Hypnosis

 

 Hypnosis


The word "hypnosis" comes from two Greek words - Hypnos and Pneuma - meaning sleep and spirit respectively. It is both a fascinating area of study with a long history of use in therapeutic contexts, and a phenomenon that many people know surprisingly little about.

Hypnosis is the induction of a state called trance, which is characterized by reduced sensorium, increased suggestibility and absorption, as well as intense focus on internal mental activity. A hypnotized individual becomes highly responsive to suggestions given to them while under hypnosis; indeed this responsiveness can be more pronounced than in waking life.

In the state of trance, the individual is not unconscious, but is not fully awake either. They are somewhere in between, and can still initiate voluntary actions - although they may do so without knowing it. In this state, they are at the complete mercy of their facilitator. The individual may become quite narrative and involved in their experience, aware of everything that is being said but unable to speak or move. They may become very agitated if an alternative suggestion is made for which they no longer feel a compulsion to follow through on. This is known as "negative amnesia" and is caused by the subconscious mind trying to protect itself from something that it is not yet ready to accept.

This portion of the article will examine some of the applications of hypnosis, and how it can be used in different areas of life such as self-development, group dynamics and other related subjects.

Hypnotherapy: A very common application of hypnosis is when a therapist uses various techniques to influence a patient while they are asleep. Many patients, especially those with long standing issues, are put into deep levels of trance before they undergo hypnosis. This allows the therapist to work on specific issues while they are less able to resist or feel pain at them. This can be used to help with phobias, psychosomatic pains, or chronic aches and pains. Hypnotherapy is also used in many cases of addiction treatment, whether it be alcoholism or drug abuse.

Spontaneous Hypnotic Psychotherapy: This refers to a type of therapy that does not require the patient to go into a deep level of trance, but instead utilizes what are known as "hypnotic phenomena" in order to affect change. Although in this case it is the therapist who effectuates the change through suggestions rather than directly, there is still a powerful effect here - especially when this therapy is compared to other forms of treatment.

Self Hypnosis: Self hypnosis is used to help people get to sleep more easily, relax more, and focus more effectively on a task at hand. This can be done very simply by lying down in a relaxed position, and allowing the mind to fall into a state of relaxation as it falls deeper and deeper into sleep. It has been proven many times over that self hypnosis is effective in helping people with insomnia, who may otherwise have a difficult time sleeping on their own.

Lucid Dreaming: People who are very familiar with themselves will often be aware of when they are "hypnotized" in some way - especially if they are part of the target target audience for this article. However not many people know that it is possible to "trance" in their sleep, and wake from it within the dream. This experience is known as "lucid dreaming," and although it is not the same as being hypnotized, the two terms are often used interchangeably.

Lucid Dreaming is a very powerful method of learning about oneself. The difference between a normal dream and a lucid dream is that the individual being lucid will remain conscious while they are dreaming, and will be able to control their environment while they are asleep. They will still generally be in a dream, but they will be fully aware of what is going on. They can choose to take actions within their dreams, or they can observe their environment and learn more about themselves through examining the experience.

People who have lucid dreams may often find that they remember some of the more intense ones, even if they only make brief observations in them. This memory is known as "astral projection," and it is a very powerful force that can help one understand themselves in ways that are not possible while awake. This induced daydream state is also known as "theta" and is a state of mind that is reached during hypnosis, deep meditative states, prayer, etc. It can be experienced after a powerful nightmare as well, and that can be the most intense type of experience because one is able to assess their psyche in ways which are often difficult to achieve when awake.

Bereavement: Bereavement refers to people going through the process of grieving after a loss. Although this can mean different things depending on who you are dealing with, it generally means that someone has suffered the loss of someone they were close to either through death or divorce. This can be a very painful process, and one that people can avoid for years. If a person is not able to fully deal with the pain of their loss, it will stay within them in some way - an echo of their reality that they cannot escape from. It may even become pathological if it is not dealt with properly.

This is where hypnosis can be used to allow someone to go through the process in a nice and safe setting. It allows them to properly grieve, mourn, and come to terms with the situation at hand. This allows them to move on with their life in a healthy manner instead of having lingering feelings of guilt or sorrow that prevent them from doing anything else.

Self-Hypnosis: Self-Hypnosis is used to help people get to sleep more easily, relax more, and focus more effectively on a task at hand. This can be done very simply by lying down in a relaxed position, and allowing the mind to fall into a state of relaxation as it falls deeper and deeper into sleep. It has been proven many times over that self hypnosis is effective in helping people with insomnia, who may otherwise have a difficult time sleeping on their own.

Why Not Stretch Master?

Stretching the body creates all kinds of new energy pathways within the body; this creates space that allows all kinds of energy flow and balance. Stretching helps to free areas that have been blocked from energy flow and also helps increase the healing power of the body.

Self-hypnosis is also a very powerful tool for driving change in the mind, body and spirit. Many people are not aware that when they are asleep, the subconscious mind is running just as much as when they are awake. It has been proven through various studies that this mind can completely affect health issues and conditions both while they are awake and while they are asleep.

How Can Hypnosis Help?



In most cases of treatment, professional hypnosis techniques can be used to help shift your conscious mind into a state of deep relaxation, with your body then following right along.

Conclusion

The Occult are those things that are hidden from peoples eyes. The word, the language, the form of thoughts and even the practice of ritual magic is what actually defines occultism. This is because there are many aspects to this practice which you will find a lot in cultures around the world and this means that there are alway new understandings about rituals that are slowly unfolding over time.

In ancient times, it was common for people to question all things in life; however, as years passed by scientists began to eliminate certain aspects of theories from their work. This led them to believe that the world truly works on Science and Religion do not hold any weight in an individuals life or development.
