Ericksonian Hypnosis For Hypnotherapists -- Accessing Unconscious
An extended nondrug MDMA-like experience evoked through posthypnotic suggestion.
This research explored whether hypnotic suggestion could produce a subjective mindbody condition similar to that produced by the psychoactive drug methylenedioxy methamphetamine (MDMA, Ecstasy). Twelve participants received posthypnotic instructions to re-experience an MDMA-like state posthypnotically, similar to one in their prior experience, for one hour. Three separate self report measures and qualitative self reports showed that the posthypnotic condition effectively mimicked an MDMA-like experience, lasting an hour at a stable level. Participant ratings in real time and in retrospect ranged from 36% to 100% similarity to a drug-induced experience. The qualitative reports and rating scales enabled a phenomenological description of the subjective experience. Scores on the Tellegen Absorption Scale correlated significantly with the strength of the posthypnotic condition (Spearman rho .87, p = .0003). The participants successfully carried out various intentional activities during this time (e.g., self reflection, talking with partners about relationships, artwork, walking in nature). Applications for this technique as an adjunct to therapy and health treatments are discussed.

Most people immediately think of hypnosis as being something involving a stage show. They think of people quacking like a duck or heating and onion or lemon and believing that it is something sweet. However, hypnosis is actually much more than that. When used by a qualified and talented hypnotherapist it can be used for a wide range of mental health, medical, and performance-oriented applications. Therefore, the primary uses of hypnosis are healing the body, healing the mind, and self-actualization.
Medical applications of hypnosis include stress management and the direct influence of...
Brain entrainment is not a new phenomenon. For thousands of years humans have used the flickering lights of fires, the beating of drums and whirling, changing objects to help induce a trance state. But with the advent of audio technology, science has sought to mimic the environmentally triggered brain entrainment with carefully designed tones and flickering lights. From the Dreammachine (a sound and light machine developed in the 1970’s and embraced by artists to help them achieve altered states) and the discover of binaural beats in that same decade, to the sophisticated technology of the...
