Publisher's summary

Do you suffer from painful and distressing irritable bowel syndrome, often referred to as IBS? Are you looking for a safe and natural way to relieve the symptoms of the condition?

If so, you will surely be interested to hear that studies have shown how hypnotherapy can be effective as a treatment for IBS in many cases, with some hospitals in the UK using it to treat some of those referred for the condition. Expert hypnotherapist Lynda Hudson is one of the leading specialists, having treated such patients; the success of her treatment programmes with individuals like you has inspired her to create this recording as an ongoing resource for you to use in the comfort and privacy of your own home.

Through powerful self-hypnosis techniques, Lynda will help you learn deep relaxation techniques, enabling you to manage your condition with emotional calm and confidence. With four tracks to cover a wide range of symptoms - such as pain, bloating, constipation and diarrhoea - you can customise your listening experience to suit your own needs.

The first main track offers a short introduction, with general advice about the condition. You will learn about research into IBS and how each of the subsequent tracks may help you. Importantly Lynda does suggest you seek medical advice and a diagnosis before assuming that IBS is the cause of your symptoms, as this may not necessarily be the case.

The second track addresses the entire spectrum of symptoms by increasing your sense of both emotional and physical calm. Over the course of a 30-minute-long meditation, you will visualise calming imagery that not only soothes but also teaches you coping mechanisms for dealing with the unpleasantness of symptoms.

The third track deals specifically with constipation, using powerful techniques to control digestion with specific thoughts. Through both suggestion and metaphor your body will respond to the imagery by increasing or regulating digestion activity, encouraging regular and easier bowel movements.

The fourth and final track uses imagery and suggestion to soothe, calm and slow down over-stimulated activity in the whole digestive system. It encourages a gradual slowing down of the digestive process which lessens the likelihood of diarrhoea.

Lynda's approach is based on many years as a clinical hypnotherapist, and she has helped thousands of people across the world with her recordings. As the author of two widely acclaimed books on hypnotherapy for both adults and children alike, you can be sure that your healing is in the safest hands. For the best results, you should listen to this recording in a calm and quiet environment and never while driving. Your skills and ability will develop with practice, so repeated listening is the key to success.

This has helped me so much!

This has helped my stomach so much. I have only listened to it 3 times in the last week and a half, but OMG! The first time I listened to it my stomach was normal for about three days. Then the second time the same thing happened. So now I am trying to listen to it every day, so I can have a normal healthy stomach all the time. They tell you to listen to these for 21 days straight, so that is my goal and then whenever I need to have a refresher. This is an amazing hypnosis program to help with something that nothing else has helped me with. I am incredibly happy with it. Also, it is easy to listen to.
