The Olympics and Hypnosis

Wednesday, July 30th, 2008

I just realized that very soon the Olympics are going to be taking place in China. This brought to mind the connection between athletic performance and hypnosis.

These athletes who are going to be participating have been training for this upcoming event for a long time, sometimes most of their lives. They have focus!

They start by working with one or more coaches, and trainers. They start developing their bodies for the event(s) that they feel drawn to. With their support team they start developing their particular routines for their event.

Where does Hypnosis come in? These people have been working toward this upcoming event, sometimes for most of their lives. They spend long hours with their coaches and trainers doing the physical part of their training ( I said that they are focused!). There is also another part that the really good ones participate in, that is the mental preparation for their event.

When they are not physically training, they take time to go over their routines again and again mentally. They work on the fine details of their physical workout. In their subconscious they fine tune their performance by going step by step through their routine to get it perfect.

They are getting into the hypnotic zone. This helps them program their body to execute their routine with perfection so that when they are out on the floor and engaged in their performance they do not have to think about each upcoming move that they need to do for their routine.

When they go out to perform their routine, before they start, they take some time to focus (you can watch them do this), they go into the Zone where they are being operated by the subconscious mind which has also trained extensively for this moment.

Sometimes during their performance they make an error, I believe that this is where they attempt to take conscious control of their performance versus using the internal programming they have developed.

When you see the Gold winner do their routine, what you see in flowing perfection of movement, every muscle is doing just what is needs to do at just the right time. This is the result of excellent self hypnosis in action! They have done that routine thousands of time both physically AND mentally. Self hypnosis is an excellent tool.

Survey Update

Sunday, July 20th, 2008

While I have my survey online, I have also been asking people on the street their thoughts about hypnosis. I have been getting some interesting answers. One was from a man and his first response was that he had been a successful subject at a stage show at the fair. He was not happy with the experience since when he was brought out of trance the whole audience was laughing at him. When he saw the video of the event he was somewhat upset. He had been told to smack his back side and yell “Who is your daddy?” and he felt he had been made to look foolish. He was in deep trance.

Next he said he had tried hypnosis to stop smoking and it did not work, then he admitted that he was not ready to stop.  He said he had the same results with loosing weight. When I want to eat those donuts I want to eat donuts, so it did not work then either.

Here is an example of a person who is a good hypnotic subject, yet he is not ready to do what is necessary to achieve the results that  he knows would be beneficial to him if he were to really want the results.

A lot of  the other people I talked with knew little or nothing about hypnosis, heard that it exists yet it had never been in any way near their lives so they had no real knowledge about it.

Others thought that it could be beneficial and they would like to achieve better self confidence and self worth, while a few were interested in stop smoking or weight loss.

I shall continue gathering this information to get a broader base for statistical purposes.

Hypnosis Survey

Saturday, July 5th, 2008

I thought that it would be good to involve my readers in a new project that I am undertaking. This project is a survey about hypnosis. It is composed of four short questions which are:

1) Male/Female

2) age,  20’s, 30’s 40’s 50+

3) What do you know about Hypnosis?

4) If it did work, what three things would you use it for?

Simple, straight forward. I ask that you submit your answers to “comments@HypnoticPro.com” and if you care to post comments  here in the blog feel free to do that.

Aortic Anurism

Thursday, July 3rd, 2008

A friend of mine recently was talking wit me about the less than great news that he had just received from his doctor. The Doc told him that he has an aortic anurism and it needed more tests before they go in to remove it.

I was telling him that if in fact they do have to go in that I can work with him so that to him it will be painless. He was liking that part, just does not really enjoy pain. He went in for more in depth testing and it turned out there was no anurism, just arteries that were accomidating too much plaque.

He was very happy that they are not going to crack his chest, and he still carries this reluctance to experience pain so eventually I will get to teach him how to do his own  personal pain control.
