      Hypnosis Why's and Whats

      Why should I bother to learn Hypnosis?

      Almost 80%of physical and psychological problems are stress-related. And, since relaxation forms the core of all hypnotic procedures, it enables us to exclude anxiety and tension from our normal thought cycles. Moreover, the use of suggestions can help us achieve our goals in a very creative, stress-free manner.

      Application of hypnosis for healing clinical diseases:

      Few therapies in the history of medicine have enjoyed simultaneously such widespread acclaim and such universal condemnation as has hypnosis. To some extent those opposing attitudes still prevail. However, recent years have witnessed commendable advances in experimental and therapeutic hypnosis which have tended to establish hypnotherapy firmly as a scientific treatment method. The first major breakthrough in its acknowledgment came in the late 1950s, when the American Medical Association recognized its as an effective tool to help shell-shocked soldiers overcome the trauma of war. Today, its legitimacy as a medical therapeutic tools is also acknowledged by the British Medical Associated.

      Although hypnosis can considerably aid in the directing and speeding up of cures of a number of problems, it must not be regarded as a cure-all. Further, the fact that hypnosis is helpful in healing clinical disease, shouldn't' s imply that you discontinue the treatment prescribed by your physician. The two forms of aid work very well in partnership, especially in the early days of the treatment One can, however, gradually reduce the intake of medication as the treatment proceeds.

      Why can hypnosis be of such a great help in medical therapy?

      Most disease have two aspects to them : the first is the physical aspect, and the second is the psychological aspect. It is seen that most patients look at the cure from the physical angle, leaving aside even the most basic of the psychological angle. This is especially true in the case of stress-related diseases such as arthritis, where the psychological aspect is not very apparent.

      How does hypnosis compare with meditation and yoga?

      All these process involve physical relaxation and a narrowing of consciousness. In the case of hypnosis, its it task or goal oriented, as we are mentally working on something such as weightlessness. In meditation and yoga, on the other hand, consciousness is "free-floating" and it may lead to a greater sense of expand awareness. Many mediators use hypnosis and can slip from one state to another quite easily.

      COMMON MISCONCEPTIONS REGARDING HYPNOSIS

      Myth#1: The hypnotist can make you do things against you will.
      Absolutely false. The hypnotist has no powers over you at all, and cannot make you do things against your will. All hypnosis is self myth's. The hypnotist merely guides you into a hypnotic state, and feeds your mind with carefully worded suggestions. If you felt uncomfortable with these suggestions, you may reject them at will. Hypnosis is essentially a matter of cooperation between the hypnotist and his subject, not some form of power the hypnotist possesses which will compel the subject to submit to his or her will.

      Myth#2: Once under hypnosis, one can't come out of it on his own
      If you are under hypnosis and the hypnotist suddenly left the room, two things may happen. You will either realize that the hypnotist is no longer talking to you, and will open your eyes, feeling fresh and alert. Or you may drift into natural sleep, in which case you will wake up after a few minutes (or hours.)

      Myth#3: Only weak-minded people can be hypnotized
      False, Hypnosis has nothing to do with will power. People often confuse hypnotizes with gullibility. There is no connection between the two. On the contrary, the more intelligent a person is, the easier it is for him to be hypnotized. To be hypnotized one needs the abilities of concentration, imagination and vivid visualization.

      Myth#4: Under hypnosis, one can be made to reveal his secrets
      As already mentioned, under hypnosis the subject is fully alert, in fact more alert, in fact more alert than usual. The hypnotist can only guide the subject to remember forgotten memories. Whether the subject will reveal them to the hypnotist is entirely at his own discretion.

      Myth#5: Hypnosis is dangerous
      Untrue. It is quiet the opposite. Hypnosis is safe and natural process. One fact that most people are unaware of is that we undergo hypnosis several times in our daily lives. For example, while driving along a highway, very often, people suddenly discover that they had "Lost" consciousness for several minutes. This is actually an example of momentary hypnotism.

      Myth#6: One needs special powers to be hypnotized
      Any average person with the willingness and patience to learn, can master the skills of hypnosis. Like other skills such as playing the piano, or learning a foreign language, some people are "naturals", and become accomplished with little training while others can increase their abilities only through regular practice. A good, confident voice is an advantage, but not a must.

      Myth#7: Under hypnosis, the subject is totally unconscious
      At all times during the course of a hypnotic session, you will be able to hear and think. You are aware of what is going on around you. Although you body is very relaxed, your mind is actually more alert than usual. Many people are worried by stage hypnosis and the fact that the subjects, many of whom do ridiculous things during the session, seem to have no knowledge of anything around them. The unfortunate part of such an activity is that it often freights away those people who could really benefit from hypnotherapy, but are afraid of losing control.

      Myth#8: The user might become dependent on hypnosis
      You cannot become dependent upon hypnosis because it has no physical effects on the body. However, many people look forward to their hypnosis exercises because they become totally relaxed and awaken refreshed.
