What are the benefits of hypnosis: for the individual, the family and society as a whole? And how can you make hypnosis work for you?

Apart from providing a new and fascinating experience, what can we gain from hypnosis?

These are some of the questions that arise in the mind of a novice when entering the exciting world of hypnosis and hypnotherapy.

The answer is simple and direct:

Hypnosis can be put to use to improve general well-being and functioning so that one feels better both physically and mentally.

Some of the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis (from the subject to the hypnotherapist) are:

  • What can hypnosis do to me?
  • When I’m in a trance, can you make me do silly things, like bark like a dog or cry like a baby?
  • Can you make me do something against my will, like steal from someone or kiss a stranger?
  • Will I reveal my innermost secrets that I have never revealed to anyone before?
  • Will I get stuck in one position and never come out of it?
  • Could I harm myself or someone else during the trance?

All of these doubts are based on the individual’s basic distrust of hypnosis and the prevailing myths about hypnosis.

Make hypnosis work for you

The fact is that during the hypnotic trance, no one can make you act against your own moral and social values ​​and acceptable behavior patterns. I mean, unless you want to, you can’t be manipulated against your will!

It is important to understand that even during deep trance, you remain aware and under control. The hypnotist only makes you act according to the dictates of your own conscious and subconscious. You can end the trance state at any time you want.

Even if the hypnotist or a hypnotic tape leaves you in a trance state, you will either return to normal waking state on your own or enter a natural sleep and wake up feeling refreshed and energetic. In the centuries-old history of hypnosis there has never been an incident where an individual was ‘under hypnosis’ for an extended period of time.

Now that you know that hypnosis is a safe tool, let’s explore the most beneficial ways in which it can be used positively.

The benefits of hypnosis can be categorized under the following headings:

  • Create a sense of general well-being
  • Reduce stress and anxiety
  • Reduce pain associated with disease or surgical procedures
  • Produce anesthesia through suggestion.
  • Control or cure psychosomatic illnesses
  • Control physical functions such as heart rate, increased sweating or bleeding
  • Increases mental powers: memory, confidence, learning ability and concentration.
  • Get rid of phobias and unwanted negative feelings.
  • Get rid of bad and unhealthy habits: bulimia, anorexia nervosa, smoking, personality traits, etc.

In addition to these, many avenues for the use of hypnosis in medicine are also being explored.

Simply put, if we use hypnosis correctly, its benefits are astronomical for society in general and the individual in particular.
