| Hypnosis |
Hypnosis is a therapeutic tool that leads to deep relaxation,
focused attention, and heightened imagination. This enables the
mind to become more focused and responsive to imagery and
suggestion. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the
feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie. Or the experience of
a child entering and imagining the unfolding of a bedtime story.
You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli
around you, and You focus intently on the subject at hand, to the
near exclusion of any other thought.
The mind and body are inextricably intertwined as a unitary
mind-body. In the hypnotic state, the subconscious mind and
imagery, have a powerful effect on the body. The communication
and interaction of the mind-body works more effectively.
Suggestions in the form of words, ideas, images, metaphors, and
imagination provide the mind-body with information that stimulates
healing responses. These responses include pain relief,
diminishing stress response, decreased anxiety, deep
physiological relaxation, decreased blood pressure, enhancing the
immune function, decreased anxiety, treating insomnia,
accelerating recovery after surgery, changing behaviors, and
learning new patterns.
Hypnosis is frequently used in conjunction with biofeedback in the
treatment of pain, insomnia, and anxiety and preparation for
surgery. , The combination of biofeedback and hypnosis produces
effective results in a short period of time. Hypnosis is pleasant and
relaxing. Many people are amazed by this mind-body effect with
this simple and powerful technique.
