Health
Your
health is in your hands, and although medical care is necessary,
there is a lot you can do to keep yourself healthy. The
mind is closely connected to the body.
Areas
of health where hypnosis makes a difference:
Cancer
treatment is often more tolerable when hypnosis
is used. Success with surgery, chemotherapy and radiation
often depends of your state of mind. The fear of needles
and pain can be eliminated. The mind controls the body,
therefore visualization of a cancer free body boosts the
immune system as well as improves your attitude. Hypnosis
can help you to sleep better which is important as the body
heals while sleeping.
Chronic
illness* (fatigue, fibromyalgia, Lupus etc.)
responds well to hypnotherapy because stress is often a
factor. Symptoms can be made more tolerable and often controlled.
Diet
(obesity*) changes respond well to hypnotic
suggestions. Life style changes are more readily accepted
by the mind.
Dental Care is difficult for most people and terrifying for others. Hypnosis can calm those fears and make a visit to the dentist more pleasant for everyone including children.
Energy
can be increased by reducing stress and making sleep more
beneficial.
Exercise motivation is important and through your mind with
positive suggestions all of the barriers to exercise can
vanish.
Immune
system boosting is possible with hypnosis.
The mind activates the natural systems of the body to function
in a more balanced way.
Pain
problems respond well to hypnosis. Pain is
an impulse or message to the brain and can be turned down
or off by the mind. We increase the pain threshold so what
you experience is more tolerable Often times pain can be
eliminated completely.*
Sleep
disorders include not being able to get to
sleep, waking up too many times during the night, and waking
up too early. Listening to a hypnosis tape/CD while going
to sleep effectively retrains the mind to sleep just like
you did as a baby or small child.
Smoking
is the number one killer cause of illness in America. It
is a subconscious habit, therefore it makes sense to go
to the subconscious mind to undo this habit. One session
usually does it!
Surgery
preparation and recovery studies
have been done all over the world. The results indicate
that hypnosis and other relaxation methods have a profound
affect on a persons quality of recovery. Often times you
can heal twice as fast as normal, minimize swelling and
post operative pain.

My husband and I want to thank you. This hernia surgery experience went so much smoother. It was like night and day. I know he was a little skeptical but was wanting me to try anything that would help me get through this. He was starting to be negative with his attitude and comments. I told him I wanted to be as calm and positive as I could. He agreed and tried to keep everything positive. I listened to the CD on the way to the hospital, during the surgery, and a few times after the surgery. I stayed in the hospital for one day (2 1/2 last time). I did not need morphine only pain pills. I was eating and was up walking to the bathroom a few hours after surgery. My husband was very happy that I was healing quickly. My neighbor noticed that I had color in my face when I returned home, one day after surgery. Two days after surgery when we removed the bandages, my husband noticed very little blood. I feel a little weak and I know I have some healing ahead of me but I am stronger than I thought I would be. I know I will be ready to return to work in 3 weeks. Thanks again for all your help and I will contact you again when I am healed and preparing to attempt pregnancy again. -- Melissa K.
