Children are in a constant state of hypnosis. Children live in their imaginations. As they play and dream they become pilots, dentists, firemen, astronauts, mothers: their worlds are unlimited and very real. Vivid imaginations and mental pictures make them ideal subjects for hypnosis, provided they are old enough to maintain an attention span. Most children I work with are six years and older. Many inhibitions, which later affect adults, will not have yet developed in children. They are open and moldable. Because of their ability to visualize and be creative the use of hypnotherapy can train their minds to focus and to feel calm in all environments. This is why hypnotherapy is so effective for children with ADHD. Children often enter hypnosis readily without outside influence. Imaginative play, fantasies, daydream, even punishments may involve automatic hypnosis. Strong criticism by parents or teachers can produce imprints in a child’s mind that will create low self-esteem. Using hypnosis we can also help a child to feel better about themselves.

The Signs of ADHD
There are three major signs of ADHD (Attention Deficit Hyperactivity Disorder):
Distractibility - Inability to focus on one thing at a time, such as reading, listening to an instructor, playing a game, or doing any activity for long periods of time. Becoming distracted by noises, movement, smells, or their own thoughts.
Hyperactivity - Marked by an excess of energy - talking non-stop, consistently moving, unable to sit still, sleeping only for short periods of time.
Impulsivity - Acting without thinking, for example; running out in the street after a ball, knocking over a plant while running across the room or forgetting books on the way to school.

To attain the best results possible with any ADHD treatment, some naturopaths recommend that the listener take daily supplements including: Omega 3 essential fatty acids, Zinc, Evening Primrose Oil, DMAE (highly recommended), Vitamin B6, Vitamin B3, Vitamin C and Gingko Biloba.

In addition to supplements, we highly suggest restructuring the diet to remove sodas, anything with caffeine or high sugar content, and foods with high phosphate content (ham, bacon, wheat bread, milk, etc).

Please remember to consult a physician or naturopath before taking supplements. They can direct you with the proper dosages.

These are just a few ways of naturally helping an individual with ADHD. There are many books out their that provide teachers, parents and individuals’ different techniques that can assist with the treatment of ADHD. Two books that I would suggest are “The Indigo Child” and “Left Brained Children in a Right Brained World”

It is important to remember that hypnosis is not a substitution for medical treatment but a path that can help an individual to find more natural ways to healing.

How hypnosis can help you reduce or cure fears and phobias

Hypnosis is very useful in the treatment of fears and phobias. Hypnosis is perfectly natural and allows you to experience deep physical and mental relaxation. Daydreaming is very similar to hypnosis in that it is a mild hypnotic state. With hypnosis you are always in control, you remember everything that happened and you can come out of a hypnotic state at any time.

1) Hypnosis provides deep relaxation which is proven to lower your blood pressure with will also reduce any tension in the muscles and brain.

2) Hypnosis can reduce the amount of hormones that cause stress which will help your body return to its perfect state.

3) Relief from phobias is possible by changing the way you react at a subconscious level.

Why thinking about the problem usually does not work.

The unconscious mind is keeps your body working without intervention. It controls things like heart rate, breathing, and hunger without any help from your conscious mind. If you touch something that is hot, your hand automatically pulls away without even thinking about it, that is your unconscious mind in action. Hypnosis bypasses the conscious mind to provide you with an amazing way to change your behaviors, fears and phobias.

Hypnosis is effective in treating phobias and fears because it reprograms your subconscious mind to behave differently. Under hypnosis you are in a state where your subconscious mind is in control. The rational or conscious mind is set aside and you are able to absorb new information without thinking about it.

Phobias are an automatic response to something happening going on inside or outside yourself. All fears and phobias are learned behaviors except the two you were born with (fear of loud noises and fear of falling). Hypnosis can help you cure or reduce the amount of pain or stress you suffer from any fear or phobia.

Hypnosis will allow you to train your mind to react differently in response to your fears. Soon you will laugh at how silly those fears were.

Did you know that we all have the ability to enhance self-healing, increase comfort and improve nutrition, exercise, communication and flexibility? This article explains clinical hypnosis and how it can bring relief to clients suffering from arthritis. Hypnosis is easy to learn, you can do it on your own and it empowers you to take an active role in your healthy well-being.

The subconscious mind has many jobs. It quietly and effectively regulates our bodily functions and stores all of our values, beliefs and memories. It also balances our blood pressure, heart rate and co-ordinates each step we take everyday of our life. The negative effects of arthritis extend into many areas of a client s life, as does the positive resolve and relief of hypnosis. Hypnotherapy is the simple process of accessing and directing the subconscious mind to support certain positive changes. It is the language of the mind, it access the most powerful level of awareness and down loads new applications of freedom and relief.

Osteoarthritis is the most common type of arthritis. It causes a deterioration of the protective lining of cartilage in our joints. This deterioration occurs due to a breakdown of the chondrocytes that form cartilage. Osteoarthritis affects men and women equally. Most people over 30 years of age have some features of early osteoarthritis. The degree of limitation depends on the location of the inflammation. The major areas of concern are hips, knees and spine. The development of osteoarthritis may be related to trauma, aging or heredity.

The symptoms of stress play a big role in exacerbating the situation. Communication with family and friends plays a key role in managing stress and hypnosis makes this a lot easier. Suggestions offered to a client during a hypnosis session encourage them to share what s on their mind enabling them to offload concern and frustration, giving them more time doing things they enjoy.

It takes energy to deal with any physical or emotional burden. Hypnosis creates ideal sedation allowing for sound sleep. We all follow the path of our most dominant thoughts and if the last thoughts a client has at bedtime involve deep restful sleep, they are in a much better position to recharge their body and mind for tomorrow s challenges.

For those suffering with arthritis it s often difficult just keeping up with the fast pace of day-to-day life. Hypnosis helps individuals adjust to a more appropriate pace and also to release the frustrations and anxiety associated with any limitation. Clients who routinely relax with hypnosis are more centered, balanced and less affected by things they can not control.

Increasing muscle tone reduces stress to affected joints, which increases mobility and comfort. Low impact activities like swimming; walking and range of motion exercises are commonly recommended to clients with arthritis. With hypnosis it s easier to integrate new regimes and to establish positive subconscious connections between healthy activity and improved mobility, comfort and freedom.

The more protection in your joints, the more comfort and mobility you create. Since the subconscious controls the multitude of our bodily function, hypnosis can direct it to increase the production of chondrocytes, which increases the growth of healthy new cartilage. Pain is often the biggest issue with arthritis. Some pain, however, is necessary; it acts as a warning system telling us that something isn t right. The responsible approach with hypnosis is to only reduce unnecessary pain, leaving intact the body s ability to signal us and protect us from further complications.

Hypnosis can also be used to regulate the flow and distribution of endorphins, which are the feel good chemicals the body uses to create comfort and relaxation. Using hypnosis to regulate endorphin production plays a big role in putting the client in control. Hypnosis can also alter the perception of where the pain is located. By redirecting sensitivity away from key areas such as hips, knees and vertebrae to a less critical part of the anatomy like a finger tip, the client has much more control.

The same approach can be used to attach a different quality to pain. A sharp pain can be perceived as dull; burning pain can be perceived as cool. Involving other senses is one of the distinct advantages hypnosis offers in managing the symptoms of arthritis. Another technique involves using one color to represent pain and another to represent comfort, and then blending the two offering instant relief.

Lastly, by attaching a number value to pain creates the option of change. By imagining a yardstick during hypnosis a client can pick the number that best reflects their current level of pain, and then they are directed to different numbers which changes their perceived level of discomfort.

With hypnosis arthritis sufferers gain a distinct advantage in managing and even reversing the limitations of arthritis. Hypnosis is simple, empowering and extremely effective. A few sessions with a hypnotherapist gets you started and with a little practice you begin to effect healthy positive changes in your life. We all have remarkable self-healing abilities and hypnosis is an excellent way to jumpstart a return to a healthier more active life.
