Nutmeg “Nuggets” Hypnosis for What Hurts


your body? Or that hypnosis is used as an anesthetic to perform surgery? In Europe, and more so now in the States, thousands of surgeries are performed using hypno-sedation instead of general anesthesia! If your mind can do that, it can certainly help you man-

age your day-to-day pain. Here’s another fun fact, a lot of body pain comes from pain at the mental/emotional levels, which is why peo- ple suffering with depression and anxiety experience more physical pain than those who don’t. Hypnosis can help with that too.


The applications of medical hypnosis for pain management are virtually limitless. If you suffer from any of the following, hypnosis may be just the thing for you: Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Migraines, Fibromyalgia or Chronic Fatigue, Asthma, Arthritis, Crohn's Disease, or post-surgical pain.


Hypnosis works for what hurts – but how? To be honest, we


don’t yet know all the details of exactly how it works because the brain is an incredibly complex organ - but here’s what we do know. Our minds process information in two directions, from the bottom up and from the top down. A bottom up fl ow takes raw sensory data (information from our 5 senses) and carries it up to higher process- ing regions in the brain, each region adding more and more detail to what we perceive.


Top down processing is the opposite. What we experience


comes down from the higher processing regions, instead of up from our fi ve senses. Top down processing means that if the top is con- vinced, the bottom level sensory data will be overruled. This helps explain the power of hypnosis because hypnosis directly accesses the higher processing regions in the brain – providing positive sug- gestions for comfort to those areas. If the client allows these positive suggestions in, then those positive suggestions will override the pain information that would normally come up from the senses.


For example, in one experiment hypnotized subjects had their hands immersed in “painfully hot” water but were told it was com- fortably warm. When PET (positron emission tomography) studies were done, they showed that hypnosis not only altered their percep- tion of the pain, but it literally altered blood fl ow to the pain sensing parts of the brain.


I’ve personally experienced surgery with and without hypnosis


and much prefer the former. I’m also blessed to watch people reclaim the power that pain has been stealing from them. The power of our minds is truly unlimited.


“20 controlled studies found that patients who received


hypnosis before or during surgery fared better than 89% of patients in control groups.” Source: Anesthesia & Analgesia
