Online I saw this thing about disguised hypnosis and since I don’t want to buy the whole package I just want to know is the secret method legal and if it is what is it?

Try looking at http://hypnosisschool.org

While I was doing my homework on the computer this hypnosis add popped up about the most powerful method of hypnosis. It looked really cool but you had to buy it and I didn’t want to buy anything. So I was just wondering if anyone knew what it was.

The most powerful method would depend on the subject, it vary from individual to individual.

If does works is there any scientific benefits i can get out of Hypnosis? Where should i go to ask for a good hypnotist for any problems I might have in the future? And is There any classes in college i can do for Hypnosis?

There are records of ancient Egyptians and Sumerians using hypnosis. hypnotic practices are ancient. Hypnosis works and a good hypnotist teaches his patient to perform hypnosis on himself to prolong the effects. hypnosis is a procedure similar to meditation, but different in method and procedure. While meditation seeks to clear the mind, hypnosis believes in focusing the attention to focus the mind on a singularity of purpose and to change behavior by making actions subconscious, which is what happens when you learn a procedure very well.
There are websites that will give you procedures for hypnotizing yourself and there are books.
I have recommended using hypnosis for relaxation, overcoming anxiety, and learning new skills. There are seminars, but you can learn it from a practitioner.

Hypnosis and sleep are very much related to each other reports new research. Before the advent of “sleeping pills” and other medically proved sleeping aids, which used chemicals to subdue the mind into a restful sleep, hypnosis was very much in use as a sleep inducing treatment for many who suffered from perpetual sleeplessness or insomnia. Even complicated surgical operations were performed after hypnotizing the patient into a deep sleep when the benefits of chloroform were unknown to surgeons. So there is a long history of the relationship between hypnosis and sleep.

When you look at a person who has been hypnotized, you can easily see the ‘trance-like’ sign of hypnosis that comes before a person falls asleep. As a matter of fact, hypnosis and sleep happens with the hypnotist telling the subject in a calm monotonous yet firm voice to go to sleep, though people going to sleep with the help of self-hypnosis are not uncommon…..

Do you always remember every aspect of a familiar car journey? Think about it, you probably remember parts of it, but actually your conscious mind took care of the actual driving and your sub conscious mind wandered into a hypnotic state. Daydreaming is another example of this.

Self-hypnosis CDs often work wonders in inducing sleep in people who have trouble getting off to sleep. These people also report a deeper, undisturbed nights sleep, again proving the connection between hypnosis and sleep.

Hypnosis And Sleep - Get Relaxed

A state of total relaxation, especially of the conscious mind is the ideal state for sleep to take place. This is mirrored by the process of inducing sleep through hypnosis, hypnotists try to block the conscious mind of their subjects while training the sub-conscious mind to accept their commands like ‘raise your hand’; ’shut your eyes’, etc. a process in which the body is brought to a state of total relaxation and the mind becomes clear - which obviously is the ideal sleep pre-condition. Once the conscious mind is relaxed, sleep normally follows.

So, if you are having trouble sleeping consider the connection between hypnosis and sleep and see if it will work for you.

For many people hypnosis conjures up the image of a man of stage making someone do something completely foolish but weight loss through hypnosis seems even sillier.

But there is solid evidence that a person can achieve quick and lasting weight loss results by using hypnosis.

But firstly let’s look at what hypnosis is?

According to Contemporary Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing hypnosis or as it is more commonly known hypnotherapy is “the therapeutic use of suggestion when a person is in an altered state of consciousness in order to effect positive changes in that person’s behavior and so treat a range of health conditions”. It has not only been used to decrease the pain a person is feeling but also for weight control.

In a publication (Warren 2003) there was a statement that “Hypnosis is a way to access the untapped power of the mind and alter brain functions. In this state of intense relaxation and concentration the mind is able to focus on positive suggestions which can be carried out at a future time. These subliminal messages are surprisingly powerful.”

Then at the 54th Annual Conference in November 2003 of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, Dr David Spiegel (Stanford University researcher) said “that although we don’t fully understand how it works, there is significant evidence that hypnosis can be effective in helping people reach into their own unconscious resources to solve problems normally beyond their ability”.

This in fact shows that the scientific community believes that indeed it is possible for someone to achieve weight loss through hypnosis.

In the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1996 a report regarding meta-analysis (comparing multiple studies) showed that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% when people were being treated. But even more important this increased the effectiveness of post treatment by over 146%. So this has shown that hypnosis can work even better if used over longer periods of time.

Whilst in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1986 a study was carried out on 60 women and they were separated into hypnosis versus non-hypnosis groups. It was found that those women using hypnosis lost an average of 17lbs whilst those in the non-hypnosis group only lost an average 5lbs.

So as you can see weight loss through hypnosis is very effective and may be more people should look at trying it in the future.

As with any skill, the more you practice, the better you become. It’s the same with hypnosis. If done incorrectly, hypnosis will not work. You must become skilled in the art of hypnosis before you can hope to put anyone in a relaxed enough state to actually communicate with their subconscious. Aside from learning hypnosis techniques, you must practice hypnosis if you ever hope to become an expert in the art of hypnosis. The best hypnosis training is done on your friends and family. This way, you can practice what you’ve learned on people who will forgive you if you make a mistake and won’t be angry because they paid for a service that you couldn’t complete.

School, Books Or The Internet

Hypnosis training can either be done in a classroom setting, such as at a hypnosis school, or it can be done by reading books or even by getting instructions over the internet. Hypnosis training involves using a soothing voice, some objects to make the person relax more, and even music and lighting to enhance the relaxed, hypnotized state. Other than that, you need hypnosis training to know what to tell the person once they’re in the hypnotized state. This message to their subconscious can be instructions to help them lose weight, quit smoking, be more assertive or just to become a better person. Hypnotism doesn’t work for everyone but with enough hypnosis training, you can become an expert in the art of hypnosis so that you can hopefully help as many people as possible.

If you are going to conduct your hypnosis training with friends and family, make sure that you take extreme care. Hypnosis is not a toy, it’s not something you should take lightly. When people are in a hypnotized state, they are very vulnerable to the message conveyed by the hypnotist. It’s through hypnosis that people can be instructed to do certain things they normally wouldn’t do while awake. This leaves much room for abuse and unethical practices. Just make sure that you are responsible with your new power and that you follow you hypnosis training with the intent to do good, not bad.

Hypnosis training can be a fun, interesting journey into the human subconscious mind. There’s no limit to what you can do or find out once someone’s conscious mind is put to sleep. You can help people with all sorts of problems and that’s what makes hypnosis training so worthwhile.

Hypnosis Works for Weight Loss

By C. Devin Hastings

Novel and Effective Weight Reduction Technique Does Not Require Pills, Patches, Supplements or Surgery and Can Easily Prevent Holiday Weight Gain.

Holiday weight gain is a problem for millions of Americans. Researchers at the National Institute of Child Health and Human Development (NICHD) and the National Institute of Diabetes and Digestive and Kidney Diseases (NIDDK) found that a large percentage of Americans who gain weight during the winter holiday season do not lose the extra weight. In fact, the weight accumulates over the years.

NICHD Director Duane Alexander, M.D. who noticed this troublesome trend states:

“These findings suggest that developing ways to avoid holiday weight gain may be extremely important for preventing obesity and the diseases associated with it.”

Devin Hastings, a researcher and international speaker on diabetes and the mind states: “During the holiday season, many people with diabetes face very tough challenges. Harmful eating habits and weight gain are dangerous and difficult problems for them. Because of this, I looked for safe answers that could help my diabetic and overweight clients.”

Devin’s research “led me to surprising clinical weight loss findings that can help not only diabetics but anyone who struggles with weight loss.”

As a result of his research and client successes, Devin created a very informative website for those who are dealing with obesity and weight loss challenges. This website, www.Weight-Loss-Answers.com (or www.WLA4U.com) contains information that has helped many of his clients to lose weight successfully and permanently.

“Safe, sustainable weight loss is an inside job. Diet pills, weight loss programs or even weight loss surgery can not do what really needs to be done”, says Devin who, 9 years ago, lost over 40 pounds using the method studied and validated by Harold B. Crasilneck, Ph.D. and James A. Hall, M.D.

What safe weight loss method did doctors Crasilneck and Hall confirm as effective? They found that: “Hypnotherapy can often help in treating obesity, an observation that is one of the most clinically confirmed in all the literature on hypnosis.”(1)

This statement is made more credible because these doctors did two important things: First, they conducted their own studies and second they conducted a comprehensive meta-analysis of a large number of other reliable hypnosis weight loss studies.

Although this evidence is extremely compelling Devin cautions: “Hypnosis is not a magic wand. Although some of my clients have easily lost a lot of weight in a very short period of time, most of the incredible changes I have seen my clients make are accomplished over time and with commitment.”

Is there other believable evidence that hypnosis can help people with diabetes and weight loss problems? Yes. In the July 2001 issue of Scientific American it states:

“A 1996 National Institutes of Health technology assessment panel judged hypnosis to be an effective intervention for alleviating pain from cancer and other chronic conditions.

Voluminous clinical studies also indicate that hypnosis can reduce the acute pain experienced by patients undergoing burn-wound debridement, children enduring bone marrow aspirations and women in labor.

A meta-analysis published in a recent special issue of the International Journal of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, for example, found that hypnotic suggestions relieved the pain of 75 percent of 933 subjects participating in 27 different experiments. The pain-relieving effect of hypnosis is often substantial, and in a few cases the degree of relief matches or exceeds that provided by morphine.” (2)

If severe pain can be controlled by hypnosis then one can imagine weight loss cravings also being controlled by hypnosis.

Also, given the dubious safety and effectiveness of diet pills and the hazards of invasive and often ineffective surgery, one must wonder why, if hypnosis is so obviously effective for pain management, why isn’t it used before drastic and very expensive steps for weight loss are taken?

And, since hypnosis has been proven to have the ability to match or exceed the power of morphine then one must wonder how much better hypnosis is than diet pills and diet patches.

Who has used hypnosis to change their lives for the better? A number of people. Internet research has revealed the following well-known people have benefited from the use of hypnosis:

–Sondra Ray, author of The Only Diet There Is and several other best sellers.

–Tom Mankiewicz, the super talent who wrote “Superman the Movie”

–Beau Upchurch, a power-house pitcher for the Dodgers baseball team.

Devin Hastings also states: ” I can absolutely assure you of 2 things: (1) Someone will change their life for the better now because they have just discovered that intelligent and accomplished people have successfully used hypnosis. (2) It is far easier and cheaper to hypnotically prevent weight gain than it is to lose weight.”

Hypnosis has been proven to help anyone use the power of their mind in a positive, life changing manner. This fact is clinically confirmed and, interestingly some of society’s most successful have used hypnosis.

As a self-improvement method, hypnosis is worth serious investigation—especially during the holiday season which is a time of great stress, weight gain, short tempers and holiday blues.

You can really eliminate pain with hypnosis. The saying “no pain, no gain” is really not true. Do you remember all of the times pain has hindered you from taking part in activities that you enjoy? Partaking in sports and even sitting can be unbearable when you are in pain.

However, to say that “pain is all in your head” can really be true. If that is the case then the cure should be all in your head too! With help of self-hypnosis, pain can completely disappear. Despite what most people think, hypnosis is simply a mental state where messages can connect with the unconscious easier. The state of hypnosis is characterized by very deep relaxation. With regular practice of a hypnosis pain elimination regimen, you will feel more peaceful over all.

Pain signals that something in your body is amiss so pain is technically a good thing. Make sure a doctor check you out to ensure that the pain is not indicating a harmful condition. Then it’s time to manage and even eliminate the pain.

There is really no danger in a self-hypnosis pain relief program. It is not true that you can “get stuck” in a hypnotic state. The worst that might happen when you use hypnosis for upper pain reduction is that you could fall into a natural state of sleep for half an hour. Compare to all of the nights that discomfort has prevented you from sleep!

One can’t say that a hypnosis pain management system is the same as sleep though. That is probably the biggest misconception about hypnosis. When you are asleep, you are unconscious, and if you are unconscious you cannot hear anything. If you can’t hear anything, the hypnotist cannot help you. On the contrary, hypnosis is actually a state of keen awareness.

Being consciously aware of everything, a hypnosis pain management program can help both physical and mental causes and lead to many successful avenues to do away with pain. As you know, medications merely block the reception of the physical symptoms of pain on a temporary basis. Hypnosis pain regimens can in fact lessen the amount and strength of pain signals that you perceive. You can actually reprogram your body to send less pain-inducing chemicals to your receptors. This means that you can use fewer pain killing drugs, often no medications at all.

You have probably heard of endorphins, the opiate-like chemicals that are generated in our brains. Endorphins are the chemicals that cause people who train to get a high when they workout hard. Using hypnosis, you can also learn how to program your brain to create pain-relieving endorphins on demand! And send them to the painful part of your body where they are required.

With help of endorphins, the brain is capable of inducing analgesia, which is a mild anesthesia, as well as full anesthesia (numbness). Medical journals are full of accounts both in modern times, as well as in pre-anesthesia days, when invasive surgery has been done under hypnoanesthesia.

Hypnosis can also work to program the mind to direct your attention away from pain. In this way you will perceive far less discomfort. Also, hypnosis pain management programs can help our mind realize and understand that the pain is there, but not to let us suffer from it. A certified hypnotherapist will be familiar with how to fully address additional hypnotic suggestions that will aid in your recovery.

A really effective hypnosis pain remedy lies in neuro linguistic programming, NLP. No doubt that after living with chronic pain or left side pain, you may be cynical that a hypnosis pain program will help. In many cases, NLP methods really work far better for modern thinkers than traditional hypnosis does. It was actually developed for people like you who are brought up to analyze and question everything. Analyzing can mean that we tend to put up barriers to the acceptance of hypnotic suggestions.
