Hypnosis is an effective tool for pain relief. The reason is simple. It changes your awareness and teaches you how to overcome the pain by increasing the level of comfort you feel. Understand, a hypnosis session is not a substitute for medical intervention. Pain is a resource of the body that should be listened to, as it can alert us to medical needs that require attention. But for those already under the care of a physician or those enduring chronic pain, learning the skills of hypnosis is an excellent way to see pain from a new perspective. By using hypnosis,…

Is hypnotherapy for stress relief effective? Stress can be defined as a state we experience when there is a mismatch between perceived demands and our perceived ability to cope. Stress can also be defined as an adaptive response by a body to change in the environment. Stress response evolved to enable humans to deal with life-threatening dangers or stressors such as being confronted with a wild animal or perhaps a hostile human. Situations like this required action – the activation of stress response to wither stay and fight or to run away. Today we hopefully won’t have to face the…

Your mind and how the learning process works. It’s just like learning to ride a bike. There are 4 steps to how your mind processes and learns anything new. Step 1: Unconscious Ignorance – Remember back when learning to ride a bike. This first step means you don’t know how to ride a bike. And, you aren’t even aware of anything cycling related. Step 2: Conscious Ignorance – In this step, you don’t know how to cycle, but you are aware of cycling and know that you don’t know how to ride a bike. Step 3: Conscious Knowledge – Here…

Richard Bandler, co-creator of NLP, once said, “It’s never too late to have a happy childhood.” At the time he said this back in the 1970s it was quite controversial and caused an uproar. But now that we have learned more about the brain and how it works, this statement can be better understood. You can’t change the past (unless you have a time machine you’re not telling anyone about). It happened. It is a fact. And, now, it is forever in our memory. The thing is, our memories aren’t factual and they aren’t fixed. Have you ever noticed talking…

You may be thinking, “Hypnosis sounds wonderful, but can I be hypnotized? I don’t think I can be. I’m pretty stubborn, I don’t have a good attention span and I hate thought or the feeling of losing control.” You may be surprised to learn that you have experience hypnosis and going into trance on a daily basis. Yes, you see hypnosis is a natural state of mind and trance is something we all enter into and come out of several times a day. Think about this: Have you ever found yourself completely immersed in an activity to the exclusion of…

What does it feel like to go into a hypnotic trance? What does hypnosis feel like? These are common questions I get from folks often. Another question I get from those that use my MP3 Deep-Relaxation audio is, “I catch my mind wandering while listening, is that okay? Is that supposed to happen, or am I doing something wrong? Does concentrating really hard on just following everything said in hypnosis increase its effects?” I help them set aside their fears and concerns by assuring them that ‘zoning out’ is okay and purely natural when going in to trance because your…

What is hypnosis? Surrounded by stigma, mystery, and mythology, hypnosis carries a lot of misunderstandings about what it really is. It’s hard to get even the experts, at times, agree on what it is. Some people see it as a relaxed awareness. It can be, doesn’t have to be. If you look at the rallies of Hitler in WWII, you will see anything but a relaxed awareness. Those people were worked into a wild frenzy through hypnotic techniques. Some see hypnosis as some kind of mind control thing, where the subject is trying to resist and the hypnotist breaks down…

Think about your brain as if it were a crowded social gathering like a popular restaurant, bar, or nightclub. Imagine every person in that gathering represents a thought, belief, or experience in your mind. Now, they all seem to be getting along well with each other for the most part. Just like at any popular hotspot there is a line of people waiting to get in. These are also representative of thoughts, beliefs, and experiences. And, like any popular place, there is a guard or bouncer. This is known as the Critical Faculty that you have in your brain. What…
