Self Hypnosis Techniques

Tim Cridland – the man who can block out pain through sheer power of his mind. What type of hypnosis, and other techniques are involved with this? He claims that all of his nerves are normal, as any human, but through the power of meditation, self hypnosis, and other techniques, he’s able to take any level of pain down to about nothing. Watch and share your opinion, please. I’m curious about these methods. I posted it under Philosophy because there is meditation involved.

I tend towards obsessive compulsive thinking, and I’m generally fine with that. It helps me to harmonize in music and arts, and I don’t mind being a list-maker. And when I get totally obsessed with something new (like a video game, or a style of cooking, or clothing) I try not to worry, because I’ve learned I will get bored of it soon anyway.

I know that my perception of reality (like anyone else’s) is variable, and the OCD along with it. On bright, warm days my germ phobia is non-existant, and I’ve tried de-sensitization techniques and self-hypnosis to good effect. But I’m only willing to do anything about something if I can see that my reaction really is so over the top that it damages me more than the offending issue ever could.

I’ve always been exposed to second-hand cigarette smoke to some degree. I’ve never liked it, but it’s only been in the last few years that it has become a misery to me.
This came after I did a few months of a detox & health program at home. Once I did that, I felt a lot better, the strongest and healthiest ever. But if I ate a food I’d excluded again, I would get strong reactions, and the same is true for exposure to smoke. I could immediately tell that my nose started to get irritated, then my throat, my eyes start tearing, head starts pounding, and I end up feeling really stressed and angry.
But that’s a social killer, even when there is a well-working smoking ban in place. And where I live now, the "smoking ban" is shoddy.

Here’s the thing: Smoke is a risk factor for a number of illnesses that stress also is one for. So how much good is my worry doing me, really?
I want to be able to quantify how damaging second-hand smoke really is. "Bad" is not quantifying. And I realize that "2% of your life energy per hour of exposure, 1,5% can be recovered", is not really the answer either. What I mean is:
- I grew up in the countryside, now I live in a big city. How does air pollution from cars, industry, etc compare?
- How much is the damage from exposure to smoke balanced out by healthy diet & exercise (for example also extra Vit C)

It seems I can’t find any balanced information / opinion / advice on this, either it is "smoke won’t harm you, it’s all propaganda" or it’s "smoke will kill you for sure, if not today, then tomorrow".
Something will in the end kill us all. Anything out of moderation is potentially harmful. Smoke serves no purpose, it is always harmful, but how bad is it really in balance? It freaks me out to read on official health board sites that second-hand smoke is worse on people than smoking the cigarette itself! (?!!) That’s some confusing advice to give.
It used to be family, then it was at gigs and clubs and parties, and friends and relationships. Now I notice it a lot, blowing in from outside at work, seeping into my flat from the neighbours, etc. It’s not in my head, my friends are not OCD and they notice it, too. But I don’t smoke, and over here almost none of my friends smoke. I live in a big city, and the air pollution is relatively low. I don’t know if that balances it out somehow?

Writing / talking a lot is NOT a sign of OCD oh god, lol, that’s so funny….

It’s true, that more people would be dead if it was THAT toxic, but it’s not just about immediate death. It’s about lowered quality of life, crossover effects on immunity and allergies, chronic diseases etc….
Doingthepanic, thanks that is pretty much my situation, I grew up in that, too, and later didn’t really want to not go out just because the smoke was so thick at the best clubs.
Good point about the "that’s worse than smoking yourself" stuff being aimed at parents, I hadn’t even though of that…
I’m sorry you ended up with asthma and allergies as well. What do you do, stay away from places and parties where it’s smokey? I mean how far do you feel OK taking it? I really feel like 2 minutes in a smokey place and I gotta walk, that’s no good when my favourite band is on, and kids are smoking in the toilets (ban or no ban, who’s gonna check at 11pm…)
And it’s one thing to stay away from parties and clubs, but another to get miserable in my home, because neighbours smoke is coming through somewhere that we haven’t already sealed up (I’m getting so tired of this….), or indeed at work when half the office smokes, and when it’s cold no one wants to open the windows, and people hover around the doors to smoke outside, so it just blows back into here.

Can Hypnosis correct a very destructive never-ending pattern of negativity, worrying, and lack of self worth?

This was learned during my childhood, and is beginning to affect work, relationship, & pretty much all aspects of life.

HELP!
