Hypnosis is no more exotic or mysterious than dentistry. The only difference is we see a dentist on a regular basis throughout our entire life, but are much less likely to experience professional hypnosis, or hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a natural state that everyone experiences on a daily basis. At a minimum, you are in hypnosis twice a day. You pass through a hypnotic state as you asleep, and as you wake up. You may also experience hypnosis "zoning" in front of the TV, or you may experience "highway hypnosis," when you reach your destination but don't remember the details of the drive.
Sure, stage hypnosis is funny and the comedic hypnotists work hard to keep hypnosis mysterious--it's part of the show. But if this is the only exposure you've had to hypnotism, you've only scratched the surface. Hypnotism has many more practical uses that can benefit your everyday life.
Here are five common, everyday issues that hypnosis can help you with.
1. Insomnia. Hypnosis is incredibly effective for relieving insomnia. Most patients get relief within one session. Even people who have suffered from insomnia for years have experienced immediate relief. Hypnosis can be used to stop the symptom of insomnia and can be used as an ongoing therapy to prevent the return of insomnia. You can learn to use self hypnosis to get to or return to sleep in seconds.
2. Eliminate Anxiety. Anxieties begin when our subconscious mind associates a situation (a place, a happening, a person) with a bad experience. My Mom once got suddenly ill from the flu while in an elevator (completely circumstantial) and developed an anxiety about getting ill in public places and a phobia about closed spaces. If you see yourself in this type of situation, as so many do, hypnosis can help your subconscious mind break that association and release the anxiety.
3. End an Unwanted Habit. Want to quit smoking, biting your nails, or some other habit that you just can't seem to quit through "willpower" alone? The subconscious mind is 88% of our brain's power, so trying to quit with willpower alone means the odds are stacked against you, 12% against 88%. Your subconscious will not release the habit without intervention, and that is what hypnosis is, intervention for your subconscious mind. Convince your subconscious that you are a non-smoker, non-nail-biter, etc., and watch yourself change.
4. Develop the Confidence to Stand Up and Speak. Public speaking is the number one fear in America! As Jerry Seinfeld joked, people would rather die than speak in public. This fear is very common and can be relieved in hypnosis. Along with work in hypnosis to show your mind that speaking in public is a rewarding and comfortable experience, and NLP techniques to reframe the experience, you can become very comfortable with speaking at that next meeting!
5. Get Relief from Chronic Pain. Pain relief, an anesthetic effect, is a natural property of hypnosis. Before the discovery of ether, hypnosis was commonly used to anesthetize patients for surgery. Even today, hypnosis is being used for dental patients and for medical patients who cannot tolerate chemical anesthesia, and these patients tend to recover more quickly as well. What does this mean in your day to day life? Chronic aches and pains that are not responding to traditional medical approaches can be relieved by using the anesthetic properties of hypnosis. Once a qualified hypnotherapist teaches you how to use hypnosis this way, you can provide pain relief for yourself at any time, anywhere, in any circumstance. There are many more applications for hypnosis that can benefit you in your everyday life. Many have used hypnosis successfully for weight loss, to improve their memory, to find lost objects, and much, much more. How could hypnosis benefit your life
