As a port Bristol always had culinary influences from around the world. Spices, sugar, cocoa and fruits were some of the ingredients that made a big difference to the local produce. Sugar was extremely valuable and was refined in places like this sugar house, which is now Hotel du Vin in the centre.

Sugar is of course great in reasonable quantities but can sometimes become too big a part of your diet. If you get sugar cravings and find it difficult to turn down sweet foods one option is to use hypnotherapy to help you manage the cravings. There is more info on my website. Visit my blog and search for sugar.

❝ Will hypnotherapy cure me? ❞

Hypnotherapy doesn't cure anything.

What it can do is to help you to change your feelings and behaviours so that you can respond in a different way to situations that were causing you a problem.

In some cases that could be a completely different response - maybe stopping smoking or going from dreading your holiday flight to looking forward to it. In other cases it could be that there is a more subtle or gradual change - maybe eating fewer biscuits rather than the whole packet or feeling more comfortable about mixing with people but still a bit nervous.

More sessions can often mean more change but sometimes your mind reaches a limit because there is an underlying factor that you aren't prepared to change. That could be because there is perceived danger involved or because there isn't enough personal benefit of changing at that time.

📌 Hypnotherapist's Travel Guide to Bristol: Street Art

Walking round some of the streets in Bristol is like walking round an open air art gallery. The top place to visit is Bedminster which is full of brightly coloured painted buildings. It's home to Upfest, the annual street art event so each year there are new additions. St Pauls and St Werburghs also has a good display. If you want to see more of the grassroots type street art then visit the tunnels in St Werburghs or the M32 underpass. These change much more often and quite often you will see some artists at work.

Some of the street art in the more central parts of the city is found on the side of tall buildings. If you have batophobia (a fear of being close to tall objects, not of bats!) looking at those could feel uncomfortable. If that's the case, do get in touch for a hypnotherapy session so you can enjoy looking at those paintings too - and feel more comfortable generally in the city centre.

Hypnosis is a great way to make positive changes but it can also be a laugh. It's the silly season so I have a special offer on hypnosis for fun sessions this month.

Someone forgetting numbers or being stuck to a chair are things you will often see in a stage hypnosis show. What would you like to experience yourself? Floating in space, hurtling down a roller coaster, being a chicken, seeing water poured by an invisible hypnotist.... or something else? Your imagination can become your reality!

See www.sharonstiles.co.uk/newsletter for details.

If, like me, you are a fan of Gaudi's architecture you must pay a visit to Boiling Wells in St Werburgh's. There is a collection of self build houses there, designed by Graham Caine and inspired by Gaudi. It is a lovely area that almost feels like a different world.

Gaudi's work is impressive but he was said to be a nightmare to work with because of his perfectionism, smashing craftsmen's work because it was different to what he had intended.

Sometimes that sort of determination is needed to create your vision. At other times though it can hold you back and prevent you completing or even starting a project. If you find perfectionism holds you back at times when logically you know it isn't needed then hypnotherapy can help to break through that barrier and let you get the job done.

❝ My mind is always racing. I don't think I could concentrate or relax enough to be hypnotised ❞

You don't have to be relaxed to be hypnotised but people often achieve mental relaxation through hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is a good way to help your mind to stop racing. There is a lovely blissed out look which I see when a busy minded client has experienced a quiet mind through hypnosis.

Whilst standard relaxation inductions are less likely to work if you have a busy mind, there are others which are more effective. Those get your mind to process lots of information to help it relax and then concentrate on what you want to achieve.

If you have tried hypnosis before but found it wasn't successful because of your busy mind, search out a hypnotherapist who doesn't purely rely on relaxation and let them know you have a busy mind. Then they can work in the best way for you.

📌 Hypnotherapist's Travel Guide to Bristol: Balloon Fiesta

You can see balloons over Bristol any time of year if it is a calm morning or evening. It is one of the enjoyable things about living in the city.

But seeing balloons taking off at Ashton court and floating across the city en masse is a spectacular sight. As well as the familiar balloon shape there are also the unusually shaped ones. There's also the night glow where the balloons light up to music.

Over the years I have seen Mr Peanut, a Scottish piper, various animals and a fire extinguisher amongst many others.

This year it is Aug 7- 9. Flying does depends on the weather so there are no guarantees. But if the weather behaves it is a sight worth seeing.

Flying in a balloon is a lovely experience as you float above the landscape. If you have a fear of heights of course it's not much fun. But a hypnotherapist can help you manage your phobia and rise above that fear.

What's the best way you've found to keep cool during the hot weather? Using hypnosis to become a penguin is one solution! This was part of a recent hypnosis for fun session.

❝ Does hypnosis really work online? ❞

Definitely. I have been doing online sessions since around 2012. Hypnosis isn't something magical that can only happen if you are in the same room.

Some people prefer doing online sessions because it's more convenient. You don't have to travel anywhere and so you save time too.

All you need to do is to make sure Zoom is working on your computer or tablet (with full battery or plugged in!) and sit in a comfortable chair.

The session is very similar to one that takes place in one of my treatment rooms. There are a few inductions that I can't use but it doesn't really make any difference to you as there are plenty of others to choose from.
