Welcome to the HypnoGeeks Podcast episode 14!

In this episode, I am thrilled to introduce Albert Vigil, a passionate advocate for self-improvement and holistic healing. Albert is certified in the Silva Method and Reiki levels 1 and 2, and is currently pursuing advanced education in clinical medical hypnotherapy, mind-body psychology, neurobiology, and neurochemistry. His dedication to understanding profound healing modalities extends to biology, biochemistry, and psychology.

In this episode, we'll dive into the transformative power of the Silva Method, a pioneering self-help programme developed by José Silva in the 1960s. The Silva Method focuses on enhancing mental abilities and personal well-being through deep relaxation, meditation, and visualization techniques. By learning to enter a relaxed state of mind known as the "alpha level," practitioners can tap into heightened creativity and problem-solving skills.

The programme also emphasizes positive thinking, affirmations, and intuition development, empowering individuals to reprogramme their subconscious minds for success. Through goal setting, mental rehearsal, and mind-body healing techniques, the Silva Method provides a comprehensive approach to achieving personal and professional goals, reducing stress, and fostering overall health and happiness.

Albert is not only an aspiring author but also a committed educator, developing community programmes to spread awareness about the benefits of self-help and motivational education. Join us as we explore how The Silva Method, clinical medical hypnotherapy and self-directed methods can empower us to become our best selves, thrive in life, and feel good.

Episode 13 of our Hypnogeeks Podcast with Shig 🎙️ Step into the World of Recovery and Transformation 🌟

In this captivating conversation, we journey deep into the heart of truth and transformation. Hypnogeeks explores the very essence of our existence, unveiling the stories, struggles, and triumphs that shape our lives.

🔍 Unearthing the Roots:
Discover the profound origins behind life's challenges – from the feeling of not fitting in, to the masks we wear. These issues run deep, and families often hold the key to unraveling them. Shig believes in listening, understanding, and embracing these perspectives from the earliest stages.

🤯 The Ripple Effect of Substance Misuse:
Did you know that for every person grappling with substance misuse, a staggering 14 lives are impacted? But it doesn't stop there. Addiction's far-reaching consequences affect families, friends, and communities at large. The numbers might be even higher, revealing the urgency of addressing this issue.

🏠 A Fresh Approach to Recovery:
Traditional rehabilitation centers have their place, but they come with challenges – time off work, separation from family, and costs. Enter SP Bespoke Solutions, setting a new standard with rapid intervention and individualised care. Their dedication and expertise make all the difference.

🌟 The Power of Early Intervention and Education:
COVID-19 brought substance misuse into sharp focus as people were confined to their homes. Early recognition and seeking help became crucial. SP Bespoke Solutions emphasizes the need for education and intervention to prevent further harm and maintain family bonds.

🏛️ Government's Investment in Recovery:
While the government invests in recovery services, the conversation calls for a holistic approach. Legal measures might not be as effective as comprehensive support and therapy, in addressing the emotional and psychological facets of addiction.

❤️ Shig's Path to Recovery:
Shig's own journey to recovery is a testament to revisiting the past, embracing the good and the bad, and learning to love oneself. His approach involves clearing minds of negativity, offering "rent-free space" in heads, and empowering individuals to live without fear of substances.

🌠 Individualised Recovery, a Team's Dedication:
Shig and his team at SP Bespoke Solutions champion individualised recovery plans. Their mission? To help individuals reclaim their lives, mend relationships, and become positive contributors to their communities.
