The Power Of Hypnosis
The power of Hypnosis. Hypnosis for healing dates back thousands of years. It was not until the 1700s that scientists began to truly study hypnosis. They began to understand what happens when people are in a trance. Even so, there is still debate as to what causes the changes during hypnosis. One thing that we are able to understand is the results of hypnosis.
Hypnosis is one of the most effective treatments in healing the mind, the body and spirit. Through years of studies and proven results, we have some answers. The real cause does not necessarily answer how the power of hypnosis works. Having said that, its success has an effect on day to day living around the world.
So how?
Being able to gauge the power of hypnosis may be impossible. Often it may appear mysterious, however, the idea of hypnosis is very simple. It communicates with the subconscious mind.
It is difficult to put a number on how many people hypnosis has helped. The sheer power of hypnosis easily shows its ability to help clients overcome issues. These issues include fear, stress, anxiety, addiction, and other things that people struggle with. To answer the question “how powerful is hypnosis?” It’s easier to look at the results of hypnosis rather than trying to why it works.
The Power of hypnosis to heal
In 2011, American Kristen Richie had a tumour that required surgery. The news was devastating. 20 years before, Kristen had already had 4 brain tumours removed. Dreading the surgery, Kristen began 
suffering from anxiety. She decided to try hypnosis. She had 4 sessions prior to her surgery and, to her surprise, felt amazing afterwards. This drastically reduced her recovery time. She credits the positive experience to hypnosis.
Kristen’s case is not unusual. It’s quite normal. There was a Harvard study. Patients who had hypnosis before surgery required less drugs before and during surgery. In addition, they healed quicker than those who did not have hypnosis. They also had fewer complications.
Hypnosis can provide such powerful mental and physical benefits. Clearly, it is a testament to how powerful it can be for our body and mind.
The Power To Stop Addiction
Addiction has destroyed many lives over the years and can take over a person’s life, ruining it. When most people think about drugs, alcohol, or any other type of addiction they picture the physical effects. Even when talking about treatment for addiction. Most focus on the symptoms of withdrawal. Addiction is as much mental as it is physical.
Despite how powerful addiction can be on the mind, hypnosis is an effective way to allow users to overcome it. However, it may take some time and a number of sessions. Hypnosis is so powerful because it taps deep into the mind. This can help stop the desire addicts have to use again.
Ultimately the proof that finally answers how powerful hypnosis is, is in the results. From aiding in the healing of the body to overcoming the strongest mental challenges. Hypnosis has helped millions of people around the world.

November 7, 2014I had no idea that hypnosis was so useful to some. I was asked to give it a try a few years ago, but declined to do it because I felt it wasn’t needed and I never believed in it, but reading this I am starting to change my mind. Thanks for sharing!

November 7, 2014From what I’ve heard, is that not everyone will experience great effects from hypnosis. Some people may not even see any changes when doing it. Others will change big time. I’ve seen many programs where people get over certain problems and some people show no change and I think it depends on the person and if that person even tries. I think a lot of people don’t let their mind wander or whatever during hypnosis, which is what everyone is supposed to do, essentially follow the hypnosis process. Some people don’t follow the routine and think of other things and so on and therefore it doesn’t work all the time.

November 7, 2014I haven’t looked into hypnosis too much, but from what I did see, the majority of people out there who get hypnotized are able to get hypnotized. It doesn’t work on everyone, but it seems to work on most. Anyways, I’ve always wanted to be hypnotized to get over my stress, anxieties and even back pain that I’ve had for years, so I’m going to see if I can schedule an appointment with a hypnotherapist soon.

November 7, 2014I never heard of hypnosis helping someone recover faster after such a surgery, but I suppose it’s possible. If one can trick the brain into thinking there’s less pain or even no pain, it could be possible right? Very interesting read guys, thanks for the share!

November 7, 2014Hypnosis is a great way of overcoming many things, from addiction to just general problems. It can block out pain from the mind, which is also quite good!

November 10, 2014I think the strength of hypnosis comes down to how willing a person is to get hypnotized and how willing that person attempts to listen to the therapist in question. I believe hypnosis is one of the most powerful ways of changing ones mind for the better. It it can literally break someones addictive nature, it can be powerful to do so many other things as well.

November 10, 2014Not everyone will take to hypnosis, but that is because they don’t open their mind to it. I’ve opened my mind to hypnotherapy and I must say, it truly does work if you let it work. The power is how much you open your mind to it. Otherwise hypnosis wont work if you’re not willing to try. The power comes from us.

November 10, 2014The thing about hypnosis is that it doesn’t work for everyone right away. Some people need to take more sessions, some are hypnotized right away. It depends on who wants it to work and who doesn’t. I was a skeptic for a while until I actually tried it. And it’s an eye opening experience. It really does change your mind in a way that helps. I totally recommend it.

November 10, 2014Hypnosis only works for those willing to try it. It doesn’t always work for everyone and it can take a lot longer for some. For me it took months for hypnosis to work, but that was because I wasn’t focused and wasn’t really trying like I should have, once I did, wow, it works like a charm. There are skeptics and those who just can’t believe it, but that’s okay, that’s their choosing.

November 10, 2014I knew that hypnosis has helped people fight off addictions, but had no idea it could help recovery and curb pain associated with it. It’s a very interesting thing to realize that we can change the brain to think that we’re feeling less pain and so on, I never would have believed such a thing before, but I am starting to now.

November 11, 2014There’s so much that can be helped with hypnosis, from healing and overcoming addiction, but there’s so much more. The mind is a complex thing and many people have gotten over stress, pain, anxieties, depression and so much more. Hypnosis can actually help many people overcome serious life problems.

November 11, 2014So hypnosis can help with my back pain? Or make me think my back pain is less noticeable? I got into a sever car accident a few years back and it tore me apart. My back hasn’t gotten much better and I hate the pain. Tried pain medicine and even surgery, but nothing they did worked. So I was wondering if hypnosis can actually help make the pain less noticeable?

November 11, 2014Hypnosis can truly change ones mind for the better because it can truly help those in reed really believe there is a change, and in reality it kind of is true. We worry too much about pain and other such things, when we can train our minds to essentially do mind over pain.

November 11, 2014Hi guys, this is a great thing you’re doing here to get the point out about hypnosis. I have been going to hypnotherapy for three months now and I’ve overcome addiction problems, anxiety and my day to day stress and I keep doing it to keep focused on my rehab. It can curb pain I bet and for me, it has curbed my problems with work and all sort of other things.

November 11, 2014Hypnosis is the real deal, yet so many still don’t believe it. Let me just say this, it has helped me overcome some of my medium knee pain. It has also helped me learn to accept who I am and what I can do with my life. Hypnosis is a powerful thing and can make life so much different. That’s a good thing for sure.

November 12, 2014The power of hypnosis is achievable if one gives it the chance. I myself was hesitant, a non believer, but when I did hypnosis for the first time, I simply let it take me over and I was able to fix many problems I never thought would ever be fixed. It works, people just need to let it take effect as I see it.

November 12, 2014A friend of mine was hypnotized a few years back because of his problems, and he completely changed and isn’t living in fear anymore. I have problems myself and I was wondering if pretty much anything can be cured in with hypnosis?
