What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis
is an altered state of mind achieved through intense concentration or focus on
the part of the subject. The subject remains completely awake and aware of his
or her surrounding environment but the conscious mind slips into a state of
relaxation and calmness. When the subject is in a hypnotic trance, the
subconscious mind becomes more active and enables the subject to receive
suggestions from the hypnotist.
A
hypnotized mind is extremely pliable and open to receiving guidance from the
hypnotist. Clinical hypnosis may be defined as a natural and normal state of
focused, selective attention or a unique state of consciousness that can aid
behavior modification, healing, cure and self exploration.
Different
cultures have referred to hypnosis with different names in different eras, but
its healing powers have remained intact all through the centuries. Hypnosis is
an ancient therapeutic tool that has been used by people for thousands of
years.
How does Hypnosis Work?
Human
beings are endowed with experiences, talents and thoughts that they cannot
always use optimally for their own benefit. However when a trained clinical
hypnotherapist helps the human mind to enter into an absorbed state of
hypnosis, the patient is able to develop innate individual qualities, which can
bring about necessary changes in the thought process. This enables the patient
to modify his behavior or feelings or thinking patterns.
It is
rather impossible to make these changes or modifications consciously through
sheer will power. The hypnotic state of mind makes it possible to bring about
these alterations automatically, without involving any coercion or will power.
Hypnosis and Consciousness
The
origin of the word hypnosis lies in the Greek word ‘hypnos’ which means sleep
but hypnosis is not sleep and a hypnotized person is not asleep. The individual
may be in a relaxed, calm state of mind with his eyes closed, but he is
completely awake and conscious and is in a heightened state of awareness.
There
are no dangerous side effects of hypnotherapy, and hypnosis has never injured
or harmed any patient. Many patients fall asleep during hypnosis sessions but
they wake up after a brief cat nap feeling relaxed, rejuvenated and refreshed.
The patient usually remembers all the words spoken by the hypnotist and never
loses control over himself.
Can hypnosis cure any ailment?
Clinical
hypnosis has many uses and limitations. Hypnotherapy cannot cure cancer or
blindness but it can do a lot to ease the pain of cancer treatment or child
birth or a major surgery. Hypnosis is particularly useful for treating various
kinds of pain as well as for treating habit disorders, stress, anxiety
disorder, GAD, ADHD, depression and other kinds of psychological problems.
It can
also treat psychosomatic disorders such as obesity or skin diseases like acne,
psoriasis or eczema. You can also overcome bad habits, behavioral problems,
sleep disorders, irrational fears and phobias, panic disorders and addiction
problems through hypnotherapy.
Sometimes,
hypnosis is also used by medical professionals to treat cardiac problems, heart
ailments, respiratory ailments, high blood pressure, diabetes, severe cracks in
the feet, arthritis and cancer, usually in conjunction with traditional modes
of treatment.
