Hypnosis Is Managing Your Migraines

If you understand pain then you can learn how to process it and deal with it more efficiently. This holds true for almost any kind of pain or illness, but most especially for dealing with migraines and a patient’s attempt to treat them with hypnosis.

While this is doable—the treatment of migraines with hypnosis—you should understand that hypnosis will not be the cure to a migraine. It will simply diminish it’s strength and reduce the length of time you, the patient, will suffer under it. Hypno...

Pediatric Hypnotherapy: Safe & Simple

A common myth in the realm of hypnotherapy is that it can be an unsafe practice. And if adults are unable to accept the truth of the matter for their own personal hypnotherapy practice—that it is entirely safe—then how can they accept that this could become an incredibly useful and effective tool for their children?

The beauty of hypnotherapy for children is that it’s often a much easier task to induce hypnosis in a child than it is for an adult. We as adults have all these cognitive limitatio...

Breathe A Little Easier With Hypnosis

Asthma is a condition that affects more than 22 million people in America alone, more than 6 million of which are children. Among the very serious side effects of suffering an asthma attack is the feeling of panic, anxiety and helplessness. Adding this feeling to the fact that many asthma attacks happen in public, or to a child during his or her school day, the blowback of having this condition go active at any time can greatly affect the sufferer.

One very real suggestion for curbing these at...

How To Obtain Your R&R With Hypnosis

A major facet of hypnosis is that cognitive behavioral therapy is an underlying note of what makes the practice so successful. If you can alter your state of thinking, the way you process information, stresses and situations that cause anxiety, you can effectively coerce yourself into more relaxing moments in your day-to-day life.

Some practice hypnosis by chance, purely for the psychological change they feel it brings on, while others employ hypnotherapy as a “last hope” for positive and nota...

Hypnosis: Your Post-Surgical Recovery

Did you know that your natural response to pain can increase blood flow and hormone levels, affecting the nervous system?

It can. And does. Many who’ve experienced post-surgical pain know how awful this is. Many more people tend to forego or avoid having an important or vital surgery primarily for fear of the post-surgery pain.

While sedatives and pain killers can aid those who’ve undergone surgery, their effects have been known to induce nausea and vomiting—needless to say, this is the last th...

Anxiety Doesn’t Own You – Hypnosis Is Your Key

Debilitating stress and its resulting anxiety can infiltrate every single nook and cranny of a person’s life. It can make it seem impossible to ever come out from under the rock of anxiety and its symptoms.

Feeling overwhelmed is a natural part of life, but that feeling should not persist for weeks on end, stopping you from pursuing the kind of life you’d like to lead. Anxiety, many have said, is a mental state. Meaning you can take supreme control over it and your life.

How? You can beat the v...

Nix The Nicotine With Hypnosis

You’ve tried the patches, you’ve tried the gum, you’ve tried cold turkey. Now what? That’s a great question. But before it’s answered it’s important to know that there isn’t anything wrong with using nicotine gums, patches and the like. If they help you—brilliant! That’s wonderful. And you should know that hypnosis can still play a very real and vital role, in combination with any other “quit kit” tools being used to leave smoking behind.

Did you know that you can, technically, quit smoking if...

The Hypnosis Formula For Weight Management

If you’re looking for a quick and easy way to lose weight, it’s entirely possible you’re thinking hypnotherapy is the solution to your problem. However, there are many misconceptions about hypnotherapy, not the least of which is that this practice can be the fast answer to a long and tiresome problem.

Unfortunately, hypnosis cannot and will not be a “snap your fingers and it’s done” solution to helping any person lose weight.

Is it a potential solution? Yes! Very much so. It can assist you in y...

The Circle Of Insomnia & How Hypnosis Can Break It

Did you know that one of the reasons for insomnia, and the worried and panicky thoughts that spring up as a result of your insomnia, are closely related such that they form a circle?

Sure, this circle can be broken, but from the sleepless victim’s standpoint, it can seem never-ending and entirely hopeless.

First, before we go any further, if you suffer from insomnia, you may want to discuss the issue with your physician, initially. You should do this to rule out sleep apnea or any other health...

Introduction To Guided Self Hypnosis

Self-hypnosis is a great way to get all of the benefits of hypnosis without having to visit a hypnotist. Instead of paying hundreds or thousands of dollars to visit a private hypnotist, why not simply do self-hypnosis in the privacy of your own home and on your own schedule? Guided self-hypnosis makes this process even easier by providing a hypnosis program you can simply follow by listening.

Self Hypnosis v. Guided Hypnosis

Just to be clear, the difference between “self hypnosis” alone and “gu...
