Is Hypnosis a Mainstream Concept?

Is Hypnosis a Mainstream Concept?

If you are considering hypnosis but worry that it may be taking

you on the long slow road to hippy skirts and backpacking

through India in search of your Guru, you can relax.

Many high-performance athletes and sports people use self

hypnosis to break through fears, keep themselves focused and

improve their performance. It has been found to help those

athletes who have been injured to heal faster and stronger using

self-hypnosis techniques.

Many of these athletes use mantras or short simple phrases

coming to of their hypnosis sessions to push them through their

pain barriers or keep them focused when all they really want to

do is stop and rest.

Business owners and entrepreneurs use hypnosis to stay focused

in work and as a start off point to increase creativity and

brainstorming. With many of us allowing our fears to curtail the

“what could be” in our lives, finding a way to break through

that, replacing those fears with positive statements instead can

help greatly in business.

Addictive behavior can also be helped with self-hypnosis

techniques. Smokers, dieters, and those wanting to reduce time with anything disrupting everyday life and success can find

these tools can reprogram their patterns. If you have a major

addiction, however, it is a good idea to seek medical help, using

the hypnosis as only part of the whole method.

Chronic illness can also be helped with hypnosis. TO give an

the idea of the power of thought, a study of patients with Cystic

Fibrosis, a genetic condition that is incurable, found that

hypnotherapy was able to improve their health, helping them to

breathe easier (this condition fills the lungs with liquid), reducing anxiety and improves the ability to clear the lungs

without needing to cough chronically.

Cancer patients have long used self-hypnosis as part of their

battle against their illness. Being able to visualize their body

healing itself and being victorious not only have been shown to

be effective in helping the healing process but has reduced the

anxiety attached to the illness considerably. The hypnosis helps

people with chronic illness take charge of their body- when

often the illness and the related treatments can make you feel as

though you have to let go of your own decision making and no

longer have any control over it. That alone makes it a worthwhile

tool.

Mental health struggles with things such as panic attacks,

depression and self-harm can also be helped with hypnotherapy.

Again, if you are very depressed or struggling with self-harm in

such a way that you are endangering your life or the people

around you, it is important to use hypnosis in conjunction with

professional advice and treatment. However, learning to use them

simple but effective breathing and mantra repetition techniques

can help you pre-empt episodes before you lose control, or help you reconfigure your thought patterns so any negative behavior

is reduced.

Many doctors, health professionals, trainers, and advisors

recommend hypnosis as an excellent tool. Using it in your own

life is an excellent way to achieve your own personal goals.

With so many people before you have found it an excellent tool

to solve their own issues, you can be assured you are using

something that really does work and is considered useful.
