Welcome, There is a vast power within you. Think for a moment about the last time you got a minor scratch or cut in your skin. What happened with that scratch or cut? Usually it seals itself back up and repairs itself. Probably without you even thinking about it.

Our bodies are miracles, and they are constantly seeking a state of optimal well-being. Thinking is not required. In fact, ‘thinking’ – depending on what thoughts we hold – may even inhibit our body’s natural healing response.

Hypnosis addresses several very important aspects of our body’s physiology and ability to heal itself.

ONE: When in Hypnosis, clients typically experience and extraordinary state of physical, mental, and emotional relaxation. More importantly, in hypnosis positively influences our Autonomic Nervous System, relaxing the sympathetic nervous response (fight or flight) and stimulating a parasympathetic drive.

A parasympathetic drive is very important for the healing of the body. Think about it. When a person is in danger or perceiving danger, the entire body functions differently. For example, blood flows to the largest muscle groups preparing for ‘fight’ or ‘flight’. Where does this blood flow from?  Away from our digestive system, our immune system, and from any bodily function that is unnecessary in that moment. Activities such as digesting the food you just ate, or healing the small cut on your leg won’t matter if something more serious happens.

So our body prioritizes and goes into ‘fight or flight’ mode.

SYMPATHETIC Nervous System (’Fight or Flight’) activated:

• Suppressed Immune System,
• Suppressed Digestive Function,
• Suppressed Reproductive System,
• Decreased Higher Mind problem solving
• Increased reliance on pre-programmed reactions such as: fear, anger, and anxiety
• Increased Stress, and Decreased deep sleep

PARASYMPATHETIC Nervous System Response (homeostasis):

• Increased Immune Functioning
• Increased Digestive Functioning
• Increased Reproductive Functioning
• Less Stress and More Repair and Rejuvenation
• Increased Higher Mind Problem Solving Intelligence
• Feeling Happy and Calm

The sympathetic nervous system response is  a tremendously helpful function when the perceived threat is accurate and real. However, what if the danger is only imagined? And, what if our thoughts and feelings perpetuate an ongoing sympathetic response?

Constant stress is the number one cause of all illness.

Hypnosis and the extraordinary state of relaxation that accompanies it, don’t heal the body, they allow the body and the nervous system to rest (parasympathetic state) and do it’s natural perfect healing work to restore well-being.

This is one way that Hypnosis can be helpful in accelerating healing restoring well-being.

TWO: Using Hypnotherapy an individual can quickly, easily and profoundly release and clear held negativity in the form of emotions and thoughts. Sometimes an event happens in our lives and we don’t cope with it very well. Each time this happens corresponding emotions and thoughts are either triggered or created depending on our perception of the event.

If negative emotions and thoughts are triggered or created and they are not released over time, they become held somewhere in the mind and in the body, and this is not conducive to health. As mentioned previously emotions like: fear, anger, and anxiety put the body in a state of  ‘fight or flight’ which is our body’s optimal state for healing.

Hypnotherapy sessions are a direct, efficient (one to three sessions), and easy tool for releasing held emotions from the body and reversing and replacing any negative thinking. Again, this type of clearing work clears the way for the mind and body to do their perfect natural healing work  and restore well-being.

THREE: Hypnosis by its very nature connects us to our subconscious and superconscious levels of awareness. Our imagination exists within these levels of awareness.

Hypnosis makes it easy to access our imagination and direct it in positive ways to assist in Accelerated Healing and Pain Control. (Where the mind goes the body tends to follow. Thought precedes form. What is held in the mind tends to be realized. Imagination is more powerful than willpower. Just as the most powerful forces in nature are invisible – heat, air, gravity – so the most powerful forces of man are invisible forces, thoughts. And just as the invisible components of air support life, so do your thoughts affect life. Therefore by directing our thoughts in Hypnosis and by communicating directly with the vast resources of our subconscious and superconscious levels of awareness and by using our imagination, feelings, and interacting with the inner creative healing intelligence that resides within each one of us, accelerated healing and pain control are easily and safely achievable.

Note: It is standard practice that clients with, known, medical conditions will be required to provide, written, approval from their medical practitioner(s) prior to any work in Hypnosis.
