From people who want to lose weight or quit smoking to individuals who are suffering from chronic pain, hypnosis can overcome and assist with many problems. By accessing the portions of the brain that work on instinct, the hypnotist can implant suggestions and beliefs that did not exist before, allowing people to overcome their own addictions or problems. Hypnosis can be a powerful tool for healing and relief, a way of helping to change a life or overcoming a problem.
Hypnotic states have been proven to relieve chronic pain in seventy-five percent of people it has been used on. Indeed, hypnotic suggestion is still used as an anesthetic in patients going in for dental and other types of surgeries to both relieve pain and reduce sensitivity to pain. These same procedures can be used outside of surgery, and have been to relieve pain from bone marrow transplants, burn injuries, and other types of long-lasting, deeply painful experiences. Hypnosis can also be used on a person suffering from chronic pain to relieve the levels of pain being experiences.
There are many ways that hypnosis can be used to benefit a person’s life, including positive thought reinforcement for athletes or other high-performance professionals, or negative reinforcements for people trying to quit an addictive behavior such as smoking, overeating, or gambling.
However it is used, proper hypnosis can create a better way of life for the patient. It is much, much more than just stage shows and light entertainment. It is a life-altering tool of tremendous power and ability.
