The Power of Your Subconscious MIND, Joseph Murphy https://www.barnesandnoble.com/w/power-of-your-subconscious-mind-joseph-murphy/1100194533”
Hypnosis, by many other names, has been a key element to health and healing for thousands of years. Many Native American healing rituals were akin to today’s hypnosis processes. Over 4,000 years ago, Egyptian sleep temples and dream temples included practices that were very similar to modern day hypnosis. The 5,000 year old practice of yoga contains many of the same elements of hypnosis intended for connecting and healing mind and body. Surgeons and other medical practitioners were using hypnosis for both anesthesia and for recovery in the 1800s. For about 100 years hypnosis seems to have slipped from the medical playbooks. However, with the rise in popularity of mindfulness and holistic and alternative medicine, hypnosis is making a healthcare comeback.
On episode 7, Craig and Larry take you through the many aspects of hypnosis used in the medical field and in the healing of the body.

The mind and body contain a blueprint to create and sustain a healthy body. Our bodies are virtually newly formed about every 9 months as that is the maximum life span of most cells.

However, the mind and body also require a silent calmness, free from stress, to produce healthy cells. Learn how to use hypnosis and other practices to accomplish that on this episode of Hypnotic Rhythm, Healing Hypnosis.
