I frequently refer patients to Hypnotherapists because I have seen it produce excellent results in many illnesses.
Andrew Weil M.D.
Smoking
I had tired everything to quit smoking -- patches, gum, group therapy -- but nothing worked. No matter what I did I could never make it
past the 2nd week without lighting up again. That is, until I found Jonnata's web site. Her methods worked for me when every other
means before had failed. I was able to quit cold turkey, in one session, with minimal withdrawals and the will power to resist ongoing
temptation. So if you are serious about quitting and can open your mind to try something new, then I highly recommend you give
Jonnata a call. What she did for me she can also do for you. Marc W., Phoenix, AZ
Golf
I spent three weeks practicing golf on the driving range, with varying results. Meaning the location of where the ball landed varied
tremendously, and my distance was about 100-150 yards on average. After using Jonnata’s hypnotherapy CD "I Am Always Better Than
Before..I Am In The Zone!", now most all of my balls are taking a very respectable path down the center of the driving range, and my
distance is now 200-300 yards. An open mind and affirmative hypnotherapy can work wonders, I HIGHLY recommend that EVERYONE
give her CD’s the attention they deserve, they are like getting an EXTRA SPECIAL helping of "The Secret".

Smoking
What can truly be said to a person to compliment them enough on their ability to help others? Jonnata, I was really skeptical about
hypnosis being able to aid me in my endeavor to quit smoking, (after all 62-63 years of habit is not easy to break). After 1 session with
YOU on Oct. 25th, 2005, I am sending this little missive to YOU on the 26th, of Oct. 2006,to make YOU aware that there is no way I can
possibly say THANK YOU.I feel one of the best benefits, is that I can be around smokers and not try to give them advice on how to live
their lives. I absolutely recommend YOUR services to all smokers that express a desire to quit. YOU have not only made me feel better
about myself, but YOU have astounded my family and relatives. Hopefully YOU can continue helping people with YOUR skills for
another Millennium or more. I send my deepest regards to YOU for YOUR continued success in whatever YOU may endeavor to
accomplish.

Prescription Drugs
By others I was thought of as an educated, successful person who had control of there life. Unknown to others the real truth was that I
had a hidden addiction to prescription drugs and was slowly losing control over my life. I lived with this secret and addiction for 7 years.
It was a secret from my family, co-workers and everyone who knew me. I was embarrassed and disgusted with myself often thinking, how
did I let this pill popping become so out of control? The effects of this long-term addiction were starting to take control over my life. I
was tired, rundown, withdrawn, indecisive and unable to be true to any of my emotions because they were drug induced. I knew that if I
did not do something to change this lifestyle it would only be a matter of time until my secret would spiral out of control. After many
attempts of trying to quit on my own without any success I started looking for other alternatives. One evening while searching the
Internet I came across Jonnata's website. Hesitant about the confidentiality and uncertainty about her techniques I sent her an e-mail
with my concerns. She responded quickly and addressed every concern I had assuring me that everything was confidential and she made
me feel extremely comfortable. When I first spoke with her I knew God had answered my prayers and brought us together. She has the
voice of an angel and the patience of a saint. She was the only person that I had told of my secret addiction and I had confessed to her
that I desperately needed her help. To date I am 50 days drug free taking one day at a time and growing stronger with each day that
passes. Words could never express the gratitude and thankfulness that Jonnata stepped into my life. How do you thank someone who
saves your life? For the first time in a very long time I embrace each day with excitement and the challenges it may have to offer. So if
you are reading this it is probably because you are thinking of Hypnotherapy for yourself or maybe even a loved one. If hesitant, pick up
the phone and call Jonnata or send her an e-mail. She is very professional and sincere. I promise, you will not regret it. She was the
miracle in my life.

Motivation to Exercise
Hello Everyone,I have a friend who is an awesome Hypnotherapist! She helped me to make better choices regarding foods and helped me
with my Thyroid problem! She truly cares about and loves working with people. She is probably got the nicest disposition of anyone I
know! Her name is Jonnata Mata. She's helped many people stop smoking and lose weight. Her sessions are very comforting and she
provides a comfortable environment!I have found that I now have motivation to exercise once again. So far, I've gone almost every day
this week and I am eating lighter! I highly recommend her! Please pass this on to anyone you think may benefit from Hypnotherapy. She
is awesome! I've been struggling with my Thyroid for quite some time. I would suffer a severe lack of energy, depression, and would never
feel with it &I was taking medication for my Thyroid with little results. Folks with Healthy Thyroids would have a basal temperature
(under the armpit) of at least 97.1 degrees. Mine was a mere 95.5. (a sure sign my thyroid wasn't functioning properly.) Jonnata was
determined to help with my thyroid through the use of hypnotherapy. After an amazing session, I felt something shift inside me. Two
mornings later, my basal temperature was 97.5! I felt energized for the first time in months! Thank you for giving that back to me!

Insomnia
Hello Jonnata,I love the CD. I have listened to it 4 times already. Thank you! I am making progress. I have fewer nights that I cannot get
to sleep. I listen to the CD at least once per day. It is a great tool. Your voice is soothing to listen to. I start yawning as soon as I turn on
the CD! :) I am having success with EFT, too. I have a lot of tapping to do yet. I keep finding more issues to tap about. This is working.
Thank you very much!
Sincerely,J.H. - Sun City, AZ.
Negative Thought Patterns
I have begun to discover my happily ever after with the help of Jonnata Mata. With the blending of her compassion and empathy,
conveyed through her angelic voice and her guidance of a healing technique, Jonnata has directed me through the portal of peace.I am 51
and have struggled many years with critical family beliefs and limiting thought-forms. Seeking help from counselors and therapists was
unproductive for me, and I continued to be miserable; feelings of hopelessness were my daily companion.In one last hope, I put out a
silent request that I find someone to help me be released from a past that I could not remember and a future that was only a dream. Then
I found Jonnata. As she guided me through the EFT process, I began to heal. After just one session, I was amazed at the transition from
emotionally bondage to emotionally freedom. The very next day, I was a different person. People's comments, arising situations, and a
broken relationship could not rattle me. My reaction to situations was completely changed. I was calm and rational. There was an inner
peace that was now a part of my existence that I never knew before.I guess a good analogy would be that as a woman goes through
menopause, her hormones are unbalanced. As her hormones are regulated, she functions more sensibly -- mentally and emotionally. Well,
as our unseen energy field is cleansed and balanced, our entire being rises above darkness into light. Jonnata's work doesn't come in a
pill; you can't see it, taste it or smell it. But, I share with you through personal experience, it works! Jonnata, I wanted to again thank you
for taking the time to talk with me and provide encouragement that peace of mind and heart is not out-of-reach for me; your voice
reflects the kindness of angels and your words the echoes of wisdom. Thank you for wanted to help me find my way so that someday, I
may be of help to another.

Smoking
I have only smoked for about 5 years, but determined that I needed to quit before any major health issues arrived. I tried gum, the patch,
medication, and nothing helped. After talking with several smokers who quit through hypnosis, I started researching hypnotists in my
area. Jonnata’s web page stood out to me, so I met with her. I was very unsure of what to think or expect. All I can say is that I have not
had a cigarette in 45 days and, whatever it is that she does, she obviously does it well. It wasn't easy, but she somehow instilled in me that
I adamantly refuse to smoke, and that refusal to smoke is still there. She is very pleasant, and trustworthy. I have already recommended
her to other people as a good choice for quitting smoking, and other issues. Thanks again Jonnata.

Studies Reported
Weight Loss Hypnosis: An analysis of five weight loss studies reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 1996
showed that the weight loss reported in the five studies indicates that hypnosis can more than double the effects of traditional weight loss
approaches.
The University of Connecticut
Hypnosis became popular as a treatment for medical conditions in the late 1700s when effective pharmaceutical and surgical treatment
options were limited. In 1958 hypnosis was recognized by the American Medical Association as a legitimate, safe approach to medical and
psychological problems. The American Psychiatric Association (APA), and the British Medical Association (BMA), has recognized
hypnosis as a viable therapeutic tool as well. Though often denigrated as fake or wishful thinking, hypnosis has been shown to be a real
phenomenon with a variety of therapeutic uses especially in controlling pain.

Facts about hypnosis from current research findings
*****************************************
As of December, 2004 there are more than 5,000 clinical research
studies having to do with hypnosis and its benefits currently being
conducted worldwide (According to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
*****************************************
As of December 15, 2004 results from more than 3,000 clinical
research studies are available showing positive benefits from hypnosis.
(According to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
*****************************************
According to studies done at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience ,
University College London, suggestions given in a hypnotic state, even once,
can produce actions in human beings that are the same type of actions that
would have resulted from more long-term conditioning and practice.
*****************************************
In a research study on Self-hypnosis for relapse prevention training with chronic drug/alcohol users, (Am J Clin Hypn. 2004 Apr;46(4):
281-97), individuals who played self-hypnosis audiotapes "at least 3 to 5 times a week," at 7-week follow-up, reported the highest levels of
self-esteem and serenity, and the least anger/impulsivity, in comparison to the minimal-practice and control groups.
*****************************************
In a research study done with 60 college student volunteers (Spring of 2004 at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona), using
hypnosis with ego-enhancement suggestions showed "significantly dramatic effects" in brain-wave patterns, subjective sense of self-
confidence, and test scores.
*****************************************
As reported by NewScientist.com news service:
"Hypnosis is more than just a party trick; it measurably changes how the brain works," says John Gruzelier, a research psychologist at
Imperial College in London . "Hypnosis significantly affects the activity in a part of the brain responsible for detecting and responding to
errors, an area that controls higher level executive functions." The finding is one of the first to indicate a biological mechanism
underpinning the experience of hypnosis. "This explains why, under hypnosis, people can do outrageous things that ordinarily they
wouldn't dream of doing," says Gruzelier, who presented his study at the British Association for the Advancement of Science Festival in
Exeter , UK . Gruzelier hopes it will also benefit emerging research showing, for example, that hypnosis can help cancer patients deal with
painful treatments.
*****************************************
Research using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, shows that hypnosis might alleviate pain by decreasing the activity of brain
areas involved in the experience of suffering. Scientists have found that hypnosis reduced the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex, an
area known to be involved in pain, but did not affect the activity of the somatosensory cortex, where the sensations of pain are processed.
****************************************
Clinical trials of therapeutic hypnosis confirm its potential benefits. Christina Liossi, a psychologist at the University of Wales in Swansea
, recently conducted a study of 80 cancer patients aged 6 to 16. She found that those under hypnosis experienced far less pain during
treatments than control children, who simply talked to the researchers normally.
****************************************
According to published results of clinical studies (Am J Clin Hypn. 2004 Apr), the use of hypnosis facilitates a more uncomplicated birth
process. In a separate research study done by University of Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble, it was also found that women
who learn hypnosis before delivering babies suffer fewer complications, need less medication and are more likely to have healthier babies
than are women without hypnosis. Schauble's first study involved adolescents getting prenatal care at a public health clinic. A group of 20
patients who received hypnosis preparation were compared with 20 who were given supportive counseling and 20 patients in a control
group who received only the standard prenatal care. None of the women who received hypnosis required surgical intervention in their
deliveries, compared with 12 in the supportive counseling group and eight in the control group, he said. "Patients who are prepared for
labor and delivery in hypnosis are more likely to absorb and benefit from information because they are in a relaxed, highly focused
state," he said.
*****************************************
In an ongoing pilot study being done by University of Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble, preliminary results show hypnotized
patients with hypertension are more easily able to make lifestyle improvements that can lower blood pressure.
*****************************************
A study being done by a team of University of Florida researchers is finding that learning self-hypnosis gives a patient greater control over
the stress, anxiety and pain of medical operations and childbirth, overall. "Training patients in hypnosis prior to undergoing surgery is a
way of helping them develop a sense of control over their stress, discomfort and anxiety," says Dr. Paul Schauble, psychologist. "It also
helps them better understand what they can do to bring about a more satisfying and rapid recovery." He also said, "We've found, in
working with individual patients, that they often feel literally stripped of control when they go into the hospital. The surgeon may do a
good job of explaining the surgery, but patients' anxiety may make it difficult for them to absorb or comprehend. This can result in
undue apprehension that can create complications or prolonged recovery."
*****************************************
"Children make excellent subjects for hypnosis because they spend more time using their
imaginations," says Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble. "But with practice most adults can learn how to enter into a
therapeutic hypnotic state quite easily as well."
*****************************************
In 1998 Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario and his co-workers used PET to image the brain activity of hypnotized
subjects who were invited to imagine a scenario in which they were listening to someone speaking to them, and who then actually
experienced a scenario in which they were listening to someone speaking to them. The researchers noted that the act of imagining a sound,
called hallucinating a sound, was experienced exactly the same as real hearing, both being experienced as coming from an external source.
*****************************************
18 separate studies found that patients who received cognitive behavioral therapy plus hypnosis for disorders such as obesity,
insomnia, anxiety and hypertension showed greater improvement than 70 percent of the patients who received psychotherapy alone.

Healing With Hypnosis
Could hypnosis heal you?
By Susan Davis
From American Health
Phoebe Lenox* had been in talk therapy for years to deal with her panic attacks and bouts of agoraphobia that often prevented her from
leaving the house. But Lenox felt she wasn't getting to the root of her problems. "I had resolved a lot of issues, but my self-esteem was
still low, and I had a lot of anxiety," says the 46-year-old former bookstore owner in Crestone, Colo.
Lenox, who was then living in Gulf Breeze, Fla., discovered that Stephen Lankton, president of the American Hypnosis Board for Clinical
Social Workers and the author of several books about hypnosis, lived in nearby Pensacola. She thought about setting up an appointment
and consulted her psychotherapist, who agreed that hypnosis used in conjunction with regular therapy could help.
The first visit was more successful (and more straightforward) than Lenox had imagined. "I sat in a big comfortable chair in Lankton's
office," Lenox says. "He asked me to close my eyes and let my unconscious mind retrieve experiences that were relevant for me." After a
few minutes, Lenox slipped into a state of mind she characterizes as extremely relaxed but at the same time very aware.
Lankton started asking Lenox questions, and before long they were talking about how she had put up her newborn baby for adoption 27
years earlier. Lenox had discussed the issue in therapy, but this was different. "Lankton gently asked me to visualize the 19-year-old girl I
had been and what happened in the delivery room," Lenox recalls. "It became clear that I was repulsed by own fear and helplessness.
Then Lankton suggested I view my younger self as someone I could care for and feel compassion for.
"When I came out of the session, my husband said I looked like a completely different person," Lenox remembers. "I had released so
much pain." Lenox visited Lankton three more times. "My anxiety finally just melted away," she says. "I felt cleansed and rejuvenated."
Lenox is one of a growing number of people who are turning to hypnotherapy for relief from a range of psychological and physical
ailments. More and more psychotherapists are incorporating hypnosis into their practices, as are dentists and obstetricians. Why?
Because studies are pointing out the benefits of hypnosis, especially when it comes to controlling pain, curbing addictions, and reducing
stress.
The Truth About Trances
While hypnosis was deemed medically valid by the American Medical Association in 1958, a precise definition remains sketchy. According
to the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) in Bloomingdale, Illinois, entering hypnosis means shifting into an altered state of
mind that's relaxed, focused, and marked by a heightened receptivity to suggestions compatible with a person's goals and desires. "It's
not unlike daydreaming or being so caught up in a good book that the rest of the world falls away," Lankton says.
While hypnotherapists' styles may vary, they tend to follow a basic blueprint: First help the patient focus her attention internally, not on
her external environment -- by, for example, focusing on her breathing. Then offer suggestions for how she can olve her problem.
Does it work for everyone? According to the ASCH, about 15% of people are highly hypnotizable, 60% are moderately hypnotizable, and
about 25% have difficulty being hypnotized. "The greater the person's capacity for imagination and the more willing she is to enter
hypnosis, the greater the chances of success," says Fred Frankel, M.D., a professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Healing the Mind
One of the popular uses of hypnosis is for breaking habits and addictions such as overeating and smoking. A study by David Spiegel, M.
D., a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, found that 23% of people who
underwent one hypnosis session didn't smoke for two years, compared with 11% who participated in a traditional smoking-cessation
program.
Hypnosis has also been shown to be effective in providing quick stress relief. J. Henry Clarke, D.M.D., chair emeritus at Oregon Health
Sciences University School of Dentistry, has been using hypnosis for more than 30 years to ease patients' anxiety during dental
procedures. He gently instructs his patients to focus on their breathing and imagine a peaceful place, often while he plays a tape of
soothing nature sounds.
Healing the Body
Probably the most compelling use of hypnosis is for reducing pain. Dozens of clinical studies have shown that it can be extremely effective
in a variety of situations, often bringing as much relief as medication does.
Helen Crawford, Ph.D., a professor of experimental psychology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, has
successfully taught patients to reduce back pain with self-hypnosis (see: Do-it-Yourself Hypnosis, below). In a small study done by Dr.
Crawford in 1998, about 70% of patients were able to significantly reduce their pain after practicing self-hypnosis for three weeks. The
technique was simple: Any time they felt discomfort, patients were supposed to imagine they were somewhere peaceful and relaxing, or to
envision flipping off switches to symbolize putting an end to pain.
Researchers aren't sure how the mind can so effectively control the body, but Dr. Crawford theorizes that hypnosis affects our perception
of pain. "It's almost as if the patient shuts a series of trapdoors, stopping pain impulses from reaching her conscious mind," she says.
Another benefit of hypnosis, Dr. Spiegel has discovered, is reducing the emotional distress that often accompanies severe pain and a poor
prognosis. In fact, evidence suggests that it may profoundly affect survival: Breast cancer patients who participate in Dr. Spiegel's weekly
group sessions live an average of a year and a half longer than those who don't.
Still feeling skeptical? Maybe it's time to relinquish the clichéd image of the wizened old man with the pocketwatch. "The biggest problem
with hypnosis is the cultural baggage it carries," says Melvin Gravitz, Ph.D., director of the American Psychological Association's division
on hypnotherapy in Washington. "We should approach hypnosis with an open mind. When used responsibly, it's a very powerful tool."

conducted worldwide (According to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
*****************************************
As of December 15, 2004 results from more than 3,000 clinical
research studies are available showing positive benefits from hypnosis.
(According to: http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/)
*****************************************
According to studies done at the Institute of Cognitive Neuroscience ,
University College London, suggestions given in a hypnotic state, even once,
can produce actions in human beings that are the same type of actions that
would have resulted from more long-term conditioning and practice.
*****************************************
In a research study on Self-hypnosis for relapse prevention training with chronic drug/alcohol users, (Am J Clin Hypn. 2004 Apr;46(4):
281-97), individuals who played self-hypnosis audiotapes "at least 3 to 5 times a week," at 7-week follow-up, reported the highest levels of
self-esteem and serenity, and the least anger/impulsivity, in comparison to the minimal-practice and control groups.
*****************************************
In a research study done with 60 college student volunteers (Spring of 2004 at Northern Arizona University, Flagstaff, Arizona), using
hypnosis with ego-enhancement suggestions showed "significantly dramatic effects" in brain-wave patterns, subjective sense of self-
confidence, and test scores.
*****************************************
As reported by NewScientist.com news service:
"Hypnosis is more than just a party trick; it measurably changes how the brain works," says John Gruzelier, a research psychologist at
Imperial College in London . "Hypnosis significantly affects the activity in a part of the brain responsible for detecting and responding to
errors, an area that controls higher level executive functions." The finding is one of the first to indicate a biological mechanism
underpinning the experience of hypnosis. "This explains why, under hypnosis, people can do outrageous things that ordinarily they
wouldn't dream of doing," says Gruzelier, who presented his study at the British Association for the Advancement of Science Festival in
Exeter , UK . Gruzelier hopes it will also benefit emerging research showing, for example, that hypnosis can help cancer patients deal with
painful treatments.
*****************************************
Research using positron emission tomography (PET) scans, shows that hypnosis might alleviate pain by decreasing the activity of brain
areas involved in the experience of suffering. Scientists have found that hypnosis reduced the activity of the anterior cingulate cortex, an
area known to be involved in pain, but did not affect the activity of the somatosensory cortex, where the sensations of pain are processed.
****************************************
Clinical trials of therapeutic hypnosis confirm its potential benefits. Christina Liossi, a psychologist at the University of Wales in Swansea
, recently conducted a study of 80 cancer patients aged 6 to 16. She found that those under hypnosis experienced far less pain during
treatments than control children, who simply talked to the researchers normally.
****************************************
According to published results of clinical studies (Am J Clin Hypn. 2004 Apr), the use of hypnosis facilitates a more uncomplicated birth
process. In a separate research study done by University of Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble, it was also found that women
who learn hypnosis before delivering babies suffer fewer complications, need less medication and are more likely to have healthier babies
than are women without hypnosis. Schauble's first study involved adolescents getting prenatal care at a public health clinic. A group of 20
patients who received hypnosis preparation were compared with 20 who were given supportive counseling and 20 patients in a control
group who received only the standard prenatal care. None of the women who received hypnosis required surgical intervention in their
deliveries, compared with 12 in the supportive counseling group and eight in the control group, he said. "Patients who are prepared for
labor and delivery in hypnosis are more likely to absorb and benefit from information because they are in a relaxed, highly focused
state," he said.
*****************************************
In an ongoing pilot study being done by University of Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble, preliminary results show hypnotized
patients with hypertension are more easily able to make lifestyle improvements that can lower blood pressure.
*****************************************
A study being done by a team of University of Florida researchers is finding that learning self-hypnosis gives a patient greater control over
the stress, anxiety and pain of medical operations and childbirth, overall. "Training patients in hypnosis prior to undergoing surgery is a
way of helping them develop a sense of control over their stress, discomfort and anxiety," says Dr. Paul Schauble, psychologist. "It also
helps them better understand what they can do to bring about a more satisfying and rapid recovery." He also said, "We've found, in
working with individual patients, that they often feel literally stripped of control when they go into the hospital. The surgeon may do a
good job of explaining the surgery, but patients' anxiety may make it difficult for them to absorb or comprehend. This can result in
undue apprehension that can create complications or prolonged recovery."
*****************************************
"Children make excellent subjects for hypnosis because they spend more time using their
imaginations," says Florida counseling psychologist Paul Schauble. "But with practice most adults can learn how to enter into a
therapeutic hypnotic state quite easily as well."
*****************************************
In 1998 Henry Szechtman of McMaster University in Ontario and his co-workers used PET to image the brain activity of hypnotized
subjects who were invited to imagine a scenario in which they were listening to someone speaking to them, and who then actually
experienced a scenario in which they were listening to someone speaking to them. The researchers noted that the act of imagining a sound,
called hallucinating a sound, was experienced exactly the same as real hearing, both being experienced as coming from an external source.
*****************************************
18 separate studies found that patients who received cognitive behavioral therapy plus hypnosis for disorders such as obesity,
insomnia, anxiety and hypertension showed greater improvement than 70 percent of the patients who received psychotherapy alone.

Healing With Hypnosis
Could hypnosis heal you?
By Susan Davis
From American Health
Phoebe Lenox* had been in talk therapy for years to deal with her panic attacks and bouts of agoraphobia that often prevented her from
leaving the house. But Lenox felt she wasn't getting to the root of her problems. "I had resolved a lot of issues, but my self-esteem was
still low, and I had a lot of anxiety," says the 46-year-old former bookstore owner in Crestone, Colo.
Lenox, who was then living in Gulf Breeze, Fla., discovered that Stephen Lankton, president of the American Hypnosis Board for Clinical
Social Workers and the author of several books about hypnosis, lived in nearby Pensacola. She thought about setting up an appointment
and consulted her psychotherapist, who agreed that hypnosis used in conjunction with regular therapy could help.
The first visit was more successful (and more straightforward) than Lenox had imagined. "I sat in a big comfortable chair in Lankton's
office," Lenox says. "He asked me to close my eyes and let my unconscious mind retrieve experiences that were relevant for me." After a
few minutes, Lenox slipped into a state of mind she characterizes as extremely relaxed but at the same time very aware.
Lankton started asking Lenox questions, and before long they were talking about how she had put up her newborn baby for adoption 27
years earlier. Lenox had discussed the issue in therapy, but this was different. "Lankton gently asked me to visualize the 19-year-old girl I
had been and what happened in the delivery room," Lenox recalls. "It became clear that I was repulsed by own fear and helplessness.
Then Lankton suggested I view my younger self as someone I could care for and feel compassion for.
"When I came out of the session, my husband said I looked like a completely different person," Lenox remembers. "I had released so
much pain." Lenox visited Lankton three more times. "My anxiety finally just melted away," she says. "I felt cleansed and rejuvenated."
Lenox is one of a growing number of people who are turning to hypnotherapy for relief from a range of psychological and physical
ailments. More and more psychotherapists are incorporating hypnosis into their practices, as are dentists and obstetricians. Why?
Because studies are pointing out the benefits of hypnosis, especially when it comes to controlling pain, curbing addictions, and reducing
stress.
The Truth About Trances
While hypnosis was deemed medically valid by the American Medical Association in 1958, a precise definition remains sketchy. According
to the American Society of Clinical Hypnosis (ASCH) in Bloomingdale, Illinois, entering hypnosis means shifting into an altered state of
mind that's relaxed, focused, and marked by a heightened receptivity to suggestions compatible with a person's goals and desires. "It's
not unlike daydreaming or being so caught up in a good book that the rest of the world falls away," Lankton says.
While hypnotherapists' styles may vary, they tend to follow a basic blueprint: First help the patient focus her attention internally, not on
her external environment -- by, for example, focusing on her breathing. Then offer suggestions for how she can olve her problem.
Does it work for everyone? According to the ASCH, about 15% of people are highly hypnotizable, 60% are moderately hypnotizable, and
about 25% have difficulty being hypnotized. "The greater the person's capacity for imagination and the more willing she is to enter
hypnosis, the greater the chances of success," says Fred Frankel, M.D., a professor emeritus of psychiatry at Harvard Medical School.
Healing the Mind
One of the popular uses of hypnosis is for breaking habits and addictions such as overeating and smoking. A study by David Spiegel, M.
D., a professor of psychiatry and behavioral sciences at Stanford University School of Medicine, found that 23% of people who
underwent one hypnosis session didn't smoke for two years, compared with 11% who participated in a traditional smoking-cessation
program.
Hypnosis has also been shown to be effective in providing quick stress relief. J. Henry Clarke, D.M.D., chair emeritus at Oregon Health
Sciences University School of Dentistry, has been using hypnosis for more than 30 years to ease patients' anxiety during dental
procedures. He gently instructs his patients to focus on their breathing and imagine a peaceful place, often while he plays a tape of
soothing nature sounds.
Healing the Body
Probably the most compelling use of hypnosis is for reducing pain. Dozens of clinical studies have shown that it can be extremely effective
in a variety of situations, often bringing as much relief as medication does.
Helen Crawford, Ph.D., a professor of experimental psychology at Virginia Polytechnic Institute and State University in Blacksburg, has
successfully taught patients to reduce back pain with self-hypnosis (see: Do-it-Yourself Hypnosis, below). In a small study done by Dr.
Crawford in 1998, about 70% of patients were able to significantly reduce their pain after practicing self-hypnosis for three weeks. The
technique was simple: Any time they felt discomfort, patients were supposed to imagine they were somewhere peaceful and relaxing, or to
envision flipping off switches to symbolize putting an end to pain.
Researchers aren't sure how the mind can so effectively control the body, but Dr. Crawford theorizes that hypnosis affects our perception
of pain. "It's almost as if the patient shuts a series of trapdoors, stopping pain impulses from reaching her conscious mind," she says.
Another benefit of hypnosis, Dr. Spiegel has discovered, is reducing the emotional distress that often accompanies severe pain and a poor
prognosis. In fact, evidence suggests that it may profoundly affect survival: Breast cancer patients who participate in Dr. Spiegel's weekly
group sessions live an average of a year and a half longer than those who don't.
Still feeling skeptical? Maybe it's time to relinquish the clichéd image of the wizened old man with the pocketwatch. "The biggest problem
with hypnosis is the cultural baggage it carries," says Melvin Gravitz, Ph.D., director of the American Psychological Association's division
on hypnotherapy in Washington. "We should approach hypnosis with an open mind. When used responsibly, it's a very powerful tool."

Can Hypnosis make me tell secrets?
Not at all. You will not divulge any information that you would not ordinarily divulge. You always have a choice, and your brain did not stop
functioning or reasoning. However, you may find that you discover some inner truths about yourself, or your situation, or some self sabotage, that you
did not know about consciously. What this means is that your subconscious mind may have some inner programming going on that you do not know
about that causes you to keep making the same mistakes, get sick, get angry, have rotten luck, or ignore important clues about your success or failure.
The really good news is that when you uncover these inner truths that have been kept secret from your subconscious mind, your mind will and can no
longer play that game! When the unconscious strategy is revealed, it's all over. Your inner mind must now do it differently. The program only worked
when it was in stealth mode.
Can Hypnosis make me do something against my will?
Absolutely not. This is probably the biggest myth of all. Stage hypnotists seem to make people do strange things while hypnotized, but the truth is that
these people are doing these things because they have a desire to be outrageous. If the stage hypnotists chooses their subjects carefully they will have
willing participants. You will never do anything, or accept any suggestion that violates your morals or values.

What if I don't wake up?
You will wake up! No one has ever got stuck in a state of hypnosis! No one! It simply cannot happen. If the hypnotist left the room, or if you were
listening to a tape and the power went out, you would either fall asleep and wake up naturally, or your subconscious mind would detect that there is no
voice guiding you and bring you to conscious awareness.
Will I forget everything during the session?
It occasionally happens that there is amnesia for the session. Sometimes the Hypnotist will suggest that you forget what happened, and occasionally
this may have that effect. Most hypnotists want you to be aware of the session. You will be aware of everything around you, and remember most, if
not all, that happened in the session. Usually, you will remember it better than a conversation we had, because your mind is in such a focused state.
Can anyone be Hypnotized?
Yes, but only if you want to. No one can make you. You have to give the person that is hypnotizing you permission & you have to be willing to
experience trance. If you say "no" to that person, it will not work. Once again, it is based on your belief system. If you believe you can, you will be.
Most people don't think they are hypnotized after a session. What they do notice is that some things have changed ? Maybe that day, maybe the next
week. They will notice the difference!
