Hello, my name is Derek Ayre, and I have run and managed Ayre Hypnotherapy
since 1976. My aim is to assist visitors to this site improve the quality
of their life through interaction on my message board, via e-mail, instant
messenger or recommended books. The main aim of my website is to teach
people how to become their own therapist using self-hypnosis, meditation
techniques - becoming their own hypnotist.
It is through books that many people start to make a difference in their
lives and I fully believe in the power of the written word.
However, in improving self-development and self-esteem, the types of books
that are needed are those that will give you much more than just intellectual
information and knowledge. What is wanted and needed is the type of books
that will inspire you to take action - that means, the type of books to inspire
you to DO WHAT IT TAKES in your day-to-day life to improve the quality of
your life - inspire you to MAKE A DIFFERENCE. Because that is what we as
human beings aspire to. We really want to make a difference in some aspect
or anther. Ask yourself, "where do I want to make a difference?" or better
still, "where do I NEED to make a difference?"
It is no good reading a book and merely saying to yourself, "that sounds
like a good idea" and then doing nothing. You will need to commit to act
on the principles and instructions (if there are any) for a long enough period
of time to see whether or not a particular book works for you. Then, if it doesn't, move
on, look at something else. I firmly believe that there is an author out
there somewhere that will have written the sort of stuff that is in harmony
with your soul's aspirations and will change your life!
In Zen, it is said, when the student is ready, the master will appear. The
master comes to give vital information at the right time. The master can
come not only in the form of a person, but a book, life situation, internet
page or article or anything else. Then, once the letter is learned, the student
can discard that particular master, and choose to move on to the next. I
say "choose" because as human beings we always have a choice, a free will
about whether we continue to grow or stand still. And sometimes we may need
to stand still and take stock of where we have come from and where we are
going.
Below are some books, availabe in both U.K and U.S.A. that I have found invaluable
in my own growth and development as a Zen practitioner.
