Trance alters the way you interact with your body and can be very effective for relieving pain and discomfort. You will often experience relief from minor discomfort simply by going into trance. This is partly because you are shifting your way of attending, which causes relief. You also are calming and relaxing your body which tends to ease any muscular discomfort you have. You can go farther with pain relief by intentionally creating analgesia and anesthesia in specific parts of the body. Analgesia is an insensitivity to pain and anesthesia is an insensitivity to all sensation. Analgesia is most always preferred over anesthesia since you still have contact with your body. In this section, I will show you a few basic techniques for creating analgesia and anaesthesia for working with pain. Self-hypnosis also enhances other treatments and healing processes. If you are taking medications, they work better when you re relaxed and comfortable. If you re going through a surgery, you can recover faster using self-hypnosis and you will feel better throughout the whole procedure. Hypnotic intervention for pain can create very positive, tangible results without negative side-effects. Here s an example from a student of mine: Dear Patrick, I have nothing but positive words to share regarding your work with me in hypnotherapy. Before taking your self-hypnosis class, I had been experiencing progressive back and hip pain for nearly two years. I required pain medication or muscle relaxants to sleep and there was not a moment in the day that I was not in pain. I had changed many of my behaviors in lifting and exercising. I adjusted my posture, joined a health club, and had tried a variety of nontraditional treatments for relief. I finally turned back to traditional medicine and met with an orthopedist. An MRI revealed I have spinal stenosis and a herniated disc. Steroid shots and surgery were my options if the pain did not subside. My office workstation was lowered 5 inches and I received a new chair, which undoubtedly assisted in my recovery, but it was not until I learned about self-hypnosis and the healing that can come from within that I experienced significant pain relief. In your self-hypnosis class I first experienced complete pain relief during a guided hypnosis session. Just knowing that a state of relief could be achieved under hypnosis gave me hope that I could eventually reach a pain-free state under normal alertness. I first worked on improving my quality of sleep through self-hypnosis before bed. With your assistance, I then learned to envision a healing energy that may actually repair the damage to my spine. I am pain free now, and have been for nearly 6 months. I sleep well and I do not take any pain medication for back or hip pain. I am exercising fully, taking care to protect my lower back, and have begun skiing .
