  • Sleep better with hypnosis - cover

    Sleep better with hypnosis

    Who is this hypnosis for:- If you have difficulty falling asleep- or you wake up frequently over the night- or your sleep is simply not restful enough- or you can sleep only with medication and would like a more natural solution… this hypnosis will help.This hypnosis is an easy, gentle way to prepare for falling asleep. At the same time, it will help you experience a deep, restful, regenerating sleep.How it works:So many of us are affected these days by sleeping troubles.Unfortunately, this is bound to be: our world is fast, overloaded with information and constantly stimulated by screens. Thus, our brains are overly activated and less acquainted with the state of non-activity.This "monkey mind" is what keeps us away from a good sleep. Over the night, our brains keep on being busy solving problems. Moreover, our bodies cannot have a good, regenerative rest either – did you notice how an agitated mind matches and agitated body?Fortunately, methods based on hypnosis are very effective.While in themselves, they are very relaxing (4 time stronger than sleep), when specific suggestions for taking a break from thoughts and slipping into a profound, regenerative sleep are added, our mind and body finally gets the break it needs.This is what this 28 min hypnosis does.Play it after you have already laid down in bed and found a comfortable position so that you can easily fall asleep during it or after it ends.My recommendation is to use it for 3 days in a row and feel if it works for you. If it does, continue. The more you do it, the easier it will become for you to relax and fall asleep.Disclaimer:The products sold here do not replace medical or psychological therapy. Please take your time when listening to the audio downloads and stop doing anything else that might distract you, e.g., don't use them while working or driving a car.ENJOY!Yours Dr. Nidal MoughrabiMedical doctor · Coach for mental self-regulation · HypnotherapistInner stability for stress, anxiety and personal crises

    Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset: Moving to agile software development. 
    Coaching, Agile Coaching, Transformation, Agile Transformation, Agile Coach, Transformation Coach…. Lots of combinations we hear in everyday life. We are discussing agile transformation here. The approach we follow in this training is “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”. 
    The dictionary meaning for agile is "able to move quickly and easily". Also, a much talked about attribute of agile is flexibility, ability to respond to changes. 
    How agile can an “agile transformation be"? In our approach, we believe the transformation itself must be agile. It must be an empirical process with an adaptive plan, which is flexible enough to accommodate new learnings accrued during the transformation journey. We keep improving every moment, and the agility evolves as we progress through this journey. 
    We believe in “Agile Transformation with an Agile Coaching Mindset”. 
    Let’s try to list down various phases a typical transformation journey goes through. These steps are negotiable. Based on the organization, team, and environment, these steps may change, be replaced, or be removed. The team may go through phases like… 
    Understand the Organisation, Culture, and Practices; Understand the drivers and set goals; Define Road map; Make Agile visible; Establish Agile training; Align Organisation structure and high-level processes; Start with Agile Practices; Team level transformation; Inspect and Adapt. 
    There is not any specific order for executing many of these steps in our journey. These may even go in parallel or in a different order based on the situation. This book discusses each phase in detail.

    The world's leading investigator of consciousness argues that by understanding what consciousness does—cause change in the world—we can understand its origins and its future 
     
     
     
    In Then I Am Myself the World, Christof Koch explores the only thing we directly experience: consciousness. At the book's heart is integrated-information theory, the idea that the essence of consciousness is the ability to exert causal power over itself, to be an agent of change. Koch investigates the physical origins of consciousness in the brain and how this knowledge can be used to measure consciousness in natural and artificial systems. 
     
     
     
    Enabled by such tools, Koch reveals when and where consciousness exists, and uses that knowledge to confront major social and scientific questions: When does a fetus first become self-aware? Can psychedelic and mystical experiences transform lives? What happens to consciousness in near-death experiences? Why will generative AI ultimately be able to do the very thing we can do, yet never feel any of it? And do our experiences reveal a single, objective reality? 
     
     
     
    This is an essential book for anyone who seeks to understand ourselves and the future we are creating.
