Hypnosis Pain Management

By: Alan B. Densky, CH

The adage "no pain, no gain" just is not true. Reflect on all of the times pain has hindered you from engaging in activities that you enjoy - perhaps playing tennis, running, fishing and even sitting can be unbearable when you are in great discomfort. Have you gained anything from missing out on memories?

However, the saying that "Pain is all in your head" can, often, be true. If that is the case, then the cure is all in your head, also. With self hypnosis, pain can completely disappear. Despite what you may think, hypnosis is simply a mental state where messages can reach the unconscious mind more easily. The state of hypnosis is characterized by deep relaxation. In fact, with regular practice of a self-hypnosis pain elimination regimen, you will feel much more peaceful over all.

Pain indicates that something in your body is amiss. So pain is technically a good thing. But after you have your doctor give you a check up to make sure that the pain is not indicating a dangerous condition such as a tumor, it's time to manage or even eliminate the pain.

There is no danger in a hypnosis pain relief program. You can't "get stuck" in a hypnotic state. The worst that might happen when you use self-hypnosis for pain control is that you might fall into a natural state of sleep for a half hour- think of all of the times that discomfort has prevented you from getting sleep!

This is not to say that a hypnosis pain management system is the same as sleep, because that is the biggest misconception about hypnosis. If you are asleep, you're unconscious. If you are unconscious, then you can't hear anything. If you can't hear anything, then a hypnotherapist can't assist you. Hypnosis is actually a state of keen awareness.

Despite being consciously aware of everything, hypnosis pain management programs can help both physical and mental causes and lead to many effective avenues to eradicate pain. Drugs just block the reception of the physical symptoms of pain briefly, but hypnosis pain regimens can actually decrease the amount and strength of pain signals that you sense. You can literally reprogram your body to send less pain-inducing chemicals to your receptors. This means that you can use fewer pain killing medications, or frequently no prescriptions at all.

Endorphins are opiate-like substances that are created in the brain. They are the compounds that cause athletes to have a high when they workout intensely. Using self-hypnosis, you can also discover how to program your brain to generate pain-relieving endorphins on demand and then send them to the painful part of your body where they are required.

Because of endorphins, the brain is capable of inducing analgesia, which is a mild anesthesia, as well as full anesthesia (numbness). Medical journals are full of reports both in pre-anesthesia days, as well as in modern times, when major surgery has been done under hypnoanesthesia.

Hypnosis can also be used to program the mind to focus your attention away from pain, which will make you perceive far less discomfort. Additionally, hypnosis hypnosis pain management recordings can help our mind realize and comprehend that the pain is present, but not to let us feel it. A qualified hypnosis pain relief professional will know how to fully address other hypnotic suggestions that will aid in your recovery.

A very effective hypnosis pain remedy comes from Neuro-Linguistic Programming, or NLP. No doubt that after living with chronic pain, you may be doubtful that a hypnosis pain program will get the job done. In many cases, NLP methods actually work far better for modern thinkers than traditional hypnosis does because it was developed for people like you who are conditioned to question and analyze everything. When we analyze, we tend to construct barriers to the acceptance of post-hypnotic suggestions.

Tense feelings always make us perceive far more pain than we are actually experiencing. One of the most powerful NLP patterns for eliminating stress is known as the "Flash." This methodology reprograms the mind to use mental images that create stress to actually trigger thoughts that cause feelings of relaxation in their place. After you've used this technique, it will be impossible, or at least very difficult to think the thoughts that distress you, because your mind will immediately and automatically exchange them in a Flash for thoughts that relax you instead.

Self hypnosis and pain relief go hand in hand. If you are tired of coping with prescriptions that leave you in no condition to drive or to fully experie life, or worse, of living with the throbbing, stabbing or shooting pulsations of discomfort, a hypnosis pain elimination program can give safe, natural and instantaneous relief.
