Clinical Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a very powerful tool for communicating directly with the subconscious mind –  the conceptual hard-drive for a person’s behaviors, beliefs, and long term memory (i.e. experiences, feelings and emotions).  Conscious learning happens when you repeat or practice something a few times, and it will gradually sink into your subconscious mind for long term storage.

A positive outlook and joyous attitude supports a happy life. However, complications may arise when you have learned something that is completely wrong - something negative and not beneficial.   For example, a very critical parent may inadvertently convince their five year old daughter that she is not good enough in math – and she never will be.   Or, a night-time near miss with a transport truck while driving over a bridge may link the feeling of fear with height – a fear of heights.  These learnings need to be unlearned - and be de-hypnotized.

During a hypnosis session, the client is gently guided into a comfortable relaxed semi-awake state.  As this occurs his/her predominant brainwaves would slow down from its normal awake 13 – 40 Hz beta range, down to the 9 – 12 Hz alpha or even the 5 – 8 Hz theta range.  It is here that a hypnotist does his magic.  A simple instruction or suggestion to the subconscious may be enough to fix a simple behavior problem, but a few sessions would be needed for fully address more complicated issues.

Eastern medicine is based on the concept that a healthy person has chi energy that flows continuously and easily flow throughout the body.   However, dis-ease occurs when and where the energy does not flow with ease (stagnant or stuck energy) – chronic excess energy is associated with inflammation and pain, deficient energy is associated with degenerative conditions.   Various techniques like Reiki or EHF can be used to redirect or re-balance the energy flow; however, true healing requires deep analysis to discover its original cause –  maybe an inappropriate belief or emotion.  This is where hypnosis shines: it is one of the most efficient and effective technique to search thru the client’s subconscious for answers. Once the story behind the stuck energy is told, and the client takes appropriate actions, step back - miracles happen.
