The Science Behind Hypnosis

.

.

Hypnotherapy is a unique method for increasing your happiness in life, reducing your stress levels, and generating personal motivation. The science behind hypnosis is founded on key discoveries in neurobehaviour and learning, which enable a more scientific understanding of the mind. There is an abundance of scientific proof that hypnosis works, meaning that any time you do an experiment you will get the same result.

1. Neurolinguistics

translation: brain-language
Our brains respond subconsciously, and very powerfully, to certain words that have personal symbolic meaning to us. If we know what words to use, we can use neurolinguistics to program a desired behaviour.

2. Neuroplasticity

translation: intelligent learning

Neural networks in the brain are not "hard wired", they can change. A negative self belief or an unhealthy habit can be replace by a positive self belief or healthy habit, through specialised practice.

3. Frequency-Following Response (FFR)

translation: literal

In certain situations where an FFR can be created, the synapse firing rate in the brain "follows" the frequency that we hear or feel. The brain synchronises its firing rate with that frequency, and thus can be led to fire at a desired frequency.

4. Psychoneuroimmunology

translation: mind, nervous system, and immune system are connected

Thoughts and emotions have a measurable effect on the function of the nervous system, the immune system, and physical well being. When we control our thoughts and beliefs through hypnosis we can accelerate healing.
