Discover Help for Panic Attacks through Hypnosis

2011-04-28T08:37:00.000-07:00

Do any of the following situations sound familiar? You are driving in congested traffic and have to come to a sudden stop as a careless driver cuts right in front of you. All of a sudden, you are finding it difficult to breathe and you feel trapped in your own car. You are engaged in a screaming match with your spouse or partner and, seemingly out of nowhere, you begin to experience chest pains and dizziness. You are alone on an elevator and it comes to a screeching halt between floors. In the two minutes that the elevator takes to resume proper function, you have convinced yourself that you are going to die in that small space and no one will notice for weeks. If you found yourself nodding your head to any of these scenarios, or you have experienced something similar, you may have had a panic attack.

There are around three million people in the United States who suffer from panic attacks, so please know that you are not alone. Panic attacks are described as one of the most distressing and terrifying conditions that a person can experience, as the symptoms can appear so suddenly and often mimic those of a heart attack or a nervous breakdown. While these attacks can last from a few seconds to several hours, most times the symptoms will exhibit themselves for about thirty minutes. There is no doubt that this half-hour of time can seem like an eternity for someone in the midst of a panic attack’s grips.

What are some indications that you may be experiencing a panic attack? The symptoms may include; a racing or pounding heartbeat, nausea, difficulty breathing, hot flashes, trembling or shaking, feeling of choking, and fear of losing control or dying. With this in mind, it is no wonder that many first-time sufferers contact their local emergency room as quickly as possible!

There are many reasons that certain people are more inclined to suffer from panic attacks. Panic disorders have been shown to run in families, so certainly heredity must be considered. Men and women with strong phobias may experience a panic attack when confronted with the situation or object they fear so greatly. The withdrawal process from alcohol, drugs, or other medications can cause an onset of panic as the effects of the substances leave the body. Finally, and perhaps a cause that is not considered often, a lack of assertiveness in an individual can cause panic attacks. When you engage in passive communication with others, you may be holding in important emotions that eventually explode in the form of an attack. While this is not an exhaustive list, many people who suffer from panic attacks will find one of these issues as the source of their condition.

There is a safe and effective method for bringing an end to the panic attacks that cripple your life. A trained clinical hypnotherapist can introduce you to relaxation techniques that will unlock the initial source of your attack and remove that connection in your mind. You will no longer have to live in fear that certain situations or people will trigger another traumatic episode.

"The Soul"

2010-08-30T07:31:00.000-07:00

Say not, "I have found the truth," but rather, "I have found a truth." Say not, "I have found the path of the soul." Say rather, "I have met the soul walking upon my path." For the soul walks upon all paths. The soul walks not upon a line, neither does it grow like a reed. The soul unfolds itself, like a lotus of ...countless petals. ~ Gibran

You and The World

Relationships

Relationships are like glass. Sometimes it's better to leave them broken than try to hurt yourself putting it back together.

Things that make you go HMMMM!

2010-08-19T14:48:00.000-07:00

Why is it that when a person tells you there's over a million stars in the universe you believe them, but if someone tells you there's wet paint somewhere, you have to touch it to make sure?

Some Inspirational Thoughts from Shayn Cutino

2010-08-18T14:39:00.000-07:00

Remember that you are braver than you believe, stronger than you seem, and smarter than you think!

There are many things in life that will catch your eye but only a few will catch your heart. Pursue those!

Whether it's the best of times or the worst of times, it's the only time we have.

If you haven't all the things you want, be grateful for the things you don't have that you wouldn't want.

If you're not sure where you're going, you'll probably end up somewhere else

Kindness

"We can all be as Great as we Want to be"

2010-06-23T12:21:00.000-07:00

We can all be as great as we want to be. If we believe in ourselves and have the courage, the determination, the dedication, the competitive drive and if we are willing to sacrifice the little things in life and pay the price for the things that are worthwhile, it can be done.

"Growth Direction"

2010-06-20T11:43:00.000-07:00

Growth is not a steady, forward, upward progression. It is instead a switchback trail; three steps forward, two steps back, one around the bushes, and a few simply standing, before another forward leap.

The soul is dyed the color of its thoughts. Think only on those things that are in line with your principles and can bear the light of day. The content of your character is your choice. Day by day, what you do is who you become.

Going Down the Wrong Lane

2010-05-28T08:32:00.000-07:00

When every thing's coming your way, you're in the wrong lane.

Shayn Cutino Interviewed By Jane Genova - Over 50 Coach

2010-05-17T07:26:00.000-07:00

"I knew I didn't want to work for physicians the rest of my life," Shayn Cutino, licensed clinical hypotherapist in corporate wellness

Our sixth Fifty-Over-50 finalist is Shayn Cutino. Like many of us who have made major career shifts, this California-based entrepreneur began discovering what she wanted by taking inventory of what she didn't want any more. At the top of the list was being someone's employee, particularly if the employer was a physician. After that, the steps toward becoming self-employed became clear, though not easy.

Today, Cutino is a licensed clinical hypnotherapist, HHP, CCHT. She specializes in Corporate Wellness programs. Within that niche her most in-demand services are stress management, weight loss, and smoking cessation. In addition, she is a valued player on the lecture circuit.

Exclusive Interview with Shayn Cutino:

JG: In your own words, what do you do for a living and how did you come to doing that?

SC: Jane, essentially I am a Behavioral Therapist who specializes in Clinical Hypnotherapy. In addition, I work as a Certified Life and Business Coach.

My journey began about seven years ago when I knew that I didn't want to work for physicians for the rest of my life. I was and am passionate about helping people. So I decided to go back to school to study psychology and coaching.

That was an exciting time. That's because I was preparing for the opportunity to make a living for myself while doing something that I absolutely loved. I am proud to say that I completed my education, I opened my own counseling practice, hung the shingle out, and haven't looked back since.

JG: What other things have you've done to earn a living?

SC: My background is primarily in the healthcare field. But prior to getting into the medical field I was in the clothing (rag) business and had worked as a sales representative marketing clothing to large retail stores such as Mervyns. That was a great business and gave me a wide range of experiences with people.

JG: What are you observing about what it takes to earn a good living?

SC: To make a good living in these current times, we need to think outside the box, find a niche, and also have a clear message for our services and/or products. We need to be motivated and have the ability to know exactly what our skills are and then keep challenging ourselves. We also need to stand out from the crowd and to keep reminding ourselves as well as our customers/clients that we are on top of it and that our age is an advantage.

JG: What obstacles do we over-50 tend to put in our own ways?

SC: Some may believe that they no longer have the energy it takes to run a business or that it is simply too late for them as they approach the golden years. But we are a resilient group and right now the 55-64 crowd is the fastest growing group of entrepreneurs ever in history. So, in spite of some obstacles, the majority are aware of their lifetime of knowledge and skills and are itching to use them.

JG: Where do you sense the professional opportunities will emerge in this era?

SC: Professional opportunities will continue to emerge in the nutrition industry as well as the coaching, health and wellness ones. Keeping fit, eating healthy, exercising, and staying on track are top priority for most people.

JG: Where will your next career steps be?

SC: Currently I am re-working my business plan to establish focus and clarify the ultimate goal of providing workshops and seminars guiding people toward life-work balance and to teach them ways to reduce their stress levels.

I also plan another book over the next couple years. It will focus on the power of the subconscious mind and how we can change our thinking to create the life we have always dreamed about.

JG: For those who don't live in California, how do they have access to your products and services?

SC: They can order my custom-made Hypnosis CD or phone for a consultation.

JG: How can they reach you?

SC: A number of ways:

"Believe in Yourself"

2010-05-15T07:00:00.000-07:00

Constantly keep yourself headed in the right direction for you. It may not be easy at times, but in those times of struggle you will find a stronger sense of who you are. When the days come that are filled with frustration and unexpected responsibilities -remember to believe in yourself and all you want your life to be.... These challenges will serve you to find the goals that you know are meant to come true for you.

Full of Love

2010-05-14T06:54:00.000-07:00

Today I will make an effort to respect myself. I will not run in search of love. I will be present with myself. Because I realize I am all I need and already full of love.

Espavo.

Life and Work

2010-05-10T06:49:00.000-07:00

It is the amount of love and of heart that you put into your life and your work that will ultimately determine how beautiful and how successful it will become.

Be Silent.........

2010-05-08T12:00:00.000-07:00

Be silent. Silence will help you avoid engaging in the games of competition and illusion that

seduces us in the outside world. Silence helps to focus the busy mind -the mind that always has

to be doing something, thinking something, the mind that has to be otherwise engaged. The

silence I am describing is a silence ...that you use to contain the grace you recieve when you

enter the Castle of your soul.

"Solutions"

2010-05-02T07:46:00.000-07:00

We look for solutions in many places, but where is the solution? The solution is in the human heart.

Listen to People's Stories.........

2010-04-30T08:08:00.000-07:00

"Listen to people's stories and they could all be entitled 'Why I Cannot Be At Peace Now'. The ego doesn't know that your only opportunity for being at peace is now. Or maybe it does know and is afraid you may find this out. Peace, after all, is the end of the ego." - Tolle

You were Meant to swim in the Oceans....

2010-04-29T08:03:00.000-07:00

How deeply do you allow yourself to breathe in the sweet smell of life? You were meant to swim in the oceans, climb the mountains and walk along babbling brooks. You are in physical form and it is so very important to celebrate your body, for it houses your amazing spirit.

Some Things From Shayn Cutino that Will Make you Think

2010-04-24T05:57:00.000-07:00

Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why I can!

If your still talking about what you did yesterday - then you haven't done much today!

We must not, in trying to think about how we can make a big difference, ignore the small daily differences we can make which, over time, add up to big differences that we often cannot foresee.

Speading the light

2010-04-22T05:35:00.000-07:00

There are two ways of spreading light ...either be the candle, or the mirror that reflects it.

Balance

2010-04-21T05:51:00.000-07:00

The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you have lost it.

Respect Yourself

2010-04-20T05:42:00.000-07:00

The forgiving heart is capable of anything. I believe that deep within my soul. That's where, in terms of becoming an empowered individual......you get to the point where you finally realize that you can look at someone and say "I love myself enough.....not in a Hallmark moment way or in a garbage sense way.......I'm talking respecting myself...to respect the life-force enough to no longer waste it."

Shayn Cutino Cuts the Ribbon for "Shelly"s Garden"

2010-04-17T07:16:00.000-07:00

"Shelly's Garden Ribbon Cutting"
By:Brentwood, California Chamber of Commerce

Some of Shayn Cutino's Words that Make us Really Think!

2010-04-15T07:07:00.000-07:00

"We do not see things as they are. We see them as we are."

"There" is no better than "Here". When your "There" has become a "Here", you will simply obtain another "There" that will again look better than "Here".

"When intuition and logic agree, you are always right. "

"The key to keeping your balance is knowing when you have lost it."

Don't go Through Life so Fast

2010-04-04T09:52:00.000-07:00

Don't go through life so fast that you forget not only where you have been, but also where you are going. Life is not a race, but a journey to be savoured each step of the way.

A Bend in the Road

2010-04-01T09:11:00.000-07:00

2010-03-28T09:27:00.000-07:00

We all know that losing weight can be a difficult challenge, even under the best of circumstances. Many people are turning to gastric bypass surgery also known as the Lap Band procedure. This procedure creates a smaller stomach pouch that only allows you to eat a few mouthfuls of food before you feel full. The obvious here is the less you eat over the course of several months you will lose considerable amounts of weight. Let’s face it though; the risks of surgery are high. The rate of death from having gastric bypass surgery can be as high as one in every 200 patients. This number is not including the much higher complication rate.

Now there is a better solution and it is called Gastric Band Weight Loss. Utilizing the power of the mind, you can have a “mental” gastric band fitted so that you can begin to lose weight without having to risk your life. This process involves the visualization of having the gastric bypass procedure. The subconscious mind then believes that there has actually been a major reduction in the stomachs capacity and your body begins to respond differently to hunger.

You will be using the unlimited part of your mind to begin to lose incredible amounts of weight. You will eat far less than you have before and will feel full after eating. You will realize that potion control is the key to weight loss as you continue to loss the weight that you really no longer want or need anymore.

We all know that some stress is good, but excessive stress interferes with productivity as well as emotional and physical health. Fortunately there is a lot that can be done to manage and reduce stress at work.
As a stress management consultant, I offer cost-saving solutions to keep employees healthy and increase production.

Stress Overload
It’s important to learn to recognize when stress levels are out of control. The most dangerous thing about stress is how easily it can creep up on you. The signs and symptoms of stress overload can be almost anything from memory problems to sleeping too much or too little. When stress on the job is interfering with the ability to work it’s time to take action. The better employees feel the better equipped they’ll be to manage work stress without becoming overwhelmed.

The Stress Solution
It is always in a company’s best interest to keep stress levels in the workplace at a minimum. There are organizational changes that both managers and employees can make to replace workplace stress.

G-R-A-T-I-T-U-D-E

2010-03-20T23:04:00.000-07:00

Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns

denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a

house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for

today, and creates a vision for tomorrow.

- Beattie

2010-03-18T22:55:00.000-07:00

Live with intention.

Walk to the edge.

Listen quietly.

Practice wellness.

Play with abandon.

Laugh loudly.

Choose with no regret.

Appreciate your friends.

Continue to learn.

Do what you love.

Live as if this is all there is.

Backwards

2010-03-16T22:45:00.000-07:00

Often people attempt to live their lives backwards: they try to have more things, or more

money in order to do what they want so they will be happier. The way it really works is the

reverse. You must first be who you really are, then, do what you need to do in order to have

what you want.

We are not held back by the love we didn't receive in the past, but by the love we're not extending into the present.

If there were ever a time to dare, to make a difference, to embark on something worth doing, it is now. Not for any grand cause, but for something that tugs at your heart, something that's your aspiration, something that's your dream.You owe it to yourself to make your days on ythis earth count so breathe, dig deep, stretch and dream BIG!

It is because we are different that each of us are special. Don't set your goals by what other people deem important. Only do what is best for you.

Unable to cope life?

2010-03-05T05:51:00.000-08:00

When you feel unable to cope with life, remember the impermanence of all things. Every situation you experience, every person you know and every cell of your body is in a state of constant change.Things only appear to remain the same. Get into the habit of contemplating impermanence. and be grateful for each moment and breath you have.

Shayn Cutino - President of the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce

2010-03-04T16:43:00.000-08:00

As President of the Brentwood Chamber of Commerce I am increasingly aware of how much stress small businesses and individuals are dealing with on a daily basis. I hear about it everyday. “I don’t know how I am going to keep my doors open”. “My family is really worried about me because I work 16 hour days”. STRESS!

Most of us know that, while some stress is good for us – it keeps the engine tuned and makes life interesting, chronic, unmitigated stress wears down the immune system and organ systems, impedes peak functioning, muddies thinking and decision making, and doesn’t exactly make maintaining relationships a walk in the park either.

As a Professional I facilitate small businesses and individuals achieve that life-work balance through Guided Imagery. Guided Imagery has been found to provide significant stress benefits which include physically relaxing the body as well as assisting participants to get in touch with deeper levels of wisdom which are held on the subconscious level. Guided Imagery is an excellent option for stress management.

Think about this: Guided Imagery is easier than exercise or yoga, especially for those with physical limitations and it has no risk or side effects like some medical or herbal remedies. Guided imagery is an effective supplement to conventional medicine.

Seasonal Allergies – The AhChoooo Factor !

2010-02-18T16:53:00.000-08:00

Watery eyes? Sneezing? Stuffy nose? Sound familiar? If you find yourself with any of these symptoms, you’re probably aware that you have allergies. According to the American Academy of Allergy, Asthma and Immunology, more than 20% of the U.S. population – adults and children – have an allergic condition, making allergies the sixth-leading cause of chronic disease. Of those, more than 15 million have asthma and 40 million experience chronic allergic rhinitis or its seasonal counterpart, hay fever, each year.

Conventional medicine currently offers treatment options that provide temporary relief of allergy symptoms. Alternative medical practitioners, however, have found that by correcting the underlying causes of allergies, most allergy symptoms can be eliminated for good. Modifying your diet and restoring your normal immune-defense functions may help you breathe, eat, and live allergy-free again.

An allergen (a substance provoking an allergy symptom) is a protein that the body determines to be foreign and unsafe. The adverse reaction that follows is called “an allergic reaction”. Common symptoms include breathing congestion, sneezing, coughing, itching, swelling, hives and bloodshot or scratchy eyes. Allergies fall into two basic categories, those caused by environmental factors and those caused by food. Let’s take a look at both.

The most common cause of allergies caused by outdoor environmental factors are the pollen of various plants such as trees, weeds and grass. We as a society spend up to 90% of our time indoors and because of this trend; indoor irritants are triggering more cases of allergic hay fever than outdoor sources.

The most common include house dust mites, molds and tobacco smoke. Less common, but equally serious, are products such as cosmetics, perfumes, household cleaning agents and even the fabrics in our clothes. There are numerous synthetic chemicals in personal hygiene products, cleaning supplies and building supplies that contain additional irritants which could cause allergic reactions. Chemical sensitivity is a modern phenomenon, partially due to pesticides found in food and heavy metals in water.

Interestingly enough, most adverse reactions to foods are sensitivities, not true allergies. The U.S. Department of Agriculture report that 15% of the total population suffers from reactions to food. Of that number, 1.5% experience true, antibody-medicated allergies: the remaining 13.5% suffer from food sensitivities. The foods most commonly found to cause allergies include wheat, corn, milk, tomatoes, soy, shellfish, peanuts, chocolate (sorry ladies), egg whites and other dairy products as well as food dyes and additives.

According to a study conducted by the New England Foundation for Allergies and Environmental Disease, diets of most allergy patients, which consist of 30 foods or less, are eaten repeatedly. For example, if someone eats wheat bread everyday, they could easily develop a wheat allergy due to the immune systems continuous exposure to it. Now there’s some food for thought!

Here are some allergy prevention strategies:

• Adopt a diet that includes a wide variety of non allergenic fresh fruits, vegetables, seeds and nuts and low-fat, nondairy products.

• Stay well hydrated by drinking at least eight to twelve 8oz glasses of pure water daily

•Rotate your food by not eating any one food more often than every four days

•Keep windows closed, especially during allergy season

•Avoid tobacco smoke

•Achieve ideal relative humidity in the home

•Avoid or limit wheat, dairy products, and alcohol.

•Take a good, all round antioxidant supplement containing vitamins A, C
and E, beta-carotene, selenium, zinc plus the amino acids cysteine or glutathione, which help to increase your resistance.

.Use cleaning products that list their natural ingredients on the label and purchase cleaners containing non-petroleum-based surfactants.

These are some of the things you can do naturally to improve your health and your life. Although having allergies is certainly uncomfortable, it doesn’t have to be miserable.

Please free to contact me if you have any questions or if you can add any more helpful

as we come upon the toughest time of the year.

Thanks,

"Intuition"

2010-02-18T16:30:00.000-08:00

Intuition is knowing without words, sensing the truth without explanations. It operates beyond time and space and is a link to your higher self. It often speaks to you as the playful child that would lure you away from a harder path to a more joyful one. Your intuition is always leading you toward aliveness and joy, and out of stuck places.

Seasonal Affective Disorder – SAD? Walk Away from the Blues - Part 1

2010-02-17T05:45:00.000-08:00

Seasonal affective disorder is a cyclical depression that occurs during the winter months, typically between November and March. It is brought on by insufficient exposure to light. As the days start to get shorter and the angle of the sun changes, the symptoms of SAD begin to appear.

It is estimated that 20% of the American adult population, or 36 million people, are affected by SAD every year. The further you live from the equator, the more susceptible you are.

As the seasons change from spring and summer to fall and winter, do you develop any of the following symptoms?

o Diminished productivity or creativity?
o Feeling that you have little or no control over your appetite or weight?
o More memory and concentration problems?
o Lower energy than usual?
o Lowered interest in socializing?
o Awakening feeling tired even though you are sleeping more?
o Mood changes such as feeling more anxious, irritable, sad, or depressed?
o Lessened ability to cope with stress?
o Less enthusiasm about the future or reduced enjoyment in your life?

If you answered yes to two or more of these, you may be one of the many people affected by SAD.

SAD can be aggravated by reduced light outside during winter months and by spending too much time in indoor environments that have low levels of light, whether at home or at work. SAD symptoms have been reported during summer months from people who work in environments without windows. They can also occur in overly sensitive individuals at any time of year after a series of cloudy days.

The 3 brain chemicals serotonin, norepinephrine and dopamine affect how we feel, our energy level and mood. During the winter month’s people with SAD tend to crave sweets and carbs. Eating large amounts of carbs usually increases the amount of tryptophan (an essential amino acid derived from protein foods) that gets into the brain. Once in the brain, the tryptophan becomes serotonin, the neurotransmitter that is so critical to psychological well-being. So, if you tend to be drawn to sweets and starches in the winter months it may be your body’s attempt to raise your levels of serotonin.

Seasonal Affective Disorder – SAD? Walk Away from the Blues Part 2

2010-02-17T04:13:00.000-08:00

If you have been diagnosed with SAD, here are some suggestions:

• Get as much light as possible and avoid dark environments during daylight hours in winter.

• Discuss your symptoms with your physician. If diagnosed with SAD, they may prescribe special light treatments to help relieve your symptoms.

• Move that body – Exercise daily, preferably outdoors taking advantage of the natural light.

• Rearrange work spaces near a window, or set up bright lights in your work area.

• Stay on a regular sleep-wake cycle. It has been reported that people with SAD feel more alert when they stick to a regular schedule.

• Be aware of cold temperatures and dress to conserve your energy. Many people affected by seasonal changes are more sensitive to extreme temperatures.

• Avoid or minimize unnecessary stress.

• When possible, postpone making major life changes until spring or summer.

• If possible, arrange your vacation during the winter months in a warm and sunny climate.

• Set up a timer in your bedroom to switch on the lights a half an hour or more before you get up. This technique has been reported to have an antidepressant effect and actually help people awaken more easily.

• Eat a good diet. Choose lean proteins such as those found in lean meat, poultry (without skin), fish, eggs, beans and low-fat dairy products. When choosing carbohydrate foods go for the whole grain varieties as much as possible including bread, pasta and rice. Eat ample salads and vegetables as well as fruit daily.

There’s no known way to prevent the development of SAD. However, if you take steps early on to manage symptoms, you may be able to prevent them from getting worse over time. By gaining control over symptoms before they begin, you may be able to head off the serious changes in mood, appetite and behavior that can disrupt your daily life.

Happy Valentine's Day to all my friends and new friends I hope to meet!

Our Challenges and Tests - To Change is to Mature

2010-01-24T11:14:00.000-08:00

This has not been the easiest of times, with challenges and tests upon our health, finances and material life.

Let us speak of peace

2010-01-12T07:03:00.000-08:00

Let us speak of peace. Peace is not something that we should fight for. Peace is not something that we strive for. Peace is something that is in existence. We step into peace and we exist in peace. So now I ask all of you - step into peace

2010-01-08T13:50:00.000-08:00

Be the solution for which you have asked. Be the solution for which so many ask for today. As you do - teach them to claim the same authority - not as a privilege but as a true purpose of their soul.
