The Transformational
Nature of Hypnotherapy - by Randal Churchill
The Subconscious is the Key
|
To get powerful, lasting and fairly rapid results in therapy, it is essential that the methods employed reach and affect the subconscious mind. The subconscious houses the emotions, imagination, memory, habits, intuition, and is the pathway to the superconscious.

It also regulates our autonomic body functions. It is the very core or essence of how we experience ourselves and the world. Meaningful personal transformation, whether in or out of therapy, results from a shift in the subconscious mind. (More...)

Direct vs Indirect Suggestion
- by Randal Churchill
Understanding the Broad Context of Suggestion
|
Virtually all writings comparing and contrasting the use of direct and indirect suggestions in hypnosis refer to the structure of language. But there is much beyond the way we word suggestions that can have a major suggestive impact. These impacts are something we need to be keenly aware of in order to give maximum benefit to the influence of suggestions. Body language, facial expressions, tone and volume of voice, gestures, timing, eye contact, |

The Future of Hypnotherapy
Interview with Kevin Ryerson - internationally acclaimed Expert Intuitive
|
KR: I think that hypnotherapy has great value in the area of certain
educational models, in reducing stress and helping people access
information that has laid dormant. I think it will also re-empower people to
work with their personal altered states, such as artists or people in
business following their intuition or creativity.

Biofeedback is a form of self-help that will probably continue to increase
and will be one of the cutting edges where hypnosis will be applied.
And as
these things move into an even more slightly esoteric or leading edge,
medicine itself will come to accept hypnotherapy as a standard method of
practice in medicine. Hypnotherapy will probably become the real bridge
between many of the wholistic art forms and alternative therapies--truly
re-empowering people to retake command of their own sense of direction
for both mental and physical well-being. (More...)
