Rapport is a very important and valuable part of Conversational Hypnosis.
Building the type of rapport you need in your hypnosis is a job that requires hard work. Now rapport itself, on a non hypnotic level, is easy to build. You do it every day with family, friends, co-workers and even …

As the surgeon’s knife cut into her chest, Pippa Plaisted, 46, should have been in agony. The 45-minute breast cancer operation she was undergoing at Lister Hospital, London, would normally have needed a general anesthetic. But Plaisted hadn’t been anesthetized, nor given painkilling drugs of any sort.
Instead, hypnotherapist Charles Montigue stood at the operating table, his thumb resting on Plaisted’s forehead, monitoring the hypnotic trance he’d put her in minutes before surgery began. Eyes closed but awake, Plaisted could hear the surgeon calmly telling her, at each stage of the …

Medical hypnosis (also called hypnotherapy) remains one of the most controversial therapeutical methods in Psychiatry. It was coldly received after the undue criticism of Sigmund Freud, the father of Psychoanalysis.

By Jaime V. Pitner, MICP, RHC
Your mind is much like a computer, what you experience shows up on the monitor of your consciousness, without a thought of where it came from. But, like your computer, much work happens behind the scenes, processes, programs, electrical pathways of information and direction, and the vast storage of memory.
You may think that you have one mind, but you actually have two, or perhaps better put, you have two parts of one mind: the conscious and …

To begin one might ask what exactly a hypnotic anchor is. Simply put, a hypnotic anchor is an association to any life memory. “Hypnotic anchors” are composed using all of our senses including that of sight, sound, smell, taste, and sensation.

Sweet Dreams
If you were to ask 10 people what dreams are made of, you’d probably get 10 different answers. That’s because scientists are still unraveling this mystery. One possibility: Dreaming exercises brain by stimulating the trafficking of synapses between brain cells.
