How Hypnosis and Acupuncture can Work Together
By: Richelle Lemon    Tuesday, Apr 10, 2012
Conditions: general hypnosis
Just recently I attended an IMDHA (International Medical and Dental Hypnotherapists Association) meetup and there we had the pleasure of listening to guest speaker Matthew Gindin R.Ac. He spoke of acupuncture and how it would be possible to bring the two practices, acupuncture and hypnotherapy, together. That got me thinking, how would that be possible? Sometime ago the idea of combining massage and hypnotherapy came up, and having been a massage practitioner the idea really didn’t seem practical, at least not when performed at the same time. Where as with acupuncture the practitioner ...Read More
'Inception' As an Analogy of the Hypnotic Process
By: Richelle Lemon    Thursday, Apr 05, 2012
Conditions: general hypnosis
inception – a beginning (Canadian Oxford Dictionary) A simple concept, or so you’d think, but a beginning to what? When? How does it start? For the physical body inception would be when the sperm meets the egg – genes. Within the mind it would be an idea, a thought. Richard Dawkins would say memes (The Selfish Gene, 1976), and depending on how one perceives the world around them a thought can be forever contagious or a split-second revelation. Either way, a contagion or a revelation, an idea is resilient and can be almost impossible to uproot. When the practice of hypnosis ...Read More

Laughter is infectious; we all know the amazing feeling of losing yourself in the energy of laughter. But could laughter be the key to happiness?

Advanced Hypnosis Suggests Post Grad Training Needs
By: VitalityLink Finder    Thursday, Feb 09, 2012
Conditions: shell shock, smoking cessation, birth traumas, past life work, pains with no known cause, anxiety
To some, hypnosis means a funny stage performer who manipulated people into barking like dogs. However many non-smokers recall a hypnotherapist who substituted Tic-Tacs for cigarettes and suggested that they were more enjoyable than smoking. This type of hypnotic manipulation amounts to a verbal form of life saving brain surgery. Hypnotic techniques have great versatility. In modern hands hypnosis has advanced far beyond the stage of post hypnotic suggestions to change old habits. The latest techniques in hypnotherapy focus on regression therapy. Review of old traumas has been a successful ...Read More
Hypnosis - Frequently Asked Questions
By: VitalityLink Finder    Thursday, Feb 09, 2012
Hypnosis - What is it? To many of us, the word hypnosis conjures up fears and apprehensions. We think we are unconscious and under the control of the hypnotist. Nothing could be further from the truth! When we are under hypnosis, we are deeply relaxed physically, while mentally many times more alert that in our normal state of awareness. We hear and respond to everything and are active participants in the therapy. We have great control over what we will or will not do, and will instantly reject any suggestions uncomfortable to us. If we like and want the suggestions given, we are allowed to ...Read More
Use of Meditative Hypnosis for Past Life Regression As Therapy for Drug Abuse
By: VitalityLink Finder    Thursday, Feb 09, 2012
Conditions: chronic pain, drug abuse
by David P. Armentrout, PhD Meditative hypnosis is a technique which employs both the general methods of hypnosis, and also the general techniques of meditation. As an example, meditation in which a person focuses on the breath will, if one develops the meditative skill, lead to a profound trance in which it is possible to regress to review of past lives. When used with traditional hypnotic suggestions to relax, the usual pranayama meditation leads to a state which is equally useful in general hypnotherapy applications. In the same way, prana control methods originally developed for kundalini  ...Read More
Hypnosis and its Many Uses
By: VitalityLink Finder    Thursday, Feb 09, 2012
Conditions: memory recall, programming thought patterns, smoking cessation, rebirthing
HYPNOSIS AND ITS MANY USES by David P. Armentrout, PhD 1. What it is. Hypnosis is a method for producing a state of intense, highly selective focus of attention. Awareness of surrounding events is reduced. The mind operates at a primitive level. Hypnosis is not a strange, bizarre nor unusual condition. We all pass through this state as we begin to wake up in the morning, deciding whether to keep on dreaming. We return through it as we go back to sleep. Almost everyone has watched a sunset, drifted away to music, or slipped into a daydream which captured their attention so much that they ...Read More

Hypnosis & Performance Enhancement
By: VitalityLink Finder    Monday, Dec 26, 2011
Most people create their own barriers to success. People are often unable to achieve levels of performance that accurately represent their true potential due to self-imposed stumbling blocks. People, however, rarely see this as the reason. Instead, they focus on external reasons for their lack of success. They place the blame on poor equipment, bad coaches or trainers, the weather, their shoes, or the direction of the wind. The fact is that most of the time the main reason(s) a person does not perform up to peak ability comes from within him or herself. More importantly, this is why he or she  ...Read More
