The body is designed to heal itself. any pain or stress experienced has the ability to get cured naturally either by time or the external help.

Although this complicated process does work automatically, it can be accelerated and enhanced by hypnotic techniques.

hypnosis is carried out by directing the subconscious mind to focus energy on a specific system in the body.

let us take the example of body burns

If you were burned, your body will naturally begin the healing process which may take a week to complete. If you were to employ hypnosis to quicken this process, you may complete the healing in half the time.

the success rate of hypnosis also depends on several factors including:

client's susceptibility and willingness to use this approach.

the skill of the hypnotherapist.

One of the major use of hypnosis is to minimize or eliminate pain.

An important caution is that if you do not know what is causing the pain, hypnosis may effectively remove the pain but, it may also cover up something serious that requires attention that could be any other systemic disorder which might go unnoticed during hypnosis.

But if you know what is causing the pain, then it is safe to apply it to decrease the experience of pain and help with the general recovery.

The fact is that most pain is "in your head" that means that it is possible to turn off the pain signals in the mind and minimize the sensation of pain. This can be accomplished in many ways using hypnosis.

the same concept can be applied for stress relief.

stress is only present in the head. thinking a lot. worrying about unnecessary things causes stress which could be healed by hypnotherapy.
