I hope you had a great summer! Fall officially begins this Thursday. Fortunately, it still feels like summer here in Vancouver. Today’s blog has some interesting Hypnosis News, More *Everyday People Using Hypnosis for Everyday Problems* … **Sexual Desire:* The Jerusalem Post in Israel reports that hypnosis helps low libido. Sex therapist Tatyana Dyachenko says that hypnosis can “increase sexual desire, feelings and sexual reactions” as well as overcome sexual trauma for more enjoyable sex, to help to connect better with your partner, increase sensitivity and awareness of touch, and help to be more relaxed to try new experiences by reducing inhibitions. Many people have asked for help in this area. **Art Kuhns* of Paso Robles California, following his hypnosis session said: “I got out crying because 50 years of fear (of swimming) had been eliminated in a 20-minute hypnosis session”. This led Art to becoming a certified hypnotist to help people with anxiety, stress, weight loss, and to stop smoking. **Mary B. Battaglia* of Paramus, New Jersey had cancer in 50% of her body. She created a hypnosis program for herself to tolerate chemotherapy, to be relaxed during invasive tests and to create an empowered mindset to assist with her medical treatment. Within 6 months, the cancer was less than 1%. Her self-hypnosis included “focusing on what you can do,” visualizing a hand coming in and taking out the unhealthy cells, plus healing suggestions to feel relaxed, safe, and secure. I used similar methods in 1996 when I had thyroid cancer, taught to me by Dr. Carl Simonton. Remember, if you have an illness, mentally decline ownership of it. For example, never tell people about *my* cancer. Call it *that* cancer. This dissociates you from it for healing. Basically, follow your physician’s instructions and focus upon your body healing. **Elizabeth Yuko* was helped by hypnotherapist Grace Smith for general anxiety and crisis management. During hypnosis, Elizabeth pictured Julie Andrews, someone who she felt exuded calm confidence, a person who looks like she has her life together. Then, she imagined a glowing ball of yellow light between Julie Andrews hands, into which she poured every ounce of her calm confidence on her. Then she imagined swallowing the glowing ball of yellow light and calm confidence. Finally, Elizabeth imagined Julie Andrews giving her a hugging goodbye, and waving to her as she floated away leaving the feeling of calm confidence within her. Result: Elizabeth felt much more relaxed, and the next day felt much more focused on her work than usual. Note: You do not need to have a great imagination to use hypnosis, as there are many other alternative hypnosis methods which do not rely upon imagination. If you can remember what a red apple looks like with a stem and two leaves, your imagination is effective enough to use with hypnosis. **Confidence, Self-Love, Self-Esteem:* Hypnosis helps to discover the root cause of the problem that is hidden in the subconscious mind. Destructive thoughts, feelings and behavior are replaced with new healthier positive thoughts, feelings, and behavior. In addition, stress management techniques are utilized with focusing more upon actions and what you can do, rather than on what you cannot do. Add clear goals, fueled by passion, to move forward towards success. **Focusing more upon what you do want instead of what you do not want: Weight management, for example: *Hypnosis helps you to create a one-track mind to move you towards success. Choice of positive words over negative words is important. We become what we think the most about: Focus on being slimmer, healthier, more fit, a happy new self-image, greater flexibility, being lighter on your feet, hearing compliments from others, ease of movement with your joints, looking younger, enjoying more activities, and reclaiming and reusing fine boxed clothing that now fits well again. **Positron emission tomography, (PET scan)*: Medical imaging of hypnotized subjects has shown clearly *observable changes in brain functions*. **Firemen in Alsace, France Using Hypnosis: *Hypnosis is a compliment to traditional first aid. 120 French firefighters have been trained in basic medical hypnosis to calm people in accidents and other traumatic events. The firefighters speak clearly in positive words focusing upon healing and well-being, mentally distancing the victim from the situation with pleasant mental images and distraction. Yves Durrman, the fire brigade’s chief doctor, says he believes all firefighters should use hypnosis. The result is a greater feeling of calm, empathy and feeling of support for the accident victim. “Look straight in my eyes. Empty your mind. Relax, Melt Down, Soften Your Body.” When people are in shock, their mind is already focused and that can quickly turn into hypnosis and rapport with the hypnotist, regardless noise and confusion surrounding an event. *As I have stated in previous articles*, there is right now an explosion in the use of hypnosis as never seen before. Hypnosis is being used by more people and creatively in more diverse areas than anytime in history. Finally, the world is seeing the legitimacy and the power of the gift of hypnosis to benefit all of us. And this will continue to explode with more hypnotists, more hypnotherapists, more psychologists, more physicians, more nurses, more athletes, more everyday people using hypnosis and self-hypnosis.
