Panic Attacks
My Dad forwarded an e-mail to me today with an article from the Health Sciences Institute News letter. It was a story about a panic attack sufferer who got a major amount of relief by taking a supplement called Inositol (a natural substance found in the human body). Interestingly, she also used a specific mind control technique to take command of her thoughts.
“I came to realize the panic attacks were not uncontrollable once I understood how they started and grew. I was basically creating my own panic by bouncing back and forth between past guilts and fears, to future non-existent terrors. Back and forth, again and again.
“Now I anchor myself in the present. I force myself to think about what I’m saying, force myself to stop recalling past ‘nasties’ and force myself to stop imagining them as even nastier future outcomes. I stay right here, right now, in the present. It takes determination and effort, but it works.”

In my experience the more tools you have at your disposal the greater your chances of drug free relief. If a small dose of a supplement can help I’m not against it. I am against the pattern in our culture of treating the symptom but doing nothing for the cause.
The work I do with clients one on one and in my “Crush Anxiety” calls is all about clearing the root cause and having a full arsenal of easy to use tools to master your mind for a change. Using the NLP and Time Line Therapy™ processes I teach as well as Self Hypnosis and EFT (Emotional Freedom Technique) it is often possible to eliminate phobias, anxiety and panic attacks in a very short period of time. Everything I do is designed to put the client in a place of power where you are in charge of your own mind. Another point I want to make is that by working with your unconscious mind instead of fighting it, you don’t have to necessarily use “force” to control your mind.
A recent example of this is the client I worked with on Friday. Emily had been physically attacked in a public place some 14 years ago and up until Friday, whenever she went anywhere she fully expected to be attacked and hurt. Here’s the voice mail message she left me a day later:
“I feel great! I walked to the bank today and had no feeling of fear about getting shot. And I owe this to you. The old pattern is just a distant memory. I’m feeling really excellent and really happy.”
Notice she did not say, that as she walked to the bank she forced herself to think positive thoughts. The changes we make sometimes require conscious awareness but almost never “force”. The beauty of NLP and hypnosis is that once the changes are made on the unconscious level things just become different.
BTW Emily and I had a great time doing her foundation breakthrough session from 10 am-4 pm. The way i work is relaxed and safe. She has agreed to write about her experiences working with me so watch for a several part article by her in the near future.

Anxiety Treatment Questions
I got a comment today on my “How To Stop Anxiety in 10 minutes” video series. The questions were so well put and a perfect example of the questions I often get on this natural anxiety treatment nlp technique that I thought it would be helpful to share with you.
Mark, I think this is a very interesting NLP Jedi Mind Trick and I’ve been facing some difficulties but I truly want to master it.-
What happens if the fear that it won’t have a positive outcome comes back to you?
-
Also, when you go 15 minutes into the future should you float above that event or imagine literally you being 15 minutes into the future?
- Also, should you imagine the stressful event as not stressful when you float above it?
Thanks for your questions!
- What happens if the fear that it won’t have a positive outcome comes back to you? Fear that using the technique won’t have a positive outcome is exactly what you do that creates anxiety in the first place. It’s a catch 22 and a negative double bind. First do the technique on the technique itself! go out 15 minutes after the successful experience of using the technique and look back seeing it work.
- Also, when you go 15 minutes into the future should you float above that event or imagine literally you being 15 minutes into the future?When you are out in the future up above the event you want to be 15 minutes farther out looking down and back rather then right above the event.
- Also, should you imagine the stressful event as not stressful when you float above it? And yes, instead of imagining the stressful event as stressfull which your body experiences as real, use your powerful imagination to create a positive, desired outcome.
The whole point of this exercise is that we are creating anxiety with our “worst case scenario thoughts” but because of the position above and beyond the event on the time line this tool is 100 X more effective than positive thinking.
Your body will feel the difference.
Sometimes I have to go waaaaaay out and look waaaaaay back. Play with that and leave a comment below to let me know how it worked for you.
Thanks again for your questions and have an awesome day!
Yours,
Mark Shepard, NLPT – Master Practitioner & Trainer of NLP, Hypnosis, Timeline Therapy® & EFT

NLP Solution For Anxious Voters
As I went to check my e-mail on Yahoo.com today I noticed this headline. “Voters say anxiety increasing” Since helping people overcome anxiety with NLP, hypnosis, Time Line Therapy and EFT is a major part of my one on one practice, it got my attention.
Now normally I advise my clients to stop watching or listening to the news because it bombards your unconscious mind with a constant stream of negative, anxiety provoking, panic attack inducing input.
Anxiety is created by vividly imagining (consciously or unconsciously) the worst possible scenario. Your unconscious mind does not know the difference between what is real and what is imagined so it creates all the same fight or flight chemicals in your body as if it was real. That’s the mind body connection.
Those of us who suffer from anxiety are especially vulnerable to the negative news because we have powerful and vivid imaginations. So if you take into account the huge amount of bad news to come out of the financial markets in the last few weeks before the upcoming presidential election, it adds up to a massive voter anxiety attack.
So, even though I follow my own advice and avoid actively watching or listening to the news, the fear is all around us: The economy is in trouble. What’s going to happen? Is it the end of the world as we know it? Will there be mass hysteria? What is the collective power of millions of anxious minds focusing on the worst possible scenario or negative outcome?
There is so much fear surrounding all of us right now that you can not help but be aware of it.
All that being said, what can you do right now to lower your own anxiety or to help the people you love who may be suffering from anxiety?
Here are a couple of links to some NLP techniques you can access for free that might be of help:
How To Stop Anxiety In 10 Minutes or Less Without Drugs or Endless Therapy
How To Change Limiting Beliefs With NLP
My suggestion for today is to visit the links above, watch the videos and actually put the NLP techniques into practice. Right away. Once you lower your anxiety you can then install a new belief or “program” that there is more than enough, that you are okay, that you can even thrive and prosper in these exciting times.
