A new article in Prevention (Ecklekamp, 2013, p. 13) states that Baylor University's Mind-Body Medicine Research Laboratory has used self-hypnosis to help women with hot flashes.  According to the article, "After 12 weeks, the women, on average, reported about 75% fewer hot flashes." This is a great example of how effective hypnosis is and illustrates why hypnosis is a mind-body modality.  It also highlights the importance of continuing practice of self-hypnosis. If you are having hot flashes, or any other body issues, please give us a call and let us help you!  Part of our four session beginning program is three weeks of self-hypnosis training.  It will give you a mind-body tool for life!

The bad news is - as the holidays roll around, people are beginning to stress.  The good news is - you don't have to!   Stressing is a total behavior usually experienced emotionally and physically and is caused by what we choose to think and do.  If we change what we are thinking and doing then we change what we are feeling, both emotionally and physically.  Hypnosis is a GREAT way to change our thoughts and behaviors to allow ourselves to relax and enjoy the holidays, rather than stress over them.  The only reason you should be stressing is because you choose to stress - which may seem strange, but many people choose to do this. Call us today to schedule an appointment for an Ultimate Relaxation session.  Choose to RELAX his holiday season and let us help you do that! Dr. Ron ...read more

When asked why we changed our name to incorporate "Mind-Body" in the title, even though we still do clinical hypnosis, I enjoy getting an opportunity to respond. The more we learn about hypnosis, the more we learn about the importance of the mind-body connection.  In fact, it is this mond-body connection that makes hypnosis work! The Mind aspect deals not only with the conscious mind, that knows what we mean when we use metaphor in our work, but also the SUBCONSCIOUS MIND, that communicates with the body to bring about change.  In fact, it is the subconscious mind that does just about all of the communication with the body.  It does this through mental images, pictures in the mind. In hypnosis, we access the subconscious mind and then suggest change by creating mental images.  It doesn't matter how wild the images are (some have suggested that the wilder the better) because the conscious mind knows (logically) what we are trying to achieve.  The conscious mind, however, doesn't communicate with the body except on a conscious level. You may be saying, DUH, ut this isn't as intuiitive as it sounds. The subconscious is ALWAYS at work, unless overridden by the conscious mind.  The subconscious is how we can drive to work and not remember all of the particulars of the trip.  While the conscious mind was busy thinking about whatever it was thinking about, the subconscious was controlling the bdy to drive the car through traffic and to our destination.    This is the same effect we achieve in hypnosis. By accessing the subconscious and communicating with it through mental imagery, we set in motion a non-stop process to bring about change.  We can always override the subconscious programming (especially if it is new), but the longer the subconscious program runs, the stronger it becomes and the more powerful it becomes.  The conscious mind can always guide us to do something different, but once the program ":takes," it is the dominant program that controls our behavior. Mind-body science is affirming he connection between the subconscious and behavior.  This is the reason for the change - because it beter describes what it is that is really going on in hypnosis.

People often ask what hypnosis can be used to help treat.  I usually ask them to tell me what it is about themselves (or their lives) they would like to change and I will tell them how hypnosis can help them. However, there are some things that hypnosis is good for which I can't explain why it works. This isn't necessarily troubling because we really don't know how hypnosis works, at all, but we suppose that by dealing with things like stress (which is at the root of about 90% of all physical and psychological problems in our society) we can affect changes in the body through indirect means.  Visualization and colors are very useful in hypnosis, but I have no idea why they work the way they do.  If you read my blogs, you'll know I've conquered my acid reflux through self-hypnosis using visualization and color.  How exactly did that work?  Beats me.  All I know is that it DID work and now I don't suffer like I did. The color orange is considered to be a healing color and it is one that I use quite a bit.  What is special about orange?  Beats me.  All I know is that it works and people who incorporate it find it to be very useful in healing. I'm not out to re-invent the wheel.  There are things that are used in traditional healing practices that have been around for thousands of years that people find work.  I use this ancient wisdom in the modern practice of hypnosis to help affect results in the lives of my clients. Why does much of it work?  Beats me.  All I know is that it does work and people (including myself) find relief from physical and psychological ailments using hypnosis. Do you have a problem and want to change it?  Give us a call.  Hypnosis is good for what ails you. Ron     ...read more

Sounds silly, doesn't it?  How does hypnosis work on acid reflux?  I must admit that I have no idea - but I know it works.  I have been using self-hypnosis to work with my own acid reflux problems for the past several weeks and have received dramatic improvement.Prior to beginning my self-hypnosis regimen for acid reflux, I was taking 150mg of Ranitidine every day, and sometimes twice a day.  Although this alleviated the acid reflux for the moment, it also caused some unwanted side effects, including nausea, diarrhea, and nose bleeds.  I couldn't blow my nose without getting a nose bleed and this was very troublesome, especially when out in public.  Often, my nose would just start bleeding spontaneously.After working with my self-hypnosis, I now take Ranitidine 2-3 times per week.  Yes, you read that correctly.  I went from using medication at least 7 times per week to using it 2-3 times per week and I continue to work on my self-hypnosis program to eliminate the need for medication, at all.I have made no obvious changes in my diet that would explain the change.  The fact is, the hypnosis did the trick.  Let's be very clear that I have to do daily maintenance to maintain my health in this area.  If I don't do my self-hypnosis program then I suffer - greatly.  But when I maintain my program of self-hypnosis, I see absolutely amazing results.If you or someone you love suffers from acid reflux and is tired of the pesky side effects of the various medications, give hypnosis a try.  The results are proven and the only side effects are relaxation and a better night's sleep.  Give us a call at 865-851-8687 ...read more
