Hypnosis can and has been frequently used for healing for thousands of years. It can be used for any healing situation you can imagine. If you need pain relief, self-healing, self-improvement, or one of a thousand different things, hypnosis could be your answer. It is ideal for almost any physical, mental, emotional or even spiritual situation that may be bothering you.

It must be understood that it is your own subconscious that does the work that makes hypnosis effective for healing. It is not the hypnotherapist, the power comes from within you. He or she can only suggest and help you achieve your desired goals and only with his permission. The hypnotist is there to protect you and guide you towards your ultimate goal.

There are various branches of hypnotherapy and one is a special hypnotic procedure known as ultra-deep hypnosis. This guides you at your own pace into the deepest depth of awareness and knowledge possible. It is called Sichort’s state. The only level of depth beyond the Sichort state is natural deep sleep.

When practicing to achieve the state of Sichort, you must first achieve a deep somnambulism, which is a state of sleep or trance often associated with sleepwalking. This is then anchored with a keyword or cue which is then used as an instant lead.

Another keyword or signal is then anchored to be used to exit this state. It will then reach the Esdaile state and this is tested by catatonic responses and is anchored by a different keyword or cue. Finally the state of Sichort is reached and it is linked with another keyword or signal. This is what is called the staging process and this is where you are taught how to use your keywords on your own. This process allows you to instantly induce analgesia, local or general anesthesia.
