About

Dear Friends and Readers,

I would like to welcome you to this site and hope you enjoy your visit. I will be updating this website shortly and will be adding some features to let you enroll in a newsletter and obtain a number of chapters of my books which I have not yet published. I have a couple of new titles that I am working on at the moment — one a short book on weight loss hypnosis and another rather longer one on nutrition. I will add the new features as soon as I get a little time so please check the site again in a few days.

Sitting down and writing makes you think about things very differently. Two things have struck me over the last few weeks. First, how when we think about our body we rarely consider how the mind influences it — likewise when we consider the mind we rarely consider the subtle influence our body has on our thoughts. This has a real impact in every day things we do or wish to do: like how we learn, whether we gain weight or lose it, how healthy we are and whether we are happy or not. We need to be considered holistically not as separate parts.

Second I have been thinking about the extraordinary insight of the Polish scientist Alfred Alfred Korzybski who said “The map is not the territory.” One way of interpreting his words is that what we mostly believe should not be mistaken for the real world. Our skill at exploring and redefining that map is what gives us power over ourselves and as well as “reality.” When able to do this effectively human beings all have abilities that they would find amazing – in fact, the key to unlocking this mystery is easier than you may think.
