"Can I change the internal conditions, influence my immune system, change the size of muscles, or in the condition of my skin? "
A question from Lyn's post. Back in the mid-70's I was active with a group of people who were professionals in hypnosis as well was some of us who were learing self-hypnosis. So being aware that the mind has a lot of power if we open up to this, it was a track I went back down to help me with my furiously moving metasteses in Jan of 2002.
This is not something I have posted much about excpet we did have a thread some time back about Guided Imagery.
Tricia is a professional, but likens hypnosis with guided imagery. I have found that for me the 2 states are not exactly alike and can augment each other. Then I can even put more instructions into a state of being that I was able to contact within myself. These instruction for healing were embedded into my subconscious and have stood firm as the years pass.
The instructions basically under the hypnosis part are to reach a level of relaxation and well-being where my inner self is not bothered by any outside clatter or antics of others. I then become receptive in this state at the cellular level for the guided imagery portion to go to work. Once the state achieved under hynosis can be accessed almost subconsciously with going through the process of "going under" normally, I am ready for the meditation and instructions. A short cut was created.
Under the post above about guided imagery I will go more into that.
Tricia, how does this sound to you as a practitioner? My hypnotherapist friend is internationally known and we have a long time bond though we rarely see each other. He thinks of me from time to time and I appear in his office between his sessions so that he can see that I am indeed still alive and what we put into play years ago is working. Something that we do not have to understand, it just happens.
