<p>Last week, I was lucky enough to see <a data-mce-href="https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/matt-heath-tyler-adams-afternoons/audio/newstalk-zb-s-matt-heath-meets-coldplay-s-chris-martin-backstage-at-final-eden-park-show/" href="https://www.newstalkzb.co.nz/on-air/matt-heath-tyler-adams-afternoons/audio/newstalk-zb-s-matt-heath-meets-coldplay-s-chris-martin-backstage-at-final-eden-park-show/">Coldplay live in Auckland</a>, and wow—what an experience! The lights, the music, the energy—it all hit in a way I didn’t expect. But as I stood there, singing along with thousands of people, something deeper clicked for me: the incredible power of words, music, and positive energy to heal.</p><p>As a hypnotist, I’ve always believed in the transformative potential of words. What we say to ourselves and others has the ability to lift us up or hold us back. And Coldplay? They get it. Every lyric feels like a little reminder of hope, love, and resilience.</p><figure id="figure-xjrea15r4nm3mfvstx"><img id="xjrea15r4nm3mfvstx" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1623439653166-351fab506eb5?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxjb2xkcGxheXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MzE4OTg5MTh8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="coldplay hypnosis" title="coldplay hypnosis" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1623439653166-351fab506eb5?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHw1fHxjb2xkcGxheXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MzE4OTg5MTh8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>The Healing Power of Words</h2><p><br>Chris Martin’s voice echoed through the stadium, singing words like:</p><p>“When you feel so tired but you can't sleep, stuck in reverse...”<br>Sound familiar? We’ve all been there—feeling stuck, weighed down by life’s challenges. But then comes the shift:</p><p>“Lights will guide you home…”<br>It’s not just a lyric; it’s a promise. A reminder that even in the darkest moments, there’s light waiting to guide us. This is exactly what <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/">I work with in hypnosis</a>—using positive suggestions to gently guide the mind from “stuck” to “free.”</p><figure id="figure-uombvt1olfm3mfx0ly"><img id="uombvt1olfm3mfx0ly" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1603166868295-4ae2cba14063?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOHx8aGVhbGluZ3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MzE4OTg5OTl8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" alt="healing " title="healing " class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1603166868295-4ae2cba14063?crop=entropy&amp;cs=tinysrgb&amp;fit=max&amp;fm=jpg&amp;ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxOHx8aGVhbGluZ3xlbnwwfHx8fDE3MzE4OTg5OTl8MA&amp;ixlib=rb-4.0.3&amp;q=80&amp;w=1080" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: undefined undefined;"></figure><h2>Music, Hypnosis, and Positive Thinking</h2><p><br>Hypnosis and music have something in common: they both work on a subconscious level. Music can shift your mood instantly, like how "Fix You" feels like a warm hug when you need it most. Hypnosis works similarly, but with intentional words and suggestions tailored to your unique needs.</p><p>Imagine replacing negative self-talk with uplifting words that help you believe in yourself. Through hypnosis, we can plant those positive seeds—just like Coldplay’s songs do—so they grow into something beautiful.</p><h2>Auckland’s Dose of Positivity</h2><p><br>That Coldplay concert felt like a massive group therapy session, with thousands of strangers united in positivity. It reminded me of what hypnosis sessions can feel like: a safe space to release what’s holding you back and embrace a brighter mindset.</p><p>Here in Auckland, we’ve all been through a lot lately. Life throws its punches, but I truly believe that with the right tools—whether it’s a Coldplay song or a hypnosis session—healing is always within reach.</p><figure id="figure-f1d7mhhvipvm3mfyr2f"><img id="f1d7mhhvipvm3mfyr2f" src="https://images.unsplash.com/photo-1629573818775-0f28eccf0b7d?crop=entropy&cs=tinysrgb&fit=max&fm=jpg&ixid=M3wyNjI5NjF8MHwxfHNlYXJjaHwxMXx8cG9zaXRpdml0eXxlbnwwfHx8fDE3MzE4OTkwMzR8MA&ixlib=rb-4.0.3&q=80&w=1080" alt="pink and white wooden signage" title="pink and white wooden signage" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionX="undefined" data-positionY="undefined" data-fullWidth="false"/></figure><h3>Ready to Create Your Own Inner Light?</h3><p><br>If Coldplay taught me anything, it’s that words matter. Whether sung in a stadium or spoken during a hypnosis session, they have the power to transform. If you’re ready to let go of negativity and start creating your own “guiding light,” let’s work together.</p><p>Because <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/contact" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/contact">everyone deserves to feel the magic of healing</a>—through music, through words, and through life.</p>

<h2>Mental Health: It's Time To Talk About It</h2><p><br>You're not alone. Seriously, mental health is a big deal. Millions of people are dealing with things like anxiety, depression, even more complex conditions like PTSD or bipolar disorder. It can feel overwhelming, and that's why it's so important to acknowledge the impact of mental health on everyday life.</p><p>We're bombarded with messages about our physical health, but mental health can feel like a taboo subject. Think about it, how often do you hear friends or family talking openly about their mental wellbeing?</p><figure id="figure-a2cqsgudw5lzvtphnq"><img id="a2cqsgudw5lzvtphnq" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1613148057/photo/mental-health.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=IJ45G49wydJroEcfJR_ABv2gNvFLzQRKZPuXTstDs_w=" alt="Yellow September: mental health" title="Yellow September: mental health" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1613148057/photo/mental-health.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=IJ45G49wydJroEcfJR_ABv2gNvFLzQRKZPuXTstDs_w=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h2>Let's change that.</h2><h3>What is Mental Health?</h3><p><br>It's not just the absence of mental illness. Think of it as a spectrum. <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary">We all have moments where we feel stressed</a> or down. But mental health is about feeling good emotionally, psychologically and socially. It's about being able to handle life's ups and downs, coping with challenges, and feeling connected to others.</p><h3>Common Mental Health Conditions</h3><p><br>There are lots of different mental health conditions, each with its own unique symptoms. Here's a quick look at some of the most common ones:</p><p><strong>Anxiety</strong>: Feeling nervous or worried, often about things that haven't even happened yet. You might experience physical symptoms like a racing heart, sweating, or difficulty sleeping.<br><strong>Depression</strong>: Feeling sad, hopeless, and losing interest in things you used to enjoy. You might have trouble concentrating, feel tired all the time, or have changes in your appetite.<br><strong>Bipolar Disorder</strong>: Experiencing extreme mood swings, from periods of intense energy and euphoria (mania) to periods of deep sadness and depression.<br><strong>PTSD (Post-Traumatic Stress Disorder)</strong>: A condition that can develop after a traumatic experience, leading to flashbacks, nightmares, avoidance of triggers, and emotional numbness.<br>OCD (Obsessive-Compulsive Disorder): Having persistent, unwanted thoughts (obsessions) that lead to repetitive behaviours (compulsions) to try and reduce anxiety.<br><strong>Schizophrenia</strong>: A serious mental illness that affects a person's ability to think, feel, and behave clearly. It can involve hallucinations, delusions, and disorganized thinking.</p><figure id="figure-5w2lr7mq8elzvtqcge"><img id="5w2lr7mq8elzvtqcge" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1792660420/photo/gratitude-support-group-hug-and-woman-counseling-for-drug-abuse-and-mental-health-problem.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=NxQ2m7mTkOyi8cV2mj7h6FvdWwlem81eqSQsgZ8g3nY=" alt="Gratitude, support group hug and woman counseling for drug abuse and mental health problem.

Reaching out for help is a sign of strength, not weakness. Here are some ways to get support:</p><p><strong>Therapy</strong>: Talking to <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a qualified therapist</a> can help you understand your feelings, develop coping skills, and work through your challenges.<br><strong>Medication</strong>: In some cases, medication can be helpful for managing symptoms of mental health conditions. A psychiatrist can help you decide if medication is right for you.<br><strong>Support Groups</strong>: Connecting with others who have similar experiences can be incredibly helpful. Support groups offer a safe space to share your feelings, learn from others, and feel less alone.<br><strong>Self-Help</strong>: There are many resources available to help you manage your mental health, such as self-help books, meditation apps like Headspace or Calm, and online platforms like BetterHelp or Talkspace that offer online therapy.</p><h3><br>Finding The Right Mental Health Professional</h3><p><br><strong>Research</strong>: Ask for recommendations from your GP, family, or friends. You can also search online for therapists in your area.<br>Insurance Coverage: Check with your insurance provider to see which therapists are covered.<br><strong>First Sessions</strong>: Many therapists offer a free or discounted initial consultation. This is a good opportunity to ask questions and see if they are a good fit for you.<br><strong>Mental Health Self-Care</strong>: It's Not Just A Trend<br>Self-care isn't just a trendy hashtag. </p><p>It’s a crucial part of maintaining mental wellness. Think of it as nurturing your mind and body in the same way you would care for your physical health. <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/blog" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/blog" target="_blank" rel="noopener">Here are some self-care tips</a>:</p><p><strong>Exercise</strong>: Regular exercise releases endorphins that have mood-boosting effects. Find an activity you enjoy, whether it's running, swimming, or dancing.<br><strong>Mindfulness</strong>: Mindfulness involves paying attention to the present moment without judgment. Try meditation or yoga to practice mindfulness.<br><strong>Healthy Diet</strong>: What you eat can affect your mood. Aim for a balanced diet with plenty of fruits, vegetables, and whole grains.<br><strong>Sleep</strong>: Getting enough sleep is essential for mental wellbeing. Aim for 7-8 hours of sleep per night.<br><strong>Connect With Others</strong>: Strong social connections are essential for mental health.

<h2>Smoking Cessation Hypnosis: The Secret Weapon to Quitting Smoking</h2><p><br>Are you looking for a powerful and effective way to kick the smoking habit? Have you tried other methods, only to be met with disappointment? Well, you’re not alone. Millions of people struggle with smoking cessation, but smoking cessation hypnosis offers a unique and promising approach to break free from the grip of nicotine addiction.</p><p><a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener" data-mce-selected="inline-boundary">This ain’t your grandma’s hypnotism</a>. This is about tapping into your subconscious mind, where cravings and bad habits lie dormant, waiting to be reprogrammed. We all know the conscious mind can be easily swayed - the temptation of a cigarette is strong. But your subconscious is like a stubborn mule - it takes real effort to change its mind. That's where smoking cessation hypnosis steps in.</p><figure id="figure-6tyreqxaqhlzuivzee"><img id="6tyreqxaqhlzuivzee" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1793629255/photo/word-stop-made-of-cigarette-ash-and-stub-on-white-background-closeup-quitting-smoking-concept.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=kFIHlDjzWqaXD2DhvzLy_XCksRBK-qT910rXXnI8ZZQ=" alt="Word Stop made of cigarette ash and stub on white background, closeup.

Think of it like rewriting the code of your mind. It's not about controlling you; it's about empowering you to take control of your own habits.</p><h3>The Power of the Subconscious</h3><p><br>The subconscious is like the hidden engine room of your mind. It's where all your habits and beliefs are stored. It's also where those strong cravings for cigarettes reside. Hypnotherapy helps you tap into this deep level of your mind and address those cravings at their root.</p><h3>The Process of Change</h3><p><br>Hypnotherapy doesn’t magically erase addiction. It's a gradual process that involves working with <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/contact" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/contact" target="_blank" rel="noopener">a qualified hypnotherapist</a>. During sessions, you'll be guided into a deeply relaxed state, similar to daydreaming. Your hypnotherapist will use language and imagery to reframe your thinking about smoking and reprogram your subconscious responses to triggers.</p><figure id="figure-2rohw27cxqlzuiwse7"><img id="2rohw27cxqlzuiwse7" src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1639965477/photo/quit-vape-smoking-teenager-teen-girl-refuses-disposable-cigarette.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=VCCAQeJfUvKvcQbb-2-vpn7_JWxnyHtZv6vqt4eAGk4=" alt="quit vape smoking teenager, teen girl refuses disposable cigarette" title="quit vape smoking teenager, teen girl refuses disposable cigarette" class="object-cover bg-gray-100 rounded-sm md:rounded-md lg:rounded-lg" style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;" data-corners="default" data-aspect="16:9" data-caption="" data-positionx="undefined" data-positiony="undefined" data-fullwidth="false" data-mce-src="https://media.gettyimages.com/id/1639965477/photo/quit-vape-smoking-teenager-teen-girl-refuses-disposable-cigarette.jpg?b=1&amp;s=2048x2048&amp;w=0&amp;k=20&amp;c=VCCAQeJfUvKvcQbb-2-vpn7_JWxnyHtZv6vqt4eAGk4=" data-mce-style="aspect-ratio: 16/9; object-position: center center;"></figure><h3>Types of Smoking Cessation Hypnosis</h3><p><br><strong>Self-Hypnosis</strong><br>You can learn self-hypnosis techniques from books, apps, or online programs. It gives you control over the process, but it may take more time and effort to master.</p><p><strong>Guided Hypnosis</strong><br>This involves working <a data-mce-href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" href="https://www.themindbenderhypnosis.com/about" target="_blank" rel="noopener">with a therapist who guides you</a> through the hypnosis process.

They’re often led by experienced hypnotherapists like Dr. Brian Alman. Think of it like a support group, but amplified with the power of hypnosis.</p><p><strong>Addressing Concerns and Misconceptions</strong><br>Smoking cessation hypnosis isn’t about losing control or being mind-controlled. It’s about gaining control over your own mind and breaking free from the grip of addiction. It’s a safe and effective method that taps into your inner strength to achieve lasting change.</p><p><strong>Finding a Qualified Hypnotherapist</strong><br>Look for a hypnotherapist who is certified by organisations like the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH).
