Hypnosis is merely a heightened state of sensory awareness when focused attention happens.

Self hypnosis is absolutely nothing to be afraid at all due to the fact that it’s a natural state of mind. You can not get stuck in hypnosis and you most certainly can not be made to do or say something that you do not wish to do.

All hypnosis is simply self hypnosis which is utilized in professional hypnotherapy to bypass the analyzing mind to acquire access to the subconscious mind where all an individuals habits, behaviors and emotions are stored. This is where hypnotherapy would then be used to change bad habits like that of smoking, binge eating and binge drinking.

What Is Hypnotherapy

Hypnotherapy is simply a skill that a therapist utilizes which uses the use of hypnosis to alter unwanted behaviors and feelings. Hypnotherapy can be used for stopping smoking, weight management and to alter unwanted habits like skin picking or nail biting.

Hypnotherapy is where a  hypnotist uses neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) and other psychological techniques to change habits, behaviors and emotions at a subconscious level.

Tips On How To Lose Weight | Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

Fast Weight Loss

If you are overweight there is no better time like the present to lose weight. Most think that to achieve weight loss means harsh dieting and exercising. When you look at billboards and magazines you see skinny individuals from Miami and LA. Weight loss comes as a breeze to them, you think. They are either on fad diets or using unhealthy techniques, and eventually it wears off.

All of those fast weight loss programs are not healthy though. There are ways to achieve quick weight loss without risking your health. To achieve your weight loss fast you need a plan. Here are a few healthy weight loss tips.

Ways To Lose Weight

Eat less – This should go without saying but the key is to eat smaller portions of food throughout the day. Use small dinner plates instead of a larger one. Larger plates tempt you to put extra food on it.

Don’t skip meals – Skipping meals leaves you hungry and tempted to snack all day. Eating smaller meals throughout the day keeps your energy burning. If you skip meals your body will start to starve.

Burn more calories than you intake – If you burn about 500 calories more than what you eat you could lose up to 2 pounds a week.

Vegetables – Eat plenty of vegetables to keep necessary vitamins in your system and also feel full.

Water – Drinking water is not only healthy for you but it helps you feeling full.

Write it down – Get in the habit of keeping a journal. You can download food journal sheets to guide you. They should include what you eat, the time, your mood, and exercise information.

Cut out the sugar – Decreasing your sugar intake will decrease the calories. This does not mean to ban sugar from your diet. If you do so you could go into a sugar binge.

Treat yourself – Once a week, treat yourself to a small reward for being on track with your weight loss goals. This could be a children’s serving of ice cream or 5 Hershey’s kisses throughout the day.

If All Else Fails

Losing weight may not be something you can do alone. You can find an exercise partner or join an eating and dieting support group. You may need professional weight loss help. Your doctor can offer healthy advice and guidance. They may even refer you to a therapist to find the root of your overeating problems. Some people have even tried hypnosis for weight loss.

So stop thinking about weight loss. There are many weight loss plans and techniques on the market. Some promote healthy options and others do not. Examine each method carefully by reading reviews and thinking them through. Plans that promise results in a week are obviously scams and unhealthy as well. Take action today and find the best weight loss method for you.

Hypnosis Historical Scientific Research - Quays Clinic Of Hypnotherapy

Hypnosis Scientific Research

1890s – In 1892 a team of doctors were commissioned by the (BMA) British Medical Association to evaluate the effects of hypnotherapy. After the evaluation was completed the committee came back with a report that they were more than satisfied with the genuineness of the hypnotic state. The committee was of the opinion that hypnosis was very effective at alleviating many ailments like problems sleeping (insomnia), overcoming anxiety disorders and pain relief.

1950s – In 1955 a sub-committee of the (BMA) British Medical Association called the “Psychological Medicine Group” led by the eminent T. Ferguson Rodger was commissioned to do another more comprehensive report about hypnosis. After they had consulted with many of the leading experts in the field of hypnosis for over two years they completed a report which was published by the British Medical Journal which was titled “Medical use of hypnotism”.

Hypnosis In Medical Practice

The report stated that hypnotism should be considered for use in medical practice. The committee also commented on how hypnosis was a very valuable tool which could be used for psycho-somatic disorders. Hypnosis had proved very useful in the removal of the symptoms of unwanted habits, behaviors and emotions. The committee also concluded that hypnotism was not only effective in the treatment of psychiatric disabilities but also could be useful in the production of analgesia, anesthesia, dental procedures, surgical procedures and pain relief in childbirth. In the same addition of the journal they published that they had discovered an abundance of evidence from the last 100 years that hypnotism works.

In 1958 The (AMA) American Medical Association produced a more comprehensive report which not only endorsed the BMA report from 1955 but stated that they had concluded that hypnosis has a recognized place in the medical profession recognizing the effectiveness of hypnosis in treating illness when used by professional dentists and medical professionals. Hypnotherapy was also recognized by the AMA who rendered hypnotherapy as an orthodox treatment.

1990s In 1955 in the United States of America the National Institute for Health put together an official statement which concluded that hypnosis was very effective in helping patients with overcoming chronic pain for cancer sufferers as well as other conditions such as tension, headaches, jaw pain and (IBS) irritable bowel syndrome. More research was compiled by the (BMJ) British Medical Journal about hypnotherapy and relaxation therapies which concluded that hypnotherapy could also be used effectively for nausea, overcoming panic disorders, phobias, stopping anxiety, weight control and asthma.

2001 The British Psychological Society commissioned a report by experts in the field of psychology entitled “The Nature of Hypnosis” in which the remit was to produce a statement about the application of hypnosis for clinical purposes, entertainment and training. They concluded that enough studies had been published and accumulated to suggest that hypnotic procedures may benefit patients in the treatment of many conditions in the practice of medicine, psychotherapy and psychiatry. They noted that evidence existed that hypnotic procedures were very effective in overcoming the symptoms of psychosomatic illness which included migraines, gastric-intestinal complaints, irritable bowel syndrome as well as skin complaints like eczema hives and psoriasis. There was also evidence to show that hypnosis could significantly help with weight control and stop smoking.

2003 Erich Flammer and Dr. Walter Bongartz from the University of Konstanz in Germany published their analysis on the effectiveness of hypnotherapy. The examined data related to psychosomatic illness, stop smoking, test anxiety and pain relief. They showed that hypnotherapy was very effective in overcoming many different medical problems.

Undoubtedly the boundaries of hypnotherapy in modern times will be significantly moved forward thanks to the work of Dave Elman, Ormond McGill, Milton Erickson, Gerald Kein and many other professional hypnotherapists.

Hypnosis | Quays Clinic of Hypnotherapy

Franz Anton Mesmer

Franz Anton Mesmer May 23rd 1734-1815 who was a German physician who theorized that there was a natural energetic transference between, animated an inanimate objects which he called (animal magnetism) and other spiritual forces grouped together which he called (mesmerism). Mesmer treated both individuals and groups of people to overcome many different problems both physically and psychological. With his patients he used to create a focal point by staring in to the patient’s eyes (creating a trance like state which is in modern terms known as a hypnotic induction). He would then move his hands across the patient’s shoulders and down the arms and press his fingers on the hypochondrium of the patient, holding them in position for many hours which brought about the change that was desired.

When working with groups of patients Mesmer put a vessel called a “baquet” in the middle of the floor which had holes punctured in the top of it which would correspond to how many patients were in attendance. From the holes there were iron rods which were bent at right angles pointing outwards towards the part of the person’s body which needed healed. From the iron rod there was a rope which the patient would hold which was supposed to communicate with the vessel and then to the next person all the way around the vessel. This was a very early form of healing which was very quickly stopped by King Louis XVI who appointed four members of the Faculty of Medicine as commissioners to investigate animal magnetism as practiced by d’Eslon and Mesmer.

Where Did The Term Hypnosis Come From?

The word hypnosis was proposed by Dr. James Braid (1799-1860) around 1841 who was a Scottish surgeon who studied Mesmer’s work. The word hypnosis derives from a technique from mesmerism after Dr. Braid attended an event on mesmerism by Swiss magnetizer Charles Lafontaine in Manchester. Dr. Braid initially concluded that the phenomenon was a form of sleep so called it hypnosis after Hypnos the Greek god of sleep and master of dreams. The words “hypnosis and hypnotism” both came from the term neuro-hypnotism (nervous sleep). In 1847 Dr. Braid realized that the phenomenon of catalepsy, anesthesia and amnesia could be induced without sleep so he attempted to change the name to “monoideaism” (a state of prolonged absorption in a single idea) but it was too late. The term “hypnosis” was here to stay because it had already been adopted all over Europe.

The Future Of Hypnosis

Hypnosis has moved on a very long way since Dr. Braid and has become widely accepted in the medical profession as a very valuable natural alternative therapy, which has proven to be incredibly effective where modern medicine has been ineffective (especially for psychological disorders). In modern day times hypnosis can be used as a powerful tool by clinical hypnotherapists to access the subconscious part of the mind where they can use the skill of hypnotherapy for helping people with stopping smoking, losing weight or overcoming fear and social phobias.

What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a heightened state of mental awareness when focused attention takes place both in animals and humans naturally in everyday life. When this natural state of mind takes place we tend to be in a daydream like state where we are actually more aware of our surroundings (what we see, feel, touch, smell and taste) but are not in an analyzing, thinking or decision making mindset. We all know what it’s like when we are driving when we are daydreaming and miss our turnoff or arrive at a destination without remembering how we got there (but we did it without any problems). We all know what it’s like when we are totally absorbed when reading a book and we are asked a question by someone else and we didn’t initially hear or acknowledge them. Hypnosis is nothing to fear at all it’s a natural state of mind.

What Can Hypnosis Change?

Hypnosis (focused attention) is just a tool that a clinical hypnotherapist uses to bypass the analyzing part of the mind which then allows access to the subconscious mind. When the bypass of the conscious mind occurs hypnotherapy can then be used to create the necessary change that is desired by using a multitude of different hypnotic techniques. Hypnosis is commonly used for a wide range of emotional, psychological and emotional problems:

• Relationship problems
• Overcoming anxiety
• Stress management
• Building confidence
• Sexual problems
• Public speaking fear
• Weight control
• Stop smoking
• Losing weight

What Are Hypnotic Inductions?

The hypnotist helps the client to create total focused attention or concentration on either an external focal point or by using the client’s imagination to focus on internal mental imagery. Hypnotic inductions are just different ways of using focused attention or concentration to induce hypnosis.

Progressive Relaxation Induction

A progressive relaxation technique is where the hypnotist or hypnotherapist gives suggestions to a client to slowly relax muscle groups that lead from one to the next from the head down through the body to the feet to create physical relaxation (this technique can be used for people who find it difficult to relax who don’t like to rush things). When mental relaxation follows this is where hypnosis is achieved. This induction can take a long time and can reduce the time clinical hypnotherapists or hypnotists have to spend on the most important part of the hypnotherapy session which is the actual therapy.

Rapid Induction

In my opinion the “Rapid Induction” tends to be not only the best overall induction but is the most effective way to quickly produce the somnambulistic state of hypnosis in less than four minutes (Dave Elman’s induction is one of my favorites).

Instant or Shock Inductions

This kind of induction is superb for obtaining an instant bypass of the conscious critical analyzing mind by instantly interrupting the logical thinking of the mind with something that is either mentally or physically unexpected. Interrupting a pattern of behavior of the conscious part of the mind causes an immediate handover of control to the subconscious survival instinct which instantly reacts to respond to the situation because the conscious mind is not quick enough to do so.

Confusional Inductions

A confusional induction can be used to overload the conscious analyzing mind with information where the conscious mind has no comprehension or understanding of the information it is receiving. If the analyzing mind can’t make sense of the information its receiving it becomes bored and switches off which gives access to the subconscious mind.
