Does your Mouth go Dry with Fear,
Making it Difficult to Speak?
*
Do your Voice, or your Hands (or
both) Get the 'Shakes'

Do you Feel Thoughts of Panic,
or Forget What You were Going to
Say?
Relax!
Most people feel incredibly nervous before
any speech to a group of people. In fact,
it might amaze you to know that several
surveys have shown the fear of public speaking
is often rated even higher than people's
fear of death!
So
in general, public speaking scares the heck
out of most people - which means that the
fact that you are going to give a public
speech, automatically puts you in the top
ten percent 'courageous' people around.
I
am a clinical hypnotherapist
who used to be a corporate speaker, and
also mentored public speakers (more on these
later) and I have worked with a vast array
of clients and issues over the years, to
help them overcome their challenges
and improve their results.
So
what causes all these horrible feelings
and symptoms when we speak in public? Purely
and simply, the feeling that we
will not be good enough.
This
means that the symptoms of 'fear of public
speaking' involve our levels of confidence
and self esteem, as well as our knowledge
and confidence in the subject we are speaking
about.
The good news is that it fear
of public speaking can be overcome.
These feelings of inadequacy reside within
the subconscious mind, which automatically
means that hypnosis is a very powerful and
effective method of dealing with these symptoms
(for

Methods
of Improving Your Speeches
However,
there are various other ways you can also
try, in order to to help deal with these
symptoms - and to hopefully prevent them
occuring at all.
For instance, regularly visualizing
yourself (ie. mentally imagining
yourself) performing a seamless speech can
greatly improve speaking confidence,
as this mentally rehearses the
successful speech and helps to re-program
the subconscious for a positive and successful
performance.
This
needs to be done regularly however, in order
to overcome the pre-existing 'program' that
is already running, which is causing the
current symptoms of fear during the performance.
Postive
self-talk, also known as an affirmation
or mantra, can also be very useful
- both as a preventative measure, and also
to help deal with the symptoms before you
are about to give a speech.
This
is where you mentally repeat a positive-reinforcing
statement in your mind, over and
over again until the subconscious mind accepts
it and acts upon it. You can create your
own statements, keeping them short, present-tense
and positively-worded, and simply repeat
them over and over again in your mind.
For
instance, some possible affirmations might
include: "everyone loves to hear me
speak", "perfect, relaxed talk",
"easy and effortless speech",
"I'm calm and relaxed", etc.
Repeating affirmations in front
of the mirror can also make them
doubly effective, as you look yourself in
the eye while you recite them - this is
essentially "yourself speaking to your
own subconscious"
De-sensitization can also be helpful for
overcoming fear of speaking to groups
and public speaking - which basically means
to give as many talks to small organized
groups of friends or family as you can,
to de-sensitize yourself to speaking in
front of groups before you have to give
the 'big' speech to your audience.
Meditation, relaxation exercises
or vigorous exercise on the actual day of
your talk, as well as some deep
breathing exercises before the speech, can
also help to alleviate some of the major
symptoms of public speaking nerves.
When
All Else Fails - Try the Solution
But
if you give public speeches fairly regularly,
or if you need to ensure that you remove
the symptoms from returning once and for
all, then hypnosis is the most foolproof
way of dealing with public speaking nervousness.
Fear
of public speaking is basically a type of
mental 'program' running on our internal
software.
As
your mind basically runs very much like
a computer, this program is running the
same way a computer runs software -
giving the same result, again and again.
This
hypnosis recording works at the
very source of the problem and makes the
necessary 'software' changes in
order to steadily decrease, and even cease
altogether, the symptoms of nervousness.
It
uses powerful tailor-made hypnotic
suggestions and visualization to re-program
your subconscious to make public speeches
easier, more pleasureable and with
more emotional control, as time goes on.
This
20 minute relaxation recording is simply
used once each day until you have reached
a level of ease with your public speaking
or are pleased with your results.
Here's
what a couple of readers had
to say about it:
"I
used to have sleepless nights
before the speeches I gave
to clients, and I never believed
that one little hypnosis recording
could save my sanity and my career!
All
the embarrassing shakes,
dry throat, sweats and forgetfulness
just seemed to disappear.
Now,
I feel great when I'm out there.
I truly can't thank you enough".

"I
used to be pretty confident
at public speaking but suddenly
in the last year
or two my legs started shaking
- which was really embarrassing!
I
only listened to each of
your downloads once (the
main recording, and the night-time
subliminal), but I gave my
speech this morning and it
worked, no shaky legs!
I
spent the whole time the
first speaker was on visualising
how much fun I
was going to have, picturing
people congratulating me
afterwards and everyone really wanting
to hear what I was going
to say.
Then
despite a hiccup with the projector,
it ended up being one
of the best presentations
I have ever given -
honestly, about
15 people congratulated
me afterwards saying
how much they had enjoyed
it, with one man even saying
that he had heard many speakers
in his life but that I had
a natural affinity for it
- ha ha, ridiculous, who
would have thought it!!!
Thank
you very much, I
shall recommend your
downloads to anyone
else I hear of with a shaky leg/body/voice
or any other out of control
habit. Thanks again".
