Hypnosis; Modern Applications of Ancient Healing Wisdom

How Does Hypnosis Work?

Hypnosis allows one to tap in to the subconscious mind, where all of one’s life experience information is stored. All of our experiences have been instrumental in shaping our mental, emotional, & physical patterns of health, attitude, behavior, coping, and learning. We’ve all had fearful, injurious, and traumatic, as well as successful, triumphant, and empowering experiences in our lives. In fact, some of these life-shaping experiences occurred when we were still in the womb, being born, and during our infancy and childhood. The subconscious mind records, and retains, absolutely everything that we experience, even things we don’t consciously remember! Very early successes can program us for future success, and very early trauma can initiate the negative patterns we find hindering yet difficult, or impossible, to change later in life.

When we are willing, we can employ the power of the mind to release unconscious and limiting emotions, beliefs, and patterns, thereby clearing the obstacles to freedom, growth, and joy. We can achieve clarity and understanding of what our true needs and desires are, we can choose and set our thoughts and attentions, and also focus the powerful positive energy of our thoughts and attentions on achieving what it is we really do want. When we are focused on “reaching for what we do want”, we are far more likely to get what we want than when we are focused on “pushing against what we don’t want”.

How Can I benefit from Hypnosis? Hypnosis has many, many applications, some or which are listed here: Stress reduction; pain management; enhancing the immune system, healing, and other body functions; releasing anxiety, fears and phobias; cessation of smoking, addictions, and habit disorders; enhancing self-esteem, self-efficiency, self-understanding, and self-confidence; rectifying sexual dysfunction and relationship problems; achieving pleasurable childbearing, clearing birth trauma, and correcting gynecological issues; releasing obesity and eating disorders; improving concentration, academic, and athletic performance; age regression, age progression, and time distortion; and pediatric problems like thumb sucking, bedwetting, stuttering, asthma, and insomnia. Within these broad categories and others, there are literally hundreds of specific and particular applications and approaches to resolving the inner conflict and turmoil that often manifest as physical dis-ease.

Using Hypnosis Effectively There are several ways to use hypnosis; one very typical way is to address a problem directly. There are times when addressing a problem directly is expedient and efficient…the problem disappears and that’s that, problem solved! Another way to utilize hypnosis is to address the underlying cause is; in a state of hypnosis the cause is identified, recognized, resolved, and the limiting pattern disappears on its own. These examples are but two of the many ways to become free from what is standing between you and health, harmony, and success.

Many people have found not only freedom, but also harmony, growth, and joy by tapping their most abundant and powerful resources – their own mind – through hypnosis. Whenever you’re ready, you too can emerge effortlessly into your full potential.
