Learn while you sleep Quickly...

Tony Gaschler

Everything that you want to or have to learn can be learned for the most part while you sleep, whether learning languages or any other kind of knowledge.

Usually we allow ourselves eight hours' sleep a night. By the time you are celebrating your 60th birthday, you will have spent about 20 years in bed.

Don't restrict your learning to the daytime - use the night for learning, too!

Without damaging your health or your well-being, you can now use part of this time to deepen and strengthen your knowledge and skills considerably.

There are no limits placed on your learning objectives, here are just a few examples:

- learn foreign languages and vocabulary
- improve your grammatical knowledge
- prepare for exams
- practise formulas
- deepen your specialist knowledge

Learning more, for example in the area of foreign languages, is also of great importance for advanced learners. You can perfect your language knowledge of style, expression, grammatical combinations and word order.

When it is possible to store texts to be learnt in your subconscious while you are asleep, it is also possible to fix suggestions there. In a specific sleep sequence, receptivity for suggestions is particularly good. This sequence is optimally used to remove negative habits and inhibitory patterns of behaviour and to replace these with positive characteristics. The possibilities here are also very varied, here are just some examples:

- improving memory
- weight loss in the case of overweight
- strengthening self-confidence and self-awareness
- improving performance and stamina
- strength, relaxation and inner peace

The text book "Learn while you sleep" provides you with the most useful examples of pre-defined sleep suggestions for your individual adaptation.

Sports Hypnosis in Practice -...

Joseph Tramontana

This book offers new strategies and scripts for hypnotherapists, sports counsellors and sports psychologists working with athletes to help them achieve their peak performance. A major focus of the book is that the therapist does not necessarily need to be familiar with the sport or activity to serve as a "mental coach" to the athlete. The athlete is instructed that the goal is not to improve the mechanics of their performance (that is left up to their coaches) but, rather, to help them to relax, concentrate and focus so that they fulfill their maximum potential. They learn not to let the mental side of their game trip up the physical side, but rather to enhance it.
