Mind-body hypnotic imagery in the treatment of auto-immune disorders.
For many years Western Medicine has considered the immune system to be separate and independent from the central nervous system. However, significant scientific advances and research discoveries that occurred during the past 50 years have presented additional facts that the immune system does interact with the central nervous system with mutual influence. This article provides a systematic review of the literature on the connection between the brain and the immune system and its clinical implications. It then provides a rational foundation for the role of using hypnosis and imagery to therapeutically influence the immune system. Five case examples are provided with illustrated instructions for clinicians on how hypnosis and imagery may be utilized in the treatment of patients with auto-immune disorders. Suggestions for future research in this field are included.

In fact, in each and every one of us have inside us a genius and a hero waiting to come out.
The topic of bullying continues to be in the limelight. Just about everyone wants to show compassion for the victim and feels like the perpetrator needs to experience some sort of retribution. We see this not only in the popular media but also on videos like the one above. Very little is mentioned, however, about the long-term consequences of being bullied. It seems like most of the reactions whether sanctioned or not seem to revolve around punishing the bully and...
