The preliminary studies carried out for the FWF project showed the positive effects of neurofeedback training on healthy people. This method has therefore now been tested in a pilot study on patients aged between 19 and 50 who suffer from sleep disorders. "The brain oscillations are trained during waking to a frequency range of between 12 and 15 hertz, known as the sensorimotor rhythm. This frequency range is also prominent in light sleep and manifests itself as sleep spindles, particularly when a person is falling asleep", explains Schabus. The patients were able to observe and learn to control their own sensorimotor rhythm (measured using EEG electrodes) on the computer screen. They were tasked with moving a compass needle on the screen to a green dot using only the power of mental relaxation. They received positive visual feedback each time they reached this dot, i.e. to increase the band power between 12 and 15 hertz.

"Using the training, we managed to strengthen the sensorimotor rhythm in a waking state and the sleep spindles in 16 out of 24 patients with mild insomnia. Those who responded well to the training reported an improvement in the quality of their sleep. This was ascertained by self-monitoring methods like sleep diaries and importantly also verified in our sleep laboratory", says Schabus, outlining the process. Each of the participants visited the sleep laboratory a total of 21 times, which meant that the effects could be studied in great detail. The researchers were also able to establish positive effects on memory consolidation when word pairs were retested after sleep following earlier learning. Interestingly, the subjective sleep quality among patients who successfully completed this type of biofeedback training also showed improvement, but so did people in a pure placebo condition. In general, the researcher cautions against generalising the results: in an even more extensive follow-up protocol, people with more persistent or more pronounced insomnia did not respond to the brainwave training, nor did they exhibit any positive changes in sleep or memory.

Hippocampus fitness

"When you consider the amount of information encountered by the brain, especially the hippocampus, on a daily basis, and how sensitively it responds to stress, it is important to be mindful of treating our thinking-organ with care. Systematic training and sufficient 'sleep hygiene' not only promote well-being but also protect newly learned information from disruptive influences", says Schabus. The studies conducted as part of the FWF project play an important role in encouraging trainingof this vital human faculty and act as a reminder to adopt a more conscious approach to sleep.

马来西亚失眠治疗-催眠疗法与营养治疗相结合

在Newmindcentre,
我们将催眠治疗与营养治疗相结合，有效克服失眠问题

引起失眠的原因有很多，多数是由心理因素引起。因此，催眠治疗失眠可以取得良好的效果。专家表示，长期失眠的人，其内心的痛苦是常人难以体会的，必须尽快采取有效措施进行治疗。专家指出，在临床催眠师语言的诱导下，能使患者达到全身乃至心灵深处的放松。临床催眠师的循循诱导，能使患者摆脱所有影响睡眠的症结；再通过一针见血的语言指令，使一切造成压力、紧张、不安、挫折的因素得以宣泄，深层的病因被临床催眠师消除，从而能使患者体验到心身放松的快感和愉悦。 失眠者只要经常体验这种松弛状态，那么恢复正常的睡眠功能那是指日可待的事情了。由此可见，催眠治疗失眠可谓是除药物治疗以外一种最有效的治疗方法，而且绝对是绿色无污染的。

基于营养的临床催眠治疗或心理治疗，能补充身体所需的营养成分和消除对身体有害的食物成分，从而达到身体最佳分子结构、身体健康、心理功能良好的一种疗法。
它的理论基础是人体缺少某些营养成分，可导致一系列心理症状，如镁缺乏症可引起不恰当的运动、定向困难和幻觉等。當血液中的血清素濃度太低時，即會感到心情低落、憂鬱。 
对心理障碍和身体障碍病人的检查发现，这些人往往有某种营养成分的缺乏。
斯可卜(ScoPp，A.L.)发现90%的心理咨询病人营养达不到标准水平。另一方面，有些食物则可造成心理功能紊乱，如某些食物可引起变态反应，使儿童学习困难。
芬固(Feingold)等人在食物中清除添加剂、储存剂、糖等后，改善了多动症和学习困难儿童的症状。
营养成分的缺少，可通过计算机饮食调查、头发重金属检车分析、生物反馈Biofeedback等科技测查等方法调查了解个人身心状态和营养缺失报告。
针对性地补充营养或避免不合适食物，对慢性抑郁症、焦虑、多动、学习无能和精神病有一定效果，营养疗法若与催眠疗法结合，可提高失眠或其他心理保健之疗效。 





我们有两个“大脑”？
肠道是最原始的第一大脑，只有通过更加高效的营养供应我们才能建立起第二大脑，这样我们才能找到更好的食物。心理和肠道关系密切。我们的肚子非常敏感，它能感知。我想，每个人都或多或少注意到了：悲伤的时候有人会吃很多东西，有人会吃不下东西；压力大的时候有的人会打嗝，有的会腹泻或便秘。很多时候，悲观情绪或注意力障碍也是消化系统出了问题的信号。
一直以来，情绪的研究都离不开大脑神经系统。现在，越来越多的研究表明，病原微生物能够影响宿主的大脑和行为, 甚至诱发精神疾患。肠道细菌能影响小鼠的大脑神经系统发育和行为模式的发展。肠道微生物还与高血压、高血脂、慢性疲劳综合征、肥胖等慢性炎症状态有关，甚至与孤独症和抑郁症等精神疾病有关。

腸道健康與大腦息息相關 
美國哥倫比亞大學解剖細胞生物學教授，也是醫學博士Michael D. Gershon提出「第二大腦」的學說，也就是， 每個人都有兩個大腦，一個位於頭部；一個藏在人體肚子裡的腸道，又稱為「腹腦」。 腸子在結構與神經化學層面上，與大腦息息相關，「頭腦」與「腹腦」兩者必須合作，否則肚子亂糟糟、腦袋慘兮兮。 

腸子分泌重要的荷爾蒙— 血清素 ，在腸道會促進腸道蠕動，也作用在大腦，是大腦的幸福分子，與情緒平衡有關。當血液中的血清素濃度太低時，即會感到心情低落、憂鬱。 

您是否曾發現，如果一早順利排便，肚子輕鬆了，心情相對也會開心、不焦慮。腹腦和大腦相互聯繫，一個出毛病，另一個也受影響，所以保養我們的第二個大腦很重要。就健康的角度來說，我個人建議一天至少一次排便。 

肠道内布满了神经元，数量几乎和头脑一样多 肠道被称为我们人体的“第二大脑”，研究表明，胃肠存在着一些内分泌细胞，其分泌的物质具有类似大脑内分泌素，可调节胃肠神经，乃至全身神经系统的功能。此外，肚子里有一个非常复杂的神经网络。它拥有大约1000亿个神经细胞，比骨髓里的细胞还多。

研究表明，慢性胃肠疾病一般与细菌感染有关，而细菌的毒素对人体恶性刺激也有可能影响大脑和神经系统的调节功能，从而引起或加 重失眠。值得一提的是， 医学心理学列出了38种身心疾病，其中属于胃肠疾病的如：贲门痉挛、十二指肠溃疡、胃溃疡、过敏性结肠炎、痉挛性结肠炎、溃疡性结肠炎、呕吐等11种之 多，占了1/4多。可以看出失眠与胃肠疾病具有共同的身心障碍基础。

胃神经症与人的精神状态有关，它常以精神过度紧张或精神创伤为发病基础，症状复杂，有反酸、嗳气、厌 食、烧心、恶心、呕吐、食后饱胀感、上腹部不适感及疼痛等症状。腹疼程度不一，无节律性与周期性，精神紧张时则疼痛出现或加剧，精神愉快则消失。疼痛也可 因适当的暗示而缓解。此外，病人多有头晕、头疼、失 眠、心悸、胸闷、注意力不集中、记忆力减退、阵发性面部潮红及手掌多汗等全身症状。

失眠，不可乱用安眠药

对于顽固性失眠症患者，适当给予镇静安眠药以改善失眠状况是可以的，但要特别注意避免由此引发成瘾依赖行为，安眠药常常有时间滞后的抑制作用，会导致白天嗜睡、乏力、精神萎靡而容易发生意外跌倒等不良后果，甚至有的老人发生进食、饮水时的呛咳和窒息，更为严重的是，患有睡眠性呼吸暂停症者约占老年人群的1/4，而安眠药可延长呼吸暂停的时间，以致发生猝死。

肠道菌群失衡与失眠
益生菌能产生一种γ-氨基丁酸的代谢产物，这种代谢产物是一种非蛋白质组成的天然氨基酸，人体大脑系统最安全的镇定剂，有抑制性神经传递，抗精神不安、抑制中枢神经系统兴奋、减低血压的作用，因此具有安眠、抗焦虑抗抑郁的作用。
同时，益生菌通过减弱神经系统的敏感度来改善睡眠，当有炎症发生而影响睡眠的时候，益生菌增强调节T细胞的功能，减弱发炎部位向神经系统传递的信号。

ntv7《活力早晨》民生关注问题之如何预防电话催眠

新闻事件内容：

(吉隆坡2015年3月25日讯）

最新电话骗案手法，老千隔空施催眠术，让你不经意透露银行户头资料？！

　手机通讯应用程序最近流传一则来历不明的讯息，内容警告手机用户，指一旦接获背景有奇怪音乐的电话，便应该马上盖电话，否则将成为“电话催眠术”的受害者。

　讯息内容提及，对方一般会尝试拖延时间，而接听者在听到奇怪的背景声音后便陷入迷糊状态，疑似已被催眠。

　接著，便会不经意透露银行户头资料，让不法之徒有机可趁。

　讯息指案件是于上周五（20日）早上，在吉隆坡苏丹阿兹兰沙路（前是怡保路）发生，并指受害者是一名华裔女生，幸她被催眠时，身旁友人感觉有异大声呼喝把她惊醒，并马上中止所有银行户头交易及信用卡，以致没有损失。

　讯息指，至今为止警方已接获10宗类似投报。她说，不料对方却大声呼喝她，惊吓之下，她挂断电话。

　“我朋友清醒后即刻前往临近银行马上取消所有转账、个人银行户头及信用卡，银行服务员获悉受害者遭遇后，也告知她这是银行接获的第3宗类似案件。”

　冼都警区主任慕鲁沙米助理总监受询时指并未接获相关投报。

最近许多人成为电话催眠的受害者。感谢媒体对社会时事的关注，让我可以以临床催眠师的身份在ntv7《活力早晨》节目上教导民众如何对抗罪犯。实际上，临床催眠是非常科学有效的身心治疗方法，属于心理与医学结合的辅助医学技术。在临床上对自律神经失调如失眠和肠胃问题，改变坏习惯如催眠瘦身或戒烟，疼痛管理如生产或手术过程，情绪问题如抑郁或焦虑等都有非常显著的治疗效果。

以下是我今早ntv7电视台教导的预防罪犯催眠的方法简述：

• 受害者被电话催眠后，将陷入恍惚状态Alpha-Theta脑电波状态，逻辑思考能力受限；很容易做出不理智的决定。当你发现对方说的话毫无疑点但同时却觉得困惑不已，或许你几经成为了受害者。（可以透过脑电波反馈疗法EEG biofeedback训练你的逻辑思考，专注力甚至让你变得不容易被影响和催眠）。
• 当你发现自己变得特别的乖和听话，那或许就是一个被控制的迹象了。
• 当你发现自己的情绪反应强烈时，你或许已经进入了失控状态。
• 勇敢的说“不”，跳出恍惚状态，让自己恢复理智。
• 有的人无法轻易跳出恍惚状态，可以考虑学习自我催眠或者脑电波反馈疗法来帮助自己加强抵御力或增强逻辑思考能力。
• 催眠是无法控制别人的行为的，因为如果你不愿意合作，没有人可以催眠你的。催眠的功效实际上就是合作与配合度来决定的。只要你不合作，没有人可以催眠你的。

事实上，当你收看这节目或阅读此文章时，你的大脑潜意识就如已经植入了我（临床催眠师的角色就如软件工程师般)给你的初级版防毒程式anti-virus。那么电话催眠罪犯(他们就如hacker般的角色)的病毒virus就比较难对你的潜意识产生影响了（记得勇于说NO! 跳出催眠状态）。如果你想要找寻临床催眠做疗法，建议找有向MSCH或AHPM注册的催眠师。再次特别感谢电视台的化妆师，主持人和工作人员的专业服务与制作。

If scammer is trying to hypnotize you without knowledge, what can you do exactly to not get hypnotized?

Hypnosis is natural, we are all in and out of trance every day. The hypnotic state is a very natural state of physical relaxation and heightened mental awareness whereby an action is felt to "just happen" automatically without conscious effort. For example, when you are driving, you often slip into a trance state where the conscious and unconscious minds appear to concentrate on different things (conscious mind focus and think about the task later on & your unconscious mind is focusing on driving the car). 

Your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) just like the part of you which looks out for you. Your action is felt to "just happen" automatically without conscious effort when unconscious mind(hypnotic trance state) is in charge. 
Most of the time it does a good job but sometimes it makes mistakes. For example: Bad habit, eating pattern, phobia, headache, migraine, irritable bowel syndrome, insomnia, light sleeper, anxiety and more. Your hypnotic trance can give rise to problems or solutions, depending on the value of the context.
Thus, clinical hypnotherapist is just like a "software engineer" to help you reprogramming, re-education or re-training your unconscious mind. Then gives your subconscious mind the "anti-virus"software that it needs, to stop it from makes mistakes again. Hypnotherapy are at their best when they are collaborative. So if you don't want to be hypnotized, then you can't be hypnotized. In Malaysia, make sure the hypnotherapist belongs to one of the major governing bodies such as - The Association of Hypnotherapy Practitioners, Malaysia (AHPM) which is regulated under the FCNMAM. Yes, AHPM members must adhere to AHPM's ethical, professional and evidence-based practice guidelines.


Scammers are like a hacker. They understand how our unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) works. They identify possible exploits and hack into your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state) and put"virus" into your system either through security 'holes' and then you might make mistakes. They can find exploits by using specific technique. Some victims are easier to go into hypnotic trance state than others. Thus, those people "system" are easily hacked. Stop collaborative when you receive their call so you can't be hypnotized. 



However, there are many ways to improve your system, so you won't be hacked easily:
EEG biofeedback/neurotherapy:
Hypnotherapy works with people who are highly suggestible. Highly suggestible people tend to have certain brainwave profiles. They usually have Alphas and Thetas which can be increased easily. These brainwaves are associated with relaxation and dreaminess. That’s why hypnotherapist always ask you to relax, focus and calm down. In some people, these brain waves can increase easily, making them more vulnerable to go into hypnotic trance state. An experienced hypnotherapist (just like software engineer) or scammers(Hacker) can detect it. The good news is that EEG biofeedback therapy can train you to control your brainwaves at will. With this training, you can protect yourself from people who try to exploit your unconscious mind (hypnotic trance state).

Hypnotherapy:
Clinical hypnotherapist is just like a "software engineer" to help you reprogramming, re-education or re-training your unconscious mind. Then gives your subconscious mind the "anti-virus" software that it needs, to stop it from makes mistakes again. Yes, if you set your mind against being hypnotized, you can't be hypnotized. However, if you don't realize you're being hypnotized, and so don't know to be resistant, you can sometimes be hypnotized lightly. Thus, experienced clinical hypnotherapist able to identify or guide you to prevent being hypnotized by giving your subconscious mind the "anti-virus"software (hypnotic suggestion). Scientists have found evidence that hypnotic suggestion can modify processing of a targeted stimulus before it reaches consciousness (Suomen Akatemia, 2013). This result indicates that all hypnotic responding can no longer be regarded merely as goal directed mental imagery. It shows that in hypnosis, hypnotic suggestion is possible to create a engrams. Engrams are means by which memory traces are stored as biophysical or biochemical changes in the brain (and other neural tissue) in response to external stimuli.

[Light Sleeper Treatment Malaysia] What makes someone a light sleeper?

What makes someone a light sleeper? 

For some people, the slightest noise awakens them at night. For others, the wailing siren of a passing fire truck doesn’t disturb their slumber. Just why, though, remains a bit of a mystery. Although many people are self-proclaimed light sleepers or heavy sleepers, researchers have found that little is actually known about why people react differently to noises and other stimuli during sleep. Genetics, lifestyle choices, and undiagnosed sleep disorders may all play a role. In addition, some studies suggest that differences in brainwave activity during sleep may also make someone a light or heavy sleeper.

Light and Deep Sleep During sleep, you alternate between cycles of REM (rapid eye movement) and NREM (non-rapid eye movement) that repeat about every 90 minutes. You spend about 75 percent of the night in NREM sleep, which consists of four stages of increasing relaxation. 

Stage one, or the phase between being awake and asleep, is considered light sleep. 

Deeper sleep begins in stage two, as your breathing and heart rate become regular and your body temperature drops. 

Stages three and four are the deepest and most restorative stages of sleep, in which breathing slows, muscles relax, and tissue growth and repair occurs. 

Someone who gets eight hours of sleep a night may not experience as much slow-wave, deep sleep as the person who get six hours of sleep.

What Contributes to Light Sleep?

A small study, published in 2010 in Current Biology, suggests that differences in how sleeping people respond to noise may be related to levels of brain activity called sleep spindles. The researchers found that people whose brains produced the most of these high-frequency sleep spindles were more likely to sleep through loud noises. But more research is needed to confirm the results. Dr. Neubauer said that if someone is complaining of not feeling rested because of being a light sleeper, they should look at the factors that might be contributing to the inability to achieve a deep sleep.

Now, for the first time, sleep researchers at Harvard Medical School and Massachusetts General Hospital, led by neurologist Dr. Jeffrey Ellenbogen, have isolated the brain-wave pattern that predicts where an individual's brain has struck a balance between those demands — a window into how likely noises are to wake people from deep sleep.

For the three-night study, Ellenbogen's group invited 12 volunteers who reported being deep and healthy sleepers into a sleep lab with a comfy queen-size bed outfitted with enormous speakers at the headboard. The researchers recorded the participants' brain waves as they slept normally the first night, and then on subsequent nights as they were bombarded with 14 different noises — from the din of car traffic and the roar of airplane engines to flushing toilets and slamming doors — which were played at progressively louder volumes.

Ellenbogen paid particular attention to the patterns generated by the thalamus, a region deep in the brain that processes incoming visual and auditory stimuli. He found that the number of pulses, known as sleep spindles, generated by this organ and measured by an electroencephalogram (EEG), which records electrical activity in the brain, varied among the sleepers. Those with the highest number of spindles were able to sleep through more sounds without waking than those whose brains showed fewer spindles. "We wanted to know, if we counted the spindles the first night, did that predict anything about their subsequent sleep?" says Ellenbogen. "And indeed it did. More spindles meant they were more likely to be protected from sleep disruption."

Insomnia Treatment: 'Hypnosis helped me get to sleep'

Suzie, a chronic insomniac, turned to hypnosis after acupuncture, yoga, herbal teas and a regimented bedtime ritual failed to get her to sleep.

Through internet research, Suzie learnt how hypnotism could tackle the deep-seated issues disrupting her sleep.

She went on a self-hypnosis training programme, which consisted of five one-to-one sessions at University College London's Hypnosis Unit.

However, tests carried out at the unit suggested that Suzie may have a low level of hypnotic-suggestibility, meaning that she could not easily be hypnotised.

Her consultant, Dr Valerie Walters, decided to work on self-hypnosis techniques in an attempt to lower Suzie's adrenalin level, improve her ability to relax, reduce her anxious thoughts and prepare her body for sleep.

Anxiety as a barrier to sleep

"It was clear that anxiety was a problem," says Dr Walters. "High levels of adrenalin make it difficult to sleep."

Dr Walters says the self-hypnosis techniques, which all involve mental imagery, are adapted to the individual's own strengths.

In Suzie's case, visual imagery and sense of touch were important in creating a comfort zone, and triggering "good feelings".

"The theory is that if she can relax in that place, she can learn to have that same feeling in other situations," says Dr Walters.

For Suzie, the self-hypnosis techniques were particularly helpful, such as the scenario where she imagines that she's blowing bubbles in a relaxing setting of her choosing.

"The exercises have improved my concentration," she says. "At work, I'll do the bubble-blowing exercises between tasks.

"They make me more focused on what I'm doing. I'd even do them on the train. I can feel an immediate relaxation."

Sleep relaxation techniques

Another relaxation aid was the "favourite place" exercise, which was also based on Suzie's personal experiences.

"I'm lying in a hammock in my parents' garden," she says. "I'm reading a book or sleeping. It's sunny and really peaceful.

"To reach my favourite place, I walk down some steps and feel the warm stones under my bare feet. I get in the hammock and feel the book. A cat wanders over with its tail in the air. Then a dog comes to rest near me."

Dr Walters says it's important to suggest details, such as touch, and "actually feel" the comfort of the hammock.

She also worked on changing Suzie's attitude to sleep. "Suzie saw her anxiety as a permanent thing," she says. "That contributed to her problem."

Suzie thought that she could only fall asleep in complete silence, but she lived in a shared household, so this belief raised her anxiety.

In one relaxation technique, you imagine that you're breathing through your feet. You feel the breath move slowly up the body, down the arms and out of the hands.

"Hypnosis provided me with answers," Suzie says. "But it's not an overnight solution. I've learnt techniques, and it's up to me to keep working on them."

Neuro-hypnotherapy is first of its kind in Malaysia developed by myself by combining technology and art of science which is best of two worlds. It is a safe, non-invasive, drug-free and painless procedure whereby one is able to determine the brainwave state while conducting the neuro-hypnotherapy. To analyse the brainwaves, I use the neurotherapy technology, whereby one can observe the brainwave going into different state such as delta, theta, alpha and beta brainwave while the suggestion is being given by the hypnotherapist during the therapy session, personalized self-hypnosis method will be developed based on the brainwave observation.

[Review] Anxiety management Malaysia: Neuro-hypnotherapy helped me to fall asleep faster and reduce anxiety symptoms

ST (40 years old), a highly anxious woman, turned to neuro-hypnotherapy when everything else failed. Through medical doctor advice, she learnt how neuro-hypnotherapy could deal with the issues that disrupting her sleep pattern. 
Before she was undergoing therapeutic sessions for her own anxiety symptoms, she obtained the score of 41 (High anxiety) on Beck Anxiety Inventory. At the end of her neuro-hypnotherapy session, her score reduced to 13(Low Anxiety) on Beck Anxiety Inventory.
The Pittsburgh Sleep Quality Index (PSQI) is designed to measure sleep quality and disturbance over a 1-month period. All scores are combined according to the scoring criteria included with the form to produce a Global PSQI Score. Scores above 5 indicate clinically meaningfully disturbed or poor sleep. The global score on the PSQI was reduced significantly from 10 (very poor sleep quality) to 4 (better sleep quality).




ST:
I can't stop worrying about death and dying. I've been constantly imagining about death and how then everyone will care about me. I can't sleep because I'm afraid I'm going to die. My medical doctor told me to avoid taking sleeping pills because he knows how addictive they can be.
The other thing is I always have a horrible sharp pain under my shoulder, My medical doctor gave me painkiller and advised me to see a mental health care professional.

I met Hiro Koo during a corporate health talk. After the EEG brainwaves analysis session, I know myself better and able to find a way to treat the root cause of my issues. I choose the neuro-hypnotherapy because my issues can be managed without medications and no side effects.

The biggest difference before and after neuro-hypnotherapy? Well, now it takes me 15 minutes on average to fall asleep! Previously, it takes more than 30 minutes for me to fall asleep. I become happier, less fearful about death, less anxious and feel calmer than ever.
I also learned personalized self hypnosis method from Hiro Koo for pain management. I see a very noticeable improvement after a month of treatment. Absolutely no pain now with no noticeable side effects. I am impressed!

I would definitely recommend your services to any friend who need help. I am very pleased with neuro-hypnotherapy, which have significantly improved the functions of my health and quality of my life. I am very thankful to Hiro Koo for good help at the needful time.

Hypnosis for Weight Loss Malaysia 马来西亚催眠瘦身

Hypnosis may be best known as the party trick used to make people do the chicken dance on stage, but more and more people are turning to the mind-control technique to help them make healthier choices and lose weight. Case in point: When Georgia, 28, decided she needed to lose the 30 or so pounds she put on after foot surgery in 2009, the dieting veteran turned to hypnosis. The mind-control technique had helped her overcome a fear of flying in the past, and she hoped it would help her make "fundamental changes" to her habits.

At first the self-proclaimed foodie was surprised by her hypnotherapist's recommendations. "[She had] four simple agreements to which I would need to adhere: Eat when you're hungry, listen to your body and eat what you crave, stop when you're full, eat slowly and enjoy every mouthful. As such, no foods were off limits and I was encouraged to eat everything in moderation—music to my ears!"

As the treatments progressed—Georgia saw her hypnotherapist about 8 times over a 1-year period—she saw measureable improvement. "The weight dropped off slowly and surely, without huge changes to my lifestyle. I was still eating out numerous times a week, but often sending plates back with food on them! For the first time ever, I was really tasting my food, spending time to take in flavours and textures. Almost ironically, it was as if I had recommenced my love affair with food… only I was able to lose weight doing so." In between appointments she adds that she did her best to maintain her new healthy habits.

Dispelling the myth that hypnosis feels "weird" or out of control, she says, "Under hypnosis, I always feel very lucid and still in control." But there were funny moments like when was told to visualize stepping on the scale and seeing her goal weight. "My overly creative mind had to first imagine myself removing all clothes, every bit of jewelry/watch/hair clip and jumping on in the nude (anyone else do that, or is it just me?!)." (Side note: No, it's not just you Georgia!)

Two years later she has happily maintained her weight loss, occasionally checking back in with her hypnotherapist when she needs a refresher. "Overall, I found hypnotherapy to be a great way of readjusting my habits and really enjoyed the flexibility and inherent 'sensibleness' of the whole approach."

• Increased alertness
• Improved mood
• Improved performance, including quicker reaction time, better memory, less confusion, and fewer accidents and mistakes

What are the drawbacks to napping?

Napping isn't for everyone. Some people have trouble sleeping in places other than their own beds, while others simply can't sleep during the day. Napping can also have negative effects, such as:

• Sleep inertia. You might feel groggy and disoriented after waking up from a nap.
• Nighttime sleep problems. Short naps generally don't affect nighttime sleep quality for most people. However, if you experience insomnia or poor sleep quality at night, napping might worsen these problems. Long naps might interfere with nighttime sleep.
