As the daylight hours deplete in Europe, many people experience shifts in mood and behaviour as a result.  It is not really surprising.  If you are a gardener or spend anytime observing nature taking its' natural course, you will see that leaves drop of trees, plants lose their foliage and others go into hibernation.  The animal species also do the same.  As daylight hours reduce there is a natural tendency to 'nest'.  Levels of serotonin in the brain can become depleted and your brain chemistry can change, often resulting in feelings of being blue. 

If you or somebody you know are feeling the winter blues, you don't have to lock yourself away and suffer for the next 6 months. There are a number of things that you can do.  Light boxes work for some.  Hypnotherapy is also a great way to help adjust your internal clock so that you feel happier and more energetic.  Learning techniques that will help you to relax deeply send signals to your brain to produce the 'happy chemicals' is an effective and pr oven way of dealing with this condition.

I am also a great fan and advocate of the MindSpa.  It is a light pulsing and audio sensory unit that is pr oven to improve sleep patterns.  I have been using one of these units since May of this year.  I was introduced to it by Dr Richard Bandler during the Master NLP Practitioner Course.  He demonstrated the use of it in live sessions.  The financial investment is £175 and in my opinion worth every penny.  Check out www.avstim.com and see for yourself.  If you are interested in improving your sleep, eradicating the effects of jet lag, improving mental focus and learning deep relaxation sleep........oh and feeling much brighter and happier in the winter months, this is for you.
