A Hypnotic event is being made
available at The Om Shoppe & Spa, and we wanted to dispel some myths about
this often-misunderstood form of therapy.
Hypnosis is a phenomena often
misrepresented by the media, being portrayed as a form of psychic penetration
in which the recipient’s will is subsumed by the influence of the hypnotist.
This is an inaccurate representation born from Hollywood’s love of exaggerating
that which is misunderstood. Hypnosis is actually a far more common phenomenon
than most people realize and always
involves a self-induced trance state.
Human beings, especially in times
of relaxation or absentmindedness, have a natural proclivity for shifting into
trance-states. Individuals heavily entrenched in the physical realm refer to
trance-state episodes as daydreams or fantasies, however those more ethereally
inclined recognize the trance-state as being the spirit’s natural inclination
to rest and rebalance. In a stress-free
existence, the mind and spirit are naturally connected. However, the real world
is highly stressful, and the mind responds to this stress by constructing
mental defenses and barriers. While these defenses do serve to protect
individuals from external forces of stress, they also restrict people from
connecting with their spirit. In the trance state, mental defenses and neuroses
diminish, allowing the spirit to emerge from unconsciousness to consciousness
and awareness.
There are many ways of inducing a trance-state
including auto-hypnotic techniques such as
by watching a pendulum swing

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and
is a natural state which we enter into many times a day, often without
realizing it. When we connect with our spirit we are connecting with our
intuition and higher self, which is why people in this state often report
sudden insights, epiphanies, or ideas derived from their unconscious mind. The
trance-state creates a deep level of relaxation in which physiological arousal
is muted. This allows individuals to remember, fantasize, or visualize an
infinite number of things without experiencing an emotional charge attached to
those visualizations. In this lies incredible therapeutic potential, as
hypnotized individuals will be able to re-approach traumatic memories and
experiences without experiencing a negative emotional reaction.

and offers various suggestions to the client's mind

Hypnosis is capable of blurring the
lines between the conscious and unconscious mind. This means that anything a
consciousness has experienced can be accessed in a trance-state. Not only have
individuals reported experiencing early infantile memories, but reports of
experiencing memories associated with a previous incarnation of that
consciousness are common. This phenomenon, called past life regression
hypnosis, occurs in a deep, usually guided hypnotic state. Often, the past life
that our consciousness reveals to us in this state is directly related to an
issue of unresolved karma. Often, experiences of previous lives allow
individuals to gain perspective on their life problems and approach challenges
with a wider frame of reference.
Many people, when bogged down with
a busy or distracted mind, may find it difficult to slip into a deep hypnotic state,
as can be consciously achieved through meditation, relaxation, or flow-states.
Trained hypnotherapists understand the spirit’s natural desire to surface, and
are able to guide patients to a hypnotic state. Upon deeply relaxing a patient,
a hypnotherapist will guide the participant by means of suggestion to corners
of the psyche normally unapproachable due to extreme mental defenses
constructed by the patient. In the trance state, the body will not display the
normal fear-response of a typical phobia-reaction, and the mind will be able to
explore why the phobia exists without being influenced by fear, shame, or
doubt. It is important to recognize: hypnosis and suggestion are only
influential when they correspond to the desires of the recipient. A hypnotist
will only be able to make you cluck like a chicken if that’s what you want to
do.
