Medical Hypnotherapy

Bernie Siegel, MD, author of Love, Medicine, and Miracles, writes:

"The mind and body communicate constantly with each other, but most of this communication is on an unconscious level."

Caroline Myss, PhD., author of Why People Don’t Heal and How They Can, writes that:

"the truth is that healing and change are one and the same thing."

"Symbolic perception allows us to see that the real meaning of a crisis lies in showing us what we need to learn about ourselves."

"We are meant to outgrow ourselves."

and in her book Sacred Contracts:

"The blueprint for the overall healing, however, begins in the mind."

So here's the thing: our bodies and our minds are intimately connected, so much so that we holistic practitioners refer to it in its unity as "the bodymind". Basically, our subconscious thoughts and beliefs about ourselves, including those about our physical bodies, are the "code" behind the outer reality of what manifests physically! When we experience a physical dysfunction or problem of some kind it reflects an inner stuck-ness or negative or outdated construct. Again, like a television station that broadcasts 24 hours a day, your subconscious mind is always thinking about your life, even if you don't have it "tuned in" consciously!!!

So even when we are unable to otherwise medically treat a given physical condition effectively, we can still look at and work with how we think about that area of our body. I can lead you in one of many creative hypnotherapeutic approaches available for dialoguing with, examining, and re-scripting your health into a condition of freedom and power. We check in with and develop the symbolic imagery with which your deep mind is "thinking your body". And along with outward physical improvements, you make and benefit from positive changes in related spiritual, mental, emotional, and intentional conditions. Especially good when nothing else seems to be working; excellent as a safe complement to standard medical treatments!

+++ TIP +++ Mood Enhancer — self-Hypnosis

If you are feeling tired or stressed or annoyed with the circumstances of your life in any given moment, you might want to try taking a little mental vacation. Find a spot where you won’t be disturbed for several minutes, even if it means going into a bathroom stall to sit down. Get as comfortable as possible, take a couple of nice deep inhales and let the exhales fall fully out. Decide to visit in your imagination a place you love — it can be a place you have visited before or a place you have always known you would love: a beautiful beach, a comfortable couch on a veranda in the rain, a place you love to hike or walk, your grandmother’s kitchen or someplace you loved when you were a child……. Whatever feels relaxing and happy and beautiful and special to you. With each of the next deep breaths, think of a visual detail of the place you are imagining, a sound detail, and a feeling detail of the place you are imagining, details that you enjoy, in whatever order you want. Take a couple more deep relaxing breaths and bring your attention back to the place where you are sitting. Feel your feet on the floor and look around you and take care of yourself as you bring the pleasant feeling of your imagined journey back into your present day and moment.

I wish you joy and peace, imagination and self-connection!
