Hypnosis Allows one to Cement One's Resolve to Change

Whenever someone wants to accomplish something and struggles to do so, there is perhaps an emotional barrier between that resolve and the decision to accomplish a worthwhile goal they have chosen.  The decision typically has been made by an individual to bring about the execution of that task; however, the continuity of behavioral follow-through may wane.  Concentration, the cornerstone of hypnosis, is best achieved when one is relaxed.  The concentrated effort to resolve an issue that one has is tantamount to hypnosis. The decision to change that issue for the better is magnified in the hypnosis session and the sustained focus to harness a new set of decision- and behavior-patterns throughout the day is enhanced.  Thus, one is empowered in the hypnotic process with regard to the goal of changing one's life, which is nothing more than the composite of thoughts and behaviors one experiences.

The Dallas Hypnosis Convention--Afterthoughts

The Dallas Hypnosis Convention was a three-day-information-center of presentations provided by a diverse range of practitioners of hypnosis. I am booked for next year's Hypnosis Convention and would encourage anyone who is in the beginning, middle, and advanced stages of hypnotic practice to put this convention on your yearly calendar as it provides techniques, attitudes, and insights you won't get in many other places. Scott Sandland presented a variety of techniques used in pain management for patients in varieties of settings ranging from dental clinics to alcohol and other drug rehabilitation treatment centers. William Mitchell was informative and breaks up his presentation with humorous comments. I missed John Cerbone who probably talked about speed-trance but I'm not sure; I spent a couple days last year in a presentation on speed-trance with him and Richard Nongard. By the way, Richard Nongard's talk about the future of hypnosis was inspiring and exciting. I spoke about the integration of rhythmic breathing, progressive muscle relaxation, and guided imagery in the use of hypnosis. I missed the third day there, which was unfortunate, but had obligations in San Antonio waiting for me.
