“You use hypnosis not as a cure but as a means of establishing a favorable climate in which to learn.” - Milton Erickson

Three Great Uses of Hypnosis:

Hypnosis is not new, and although it has gone in and out of fashion, it has always been a powerful way to change your life. Historically, Christians have many times been the community who considered it evil and dubious. And yet, in either prayer or a hypnosis session, the participant is going inside inside their own consciousness and making changes. They are essentially the same thing, an internal change and shift that results in an outward result. The most significant difference is that prayer is an ask, while hypnosis engages practiced results.

A good hypnotist will have their client practice the change in mental patterns until it seems natural, resulting in a behavior change. Most prayer practitioners do not rehearse or practice the outcome during a prayer session, they just say, "amen" and hope for the best. 

And so, here are three fantastic ways to use hypnosis.

1. Alter Thought Patterns and Behaviors: 

Hypnosis has shown remarkable success in breaking patterns and altering an ingrained thought pattern, resulting in a specific behavior. As a hypnotist, I help people forgive. Sometimes they are forgiving a person, sometimes it is a situation, or an institution. In a hypnotic state, a client is highly receptive to suggestions, which allows me to lead clients into a new thought pattern. Sometimes, it is just a minor adjustment. If someone comes to me because they absolutely HATE someone. I can't remove that hatred from their heart. No one can. However, if my client wants to change their behavior toward that specific person, I can help lead them to new conclusions about how they want to behave, which gives them options instead of feeling stuck in a rut as to how they act with a specific person. 

2. Stress Reduction: 

Another area in which hypnosis has shown tremendous effectiveness is stress reduction and feelings of anxiousness. Many modern diseases have their trigger in stress. Finding ways to reduce the stress of work, family, raising children, caring for adults, and just life in general is invaluable. Hypnosis is excellent at providing mental space for self-regulation and even pain management. 

3. Enhancing Performance and Self-Confidence: 

Did you know that many Olympic teams employ a hypnotist? All sports have the element of competition, not only with another athlete but especially with the self. One of the most obvious is golfers because they mainly play against themselves. Weightlifters, gymnasts, and many other sports are mind-control sports. But it's not just sports; performance and self-confidence are also essential in music, public speaking, and even sales.

In Conclusion:

It's no wonder that hypnosis is once again emerging as a potent tool for creating change across various aspects of human existence. Its unique ability to access the subconscious mind and alter thought patterns has proven effective in managing pain, stress, and performance anxiety. Countless success stories stand as a testament to its power, making it an invaluable tool for anyone seeking to create positive change and a better life.
