I don’t know about you, but I’m sick to death of Viagra based Spam - morning, noon and night they’re at. it. I’ve changed email addresses, domain names, installed filters, anti-spam packages and threw my laptop out the window.

I’ve decided to have a look at what this Viagra stuff is - please note, I did say look because I do not feel that I need it… yet.

Viagra was first created in the U.K at a place called sandwich, now that’s interesting straight away isn’t it, now I don’t know about you but it’s one of those “fantasy” things that men are reported to think about quite a bit.. sandwich’s. Coincidence then? And just in case you’re very naive, like Chris here with me, it’s appertaining to 3 people in a bed.

I promise that’s the lowest I will be heading in this blog, it should all be up from here.

I’ve been a practicing therapist for a number of years and in that time I’ve met many men with erectile dysfunction aka impotence and I can say that the feedback I have received from these guys has been fantastic for them. So what I’m suggesting in this blog are a couple of ways of just testing your neurological path to see if it’s still transmitting the right messages to the right places.

If you suffer from low blood pressure, Hereditary de-generative retinal disorders, kidney damage or recently had a heart attack you can’t take Viagra due to the medical concerns so doing the below exercise can really help you get back in the sack.

The side effects of using Viagra for the rest of you are:

Sneezing

It’s now June and I’ve just come back from Town and either Newcastle is full of men on Viagra or the pollen count is high because either way there is an awful lot of sneezing going on.

Headaches

Headaches?! HEADACHES?! Come off it, “not tonight darling, I’ve got a headache” - isn’t this the very reason you’re taking Viagra. So let’s get this right, you pop a pill, your loved ones lying there waiting and just DA-DA-DA your John Thomas puts in an appearance but you cry off because you’ve got a headache.

Dyspepsia

So now the sex starved man wanders into the bedroom, keels over, cries of pending heart attack (is what heart burn feels like). Looks at his partner and says “god I feel sick” and becomes generally irritable which will turn off the recipient of the mood swings anyway.

The Solution

So what I’m suggesting is that your hypothalamus knows exactly which chemicals you need to stimulate you without any of the above side effects.

Firstly, create a fully associated image in your mind of you getting it on with whoever you want. This image must be moving with sound and bright colour. When you’re listening to the sounds you might want to have the other person say things to you, whatever turns you on. This might sound very easy and straight forward yet an awful lot of people tend to have erectile problems in long term relationships, you could argue that this is because human beings are not monogamous by nature and are naturally promiscuous.

Promiscuity comes from the very paragraph I’ve just written because people are in a relationship and they run inside their mind a disassociated still image and is usually silent and this will turn anybody off, just try it.

Then they see someone else at the office, in the park, barmaid, Tesco or where-ever and they run an associated full, full sound all belts and braces movie. This stimulates their entire system and they find themselves having sex outside of their relationship long before they’ve actually physically done it.

The technique then for a good long term relationship is to make sure that you continually do the above with your own partner in mind. This will maintain a Pavlovian connection between you and your partner, or dog - pending on what your into, oops we’ve went down another level - we’re going back up soon.

If any of you guys would like a hand after trying the above, then contact me, for a small fee I’ll be able to create you a CD to help you get over this challenge hypnotically.

Your eyes can get stronger, meaning there is no need for most people to wear permanent spectacles. Time to send your eyes muscles to the gym.

In my last blog post I talked about Bernard the crazy Irishman who I helped go spectacle free with a NLP technique. Now I’m going share this insight…

When you first tried to do 10 press ups you found you could only do 3 or 4. It’s not that your body isn’t capable of 10 press ups its that your body is just not used to it yet and if you wait 20 minutes you’ll easily do another 3 or 4. If you wait another half an hour you can probably do 4 or 5 press ups. If you wait another half an hour…well, you get the drift, you’re muscles very quickly learn what your intending outcome is and your unconscious mind aims to please.

Now then, let’s take the scenario of the TV set. When the TV remote was invented people over time people lost the use of their legs because even though the distance from your TV to the chair has never changed, when the remote vanishes, as it often does, people choose to spend 10 to 15 minutes hunting for the remote instead of simply walking to the TV and changing the channel. This is exactly how it happens with your eyesight. Initially you have a little bit of eyestrain and originally spectacles were invented to support your eyes back to good health by adjusting the lenses over a short period of time. Not very profitable! So now instead of encouraging your muscles to get back into action your spectacles are the remote and you sit back in your chair and expect your spectacles to do the work. You lazy git. You haven’t done this on purpose, it’s just you’ve bought in to the hypnotic suggestion that your eyes never get stronger, they only ever get weaker.

It’s only an embedded command used by a hypnotist that wishes to profit from your misfortune. I’m not suggesting this is a cure yet do the exercise correctly over two to three weeks and leave a comment on here with the results.

Before you do this experiment what you need to do is test your current vision by placing a piece of newspaper on you door or wall and then measure the distance you can comfortably see the print on the paper WTHOUT your spectacles. Mark this distance.

Now for the 14 easy steps:

1. Take your spectacles off and close your eyes.
2. With your eye lids closed, move your eyes fully clockwise slowly.
3. Notice any stiffness in the muscles of your eyes as you move them.
4. This is the crazy bit, imagine that you have a little DIY handyman inside your eye sockets.
5. Now have the little man pull out a can of lubricant to apply to all your sore areas.
6. Continue moving them in a cycical fashion.
7. Make sure your eyes are still closed!
8. After a few minutes they will feel fully relaxed.
9. Now imagine you have a daily newspaper about 1/2 a meter from your nose. Focus on the large print on top, then the small print on the bottom.
10. Move the newspaper to two meters from your nose, again focus on the large print on the top and then the small print on the bottom.
11. Do this once again at 3 meters then swooooosh the newspaper up to half a meter from your nose. You’ll notice your eye muscles are actually moving even though you have your eyes closed. It’s a retinal pressup!
12. Repeat this exercise 3 times.
13. Lastly, move your eyes around in cyclical fashion once more for 30 seconds. Viola! You’re done.
14. Repeat this exercise 3 to 4 times per day or more for atleast 4 weeks. You’re sending your eyes to the gym.

If you have any questions or feedback post in the comment section below.

Reasons this won’t work:

1) Spectacles are usually made to be fragile. You might think this is designed to make them look pretty and sexy. It’s not. They are designed to be fragile so the safest place for them is on the end of your nose. For one month I would like you to carry your spectacle case with you and only use your spectacles for minimal periods this will encourage your eye muscles back into action.

2) You don’t do the exercises enough. You should be doing this 3 to 4 times daily, or more, for 4 weeks.

3) You had your eyes open! They MUST be closed during the exercise because there is no such thing as reality. If your eyes are closed you have no conscious resistance to the exercise. Your brain believes that you can see.

“Seeing isn’t believing, believing is seeing.” - Judy in ‘The Santa Clause’

If you broke your leg it would take approximately eight weeks to heal; your arm - about six weeks; and for other areas of your anatomy, any doctor can tell you with a certain degree of accuracy just how long a repair takes. So how come when you go to an optician your eyes never get better?

Do you know anyone who has worn spectacles and now doesn’t need them any more? I do. His name is Bernard - a wonderful, crazy Irishman that I met while training Master NLP practitioners in Ireland.

Now Bernard sat before me with his glasses on and told me that he needed them to see the “numbers on the bus.” I suggested that buses actually come closer and as they do, the numbers get bigger. “Clucking bell!” he said (or words to that effect). “I haven’t even travelled on a bus in twenty years.” After another couple of NLP techniques, Bernard is spectacle free.

No miracles at work, sorry, just challenging an old set of beliefs which did not need to be there. So how is it possible? Remember when we were kids and our parents needed the TV channel changing? I was that remote control device. Were you? Then came the remote with a four foot cable that couldn’t reach your chair, eventually making room for the wireless remote control. How is it that when you lose the remote you would sooner spend an hour looking for it than walk to the telly and turn the channel over? When your eyes become strained you put on glasses to allow them not to work as hard for a while, in no time at all the muscles become lazy, and down the slippery slope to believing you need spectacles you go.

Originally opticians would give you corrective spectacles and adjust the strength of the lenses over a few months until your eyes were strong again. After all, this is a muscle that we are talking about, is it not? Any good NLP practitioner or Hypnotherapist can help you to reprogram your eye sight without the need of a laser.

So before you spend thousands on Laser treatment, pay a visit to the professionals that can help you to adjust your focus on life, which can help you to see a lot of things more clearly.

In the mean time, simply close your eyes and imagine that you are focusing on the newspaper, see the large print and then the small print, now imagine the words two feet in front of you, then four, six and then eight feet. Each time checking the print and pretending that you can see it clearly.

You will feel your eye muscles actually moving, when you open your eyes leave your spectacles off until you need them, and get yourself a half prescription less than you normally would use - this encourages your eyes to start working effectively.

So what prevents you from truly seeing everything in your life?
