Hypnotherapy:
The Alternative
Medicine
Miracle
By
Charles Wm. Skillas, PhD, BCH,

People
are hailing the newly rediscovered,
yet ancient, healing modality
of Hypnotherapy as the wonder
of Alternative Medicine. So
why, if this modality is so
powerful, are so many people
who seek its healing effects
disappointed in their results?
Maybe, because it's not being
done right.
Hypnotherapy's
portent for healing stems from
its ability to reach the subconscious
mind, where according to medical
authority about 85% of disease
originates psychosomatically.
Some authorities say that all
disease is of the mind. Because
of the great cost involved in
modern medicine and lack of
insurance by so many, there
is a great clamor for simpler
and less costly healing approaches.
Hypnosis
is a very old technique that
permits the Critical Factor
of the Conscious Mind to be
by-passed.
This
results in a highly receptive
subconscious state of mind into
which beneficial suggestions
can be offered. Hypnosis itself
is no big deal. One can easily
learn to hypnotize in a 3 day
weekend course. It is what the
hypnotist does with the client
after he is in hypnosis that
makes all the difference in
whether the client is helped.
It is here, that therapy comes
into play and what makes the
hypnotist a Hypnotherapist.
Many
hypnotists are trained to hypnotize,
but are not trained to be Hypnotherapists.
These hypnotists put a person
into hypnosis and while the
person is in this receptive
state, read the client a prescription
to reprogram the subconscious
mind. For instance, to stop
smoking, the hypnotist will
hypnotize the client and give
suggestions to his subconscious
to stop smoking. The same technique
is used for weight loss, addictions,
etc. These surface techniques
are not very effective, achieving
little more success than the
placebo effect. This is why
these hypnosis smoking cessation
and weight loss programs are
usually unsuccessful over the
long term.
Why
is this so? For every difficulty
a person experiences, there
is a cause. This cause is always
from either one or more of the
following: Something traumatic
that happened in This Life or
a Past Life; An unresolved Internal
Conflict; A Genetic Carryover
from biological ancestors; or
Spirit Attachment. The cause
of the distress must be uncovered
and removed and only then, can
the subconscious be reprogrammed
so that the difficulty will
not reestablish.
