Stage Hypnosis Vs Hypnotherapy - Understanding The Difference
By: Matt Godson
We've all seen them, right? The stage hypnotist, who makes his subjects cluck like chickens. But comparing a stage hypnotist to a hypnotherapist is like comparing a karaoke singer to Celine Dion! They are just not in the same league! Most people believe that stage hypnotists “make” their subjects do things that they don't want to do. But this is far from the truth. It's impossible to make someone do something against their will or their morals while they're under hypnosis. The subconscious will simply reject the suggestion. Its also not true to say that the subjects are "asleep" - they're relaxed but if they were asleep they could not follow the hypnotists instructions! Stage hypnotists give hypnotherapists a lot of undeserved bad press. A hypnotherapist, will conduct an extensive interview with his client to determine what the client wants to accomplish with hypnotherapy. Does she want to stop smoking, lose weight, become more successful, attract the ideal relationship? Perhaps, she wants to release stress, become more positive, control chronic pain, or develop better working habits. In hypnotherapy, no one is caused embarrassment for someone else's entertainment. The client works with the hypnotherapist to control habits and make positive changes in his or her life. The sessions are deeply relaxing, comfortable, safe, and enjoyable....and entirely withot embarassment! Matt Godson is the founder of http://www.freshstartmethod.com an online stop smoking solution.

How to Benefit from the Mind-Body Connection
(excerpt)
You are about to gain insight into the
mind-body connection. The number of
people who truly understand these principles on our
planet are relatively few.
There is an undeniable connection between our minds and
bodies, you can learn
to use this fact to your benefit.
Dr. Bernie Siegel, author of "Love, Medicine and
Miracles" was once a
distraught cancer surgeon until he
began to understand the greater principles
of the mind-
body connection. He felt dragged down by the artificial
barriers
that existed between patient and doctor, and the
helplessness he often felt as
a result of his inability
to effectively serve those patients. Eventually, those
barriers
were disintegrated by Dr. Siegel's recognition
and growing understanding of the
mind-body connection and
how it could serve his patients and himself.
Dr. Siegel, or Bernie as he began to have his patients
refer to him, had some
startling realizations as a cancer surgeon. He found that
there were actually
quite a few people in the world that successfully beat
the statistics on cancer
survival. He began to recognize that a patient's ability
to defeat something as
serious as cancer had to do with the patient's mind and
attitude about their
disease.
