How To Build and Develop Anaesthesia Using Self-Hypnosis
|
|
In keeping with last week's theme of building skills using self-hypnosis, I wanted to show you how to build and develop anaesthesia using self-hypnosis this week!
I have lectured a couple of times in the past year and taught self-hypnosis in seminars and written a great deal on the subject and one of the things I am asked about a great deal is the best way to create anaesthesia, analgesia and the right level of numbness for it to be used as an impressive demonstration of self-hypnosis skill and as a convincer of the effects of self-hypnosis.
As we are in the process of adding some of this lecture material to our members area for our members to enjoy, I thought I'd share some strategy here too.
In the past I have written about the well-used process of glove anaesthesia when inducing using hetero-hypnosis, but today, I thought I'd offer up a variety of ways to create a really good level of numbness, anaesthesia and analgesia in their arm.
This is absolutely one of those processes that can create very impressive results very quickly. However, I recommend that it is something that is developed and built up over a prolonged period of time - that you practice, utilise repetition and persistence in order to build up your skill level.
With a good level of practice, you'll also actually find that you'll be very capable of moving the anaesthesia to other parts of the body if every required too.
Here is a step-by-step process, however, it has a number of options within the guide, so give a thorough read on a couple of occasions prior to practicing.
If you want to chart your own progress and development with this skill, you may want to pinch your chosen arm or hand at the start, be aware of how much force you used and gauge the amount of discomfort or pain that is felt. Then later on, when you have induced the anaesthesia and numbness, you can start to test it and compare the measurement made before hand.
Be safe and apply common sense with this, use it as a convincer, use it with safety and not in a way that is going to cause you any harm in any way.
Steps To Create Numbness and Anaesthesia In Your Arm Using Self-Hypnosis:
|
|
Steps To Create Numbness and Anaesthesia In Your Arm Using Self-Hypnosis ...
Step One
|
|
|
Step Two |
|
Tell yourself that every thought you think takes you deeper into hypnosis and then do one or all of the following strategies to start developing the numbness and anaesthesia:
a) Use cognitions and internal dialogue:
Affirm to yourself that the area of your arm you are focusing on is going numb. This needs to be done in a way that convinces you that it is the truth; that is, say it all to yourself in a way that you believe 100% at an emotional level.
Do not say it with stress and do not 'try' to will it to happen, just convince yourself with a good level of assuredness.
Focus your attention on a particular spot on your hand or your arm and begin to imagine and notice that it is growing numb. Then tell yourself it is going numb. Convince yourself using your internal dialogue that it is so.
Utilise any accompanying twitches, or slight sensations by telling yourself that they are proof of it taking affect and working for you.
"My arm is more and more numb. Feeling is fading, disappearing... More and more numb" or whatever kind of other cognitions really convince you.
b) Use of cold and ice:
This is typically my first choice when doing this using hetero hypnosis with someone.
Imagine that you are putting your hand, finger tips first, and then slowly the rest of the hand and arm, into a bucket of icy water. Imagine the coldness and numbness spreads and then imagine it getting colder until the water turns to ice and the arm is encased in case.
Again, add belief and convince yourself of it.
You can tell yourself that the arm is getting colder and colder, but ensure it is not an uncomfortable coldness that would harm us in real-life terms. No self-induced frostbite here please! ;-)
Some of my students have imagined pure white snow falling on the arm, building up and getting colder. You may use icy, barren arctic conditions as a stimulus to dominate the mind and accompany what you do with the arm directly, thus creating an internal environment for your thoughts that supports and encourages the coldness in the arm.
c) Numb colouring:
With either of the previous options and with those that following, you may choose to use your imagination to colour the area in a way that leads to numbness.
Ideally, white and blue tend to get associated with cold and that may prove useful.
However, when I do this with clients or students with hetero hypnosis, I have often noticed the actual change in colour in the arm as blood is mobilized. Often the arm loses some of it's usual colour and turns a more yellow or pale colour. You might consider suggesting the same thing to yourself using colour and imagining that the arm is becoming more pale.
This use of colour can advance and enhance any of the other options given here.
d) A numbing injection:
This is particularly good and effective if you have had an experience of a numbing, analgesic injection in the past, at a hospital, doctors surgery or dentist.
You might notice or imagine being in a doctors surgery or a surgical environment if that helps create the right feel for you. Then imagine the injection and focus on the cooling, numbing sensation that occurs, focus on it and even add in the use of your internal dialogue, colouring and coolness imagery to advance it.
e) Turn the arm into something else:
This is the kind of process used by Derren Brown in his recent stage show. This is whereby you use your imagination and imagine that your arm and hand are actually made of a different substance. You imagine that the arm takes on the qualities of that substance.
You imagine that the arm and hand are beginning to change gradually into a piece of wood, plastic, or the same as an arm of a clothing shop mannequin.
You imagine the arm becoming inert, like painted wood or soft plastic, you tell yourself that it is becoming more and more numb as it takes on those qualities.
f) Distraction:
This is working upon dissociation principles. While inducing the numbness, you shift your awareness and focus to another completely different part of your body, you become so aware and tuned in to your toes or foot, for example, that you lose any awareness of the arm and it becomes numb by default.
I recommend that a combination of many of these techniques and processes be used to develop the desired outcome. Remember to convince yourself and add as much belief as possible without unnecessary stress being placed upon yourself.
When you have built up and developed the numbness, move on to the next step.
|
Step Three: |
|
Now test your anaesthesia if you wish to. Test it with the same pinch you use earlier and see how much of a difference you have created.
Congratulate yourself before moving on.
|
Step Four: |
|
Tell yourself that each time you practice this, your responses become more and more noticeable and developed better and better. Each time you practice, it is easier and more profound. Tell yourself that the numbness occurs more readily.
Tell yourself that you are making fabulous progress. Then move on to the next step.
|
Step Five: |
|
Start to put the feeling and sensation back into your arm. Imagine it warming, imagine the correct colour of it, give yourself suggestions and instructions that it returns to it's usual way of being and that it is healthy and at ease, functioning well.
You might flex it or wave it and put it all back into place and associate with all the right feelings in it. Tell yourself that this continues to develop and occur after the session is completed.
For people wishing to use the anaesthesia for actual surgery, dentistry or for some reason, then you may want to give yourself a time limit for the anaesthesia to continue occurring. Let it be effective for the duration of the procedure.
You may then also give yourself suggestions for improved and enhanced healing and development after the procedure. I would not advise using this process here without some professional guidance and tuition though if you are planning on using it for surgery or in a medical capacity. A simplified article is not the best preparation for such.
|
Step Six: |
|
Bring yourself out of hypnosis, counting and opening your eyes if they were closed.
I think you'll be surprised by how much you can really do this and develop it. I hope you enjoy it and get to marvel at what you can do, and that you also do this safely and carefully.

MELANIE RIVERA
Having just completed Adam's 10 month diploma course and thoroughly enjoyed it, it brings me great pleasure to write this review. I just want to say that if you have decided that you would like to embark on a career in hypnotherapy; and you are now at the stage of deciding on the right training school for you...
Search no more, Adam's course in my mind is the best of the best! From beginning to end you will be hypnotized by the way in which Adam delivers his course material to you. I found Adam to be a very fun and charismatic guy; he will have you in stitches laughing! He is a brilliant teacher, very clear and easy to understand. For me the whole course has been like a personal journey towards a successful ending. Adam demonstrates many of the techniques so you really get to sample how talented he is as a hypnotherapist. I have to say that on more than one occasion when Adam did a class demonstration; I noticed some big changes take place in my own confidence and in the rate of my learning... I put down this down to benefiting from being in deep hypnosis myself during his demo.
Adam is very attentive and very observant, he doesn't miss a trick. He seems to distribute his attention towards each individual at the right time, as a result you really feel like you get a very personalized learning experience. I might add that this course isn't a 'cake walk'... Prepare to 'work your socks off!' In terms of homework, you really have to be committed and keep on top of it. I can honestly say that it is all worth it and, having completed Adam's course, I do feel competent enough to embark on my career as a hypnotherapist.

(pictured here firewalking) Adam is unique trainer or, as I like to think now, my mentor. With a perfect balance of seriousness and fun mixed together, he creates an enjoyable and learning atmosphere which keeps you wanting more. I spent over a year looking at different courses and chatting to other trainers and I can honestly say that I made the best choice that was right for me.
Adam's knowledge and passion for the subject surpasses that of anyone else I have met in this field, and Adam is very generous with his sharing of that knowledge. It is obvious from the beginning that Adam knows what he's doing and that you have made the right choice in joining the course. Prepare to amaze yourself in the things you know and can talk about with others confidently as you progress through the course, I did and I still do today. If you want an enjoyable learning experience with a trainer that really does want you to be the best you can be, then take that next step. To sum up the course in three words, Creative, Enjoyable, Diverse.

HELEN JOHNSTONE "I attended the 10 month course which ran from October 2011- July 2012. The course is interesting, fun, fast paced, encouraging, confidence building, skill packing and very professionally run by Adam and his team. Realistically, it required a lot of committment in time and effort, which in reality was easy to give with the knowledge and new zest for learning that Adam's enthusiasm brings. Adam and his team were of constant support to me throughout the course and I feel lucky to be able to consider them to be good friends and confidantes now.
I have qualified and feel confident that the knowledge,confidence, skills and practical experience I have gained during this course will serve me very well in practice"..

GEORGE WATSON - GLENROTHES, FIFE, SCOTLAND "I booked up to Adam Eason School of Therapeutic Hypnosis in 2010, and I really did not know what to expect, I was very interested in Hypnosis, but what is taught throughout the diploma course is by far the best around. Adam's very unique style is very uplifting and thorough and I leave his school with much more knowledge and well trained in clinical hypnotherapy. If you want trained to the high standard that Therapeutic Hypnotherapy should attain then look no further than Adam's School" |
