23 JanDeep Breathing Benefits in Hypnosis

Essentially, the word hypnosis is just another word for relaxation. Yes hypnosis is brought on by suggestion, but it’s that deep state of relaxation that qualifies hypnosis. I sometimes use the term creative relaxation. When I say that, I’m referring to the fact that it’s the use of hypnosis that I call therapy. I’ve always defined hypnosis as just what it is, an altered state of awareness through deep relaxation.

Some people define relaxing as just taking time to read through a magazine or have a cup of tea. But really just changing activities is not relaxation. When you reach a state of total relaxation through hypnosis, you will see the difference. Read more…

23 JanThe Swinging Watch of Hypnosis

The whole idea of eye fixation has some merit. It’s true that concentration and focus are key ingredients in achieving hypnosis. And eye fixation was in fact used commonly, decades ago, in inducing hypnosis. The desired state of a hypnotic subject is to have them completely relaxed, eyes closed, so that their focus is internal, rather than external. To really shut out the external channels, you need to eliminate your visual sense temporarily, your external visual sense that is.  Eliminate what you see on the outside, so that you can focus on what you see inside your own psyche.

17 DecHow Hypnosis Can Help You To Develop Better Habits

Firstly, what is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of consciousness under which people become more suggestible to change.

The pioneer or father of modern hypnosis, Milton Erickson, in the 1950s, established that people could be induced into a relaxed or trance-like state, under which they could be subject to post hypnotic suggestions. His work was built upon and expanded by Bandler and Grinder in the 1970s and early 1980s to produce tools to enable use of hypnosis to modify behavior of a person to improve their state of being or to solve problems or undesirable habits.

Hypnosis is similar in a way to electricity; we have been using electricity for over 150 years but not many people can explain what electricity is, only what it does.

You flick the light switch, the light comes on.

Similarly with hypnosis, it can be seen as the process of shifting a person from one style of operating to another less habitual way that is more beneficial to the individual going forward into the future.

17 DecThe History Of Hypnosis- Back Door Secrets to Benefit Your Mindset

Hypnosis or hypnotic states have been known about for many centuries and probably for much further back into time as well.

While in this state, they would focus, visualize and return to their people with messages from their gods or prophecies for the future.

Common to all these early self-hypnotists was use of methods to focus their attention intensely to move the person out of his normal way of operating into different ways. The resulting change meant the holy man or witch doctor experienced himself so differently that it was considered to be a mystical or divine experience.

In modern times, the first person to use hypnosis significantly as a healing medium was the Frenchman, Franz Mesmer in the 17th century. Other French, English and Scottish medical people including neurologists subsequently used it and experimented with it.

The chief finding was that under the influence of a hypnotic state, people apart from being detached consciously, were more suggestible to new ideas regarding behavior change. Read more…
