Effects of weight-related literal and metaphorical suggestions about the forearms during hypnosis
During hypnosis, the authors tested repeated weight-related, literal and metaphorical suggestions about the heaviness of the subjects' arms. The purpose was to determine if linguistically varied hypnotic suggestions produced significantly different motor reactions--involuntary pressure forces of the forearms--as assessed by a linguistic biomechanical system. Classic, literal (L) suggestions such as "your right arm is heavy" were used, as well as metaphorical (M) suggestions, such as "your right arm is made of lead." A specific effect on the progressive increase of pressure forces only in the temporal sequence L-M for each forearm (literal suggestions followed by metaphorical suggestions) was found. This effect, termed crescendo image metaphor effect, conceptualized within context-limited simulation theory, explains the findings.

The immune system is essentially one that identifies pathogens, which is an infectious agent (also known as germs), and reacts accordingly to eliminate the threat. The ability for the various immune system components, such...
For several years I worked as a Certified Financial Planner for a major New York City-based corporation. When I worked with individuals, couples, and families, I was impressed by the fact that they most definitely had goals and desires. But despite their financial resources, many of them couldn’t seem to achieve the financial discipline to reach their objectives. Even when I laid out a clear plan for them, they had a difficulty following the plan.
If a person’s ability to meet their obligations is suddenly upset by medical or employment issues, the best plans may not work. Let’s...
Reading comprehension involves a person’s ability to rapidly translate perceptions in to the how and why of meaning. It also refers to their ability to recall information when needed. Hypnosis can help a person significantly improve in both areas.
One of the main obstacles to comprehension – and reading speed as well – is a person’s stress level. In order to comprehend fully, the associated areas of the brain must be activated. However, during a high stress period, this is difficult as problem solving and survival-related areas of the brain are rightfully considered more important. By...
