Hypnosis

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a unique trance-like mental state that is induced by a structured pattern of suggestions, usually aural or verbal, beginning with a suggestion to the subject to relax. Hypnotic suggestions may be promoted by a hypnotist directly to the subject, or they may be self-induced (autohypnosis, more popularly known as self-hypnosis).

It was believed for many decades that hypnosis was a form of unconsciousness or semi-consciousness. Today we know that hypnosis is actually a fully awakened state of a more acutely focused attention level coupled with a perhaps heightened suggestibility, including a diminished awareness of the peripheral environment.

Most psychiatric experts today agree that hypnosis may produce a subtle or even a complete change in subjective experience. Hypnosis can therefore change perceptions, thought and behavior patterns, physical sensations or emotions. The hypnotic state may also bring about changes in the body. It has been used successfully as an alternative to anesthesia, a treatment for irritable bowel syndrome, and it has been studied as a way to soothe skin and other ailments.

In the 1700’s Franz Mesmer theorized there was magnetic fluid surrounding our bodies and he experimented with healing magnets to control and correct the magnetic field. Later he discovered quite by accident that a similar effect could be produced by waving his hands in front of the face of the subject. Even though Mesmer’s theories were later discredited, the results he attained with his subjects have had a profound influence on modern day hypnosis. This is where the word ‘mesmerize’ comes from - the name of Franz Mesmer.

The word 'hypnosis' itself is the invention of 19th century Scottish physician James Braid, and actually comes from 'hypnos' which is the Greek word for sleep.

In today’s contemporary times, Self-Hypnosis is successfully utilized by people who want to reduce stress, lose weight and quit smoking. It’s also used as a healing, motivational and master manifestation technique. Probably the most accurate way of defining hypnosis is to simply call it "guided meditation." Since many of us enter a meditative or "trance" state while listening to music, watching TV, listening to a good speaker or a good sermon at church, in an elevator, reading a good book, or even sometimes while driving a car when you can't consciously remember how you got somewhere and you were operating in autopilot mode!  

Self-Hypnosis can be used for a variety of purposes. Self-Hypnosis is basically defined as the act of programming your mind to accomplish the tasks you want. You can use Self-Hypnosis techniques to modify or eliminate destructive behavior patterns, improve creativity, remembering a certain incident or experience, and training your subconscious to influence your conscious mind to do what you want it to. Many people use Self-Hypnosis to change a certain characteristic about themselves. Hypnosis helps clear you mind and allows you to get to the root of your problems and resolve them. From everyday situations to specific individual intentions, Self-Hypnosis holds the key to achieving the prosperity you want. Hypnosis is an effective mental tool that is practiced regularly by psychiatrists, medical professionals, and new age healers and masters. There has been massive studies done on Self-Hypnosis proving thit's effectiveness at harnessing the power of the mind.
