Hypnosis is a safe, holistic, scientifically-proven state of mind that uses powerful suggestions with a deep level of awareness. These suggestions are accepted and applied in useful, healthy, problem-solving and successful ways. With hypnosis, the mind is in a relaxed and high-functioning state at the same time. Hypnosis is a pleasant, relaxing experience. Afterwards, people often say they feel wonderful, and it’s like they have been on a sort of nap or vacation. In fact, many people want to stay in hypnosis longer!
When you are in hypnosis, your mind is working in a highly efficient mode, just like the state of mind of an athlete who is “in the zone”, or a leader achieving great success. You cannot do or say anything against your will while you are under hypnosis. You hear everything that is said. You go in an optimum state for your mind to accept and utilize positive suggestions, phrased so you can relate to them. We all go into a “trancelike” state every day, like when we daydream. Hypnosis has no side effects, causes no allergic reactions, is not addictive and is non-invasive. Phenomenal changes can be made in your life through hypnosis. The power of the mind is unlimited.
Here are just some of the issues Hypnosis can help with:
RELIEF FROM:
“The mind/body connection is now becoming more accepted as research reveals the effects of one on the other.”
Hypnosis is not:
Hypnosis is a naturally-occurring process or state of mind that most of us experience hundreds if not thousands times during our lives. This natural phenomenon of the mind usually contains all or some of the following characteristics:
These characteristics have enabled hypnosis to be used for a wide variety of conditions, disorders, and problems. One area of emerging importance is the use of hypnosis for pain management. In fact, hypnosis was recognized recently by the National Institutes of Health as the preferred complementary approach for treatment of pain associated with cancer. Research has also shown the benefits of hypnosis in conjunction with natural childbirth. These are just a few of the many areas in which hypnosis is successfully put to use as an adjunct to traditional medicine.
“Hypnosis is a procedure during which a health professional or researcher suggests that a client, patient, or subject experience changes in sensations, perceptions, thoughts, or behavior. The hypnotic context is generally established by an induction procedure. Although there are many different hypnotic inductions, most include suggestions for relaxation, calmness, and well-being. Instructions to imagine or think about pleasant experiences are also commonly included in hypnotic inductions. People respond to hypnosis in different ways. Some describe hypnosis as a normal state of focused attention, in which they feel very calm and relaxed. Regardless of how and to what degree they respond, most people describe the experience as very pleasant. Some people are very responsive to hypnotic suggestions and others are less responsive. A person’s ability to experience hypnotic suggestions can be inhibited by fears and concerns arising from some common misconceptions. Contrary to some depictions of hypnosis in books, movies or television, people who have been hypnotized do not lose control over their behavior. They typically remain aware of who they are and where they are, and unless amnesia has been specifically suggested, they usually remember what transpired during hypnosis. Hypnosis makes it easier for people to experience suggestions, but it does not force them to have these experiences. Hypnosis has been used in the treatment of pain, depression, anxiety, stress, habit disorders, and many other psychological and medical problems. However, it may not be useful for all psychological problems or for all patients or clients. Again, it is the opinion of the authors of this statement that the decision to use hypnosis as an adjunct to treatment can only be made in consultation with a qualified health care provider who has been trained in the use and limitations of clinical hypnosis. In addition to its use in clinical settings, hypnosis is used in research, with the goal of learning more about the nature of hypnosis itself, as well as its impact on sensation, perception, learning, memory, and physiology. Researchers also study the value of hypnosis in the treatment of physical and psychological problems.
