How Does Hypnosis Work?

1. Parasympathetic Nervous System Activation

Within the autonomic system are two divisions : the sympathetic & the para-sympathetic divisions.
The sympathetic division causes the heart to beat faster and more strongly, the blood pressure to rise, respiration to accelerate, releases blood sugar from the liver and adrenalin from the adrenal glands.
The parasympathetic division and the Vagus nerve slows the heartbeat, reduces blood pressure, produces responses typical of periods of rest and relaxation. The parasympathetic responds in such a way as to restore calm and it conserves the body's energy.
The condition of "stage fright" is a perfect example .
Stage fright includes knees and hands shaking, heart beating faster and faster, perspiration increasing on the palms and face, the stomach having unpleasant fluttering or hollow feelings.
These symptoms are caused by the sympathetic nervous system's response to the person's fear of standing & speaking before a group.
This constitutes an "emergency" situation and the body prepares for a fight or flight response.
Hypnosis would be used in a calm atmosphere to activate the para-sympathetic nervous system.
The subject would be taught relaxation away from the actual stage.
Once the subject is able to achieve a calm state – he/she will be asked to imagine looking at the stage, walking toward the stage, walking onto the stage and speaking to the audience.
So through the use of Hypnosis, Hypnotherapists can beneficially control the autonomic nervous system.


2. Brain Wave Patterns

Research suggests that the Hypnotic state creates changes in the Brain-Wave of the subject which vastly affects human behavior.

The beta brain-wave state (14-30 cps)
- normal, awake, conscious activity of the brain
- a state of full alertness, physical activity and excitement
- Emotional sensations include anger, worry, fear, anxiety, tension, surprise, hunger and excitement
- A transition occurs with the onset of Hypnosis. As the Hypnotic subject begins to relax, an alpha brain-wave state is achieved.

The alpha brain-wave state (8-13 cps)
- is a state of beginning relaxation where the mind is relaxed but alert.
- Emotional sensations include a sense of well-being, pleasure and tranquility.
- Hypnosis has been shown to span the alpha to alpha-theta to theta brain-wave states.
- In the alpha state, a person is capable of accelerated learning, healing of psychosomatic illnesses, increased creativity and memory improvement.

The theta brain-wave state ( 4-8 cps)
- is one of tranquility, creativity and very deep relaxation.
- Emotional sensations include restful alertness, uncertainty, daydreaming and deep tranquility.
- Theta state is known to increase efficiency in problem solving, perceptual processing and memory retention.

The delta brain-wave state (.05-4 cps)
- is the state experienced in the deepest stages of sleep, a state of total unawareness, of unconsciousness.
- There are no feelings in this state, hence no emotional sensations are associated with the delta state.

How Effective Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis helps one release natural chemical brain tranquilizers. Because stress is thought by many to be a major contributing factor in numerous illnesses, hypnotherapists are able to effect positive results by helping people lower blood pressure, heart rate, and anxiety levels.

Want to quit smoking...lose weight...have a better life?

Hypnosis can help!

Your sub-conscious mind is a powerful tool and when given the proper suggestions, will go to work to accomplish the goals you set for it. Even people with serious illnesses can benefit from hypnosis.

Researchers at Ohio State University in Columbus, Ohio found that people with cancer who used hypnosis while receiving chemotherapy felt more relaxed, better prepared for their treatment and more positive about care than those who didn't use the technique.

Visualization and other relaxation methods may produce significant benefits, often by helping to ease pain and lift depression. Research is continuing to determine whether even more spectacular results can be achieved.

Hypnosis, when done by a professional Hypnotherapist, poses neither risk nor any adverse effects

Who can be Hypnotised?

Virtually anyone can be hypnotised – some more easily than others.
Like anything else in life, the more people practice self-hypnosis, the more easily they can slip into that wonderful relaxed state.
The depth that people reach in hypnosis varies between individuals.
It is not necessary to achieve a very deep level of hypnosis to bring about change to habits and conditions that are having a negative impact either mentally or physically.
A common myth about hypnosis is when a person says, ‘No one can hypnotise me, I’m too strong minded’.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis and you choose to become hypnotised.
A strong-minded individual can still go into hypnosis provided they are committed to wanting it to work for them.

What Hypnotherapy is NOT?

Stage and TV shows can often give the wrong image of hypnosis, sometimes suggesting a loss of control and dignity. A hypnotherapist must follow a professional code of ethics. A client should always be able to expect absolute professionalism, confidentiality and trust from his/her hypnotherapist. The main objective of a hypnotherapist is to ensure that the client greatly benefits from each session and leaves feeling much more positive and optimistic. Also the hypnotherapist assists the client in Helping themselves through self-hypnosis & suggestions in lifestyle changes.

Everyday forms of Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a natural mental state. For example, children are often in a state of self-hypnosis when they are playing imaginary games. Actors and athletes often use it to improve their performance.
Because people are open to suggestion while in a hypnotic state, they can learn to change their thoughts, feelings, behavior, and attitudes. Every day people slip into natural hypnotic states when they become absorbed in watching television, reading a book, day-dreaming or driving their car when they suddenly realise that they have missed their exit.
