Series (5 part) on Hypnosis, NLP, Hypnotherapy, for TMJ pain and connected issues. Article 2 of 5 re Grinding of teeth.

TMJ is a term used to describe the temporo-mandibular joint, which connects the mandible (jawbone) to the skull. It allows you to move your jaw up and down and from side to side, so that you can talk, chew, and yawn.

Grinding and clenching your teeth is a widespread and an unpleasant problem. It may sound relatively harmless, but continually grinding and gnashing your teeth, may become a habit which can lead to long-term damage to your teeth. The medical name for this condition is known as Bruxism, and unfortunately many people do not even seem to realise that they have the condition.

If you are struggling to come to terms with heartbreak, the key to helping you to get over it is to acknowledge your loss and accept the fact that what happened has now become part of your past.

High blood pressure, or hypertension, is a sneaky disease that can have a devastating effect on your mind and body, causing health problems closely related to the heart, cardiovascular system, as well as other organs such as the liver and kidneys. It is ranked as one of the main causes of death worldwide – and is no respecter of age.

There are several causes of hypertension, but very few symptoms. Research has suggested that medical issues aside, anxiety and stress are major contributors to blood pressure problems. Sometimes classic anxiety symptoms such as nervousness, a rapid heart rate, difficulty breathing, and chest pain, may signify an anxiety disorder, and perhaps even high blood pressure.

The mind is without doubt the most powerful tool that humans have. It is the root of everything we are, and all that we hope to be. The mind consists of 2 major parts, the conscious mind, and the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where everything is stored that happens, a mix of good memories, bad memories, harmful thoughts, unresolved trauma, and other issues of baggage we may drag with us.

There are certain triggers in the subconscious mind that can cause the conscious mind to react and respond in behaviours which are not always beneficial. Many of these behaviour patterns are negative, and result in stress and anxiety, which is a huge factor in high blood pressure issues.
