Austrian doctor Franz Anton Mesmer, pioneer of mesmerism or hypnotherapy, was a stage hypnotist. Initially, he used hypnosis just to perform some peculiar antics. Gradually he understood the power of subconscious and opened several health clinics in France. His popularity and success generated jealousy and strong protest from the conventional healing community. Finally, he was investigated by French Royal Commission and declared a fake. Today, hypnotherapy has evolved and accepted as a complementary healing method. It is used in several alternative as well as conventional medical environments. Hypnotherapy is used in combination with acupuncture, massage, psychotherapy, and nursing. Hypnotherapy works on the power of subconscious. It produces results by tapping into subconscious mind and programming it for desired results. Health benefits can be achieved quickly by inducing the hypnotic trance. Hypnotic trance is a deep sate of relaxation, but it is a wakeful state of mind and heightened state of awareness. Various methods are used to induce trance like awareness. During such trance subconscious mind is more receptive to suggestions. Conscious mind and subconscious minds are connected and at this point suggestions are implanted into the subconscious. Hypnosis uses various methods to programme your subconscious. Some of them are affirmations, visualizations, guided imagery etc. Hypnotic state of mind can be induced only if the client is willing. Client's participation is a must. Beneficial results of hypnosis have been experienced in treating stress, anxiety, insomnia, tension and headaches. Hypnosis can be used with weight control programs, de-addiction programs and pain management. Hypnosis is effective for self development and personal development, also. Some strong points about hypnotherapy are: it is effective without any suffering or side effects. It is not invasive or addictive. It generates permanent, long term results and life changes.
