The Benefits & Effects of Hypnosis
To this day many people consider hypnosis to be a hocus-pocus type of intervention. Some individuals believe that only weak people can be hypnotized, and others dismiss hypnosis altogether. Yet hypno-sis has been documented to have many positive relaxing effects on the mind and the body.
In fact, hypnosis is completely natural and has no side effects. Physiologically, you will benefit by using hypnosis in many ways.
The key physiological changes include:
Decrease in heart rate
Decrease in respiration rate
Decrease in blood pressure
Decrease in skeletal muscle tension
Decrease in metabolic rate
Decrease in stress hormone production
You may ask yourself What does this mean?
On a physiological level, in hypnosis you begin to reverse the adverse effects of stress as you engage the parasympathetic portion of your central nervous system. As the stress hormone levels begin to decrease, your whole body begins to function on a healthier level, which provides more energy for healing, restoration, and rejuvenation.
Not surprisingly, hypnosis has been used for prevention and/or reduction of psychosomatic disorders such as hypertension, migraines, headaches, asthma, ulcers, insomnia, etc.
On the mental level, as the brain activity reaches alpha waves, you experience a decrease in analytical thinking. Regular practice of hypnosis keeps your mind from racing. Consequently, you experience an improvement in memory and concentration.
Emotionally, you experience an increased availability of positive feelings and emotions because muscle tension, one of the chief impediments to the awareness of your feelings, is reduced.
Clearly, hypnosis is a holistic form of therapy that targets both the mind and the body.
