Hypnosis Today:
Looking beyond the media portrayal
While you may think of hypnosis as something you see only
in the movies or novels, hypnosis is used in real life as part
of the treatment plan for people with numerous health ailments
ranging from depression to gastro-intestinal disorders. Based
on research showing that hypnosis can help people manage – and
in some cases recover from illness, hypnosis is becoming a
more common part of many patients’ recommended health
treatment.

changes in sensations, perceptions,
thoughts, or behavior. Although some hypnosis is used to make
people more alert, most hypnosis includes suggestions for
relaxation, calmness, and well-being. Instructions to imagine or
think about pleasant experiences are also commonly included during
hypnosis. People respond to hypnosis in different ways. Some
describe hypnosis as a state of focused attention, in which they
feel very calm and relaxed. Most people describe the experience as
pleasant.
For
centuries, Human Kind has been using altered states of
consciousness to assist in bringing healing and balance to the
Body, Mind & Spirit.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a safe and effective therapeutic method of
temporarily bypassing the critical factor of the conscious
mind, which controls what information, is processed by the
subconscious mind. The hypnotic state also may give one a
feeling of profound mental and physical relaxation. While
being extremely focused and alert mentally, the hypnotherapist
assists you by making positive, helpful suggestions directly
to your ever-alert subconscious mind; thus, making you the
master of your conscious efforts.

Practical Uses for Hypnosis
In addition to its use in therapeutic settings, hypnosis is
used in research and forensic settings. Researchers study the
value of hypnosis in the treatment of physical and
psychological problems, and examine the impact of hypnosis on
sensation, perception, learning, and memory.
Myths About Hypnosis
The hypnotist does not impose his will on the subject, but
instead he acts as a guide helping the subject find his way to
a state he enters daily. Everyday states which are similar to
hypnosis are reading, watching TV, or driving a car on a long
stretch of highway to the point you lose conscious awareness
of what is going on around you.
During any form of hypnosis, you cannot be made to do anything
against your morals. Nor will a subject remain in a trance
state indefinitely. The reason for this is that all hypnosis
is self hypnosis. The hypnotherapist is simply a facilitator
assisting you in achieving your desired state of relaxation.

We used to say "seeing
is believing". Now as a result of studies done in the area of
Quantum Physics, we know that "believing is seeing”. Once we
congruently believe something, it becomes manifest in our
lives. We are our thoughts. This is not just about positive
thinking; it is about congruently believing those thoughts.
Because our Unconscious Mind operates behind the scenes,
playing out the programs that it has been given in the past,
it is essential to release the old programs in order to allow
new, healthier ones to form. The problem with traditional
change processes is that often it requires conscious effort
and will power to maintain the changes. Once the changes
happen in the Unconscious Mind, the new behavior operates on
it's own.
