 By the way, I was not paid anything by the hypnosis Network to write this review, nor do I earn anything from the sales of their products. I cover this company (and its products) for one reason only: Because I believe it to be of great value to you, the reader. hypnosis is a powerful tool for self transformation, and when I see a company that gets it right, I feel obliged to spread the word. |

| Hypnosis is not about losing control or failing to "wake up." hypnosis is not sleep. It is a long-established, well-respected form of therapy. Self-hypnosis uses many of the same techniques. THE PUZZLE OF PAIN
Pain is a survival mechanism. It warns us that something is wrong. Self-hypnosis teaches the central nervous system to be less sensitive to pain signals. It prevents pain messages from flowing to the brain, changes the way the brain interprets them and switches on the part that restores relaxation. Your conscious mind tells your unconscious mind to lower the volume. |

| The main drawback to audio hypnosis is that the audio program cannot respond to you. It can't observe your physiology like an in-person hypnotist would do, nor can it alter the program according to what the hypnotist sees working (or not working) with you at that particular moment. The advantage, though, is that audio hypnosis programs are remarkably inexpensive compared to a live hypnotist, and you can listen to them as many times as you want without paying an additional fee. |
| Do audio hypnosis programs really work?
The short answer is yes, they do. They can help reshape beliefs so that your behavior shifts seem automatic and natural. With issues like weight loss, for example, this can lead to an accelerating cycle of success, where the first five pounds of weight loss encourage you to listen to the program even more, which further supports your beliefs and behaviors that lead to even more weight loss.

 Hypnosis: hypnosis, when performed by a trained practitioner, may be successful in helping with this condition. hypnosis trains the child to wake up and go to the bathroom when his or her bladder feels full. hypnosis is less expensive, less time-consuming, and less dangerous than most approaches; it has virtually no side effects. Recent medical studies show that hypnotherapy can work quickly to bring improvement, sometimes within four to six sessions. |

Experiment to see what works best for you
You may find you like some programs more than others, by the way. A lot of this depends on your personal preference for voices and styles. I found I didn't like the voice on one particular program, but that was probably because it reminded me of a nasty librarian I had the misfortune of meeting in grade school. (I have a strange talent for remembering and identifying unique qualities of the human voice. |
| I've listened to many programs over the years and have been less than impressed with quite a few. Some hypnosis programs on the market have poor audio quality that's so distracting, you can't focus on what's being said. Others rush the induction, leaving you still buzzing from the day's thoughts while trying to absorb the suggestions. And the worst programs don't even understand the importance of phrasing suggestions in a positive context, so you'll end up with harmful suggestions like, "You will no longer feel terrible about yourself. |

| Television advertising that attempts to associate a brand-name drug with positive images and emotions is a powerful form of hypnosis. And it works, because it gets people to go to their doctor and ask for the drug by name.
Our parents hypnotized us with all sorts of messages (whether they realize it or not) when we were children. As children, we didn't have the mental filters we carry as adults, and a lot of what we heard from parents, siblings or authority figures went straight in and became accepted as "fact" by our naive brains. |

 During hypnosis, breathing and pulse rate slow down and blood pressure may drop.
No one can be forced into hypnosis. You must be a willing participant in the process. Good rapport between therapist and client is important.
Hypnosis has been used successfully to control back pain, joint pain, burn pain, and the pain of migraines and other headaches. This technique can be a valuable self-help tool, as you can learn to hypnotize yourself whenever you need it. |

 Smoking, drug and alcohol addiction and eating disorders can be controlled with hypnosis.
The highest level of co-operation and trust must exist between the patient and the hypnotherapist. At the outset, therapists discuss the patient's problems, what they want to achieve, dispel any perceived concerns, and explain just what will happen during a session. Following 6-8 weekly sessions—or after an illness has been brought under control—most therapists teach their patients self-hypnosis. |
| With self-hypnosis asthmatics can implant their own suggestions for breathing control to help their condition, and use the powers of hypnosis when they most need them: at the time an attack is imminent.
Meditation
Meditation allows the conscious mind to experience increasingly subtle states of thought until the source of the thought, the unlimited store of energy and creative intelligence, is reached. The mind settles effortlessly, thought dissolves altogether and a delicate state of silence is experienced. |

 Mason tried to treat a fifteen-year-old boy's warts using hypnosis. Mason and other doctors had successfully used hypnosis to get rid of warts, but this was an especially tough case. The boy's leathery skin looked more like an elephant's hide than a human's, except for his chest, which had normal skin.
Mason's first hypnosis session focused on one arm. When the boy was in a hypnotic trance, Mason told him that the skin on that arm would heal and turn into healthy, pink skin. When the boy came back a week later, Mason was gratified to see that the arm looked healthy. |

| Biofeedback involves the machine-based detection of tension responses, and can help a person learn to sense the physical signs of stress and modify them. hypnosis uses verbal suggestions to relax the mind and body. A newer technique, known as Heart Math, uses heartbeat responses to emotions as a guide to reduce stress. Psychological counseling and behavior modification also have a role in the treatment of chronic stress. |

 This would allow you to describe your experiences aloud while under hypnosis and reflect on the contents of the tape later. Speaking aloud during this process will actually serve to deepen the experience for you.
Now play the download. In it, I will take you through five steps. The first step is an induction, with which you are now quite familiar.
The second step is called a bridge. It involves a series of suggestions and imagery designed to move your attention away from where you are right now and into a different time and place (a bridge across time or space). |

| Andrew knows he must take time to warm up slowly and has learned to relax by using 'self hypnosis' (see Chapter 13). He starts his sporting activities slowly.
Andrew concentrates on the breathing techniques and you can actually hear the puhhh, puhhh, puhhh when he is breathing out. He has learned to ignore comments from his friends such as 'What's this puhh, puhh, puhh business?' He now realises that being free from asthma is more important to him than the joking of his friends. Andrew now enjoys every minute of his happy, healthy, sports-filled life. |
| This is not to say healers dismiss the faith factor or the psychological aspect of their healing that may be working through hypnosis or autosuggestion.
A healer concentrates his or her attention on the affected area, either while touching it with their fingers or palms of their hands, or with their hands on the patient's head. The patient often feels sensations being transmitted from the hands as healing energies enter their aura.
Auras—luminous areas of light with misty outlines—are believed to surround people, animals, plants and sometimes even inanimate objects. |
| Primarily, hypnosis is an altered, trance-like state of mind or consciousness. Although the popular perception of someone under a hypnotic trance is like a sleepwalker, they are more often wide awake.
Hypnotherapy is used to bring about physical and mental changes to heal physical illness, reduce pain, induce relaxation or to recall past events. People in an hypnotic state remain in control and are able to exercise their own free will. They cannot be compelled to do anything contrary to their moral beliefs. |
| However, while under hypnosis people think, act, behave and respond much more positively to suggestions, and suggestions can be left in their minds to influence future behaviour.
Most people can be hypnotised within 4-5 minutes, provided they are co-operative and relaxed. In the early stages the therapist talks quietly to the patient, repeating suggestions that they are tired, or has the subject look at an object such as a spinning wheel. Eye muscles become tired, the eyelids become heavy and close involuntarily and the subject enters a light trance. |

 Techniques such as deep-breathing exercises, biofeedback, transcendental meditation, yoga, progressive muscle relaxation, and hypnosis have all been shown to reduce stress and lower blood pressure.377 The antihypertensive effect of these techniques is not dramatic. However, they constitute an important factor in a holistic program to lower blood pressure and treat and prevent heart disease. |

| When I brought Mark out of hypnosis, he touched his left cheek—and discovered he could feel the touch. He smiled broadly and the smile extended to both sides of his face. The left side of his face no longer sagged. In fact, his face had completely healed. He kept in touch with me for five years, letting me know that his face was still fine.
Remember, Mark was a born-again Christian. He didn't believe in the possibility of past lives. Was he really a German soldier in a previous life, or was he just experiencing an archetypal epic drama playing out in his subconscious mind? We cannot know. |
| A past life experience under hypnosis may indeed be a subconscious archetypal pattern expressing itself as an alternative life.
Let me share a true story that brings home just how powerful past life regression can be. Many years ago, a social worker named Mark came to see me. He was a born-again Christian diagnosed with Bell's palsy. Three years earlier, he'd been out on a lake in a boat. It got very cold, and as the winds whipped up, he became extremely chilled, particularly the left side of his face. While he was still out on the boat, he felt as though that part of his face was frozen. |
