Everyone curious about hypnosis asks the questions “why and how does it work?” Research of the brain in clinical studies at universities and medical institutions is answering those questions from a whole new perspective. Brain imaging has made it possible for researchers to study how we process, store and use the billions of bits of information that enter the mind every minute as well as the information stored along our own personal history. The current interest in the science of the mind/body/spirit connection has been monumental in the increased utilization of previously overlooked modalities. Those of us who practice and know the effectiveness of hypnosis are excited at this shift in awareness regarding behavior modification and whole life health through the wide range of holistic approaches.
The brain is highly organized. Information enters the brain and is stored in an areas with “like” information. As similar information continues to enter the brain, neuro networks grow and a stronger and stronger belief is established. The brain sends these messages to the body on peptides. Receptor sites on the cells pick up the information. Beliefs and behavior follow. Habits are formed and reinforced.
As a child, your program was designed by others. Hypnosis gives YOU the opportunity to go into a highly suggestible state of mind, and write your own desired beliefs. A new blueprint is created that reflects your current needs. Through repetition, and the proper dialog technique, old patterns will cease to run and the new, evolved beliefs take over. It is how your own personal belief system was created from the time you were born. Now you take charge with all your life lessons and wisdom guiding you. New networks can be created at any age. Your brain programming is changeable throughout your entire life. You can start with your first session and see immediate results. You’ve been doing it forever already!
