Yes, the mind can heal physical health issues and you are probably going, “What? How? Why??”
In which I hope to be able to share with you today
Of course, hypnosis is the process which I will use to heal such issues, but it is really your mind being activated to do so
In fact when I decided to start my hypnotherapy practice, it was planted in my mind when I helped my mom to heal her wrist injury using hypnosis
Long story short, she injured her wrist and her entire arm up to the elbow swell up
She also lost all her strength in that arm, and was in constant severe pain
Whether you want to say she is stubborn to refuse any medical attention (be it Western or TCM), or perhaps you might say she is a strong woman to handle the pain
Either way, she endured for 3 days before she allowed me to do hypnosis for her on a bus in Pulau Tekong during the tour when my youngest brother was enlisted
Just 5 to 10 minutes and when we had the final meal with my brother, her arm was healed and back to normal
No pain, no swelling, and her strength is all back
That got me thinking to start this to help people heal better, although I did reorient towards mental health since I’ve been through that route too
Still, once in a while, I do get requests for healing of physical health issues
So now the question is:
How does the mind heal physical health issues?
I wrote another article on psychosomatic symptoms of illnesses which you can read if you want
Following that trail, if you imagine a computer where the screen is the conscious mind and the code or programs running the computer is the unconscious mind
And we can easily see that the conscious mind might make 10% while the unconscious mind makes up 90%
Truthfully, you can set up a lot of automations on your computer
Heck unless you are a programmer, you probably don’t know how it really works
Just that if you want to play your game, you click and start and just play
Similarly, there are many things happening in our body which is being run by our unconscious programs
Consciously, we don’t choose when to blink, breathe, digest food, heal wounds etc
With some minor exceptions like you might be swimming and choose to hold your breathe hahahah
But we can both agree, at least for this article, that the healing of the body happens unconsciously
So besides the psychosomatic hypnosis route, we can also use hypnosis to communicate with the unconscious mind in order to trigger or activate the healing program
Naturally, that also means we can speed up or slow down the healing of physical health issues as well
Be it sickness, injuries, or otherwise
A variation will be to use hypnosis to enhance one’s physical attributes or abilities
Tiger Woods had done self-hypnosis for himself since young, which allowed him to achieve his great success
As did many professional sportsmen
Even saying something like, “I’m healthy and well”, can instruct your unconscious mind to have a strong immune system and protect your body, as well as to heal faster from illnesses
But is it just a placebo?
And that is a great question
Researcher and doctors have used placebo to test a number of medicines and have to ensure that it is resolving physical health issues at a high effective rate beyond just a placebo before they can conclude it is a success
So even if it is a placebo effect, yet we are having a high effective rate, wouldn’t that be a success regardless?
Since there are people who heal just based on a belief
A belief that this medicine can heal their health issues, and it works
And right now, we are using hypnosis to empower or enhance this belief
Would that sound ok?
Because I have done this for mild physical health issues like cough, cold, fever, headache
And no, I didn’t charge them for it haha
Although I did have a client who had a brain injury and came to me for healing through hypnosis
It was healed also in one session (but you can read more details here)
And this works because the mind can encode our imagination into the unconscious healing programs
Which in her case, can reverse damage, speed up healing, and restore her brain function
Naturally, the opposite is also possible
Such that if one doesn’t believe they got a good healing factor, then they might heal slowly or have increased risk of complications
That’s called a nocebo
And if all it takes is just to say more positive words to yourself, then why not right?
Here’s how I healed my own physical ailment
During my first year of starting my practice, I was on my computer in my office working that evening
Once I was done, I decided to just stretched my arms upwards and suddenly there was a snap sound!
And my head fell backwards?!
Somehow, I couldn’t control the muscles in my neck to hold my head up!!
I had to use one hand to hold my head up while I switched my computer off…
And took an MRT home…
I know I know… you are probably thinking I’m crazy, never die before, why never go hospital
Well… guess that proves I’m my mom’s son HAAHAHAH
Ahem anyway I got back home, quickly showered (while holding my head of course) and got into bed
I then messaged my chiropractor for an appointment the next day if he was available
While attempting to sleep, I had a sudden thought
“Can I hypnotize my neck to snap back in place?”
To be fair, I have no idea if my bones snap out of place, or it was a ligament issue
BUT I had no pain so it can’t be an injured ligament right?
(Pssst if you are a doctor or have any idea what it might be, feel free to comment)
I hypnotized myself, did a regression to that incident and reversed it
Remember I was laying in my bed…
And suddenly there was a snap!
I opened my eyes, and carefully sat up
My head was fine, my neck was ok now
Granted it wasn’t 100%
I could feel a bit of weakness still, and my chiropractor also felt it the next day
And he did the appropriate adjustments
But still… did I really just adjust my own neck in place with my mind alone?!?!
What other explanation is there?
Your mind is powerful enough to heal physical health issues
It truly is
And while I cannot teach you exactly what I did
Partly because it requires a deep faith and trust in yourself and in your unconscious mind
As well as having a wealth of experience, knowledge and skill
However I’ll share with you a technique for injuries to speed up healing, reduce bruising and swelling and pain
It’s actually really simple that I will share two variations for healing such physical health issues
a. For mild accidents like knocking your knee, stubbing your toe, bruising your elbow etc
If you can, just repeat the same action but this time miss that object that you hit
And do that repeatedly
b. For bigger accidents like falls, a bicycle hits you, etc
Imagine you are in contact with a marshmallow, as if the marshmallow is the floor or the bicycle that hit you
Replay that repeatedly too
Yea that’s it
I shared this with my tailor years ago and one day unfortunately he got into a vehicle accident and there was a lot of blood coming from his face
While the ambulance was rushing him to the hospital, he remembered what I shared and imagined he fell face first into a giant marshmallow instead
By the time he got to the hospital and the doctor looked at him, the wound was closed!
Then he internally cursed when the doctor said, he has to cut the wound open to clean the wound
Hhahaha
But it shows how much faster an open wound could heal with a marshmallow!
So I hope that helps you and your loved ones in healing physical health issues using your mind 🙂
