Hypnosis is a process that assists in strengthening parasympathetic responses, allowing the mind, body and spirit to align. The first step in this process is often associated with deep relaxation. For instance, general relaxation/stress relief is often accomplished in lighter states of hypnosis, while behavior modification, accelerated learning are in medium levels. Certain medical applications are done in the deep somnambulistic state, that would include hypnotic anesthesia. Well-designed hypnotherapy protocols have been carefully researched and shown to be a highly beneficial adjunct support for empowering wellness and increasing self-regulation.
