Hypnosis: Arthritis Pain Relief
If you suffer with arthritis, you might be wondering how hypnosis can be used for pain relief. Arthritis pain relief is much the same as any other using hypnosis, but focused on diminishing the long-term pain arthritis causes.
You can use your mind for pain relief.
Hypnosis can help you achieve relief from arthritis pain by teaching you how to use your mind to lower the amount of pain you perceive. Think about it - if someone can undergo a surgical operation under hypnosis, isn't it likely that you could get relief from arthritis pain, too?
How does hypnosis reduce pain?
Studies have shown that when hypnosis is used for anesthesia - that is, total removal of pain, the pain signals are still generated at the nerve endings, but they are not "acted upon" by the brain. Or in other words, the brain simply ignores the pain signals.
Hypnosis can create arthritis pain relief through a variety of methods such as metaphor, scaling and dissociation. My hypnosis session will help you train your mind so that you are able to switch on your pain relief skills at will.
Brainwave Entrainment tones are mixed into the recording to allow for an even deeper relaxation.

The Most Valuable Contributor to Success: YOU!
It is important to recognize the significance of the role you play in accomplishing your goals. Hypnosis is neither procedure nor prescription that is done to you. In fact, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis in that you are an active participant in the process. The hypnotherapist should be viewed as a catalyst or guide. You are an integral part in reinforcing positive messages and fulfilling goals through your actions.
Success in attaining your goals depends on you. Success in hypnosis works similarly to success in looking after your health. For instance, if a doctor prescribes blood pressure medication to a patient, that medication will work best only if the patient takes the pill as prescribed, quits smoking, reduces stress, and eats a low sodium diet. Otherwise, the blood pressure medication is ?swimming against the tide? so to speak with not much of a chance. It is like this when using hypnosis. Success depends on many variables including personal attitude, motivation, cooperation, and follow through with reinforcing practices.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a technique used to induce a heightened awareness and ability to focus in the subconscious mind. The hypnotic state can occur naturally in our everyday lives. For instance, if you've ever found yourself so engrossed in a book that you stopped noticing what was happening around you, then you've experienced a mild hypnotic state. Your awareness and focus were turned inward, toward your book. Hypnosis induced with the guidance of a professional can help you attain even deeper awareness and focus toward the messages of your choosing. Of course, the goal in hypnosis is to focus on positive messages that are goal-oriented and solution-based.
Who can be hypnotized?
Most people can be hypnotized to varying degrees. A deeper hypnotic state may be achieved with practice. But, great work can be accomplished even in a light hypnotic state. Anyone with a desire and a willingness to concentrate can experience hypnosis.
What age range is appropriate for hypnosis?
Persons 7 years and older.
Will I be asleep?
No. During a hypnosis session, you will be aware of what's happening. Actually, your senses may be even more acute than usual.
Will I lose control?
No. Your awareness is heightened during a hypnosis session so that you stay focused on your goals. So, hypnosis actually helps you gain control. No one has control over anyone's thoughts and behavior besides his or her own.
What does it feel like to be hypnotized?
Each person's experience is unique, but many report feeling very relaxed and comfortable. Most people report being able to hear and recall the entire session.
Could I get stuck in hypnosis?
No. No one is able to remain in a hypnotic state indefinitely. You would naturally either fall asleep or come back into your conscious waking state.
What if I have medical problems?
Hypnosis is often used to help with the healing process and/or pain management.
What is hypnosis?
All hypnosis is really self-hypnosis in that it is your mind doing all the work. The practitioner is a catalyst or guide. Homework after a session will involve the practice of self-hypnosis to reinforce progress toward goals.
