Figuring out what Hypnosis is?
Metaphysical & Spiritual
There is yet another side to hypnosis, the metaphysical. This point of view is fascinating to many people because it involves very deep questions we have about ourselves. Have I lived before? Where do we come from, where are we going? Philosophically and mystically oriented individuals wonder if the mind can remember incarnations and spiritual memories. This particular line of thought is based on the premise that our inner mind remembers every moment and every event beyond our current incarnation. Other metaphysical thought ponders if the "Subconscious" mind is just a label for the conduit of the collective consciousness of the universe. Others speculate whether going into the state of hypnosis enables our consciousness to tap into psychic powers. You may have heard the term "Regression" but most people are unaware of the term "Progression" as it relates to hypnosis. Where regression is going back in time and remembering long lost events, progression is moving into the future and seeing what lies ahead. We c an wonder if this explains how the great psychics like the Nostradamuses or Edgar Cases of the world accurately predicted the future or whether gifted children labeled as "Prodigies" have retained the information and skills from a past life. Speculations such as these are abundant and add to the mystery, acceptance, and lack of acceptance of hypnosis and of those who practice hypnosis in a clinical way. You can see why some people may balk at the idea of seeking a Hypnotherapist.
From what I've witnessed, with the use of hypnosis we can discover who we really are. We can become in tune with the forces that are around us which most of the time we are unaware of or ignore. Religion and faith are both good and necessary in my opinion, a lot of our knowledge in this area being based on ancient texts and stories. If one gets a feeling or intuition while reading these religious writings the validity for that individual is solidified even more strongly. However, some people require proof about the spiritual world. Can we gain insight into the universe and ourselves by using other methods? With the use of hypnosis, can learning more about ourselves through an "Inner Journey" shed new light on who we are, where we're going, and who we've been in the past?
Therapy
Now, let's talk about the therapy point of view, the clinical side of hypnosis. The clinical side of hypnosis deals with the manipulation of a natural state of mind. The point is to enhance that state of mind and to eliminate negative behaviors, feelings, perceptions, emotions, and greatly help or cure physical problems. This point of view maintains that everything is a perception and that any negative perception will greatly affect one's emotional and physical health. Also unresolved emotion that builds in the subconscious mind can trigger many problems, but how does hypnosis really help in this regard?
Does negative unresolved emotion directly contributes to vast amounts of illnesses? Is this a lasting cure or only temporary? Through the use of hypnosis is it possible to correct these problems? How can hypnosis do any of this?
So you see that simple word hypnosis conjures up all kinds of different thoughts and ideas doesn't it? As a hypnotist, I want to state that you have stumbled upon something that is better than finding a buried treasure chest. You hold in your hands a discovery of monumental proportions! Who are we? Where do we come from? These are very real and very old questions pondered throughout the ages. Can we heal ourselves? Do I have to continue to live with so many emotional and physical problems?
These are very interesting questions to be sure and ones that you may be able to answer after reading the words in this text. If you only knew what I know, if you could see what I have witnessed, and by reading this book you will! Let's now explore this fascinating subject - "Hypnosis."
