Don’t take yourself to serious, have a bit of fun and live in the moment you’re given.

Gerald CrawfordGerald Crawford is the author of the book “Re-New Your Mind – A Book by Gerald Crawford” (2025).

In my life I have Studied Accountable Philosophy with Meditation and Healing. The last 5 years I have studied more than 10 different translations of the Tao Te Ching  by Lao Tzu for the last three years and now I act as a spiritual dula for other people. I have mainly based this book upon James Legge’s English translation 1891 and the 1948 translation by linguist Lin Yutang, a 1961 translation by author John Ching Hsiung Wu, a 1963 translation by sinologist Din Cheuk Lau, 1963 translation by professor Wing-tsit Chan and translations / versions by Stephen Mitchell, John H McDonald and Jonathan Star.

I wrote this book to address the holistic needs of the individuals and institutions (e.g. churches, companies, schools, prisons, etc). These needs include, physical, mental and spiritual. This position comes from a recognition that the individual is both multifaceted and interconnected and that issues in one area will invariably affect the others. 

The Tao Te Ching is one of the oldest books still in existence – and certainly one of the wisest and most profound. It presents an approach to life which is almost quite alien to our materialistic, consumer-driven modern society, but which I feel is more important than ever and is a way of reconnecting us to a more natural, balanced and peaceful mode of living and experiencing life.

Through Hypnosis we can work with past experiences, which are stored in our subconscious mind, and with a mature understanding of what happened we can start to bring about the changes we desire.

My one-on-one therapy sessions are conducted in a safe, supportive and confidential environment. All my sessions are client based, i.e. by connecting with your inner wisdom, you decide on the journey your therapy takes.

There are three different types of Hypnotherapy

Analytical hypnotherapy works on the basis that every symptom has a cause, in the same way that the term ’cause-and-effect’ works in other areas of life. Analytical hypnotherapy looks at the root cause of the problem. This system is based on the findings of Milton Erickson and the Analytical Hypnotherapy techniques of Dr R D Longacre.

Direct Suggestion hypnotherapy works on the symptom, seeking to relieve the symptom thereby giving the client a chance to change and heal as they see fit. This is an “old school” modality which is based on the founding principles of James Braid and James Esdaile. This is a very small part of hypnotherapy but because of entertaining stage shows, this is what most people associate hypnotherapy with.

Part Therapy hypnotherapy is an effective and simple tool similar Ego State Therapy that most main stream psychologists will be familiar with. The Parts that control the clients behaviours are addressed separately with the hypnotherapist acting as a mediator. The parts come to a successful resolution of the matter being addressed, and are then re-integrated in harmony with the client. This technique is based on the teachings of Charles Tebbetts and Roy Hunter.
