Exploration into hypnosis and healing

It's impossible to talk about hypnosis without mentioning Isa Gucciardi.
She combined hypnosis, psychology, shamanism, buddhism and energy medicine to create powerful healing technique for mind and body. Read about Isa Gucciardi.
Why I'm talking about her is the simple fact that everything she talks about rings a bell in me.
I think that hypnosis is one of the tools which could be used to help ourselves. The question is where hypnosis helps and what are the limits of this technique.
It should not be considered a cure for everything. But on the other hand it may help sometimes when traditional medicine got nothing else to try.
Hypnosis may be able to move our energy into the positive direction thus enabling our body to heal itself. This process is certainly not instant magic healing and sometimes needs a lot of work and will to create results.

Why hypnosis may work?
Well, we create ourselves everyday, our thinking, our behaviour. If we imagine our thoughts are creating force for our mind then if we could take control of them we could control our life in a much bigger percentage then before. Moderate positive thinking may help our creativity and eficiency. Higher levels of relaxation and concentration achieved may help us to find solutions easier. Advanced techniques may influence positive changes to occur faster, producing more fulfiling and satisfied lives. Hypnosis used in conjunction with energy healing whether to release blockages or to heal and restore balance is in my opinion really valuable tool and I see no better. This tool may give some insights into the purpose where everything else failed but I think that this is practically achievable only through the guidance of some good hypnotherapist. And even then it is not a cure for all diseases.

Hypnosis sometimes may be used to recall images from our past lives. Sometimes our present troubles cannot be resolved without calling long gone memories and traumas.
They are recorded in our energy pattern. This serves as a record although it's much more than that. All of it brings "Tree of life" into the light?
This site takes some thoughts and ideas from various religions, traditions and other sources.
Dreams, for example, may be valuable source leading to transformation of someone's life.
It's a matter of what you believe and what you don't believe, just a personal opinion.
It may be just one possibility but it also could be real. It doesn't change much even if that's how it is, we're still the same.  

Reincarnation and hypnosis

Well it may aswell be dismissed that reincarnation happens at all but why not suppose it may be the case. Then, situations and circumstances we're in may be caused partly by our past lives actions.
It may get a bit complicated if analysed further but let's start from a presumption that reincarnation happens. What then? Our health issues and behaviour patterns may come from our past lives. If someone wish to accept the possibility of reincarnation then some more info may come into the game.
Let's say that our behaviour is sort of predetermined. We can react this and that way but not far away from the program. For the program to be changed we need to act consistently different and with good will.
For the smoking habbit to be changed, we need to have wish to breathe clear air with our lungs free from the cigarrete smoke. That's an example. This program as I see it is printed in our energy body and that's where change happens.
Now, various situations in this or past lives hits our energy body also. This "hit" or shock or even positive experience is saved in our energy body which stores them all, all events. They, in turn, change our behavioural patterns. We're like clay or some self-learning entity.
Change in energy body can also be made "easily" without huge, instant energy spending, but then it needs time and is not always sure to work.
Intensive, energetic experiences are faster, stronger changes in our energy field, whether for good or bad. Experiences with less energy in them but with more repetitions become the same thing at the end.
Reincarnation in this manner, with hypnosis used to enlighten our past lives, may be the tool to change ourselves, change program we act upon.
Under the guidance of a good hypnotherapist it may be possible to make some changes other tools fail to achieve.
One place I found interesting is certainly
Tarot-etcetera - Reincarnation
Few really great stories of reincarnation there give some more light at the subject of reincarnation and subconsciousness. Emotional Release Therapy developed by Dr.Paul Mostman is another great way to heal yourself and release blockages.
The trick is to understand causes of a problem as is allways in life. Whether it is or is not a past life experience does not lessen the worth of the therapy if it came out to be successful.
Believing in reincarnation doesn't really change anything, life stays the same.
See Reincarnation FAQ which is great resource for anyone having questions and doubts about reincarnation / past life.
It is also an interesting fact that most religions do have some parts mentioning reincarnation and past lives, some are even based around it. Most people in general have other, really more important interests, like how to survive and what to eat today and tommorow or how to live through another busy day at work, and reincarnation is not always at the top of the priorities list. Also, most discoveries brought positive changes, not negative anyway but most of us humans don't like or are affraid of changes.

As all the text at hypnosisworld.blogspot.com this is just my personal opinion and thoughts and is not supposed to be substitute for qualified medical help.

Relaxation and hypnosis

Relaxation is needed, well most of the time, to achieve hypnotic trance.
Mastering relaxation and finding out the best techniqe to achieve deep relaxation is basis for successful selfhypnosis and hypnosis.
While searching through the articles available ont the web, it is mostly theoretical sort of material available, not many examples of people using hypnosis to cure themselves or to change some patterns of behaviour like negative habits and similar.
Relaxation is especially needed when learning selfhypnosis without help from a certified hypnotherapist.
Not to forgot breathing techniques,
suggestions, whether autosuggestions or prerecorded which may help in achieving state of hypnosis. Breathing techniques are probably "closest" to successful relaxation but this may be widened broadly. It is logical to say that all parts of successful hypnotrance must be connected but deep or controlled breathing is somehow needed to accomplish relaxation.
Video/visual aids like swirls may also help.
Brainvawe generators may help also. Astral projection is also some sort of trance or at least altered state of mind, just like hypnosis.
Imagery is an important part in creating ourselves. It is sort of hypnosis and it does the same but through longer time frame. The point is that we use it daily and it doesn't matter if we're aware of it or not. Hypnotic trance comes out to be accelerated self-formation or transformation through the release of energy blockages or traumas?
This is achieved through increased suggestibility caused by the hypnotic trance state.
Daily pratice is another important part.
There's an excellent article at hyptalk covering basic functioning of hypnosis and ourselves in general. Also explained briefly are symptoms and signs which indicate hypnotic state.

Selfhypnosis

Selfhypnosis may be a great way to change yourself through releasing various energetic blockages, fears traumas and any other inhibitions which may have been created and developed through the lifetime. It is definitely a harder way, but sometimes there is no qualified professional to teach and guide us through the various stages of learning hypnosis technique. i think that the highest value is in the aquired ability to change yourself although someone may be interested to learn how to hypnotise another person.
-- It is necessary to learn how to relax deeply. This is a must, at least at first, later you may be able to enter hypnotic trance at will.
-- You can also use hypnotic tapes, cds or brainwave generators to aid you get there or suggestions which is basically very similar in purpose to prerecorded messages.
-- Hypnotic swirls are also great aid in helping you achieve hypnotic trance state.
-- Repetition is another connecting key which must not be forgotten. Play with it and wish for it to happen. Work without tension and expectations about hypnosis, do not be anxious whether it will happen or not, enjoy the process itself and also accept that the trance state will never happen..

Hypnosis spiral

Well, there's few very good hypnosis spirals to be found on the net.
What can you do with them?
Some people use it to go into deeper hypnotic state.
First they relax say for about 15 minutes then stare at it for about 10 or so.
It is not a magic tool or anything instant but through time and practice it may
help someone achieve trance-like hypnotic state.

Few questions we may need to ask ourselves. It's there because of negative effects
hypnotic spirals and hypnosis may have on some people.

When trance state (hypnosis) is finally achieved can you retain
full control over your actions, thoughts and yourself. Can you always snap out of it?
It is just my opinon that you do retain control and that this is somewhat similar to
a deep sleep although it's different in some ways with some parts of the mind still awaken.

Can hypnosis, or trance state, when achieved and finished with yourself fully awaken, have any negative
consequences later if something is not done right?
It certainly can, just as positive changes can be made so do negative.
I think any eventual damage or eventual positive changes can be created in one session only if
deep trance is achieved, but that's my opinion. Also, it's not allways instantly clear how deep we are.


There is a word of caution, just like say, some video games it may produce some eventual negative
side effects on some people. If you'd like to use it, use at your own risk.


There are few hypnospirals at hypnosisaudio.
121hypnosis has hypnospiral at their site
if you'd like to see it. Since hypnospiral is somewhat associated with selfhypnosis there is a great article about it too.
Stuartashing.com has two excellent hypnospiral exe/zip files.

Hypnosis

Well a word or two about hypnosis..
It's not magic I'm thinkin but more like medical hypnosis and alike. This is an area which may give great results for treating some health conditions. You all remember seeing stage hypnotists and all they can do to people.
Hypnosis I'm talking about is not of that kind but you may say it has some elements. Of course it is possible but that's not what the real power of hypnosis is. If we use it to treat behaviour disorders we will soon find out that this tool is something irreplaceable in medical treatment. Few treatments of hypnosis can replace several dozens of treatments with conventional therapy.
The main point here, with hypnosis is to change yourself, whether to quit smoking, relieve some pain, or to stop some irrational fears. If you believe in reincarnation, hypnosis may be the way to explore your past lives.
One of the prerequisites for successful hypnosis is relaxation which is already beneficial by itself.
Considering how stressful life can be, any time we can use to relax is spent wisely even if only 10 or 20 minutes.
If we use hypnosis or self hypnosis we can reach very relaxed states in which it may be possible, through autosuggestions, to make some positive changes in our mind and body.
