When we think about hypnosis, Igor Ledochowski is one of the first names that come to our mind. Igor Ledochowski is a well known author and hypnotist and has earned respect both for his knowledge and practices in hypnosis as well as his skills in training others to use hypnosis. He is the author of several books and courses about the subject and he has developed several or the well known concepts in NLP.

Ledochowski earned his LLB in law the year 1996. He specialized in European law. After two short years he was employed at the law firm Linklaters. During his school years and years as an employee, Igor grew more and more fascinated by the way the human mind works. He invested his time in understanding how he could use the power of the mind to improve his academic results. He learned how to gain success through alternative thinking and preparation. His mission in life was to understand how the secrets of the human mind could be unlocked.

One of the subjects Igor Ledochowski found in his research into the human mind was an introduction to Ericksonian Hypnosis. He fell in love with these teachings and decided to leave his job to invest his time to learn more about the art of hypnosis. Some of the master hypnotists who influenced Igor Ledochowski were Paul McKenna, Stephen Brooks, Richard Bandler and Stephen Gilligan.

Ten years after he started to study hypnosis, Igor Ledochowski was a respected name in the field of hypnotherapy. He was known as one of the most knowledgeable people in the knowledge field in the UK and powerful organizations hired him for consultancy work. He also held conferences in hypnosis at the London College of Clinical Hypnosis and the Hypnotherapy Association.

In addition to doing his consultancy work he released several books. In 2003 he released “The Deep Trance Training Manual.” This book is to date regarded as one of the most essential books in the field of learning hypnosis.

With the interest and passion Igor Ledochowski had in using the human mind to improve himself and others, he later became the head trainer for NLP & Hypnosis for Easy Stop. Easy Stop is a foundation working with helping people to overcome destructive behaviors like smoking and over-eating. Igor also works with a new concept of iMethod. iMethod is a method to use the power of the mind to show people how to control how they think and feel and how to change their behaviors towards a more positive result.

Alcohol will effect a person well before the legal limit of intoxocation is reached. The question stands that should a person be behind the wheel with any amount of alcohol in their system? Is ‘buzzed’ driving drunk driving or legal? There has been much research showing impairment of the system beginning at amounts far below the level required to be considered guilty of drunken driving.

All 50 states have designated a blood alcohol concentration (BAC) of .08 to be the legal limit for drunk driving. Reaching this limit can vary from person to person based on a number of factors such as Size, gender, physical condition, how much you have eatten, how much sleep you have had, if you are taking any medications, and the actual alcohol content of your chosen “drink.”

This can equate to the 180 pund male reaching the limit after having a total of four drinks. A 120 pound female can reach this limit after only two drinks.

At a .08 BAC level, drivers are so impaired that they are 11 times more likely to have a single-vehicle crash than drivers with no alcohol in their system. But 25 years of research has shown that some impairment begins for both males and females even after one drink. .02 BAC Level At the .02 blood alcohol concentration level, experiments have demostrated that people exhibit some loss of judgment, begin to relax and feel good. But tests have also shown that drivers at the .02 level experience a decline in visual functions, affecting their ability to track a moving object, and experience a decline in the ability to perform two tasks at the same time.

But tests have also shown that drivers at the .02 level experience a decline in visual response affecting their ability to track a moving object, and experience a decline in the ability to perform two tasks at the same time. This level also might also experience lightheadedness. These changes may be very subtle and barely noticable to the person who has had only one drink, but in an emergency situation while behind the wheel of a motor vehicle, they could cause the driver to react (or not react) as they would without having had a drink.

.05 BAC Level - At the .05 BAC level, people begin to exhibit exaggerated behavior. They may experience loss of small-muscle control such as being able to focus their eyes quickly and suffer impaired judgment, lowered alertness and a release of inhibition.

Upon reaching the borderline of the legal limit of .08, many deficiences are evident. Intoxication creates poor muscle coordination that can affect balance, speech, vision, reaction time and hearing. It is more difficult to detect dangers, and most exhibit impaired judgement, self-control, reasoning ability and memory.

.08 BAC Level - For someone drinking who is approaching the borderline of legal intoxication, research shows that they will have poor muscle coordination even affecting their balance, speech, vision, reaction time and hearing. They find it more difficult to detect danger, and exhibit impaired judgement, self-control, reasoning ability and memory.

A driver with a BAC of .08 will find it more difficult to concentrate and might even have some short term memory loss. There is difficulty in judging the speed of the vehicle, and the experience of reduced information processing capability. They will exhibit impaired perception. At a .08 BAC level, drivers are so effected that the relative risk of a single- vehicle crash is 11 times more likely than drivers with no alcohol in their body. This risk is 52 tines higher for males! But 25 years of research has shown that some impairment begins for both men and women even after one drink.

For the drinker, the above impairments may be hardly noticeable at the time, but the slow reaction times that they can create could be fatal in a emergency driving situation. No matter the situation, it is not a good idea to drive no matter how much or how little that you have had to drink. Further consideration is alcohol tolerance. Alcohol affects people differently. Some people have a higher response to drinking alcohol than others. Simply put, Those drinkers with a high response to alcohol can experience signs of impairment at the .02 BAC level whereas others do not experience effects until the .05 level.

For all of these statistics, some states have changed their views on what is drunk driving. Drivers can be arrested for being impaired even if their blood alcohol concentration is lower than the legal .08 limit. If a law enforcement officer believes he has probable cause based on the behavior and reactions of the driver they can take the driver into custody. No amount of alcohol can justify the potential of harm to yourself or others and with the possibility of death or a police record, the safest bet is to pass on that drink you have to drive.
