Hypnotherapy & Healing



The Key Questions:

1: Can our emotions create actual

physiological change and disease?

2: And if so, by which means or

mechanism might we be able to

restore health / balance to our body?





Emotions = Reaction

Stress or anxiety – (Shortness of breath, heartpalpitation, dizziness)

Intense Fear & Anger – (Frequent urination or diarrhea, sweating, tremors and twitches)

Sadness & Hopelessness – (Fatigue, Insomnia)

Guilt, Shame & Embarrassment – (stomachupset, nausea, blushing, hot flashes)

How Life Events can Affect You?





Stomach and digestion are your physical assimilationprocess. Digestive problems occur when you have aninability to 'digest' or absorb what is going on in your environment or inside your head or heart.

Chronic pain: Resentment and bitterness cause inflammationand pain. Stubborn, inflexible resentment goes to the knees and

joints--the parts of your body designed to be flexible. Arthritis isbottled-up hurt.

Cancer is a deep secret, hatred, guilt, or grief 'eating away' atyou. Breast and uterine cancer reveals a lack of nurturing or self-nurturing in your life, or an inability to nurture others.

(Excerpt from Louis Hey – Heal Your Body) www.AvinoamLerner.com


Hearing Your Body's Message



The Science of PsychoNeuroImmunology (PNI)

The term Psychoneuroimmunology (PNI) wascoined by Dr. Robert Ader in 1975.

PNI is the study of the interaction betweenpsychological processes (primarily stress) and thenervous and immune systems of the human body.

PNI = Mind-Body Medicine is an approach to healingthat harnesses the power of thoughts, beliefs, andemotions to affect health positively (Cassileth 1998)





The Problem with the PNI Approach to Illness

PNI or Mind-body approach may unintentionally

create the notion that people are responsible for their

illnesses because they lack the proper mental

attitude; aside from being scientifically inaccurate,such blame can induce feelings of distress and guilt

(Castleman 1996).

Moreover, if this is so, then they should easily beable to change this negative behavior.





Bridging Science & Healing

Introducing

“Immersive – Healing”

An advanced Mind-Body modelto healing chronic Illness and cancer,

rooted in Immunotherapeutic approach.





What is Immunotherapy ?

Immunotherapy is a therapy designed to stimulates,

and/or restores the immune-system in people

affected by disease through either conventionaltreatments and/or integrative health care therapies.

- Lise Alschuler, ND, & Karolyn Gazella, The Definitive Guide to Cancer





The 3 Premises to Immunotherapeutic Approach

Premise # 1:

The body’s natural immune-system is

designed to defend against all illnesses,

cancer and chronic illness included.

Natural killer cells (or NK cells) are a type of cells that constitutea major component of the innate immune system.






Premise # 2:

Harmful states of mind (primarily stress, anger,

hopelessness, terror, grief over depravation,guilt, shame, etc’) have shown to effect andsuppress the immune system.

Negative emotions, such as anger and cynical hostility, have alsobeen shown to decrease Natural killer cells (or NK cells) activity(Miller et al. 1999) (williams & schneiderman, 2002)






Premise # 3:

If these harmful states of mind can be

resolved and cleansed, the immuneresponse can be revived and cancer prevented or healed.

(Kiecolt-Glaser and Glaser 1999)

( HOW BIG IS YOUR SACK OF EMOTIONAL PAIN?)





Where Does Healing Takes Place?

The Human Mind: a mechanism whose parts are

split mostly between two agencies; the conscious

and subconscious minds.

The Subconscious Mind: The single most powerful

goal achieving agency known to man.

The subconscious is the level at which all running

programs of individual nature are accessible for

How Immersive-Healing Differ from Psychotherapy?

Conscious VS Subconscious

External VS Internal

Intellectual VS Experiential

Incubating VS Immediate





The Placebo Effect – Our Ally

The Placebo effect is the tendency of any treatment,even an inert or ineffective one, to exhibit results simplybecause the recipient believes that it will work.

The Nocebo effect is the causation of sickness (or death)by expectations of sickness (or death) and by associatedemotional states.

The pivotal understanding in mind-body healing is thatyou must actually believe enough in the possibility of healing to tell yourself so with conviction.





Harnessing the Power of the Placebo Effect

Hypnosis is a heightened state of belief. Hypnosis isthe intentional activation of the placebo effect.

This means bypassing your "critical faculty", theconscious mind, and painting a healing picture inyour subconscious-mind.

Your subconscious-mind will transmit the imaginedoutcome via your nervous system to your bodywhich will manifest it in conformance with your thinking.





Concluding Remarks

The PNI is a Mind-Body approach which is a truly holistic.

Immersive-Healing is an advanced Mind-Body approachto healing cancer and chronic illness, rooted in PNI. It canbe practiced in conjunction with conventional medicaltreatment.

Talk to your medical practitioner about PNI. Tell them it is

primarily about maintaining a healthy lifestyle and healinginternal emotional turmoil and conflict such as guilt,shame, fear, depravation and stress.
