What Ailments Is Hypnotherapy Suitable For Treating?

Hypnotherapy is useful for treating a variety of complaints, both physical and mental. Used in conjunction with other therapies, such as psychoanalysis, hypnotherapy can help patients to overcome certain psychological complaints, including Obsessive Compulsive Disorder, depression, phobias, and neuroses. It is particularly useful for overcoming:

• Phobias

How Does Hypnotherapy Work?

The autonomic nervous system controls all the automatic functions of the body while we are asleep and it has been proven that words and suggestion can affect the central nervous system while we are awake.

Distracting the conscious mind causes a dissociation of the conscious and unconscious mind and is the first step in inducing hypnosis. There are many differing techniques a Hypnotherapist can use to put a client into hypnosis.

By talking to their clients in a soothing voice and getting them to visualize relaxing and monotonous situations, practitioners are able to send their clients into a state of very deep relaxation where they will still be aware of their surroundings but are very much more sensitive to suggestion.

Once the patient has closed their eyes, the Hypnotherapist deepens the trance by suggesting to the conscious mind to daydream or relax. While the conscious mind is inactive the subject is likely to respond to all suggestions literally. Positive suggestions are then introduced and absorbed by the conscious mind. When in this state, the patient's subconscious can be 'reprogrammed' to deal with certain feelings in a different way and as such, hypnotherapy is not only very effective in the treatment of phobias, addictions, but it can also reduce stress and alleviate pain.

Hypnosis is not a therapy in itself. Rather a therapy is conducted in hypnosis, which is known as hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation and concentration at one with the state of heightened awareness induced by suggestion. It is a natural trance state, like daydreaming, when the mind is relaxed and focused, where time passes very quickly, accompanied by good feelings of deep relaxation of mind and body.

Hypnotherapy is a treatment that is based on the premise that the mind and body do not work in isolation. By sending the patient into a hypnotic state, the therapist aims to trigger the body's mental and physical self-healing processes that lie in the subconscious.

Anybody can be sent into a hypnotic state; it is not a sign of gullibility or suggestibility on the part of the patient. Hypnosis induces a state of relaxation and concentration that practitioners claim is a natural manifestation of the mind at work.

When undergoing hypnotherapy, patients are conscious and aware, but are open to the power of suggestion. They cannot be induced to do anything against their will.

Our Cleansing Detox Program

Detox sounds scarier than what it really is. People equate the word more so with sobriety however; there are others ways of being toxic other than alcohol and drugs. Everything we put into our bodies determines our state of toxicity.

When toxic metals and chemical food additives get inside your body, it takes a strong cleanser to scrub your body clean from the inside out. The combination of ionic foot detox, vitamins, and minerals through detoxification work in this fashion to remove toxins from your body tissues and organs, from your water stores, fat deposits, and within your bloodstream. Natural cleansing is critical to remove body toxins, and protects from re-depositing them somewhere else in the body.

Toxins such as lead, mercury, arsenic, and the effects of aspartame's by-product of formaldehyde, block nutrients from getting into normal body cells in the same fashion a lead shield blocks radiation during an x-ray.

When toxins are present within your body, oxygen and the your body's "food supply" cannot get inside your cells to supply needed nutrients, nor can the waste products in the cells get out. This produces an environment for diseases to form.

Our goal at Lotus Heart is to help you IDENTIFY the toxins in your body, REMOVE them, and RESTORE your body’s balance.
.

• Identifying what toxins are present in the body is critical to any detoxification program. We encourage our clients to have a Hair Analysis test done to identify what toxins are present and which essential minerals and nutrients are out of balance
• Removal of toxins is accomplished with a program of Ionic Foot Detox baths supported by detox tea and nutritional suggestions. It is also recommended that the client be treated with Cranial Release Technique (link to Cranial release TechniqueÒ to heighten the detoxification process.
• Restoring lost nutrients is supported through good nutrition and specific nutritional supplements recommended in your Hair Analysis report
