HYPNOSIS Article appearing Your Health Magazine, March 1, 2009

What is hypnosis? There area multitude of answers. If you asked a group of hypnotists you would get just as many answers. All do agree that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Basically we can say that it is a state where the conscious mind is so distracted and relaxed that it allows messages to get through to the subconscious. It is a tool for change that enables the conscious and subconscious to work together in a healthy way.

From childhood on we are all hypnotized in various ways (parents, teachers, TV, peers, etc.) to certain beliefs about life, the way we are, our limitations, talents, that we lose power as we age and many other negative beliefs that can lead to stress, unhappiness, emotional pain and disease.

Hypnosis has many skeptics because of media misinformation. We remember movies; television stage entertainers giving visions of hypnosis that are not accurate, but more entertaining and amusing. Hypnosis is not mind control or brainwashing. The client is in control at all time. You do not become a robot or surrender your will. You will never say or do anything that is against your value system. It does not create amnesia. Hypnosis is not part of the occult nor is it supernatural.

Self-talk is a form of self-hypnosis. We all do it every day. Pay attention to your self- talk. Are you telling yourself positive, encouraging, self-esteem building messages or do they tend to be negative. For example smokers say it’s too hard to quit smoking. The same is true about diets and other behaviors we want to change. I can’t do it. It’s too hard. These messages become negative habits implanted in the subconscious: self-fulfilling prophecies become behaviors that are difficult to break

Can I be hypnotized?
This is a very common question. The vast majority of people can be hypnotized and especially id they want and expect to be. Expectation + Belief = Hypnosis. If someone does not want to be hypnotized they will not be..

Hypnosis is a wonderful tool for self-change because it reaches the subconscious and helps us communicate with it One learns to use self-talk, images and affirmations that enhance physical and mental performances and meet other life goals. Exploration and documentation of civilization proves that most discoveries, significant material and insights emerged from the subconscious during moments of relaxation and rest. Einstein openly admitted that “imagination was more important than knowledge.”

The Russians have long been known for their use of hypnosis and mental imaging. In preparation for the 1980 Olympics they divided their athletes into four groups. The first group did only physical training. The second did 25% mental and 75% physical, the third did 50% of each and the fourth did 75% mental and 25% physical. The group that did 75% mental won the most medals. Jack Nicklaus, the world famous golfer, said his success was 10% swing, 40% set up and stance and 50% mental picture. The central nervous system does not differentiate between deep-seated mental programming for an activity and the actual physical activity. Hypnosis encourages and helps this mental programming. It is a wonderful tool to help and guide you on your path to self-fulfillment joyous and happy life.
