Well, I certainly believe it is real. Otherwise, a lot of people have spent a whole lot of money in training for nothing. But, my opinion does not prove or disprove the question, "Is hypnosis real?". Scientific studies used to have to rely upon what clients of hypnotists had to say about their experiences, making the studies far from objective. Not a real reliable way of gathering and reporting scientific data if you ask me. But, lo and behold, phenomenal advances in technology now make use of objective methodologies to seek answers regarding hypnosis research. The use of brain scans plays a major part in studying how hypnosis affects and effects brain activity, this is also known as neuroimaging. These studies are of great importance. They have basically provided the evidence that the hypnotized subjects' reported effects of hypnosis, subjective, are now objectively verifiable, and the answer is an undeniable, YES...hypnosis is real. Neuroimaging (brain scanning) has been used to study the effects of hypnosis in 3 main categories of experiments as follows:
There was major differences when in the activity of the brain between non-hypnosis and under hypnosis. The diagram below shows the brain activity and how the brain is affected by hypnosis. The experiment is known as the "Paralyzed Hand" and the details are within the diagram itself. The studying of the effects of hypnosis on the brain is in its infancy stage no doubt. But, based on neuroimaging diagram below, we have a ways to go to show to the naysayers that hypnosis is in fact real. Until then, I'll just keep helping people get rid of unwanted behaviours, habits, thoughts, etcetera. To me, hypnosis is as real as the Pope is a Catholic.

Welcome to Lakes Region Hypnosis Center's information sharing blogAuthorRich Burke I would like to begin my blogging career (sounds funny for a 60-something to be saying) by just introducing myself and some of the services we provide. My goal is to introduce you all to me and the wonderful worlds of hypnosis and other alternative, less expensive (in the long run) healing modalities we provide and clearly work. My intention is to also educate the public through my blogging.
I am a 67 year old who refuses to retire. I have worn many hats in my many careers, one could say it took me a long time to discover what I wanted to be or do when I grew up. I will say it did take me a while though. I've been part of management team where I was responsible for a multi-million dollar communication budget in a large financial institution. I left the corporate world as a thirty something and became a healthcare worker in a county nursing home. This was a very rewarding vocation by the way, but the greedy corporate world began sticking their fingers in the proverbial pot and infesting that career with their greed and gluttony. But, that's a whole different blogging path for the politically inclined, and does not belong here. I finished my career as a political action coordinator for a national public employee union and was forced out to pasture. Yes folks, even the unions have their dark side. But, I've always wanted to help others along the way, a healer so to speak. Whether a human client or a pet client (Animal Reiki attuned), I have always been driven to open up my heart, mind and arms to those who need some assistance along the way. I began seeking a healing path for myself and something to provide comfort to others. I entered my chrysalis stage, my transition to the more spiritual path, that of a provider of proven alternative healing modalities. I became a Reiki Master/Teacher, actually being attuned through a local Reiki Master from Gilmanton and another from the West Coast. and still felt there there was more. I began various training along the way, as a physical medium, a crystal worker, and so on and so forth. I rounded out my resume at the Thomas Institute of Hypnosis and the National Guild of Hypnotists becoming a Certified Consulting Hypnotist. And this is the "Readers Digest" version of how I got to where I am now. Operating out of Tilton, New Hampshire, ergo the name Lakes Region Hypnosis Center; we also perform Reiki healing sessions under Peaceful Light Healing (or PLH). PLH was my first organization and is now a part of our Lakes Region Hypnosis Center operation. Effectively combining both powerful tools (Hypnosis & Reiki) and we have created a healing modality second to none and without OPIODS. Healing others is a love and passion for us. Continuous education in the art of hypnosis on a regular basis, as well as consuming mandatory reading material is part of our modus operandi and in our operations manual. We also teach healing techniques at various metaphysical facilities and institutions. Sharing information at community events and local libraries, schools, and other public and private venues is always on our agenda. So please, continue to watch this website for updated events. Maybe learn a thing or two about hypnosis, Reiki, or even a bit about physical mediumship. But, be sure to watch my blogs for upcoming information to help demystify hypnosis and bring it to the forefront of where it belongs. The subconscious mind is a powerful tool for healing; and remember this, "if you can think it, it CAN happen". And don't forget about the Reiki! Future posts will include myths and phobias of hypnotism, pain management, healthy living, stress and stressors, encountering negative suggestions and negative self talk, self hypnotism, emotional trauma, mind-body spirit, subconscious mind, daily affirmations and intentions, circumstance or predetermined, deja vu all over again, breathing techniques, Reiki, chakra centers, Past Life Regression "real or not" and many more topics on healing. So until the next post, Breath - Relax - Heal. Namasate P.S. Please let me know how I performed in my first blog post ever. Archives
