Imagine being able to manipulate your dreams from within, at will. Imagine being able to seek inspiration for creative endeavours and technical solutions in the sleep state. Imagine discovering new insights to life through profound conversations with your inner-mind. Imagine resolving fears, anxieties, trauma and depression from within the safety of your dreams. Imagine changing your life experience, as you sleep. All this and more is possible when you master lucid dreaming.

In the year 1492 Christopher Columbus sailed to the Bahamas in search of China, on the Santa Maria. Columbus sent two Spaniards, Rodrigo de Jerez and Lois de Torres, who spoke Chadic and Arabic, to walk through Indian villages in search of the Emperor of China. Neither men spoke Chinese or any local native languages. In fact, Columbus and none of his crew had ever been to China or Asia.

Aura perception is an energy field that can be visually perceived in living things, such as plants and animals.  Kirlian aural photography captures an  ‘egg-shaped’ circle of energy around and beyond the physical body. This energy emanates from the ‘chakras’. the major ‘chakras’ are located on the endocrine glands in the body. The aura is an energy field that surrounds the body like a subtle cloud or layers of coloured halos. read more at Welcome Perception of Aura's - Peter Zapfella

Researchers have had their “Eureka!” moment, because they have discovered a link to how we ‘find it!’ inside our own minds. Our deep unconscious “eye accessing cues” indicate where our unconscious is accessing ‘remembered’ or ‘constructed’ information. The notion that eye movements might be related to internal representations was first suggested by American psychologist William James in his book Principles of Psychology (1890).

Fear is a normal emotion within us all. It is related to the survival instinct. It alerts us to a threat, and prepares us for action – either ‘fight or flight’. Life Free From Phobias – YouTube Video  When a fear is said to be ‘irrational’ or illogical, absurd, nonsensical, or ridiculous – we call it a ‘phobia’. There are three types of phobias; agoraphobia (such as large, open spaces where there are few ‘places to hide’), social phobia (such as fear of other people, performance anxiety etc), and specific phobias (such as spiders, snakes, dogs, water, insects, flying, heights, confined spaces etc). Somewhere between 10 – 20 percent of people suffer from at least one significant phobia. It is the most common mental disorder among women and the second most common in men worldwide. The feeling of fear may be accompanied by heart palpitations, ‘cold sweats’, clammy hands, ‘butterfly stomach’ sensations, dizziness, and an overwhelming need to ‘run away’ and ‘escape’. This is often, but not always accompanied by feelings of intense ‘worry’ or ‘anxiety’. When confronted with the feared situation, the sufferer may even have a ‘panic attack’, the spontaneous onset of intense fear that makes them feel as if they might stop breathing and pass out, or even have a heart attack and die. The Phobia List - Peter Zapfella

Abusers feel powerless, so they search for a victim they can exert power over. The abuse could be emotional (manipulation and verbal), financial (economic), physical, sexual or all four. They usually isolate their victim from family and friends. An abuser will act the part of ‘Mister nice guy’ until he or she is confident their victim cannot leave them. The abuser could be a parent, a partner or even an employer. Placating an abuser to reduce tension rarely works; the abuse almost always continues.

Do you lack close friendships, because no one else is ‘good enough’? Do you think everyone is focused on you, and your opinions? Can you ‘turn on the charm’ when it suits you, then stab your friends in the back just as quickly and easily? Do you turn up at appointments and engagements late because you really do not care if you inconvenience other people? Are you always right because you are infallible, and do not make mistakes? Other people make mistakes, but not you? Do you get ‘hot under the collar’, even enraged if other people question you and your views?

Did you know, how we think about time affects our life, from our emotions, our attitude and our beliefs and behaviors. It’s a psychological construct called time perspective. Go to How You Think About Time Affects Your Life - Peter Zapfella

Weight control is really about a balanced lifestyle in mind and body, rather than forced discipline. ‘Welcome subliminal affirmations’ can make it easier for you to have control, without the struggle. There is a complexity of reasons why an individual may have a weight problem. Simply put – there is no easy answer. For example; The latest research published in the Journal of Sleep Research reported in Finland where they studied 10,000 children aged between 9 and 12 found those children who stayed up an extra 2 hours on the weekend, longer than the usual times they went to bed during the week, had a waist circumference 2.4 CM more than children who had a consistent bedtime. Is this extra weight caused by inconsistent bedtime? Or, is it a reflection of parenting styles? This raises the question; how does that translate into adulthood weight for those children? How do adults respond to inconsistent sleep patterns, such as shift workers? Do the lessons adults learn as children translate into poor personal discipline which reflects on their ability to impulse control, and control their weight? At its most simple level weight control is about getting the balance right between calories ‘in’ and calories ‘out’, However the real question is how and why it may be out of balance in an individual? What to do about it. It could be ‘bad’ lifestyle issues and ‘bad’ habits? Some common issues that impact weight control include anxiety, depression, and past traumas. These issues can all be effectively treated by Peter Zapfella either face-to-face therapy, one-on-one using Skype Therapy dot Live or  MP3s from the safety and privacy of your own home. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product-category/weight-control/

Ridicule is mockery, derision and taunting. It can be done in a teasing ‘fun’ way, Or with cruelty and hate, in which case the sufferer wants to escape it and live a life free from ridicule. Ridicule can also be done in a friendly, teasing ‘fun’ way, However, there is a ‘line in the sand’ which must not be crossed. That line is different for different people. The word ridicule comes from the Latin, ridere (meaning to laugh) and ridiculus (meaning laughable). The Cambridge Dictionary defines it as “foolish or unreasonable and deserving to be laughed at”. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/life-free-from-ridicule/

Just thinking about public speaking, often described as the most common of all phobias, can make your blood run cold and your palms sweat. Yet phobias are irrational fears – hallucinations. Fear of public speaking is a social phobia. Whether we’re talking in a team meeting or presenting in front of an audience, we all have to speak in public from time to time. No one was born a great public speaker. The good news is that speaking in public is a learned skill. You might have to make a speech after accepting an award, or to give a presentation. You may be asked to make a speech at a family or friend’s wedding, or give a eulogy for a loved one, or thank a group of volunteers at a charity event. Being a good public speaker can enhance your reputation, boost your self-confidence, and open up countless new opportunities. However, just as good public speaking skills can open doors, poor speaking or avoidance altogether can close the doors of opportunity forever. So how can you be a better public speaker? Here are a few secrets I have put together to help you do just that. https://www.peterzapfella.com/2024/05/public-speaker/

Condoms have been used both as a method of birth control and as a protective measure against sexually transmitted diseases for hundreds of years. The condom is a thin sheath that covers an erect penis to prevent blood, semen, and vaginal fluids passing between people during sexual penetration of the vagina or anus. Today they are usually made from latex, polyisoprene or polyurethane. If condoms are used correctly, they provide up to 98 percent protection from pregnancy, and around 85 percent protection from HIV. Male condoms are often referred to as safe sex because they help to prevent most types of sexually transmitted infections (STIs) and unplanned pregnancies. The condom is a thin sheath that covers an erect penis to prevent blood, semen, and vaginal fluids passing between people during sexual penetration of the vagina or anus. They are usually made from latex, polyisoprene or polyurethane. If condoms are used correctly, they provide up to 98 percent protection from pregnancy, and around 85 percent protection from the human immunodeficiency virus (HIV). Analysis published in 2007 from the University of Texas Medical Branch and the World Health Organization found similar risk reductions of 80–95 percent. The protection rates from other sexually transmitted infections (STIs) vary according to the infection and other factors.  https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-safe-sex-condoms/

‘Nicotine addicts’ have been scammed by unscrupulous multi-national companies, including drug companies, and giant retail groups, who want to make money from the so called ‘nicotine addiction’. Those ‘addicts’ have been tricked by years of false advertising based not on science but marketing. “If you repeat a lie often enough, people will come to believe it, and they will be prepared to die for it,” said Nazi leader Joseph Goebbels. Meanwhile, scientists have proven beyond doubt that nicotine is not at all physically addictive. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-life-beyond-nicotine/

People who can see the fun side of life, who can change a ‘dark’ situation into a light-hearted joke are more popular within groups. According to Wikipedia “Fun is the enjoyment of pleasure, particularly in leisure activities. Fun is an experience often unexpected, informal or purposeless. It is an enjoyable distraction, diverting the mind and body from any serious task or contributing an extra dimension to it”. Although particularly associated with recreation and play, fun may be encountered during work, social functions, and even seemingly mundane activities of daily living. It may often have little to no logical basis.” So, fun can be for fun’s sake and nothing more. Just moments escape from the boredom of reality. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-fun/

Do you bite and chew your nails and perhaps the skin at the tips of your fingers? Is it linked to negative emotional states such as stress and anxiety or perhaps frustration, concentration, boredom or nervousness? Compulsive nail-biting is usually initiated or influenced by negative emotional states, and then results in a negative emotional feedback loop that results in the recurring compulsive behavior. Onychophagia is the technical term for compulsive grooming or nail-biting. It is actually classed by the American Psychiatric Association as an obsessive-compulsive disorder (OCD). It is classified as a body-focused repetitive behavior (BFRB), making it more than just a ‘bad habit’.  The good news is treatment for nail biting responds well to hypnotherapy and neurolinguistic programming by a qualified and skilled practitioner. Because nail biting has both behavioral and emotional components, successful treatment focus upon both. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-freedom-from-nail-biting/

You can welcome self-confidence into your life now. Here is how. Self-confidence is a self-evaluation or judgment of one’s own confidence in oneself. The level of one’s own self-confidence can be observed in the way you carry yourself – behavior, body language, what you say and how you say it. Confidence is a belief in one’s own ability to successfully perform a task. However, it does not necessarily mean there is an emphasis upon the outcome of the task, as much as the enjoyment and experience of it. Confident individuals inspire others. They are often perceived as successful role models because people admire them. Related words include self-assurance, braveness, boldness, buoyancy, self-confidence, poise, self-reliantly, and tenacity, A lack of self- confidence can become a self-fulfilling prophecy as one may self-sabotage one’s self and not attempt to win when the ability and opportunity are accessible. Low self-confidence is negative. It can be self-destructive. Related words include apprehension, cowardice, distrust, doubt, fear, hesitation, timidity, uncertainty, and weakness. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-self-confidence/

Global spending on skin lightening products is growing at the rate of 10 per cent every year. It is projected to hit US$31.2 billion by next year, according to a report released by the research firm Global Industry Analysts. “This is a reflection upon users low self-esteem and lack of self-worth.

Love is perhaps the most profound of all emotions. According to the “Book of Miracles’ it is the one true emotion, all positive emotions derive from love. All negative emotions are forms of fear. Love is a basic necessity in everyone’s life. Without it, we would be physically and psychologically maladjusted.  “When emotional deprivation and lack of love occur, physical growth slows down or stops. The body enters into a survival mode where vital, basic physiological functions are preserved at the cost of physical, mental, and social development. The longer the child is in survival mode, the more permanent and negative the effects will be. Once a child is adopted and the amount of love, care, and stimulation increases, the body ceases to be in survival mode and will start recuperating.” The Conversation. The brain changes triggered by love certainly affect our mood and behavior. The neurotransmitters and hormones associated with attraction, sex and love are oxytocin, dopamine, norepinephrine, vasopressin and testosterone. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/

Marijuana has been used in various religions and cultures throughout the world for perhaps thousands of years. It has become increasingly popular as both a social drug and a recognized medication for many ailments. Cannabis has a proven track record in fighting pain (such as in cancer and arthritis), glaucoma, epilepsy, asthma, anorexia nervosa, reducing nausea and vomiting during chemotherapy, and muscle spasms. The efficacy of cannabis in treating neurological problems, including multiple sclerosis (MS), epilepsy is as yet unproven. However, its use for treating MS is approved in at least ten countries. It is used to treat pain relief, muscle spasms, nausea from cancer chemotherapy, poor appetite, and weight loss caused by chronic illness, such as HIV, seizure disorders, and Crohn’s disease, and others.

Our immunity drops as we age, respiratory infections, influenza, the COVID-19 virus, and particularly pneumonia cause more deaths in people aged over 65 worldwide.

It strengthens the leg and abdominal muscles. Plus, skating is great cardiovascular health. When we say Better Skating, we are including a wide range of skates and skating styles.

This in turn influenced snowboarding in the 1970’s.  Roller skating has been a popular recreational activity and sport since the 1880’s. It first appeared as far back as the mid 1700’s in vaudeville stage acts, perhaps to simulate ice skating? Roller skating involves traveling over hard surfaces on skates.

Do you drink too much and then suffer hang-overs the next morning? Is your health suffering as a result of intoxication and hang-overs? Are you experiencing negative emotions, such as shame, guilt, anger and low self-esteem as a result of your drinking and hang-overs? Imagine if you could still have fun drinking with your friends without suffering from a hang-over the next morning. They say, “What happens in Vegas stays in Vegas”. But I am about to ‘spill the beans’. A friend of mine is a keen gambler. I will leave that story in Vegas. But he told me how he also did a lot of heavy drinking with his friends while he was there. He applied the suggestions I have included in this article to his drinking on that occasion, particularly water before, during and after that night (which helps to prevent dehydration, a cause of those terrible headaches). The next morning, he was up and ready to go on the tour they had booked. His drinking mates were suffering massive hangovers and still in bed. They missed a chunk of daylight (which they somehow felt an allergic reaction) and felt ‘seedy’ well into the afternoon too. They were incredulous about his recovery, as they had all had the same amount to drink the night before. ‘They wanted to know how he had avoided the same hangover they had all experienced. Of course, his secret of success was, or is on this page. https://www.peterzapfella.com/product/welcome-life-free-from-hang-overs/
