Yoga and Meditation

Changing your life in days is a pretty big claim that some self-help gurus write books about. Now, I’m of the mind not to convince you about hypnotism because you are fully capable of making your own mind up. A person could, however, receive most needed benefits from hypnotism, either self administered or clinically. You might be entertaining the idea that delving into the subconscious could be your ticket to getting better results from your life. You could be rewarded from hypnosis because there is no reason not to. It is really up to you.

Let’s play for a minute. Close your eyes and picture a nice firm lemon. Put it on the cutting board. Now slice it into wedges. Wow, there’s lemon juice all over the place. There’s the thing, take one wedge and bite into it. Hold it there. Can you taste the lemon? What has happened? You are drooling and your tongue is tingling. Your mind cannot distinguish between the pictures in your head and the actual sensations that your body experience.

Let’s start with the basic effects of hypnosis. Hypnotism is a different state of consciousness. Most times the hypnotized have a feeling of peaceful relaxation and increased suggestibility. This suggestibility provides entertainment for the people who want to see stage hypnotists such as Paul McKenna, Justin James and Michael Bane. These entertainers turn average citizens into dancing buffoons, the classic chicken and the newly popular strippers.

Clinical hypnosis tends to get more things done. Many people are familiar with hypnosis being used to help people stop smoking for good. Other people use hypnosis for weight loss. Less known uses for hypnosis is for light anesthesia for surgery and also as pain reduction techniques. It is truly where the brain is taking care of the body.

To explain the mechanics of hypnosis, it is where the conscience is disassociated from the rest of the brain. Psychologists and psychiatrists refer this to the state of being separated. It is a perceived detachment of the mind from the emotional self. The world appears dreamlike to the hypnotized and, at times, they have a hard time recalling the events that occurred during the disassociation.

Disassociation, where the memory gets split off rom the other parts of the brain, is also involved in cases of amnesia, and in severe cases, multiple personalities. However, under the control of the hypnotist, dissociation is very mild and temporary.

Hypnotic induction temporarily separates the brains executive command center (frontal lobes) from other parts of the brain such as the emotional-control (limbic system) and sensory perception (parietal lobes). With the relaxing of the hypnotized brain, it allows the hypnotist to present commands more directly without the patient criticizing or examining the commands for reasonability and practicality. With patients censoring, judging and criticizing offline, suggestions are adopted “behind the scenes”.
