Controlling the mind is the most powerful tool known to mankind. But the perception of how we see ourselves, our behavior patters, our mental and physical well-being can sometimes become flawed and create internal havoc and turmoil.
Perception can cause a small or thin woman to see herself as a large, or an attractive woman to see herself as unattractive. It can cause a healthy person to see themselves as unhealthy, or an otherwise loving relationship destroyed. “Full conscious awareness is where we spend most of our waking hours,” comments John Owens, certified hypnotherapist and student of Dr. Milton Erickson’s, Hypnotherapy Programming which began in the early 1920s.
In this conscious state, our minds are attentive, uses logic to reason, evaluates, assesses, judges, and makes decisions. And sometimes when making life changes, the conscious mind can often get in the way. But in the Hypnotic State, the doorway between the conscious and the subconscious is opened, memories become easily accessible, and new information is stored.
”In the hypnotic state, you are not really thinking in the traditional sense,” Owens says. “You are experiencing without questioning, without critical judgment or analysis. And the hypnotist can make suggestions that are very likely to stick because your conscious mind is not getting in the way. You are not judging or being critical of the suggestions.”
Maximizing Potential
Hypnotherapy can also help boost self-confidence and heighten self-motivation and discipline. It has been helpful in assisting in the process of behavior modification in children and adults, control PMS symptoms, increase memory capacity and recall, assists with treatment to strengthen the immune system and response to relaxation, and maximizes the achievement of better grades in school or college.
Maury M. Breecher, Ph.D., M.P.H, also confirms that hypnotherapy is noted to deal with such conditions as the pain and nausea associated with cancer and chemotherapy and HIV/AIDS, and helps strengthen the immune system.
G. Edwards Riley, M. Div., CH, Certified Master Hypnotherapist, and C.J. Newton, MA, recently published in the Mental Health Journal that hypnotherapy has also been known to deal with more serious situations. In the White Paper Empirical Findings on the Uses of Hypnosis in Modern Mediine Riley and Newton take a critical look at the benefits for symptoms of Asthma, Chronic Fatigue Syndrome, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Chemotherapy-Induced Nausea, The Pain of Cancer, Fybromyalgia, and other conditions.
Critical Findings in Hypnotherapy
In the United States alone two-thirds of the adult population are overweight, one-third smoke cigarettes, and 70 percent suffer from some form of insomnia. Hypnotherapy can deal with a number of health and non-health related issues, such as habit control—smoking, nail biting, control of fears and phobias, addictions, depression, emotional problems, weight loss and weight management, stress management, and sports performance enhancement.
In 1958, hypnosis was approved by the American Medical Association as an ethical medical treatment. According to a study conducted in Europe and America, it was found that approximately 50 to 75 percent of the patients who visited doctors had pain that was originated from either a mental or emotional illness. Hypnosis, defined as a state of altered awareness and increased suggestibility by a skilled hypnotist, can cause the patient to be open to and accept a variety of carefully controlled therapeutic suggestions directed towards a specific goal.
Once hypnotized, the therapist can guide you through something by suggestion. Your unconscious acceptance of the suggestion is because you want to do it. You must be a willing participant!
