NEUROPLASTICITY AND HYPNOTHERAPY EFFECT ON HUMAN BRAIN [Nov 5, 2017]
What is the connection between hypnotherapy and neuroplasticity ?Neuroplasticity is the ability of the brain to re-wire itself and hypnotherapy is a powerful tool, that can be used to strengthen neural-connections or create new neural pathways. The brain is constantly changing and creating new pathways as a reaction to thoughts, emotions and experiences.
Our brains contain about one billion neurons. Every time you learn a new skill, have a new experience, think a new thought, you change your brain. If you keep thinking the same thoughts and repeat the same behaviour, you keep firing the same neural patterns. You create an automatic behaviour and responses to everything that happens in your life. If the behaviours are positive, you’ll see positive changes in your life.
If you are struggling with unwanted habits or emotions, you can learn how to change them.What can hypnotherapy do for you ?The brain doesn’t make a distinction between imagined and real. Do you remember watching a movie and knowing well, what you see on the screen is not real, but still being able to experience a range of different emotions? Did you ever have a great dream or a night mare? Did you ever hear about placebo and nocebo effect?
As you can see, you use your mind every day, every minute to heal you or to harm you. And at the same time, you change your brain. Your thinking reflects in your body. Your body reacts to your thoughts. Do your thoughts make you feel relaxed or stressed? Do you feel optimistic or negative?
Hypnotherapy helps you access your subconscious mind and focus on what you want to create.You will learn how to relax and experience in YOUR mind your vision. You will re-wire your brain and learn how to behave and think differently. By repeating the new thoughts and behaviours, you will create new neural pathways. You will literally change your brain as the brain will delete the neural connections, that are no longer needed. If you want to experience in your life happiness, confidence, calmness, creativity or resilience you have to think the thoughts, that reflect those qualities.
Hypnotherapy is a great way to create changes in your life, but You need to be committed and work towards the goal. Your life is the creation of Your mind.
