One natural health option for allergy relief is Hypnosis. Hypnosis is the bypass of critical factor and establishment of acceptable selective thinking. The important function of critical factor is that it operates like a filtering mechanism which compares new information coming in through the conscious level of the mind with the old beliefs and perceptions held within the subconscious mind. Through the process of hypnosis, we are able to bypass the critical factor. After we create this bypass, then the subconscious mind achieves a state of heightened suggestibility. This move toward health and wholeness can range form simple behavioral change to more functional medical problems.
Allergy is usually associated to childhood beliefs picked up as children and all these beliefs are stored in the subconscious mind. Our mind controls our brain and in turn, our brain controls our body. In order to understand hypnosis, we need to have a model of the mind to work with. In this model, there are three different levels of the mind, the unconscious, subconscious and conscious levels of the mind. The subconscious and unconscious minds are the domains of the hypnotherapies. It is through hypnosis and hypnotherapy that significant changes can be made in the content of these levels of consciousness.
The unconscious mind was first proven to exist by Dr. Ivan Pavlov. It is our body’s consciousness. It is associated with the Autonomic Nervous System.
In the field of psychology, it is well accepted that the existence of the subconscious mind was proven by Dr Sigmund Freud. The subconscious mind is who you really are. It is the sum of all your experiences. Our conscious mind is effectively our point of focus. It tends to focus on what is happening now but can be easily refocused on the past and our imagined future.
It is important to remember that hypnosis does not cause someone to lose consciousness. Hypnosis is not a state of unconsciousness but rather a state of focused consciousness. Basic hypnotherapeutic techniques include procedures such as hypnotic inductions, deepening techniques, direct suggestion and visualization techniques. Advanced techniques include powerful and life changing techniques such as age regression, forgiveness therapies and parts therapies.
