After an Individual has been subjected to hypnotic suggestion can that same Individual dance around believing that they are a chicken . Is the mind fooling the Individual In that respect .

It may be useful to consider what Kabash has said in the post above about hypnosis being a negotiation. It's not a matter of someone being subjected to hypnotic suggestion. It's two people deciding to enter a hypnotic relationship. The hypnotist only has power to the extent that the person being hypnotized decided to engage in the interaction. You bring up the idea of chicken so I'm going to assume here you are referring to stage shows where you see people do silly things. In those cases remember there is only a show to the extent that people choose to participate. The people who do participate tend to be very extroverted and like being the center of attention. It's not the mind fooling the individual because the mind and individual are one. It is the individual choosing to suspend what they normally consider reality for a short period of time and try something else on for a little fun. It's also important to know that just as things are never as they seem in a magic show, the same is true about these type of demos of hypnosis.

If we take your analogy of the child having a fear of dogs for discussion .
My approach regarding self healing and self empowerment will come to fruition when the Individual Is experiencing the realization as to why he/she feels the way they do . All Is linked to the soul and what the soul needs to experience within mind . To absolve and transmute fears within the experiences of life one must be In self love mode .
Perhaps the child who Is fearful of dogs mistreated animals and subjected them to pains and sufferings In their past Incarnation . The karmic wheel perhaps In motion . In Effect . Does the Individual through hypnotic suggestion repay their karmic debt by altering their mind set from a fearful state to a empowered state .

Everything is karma. Every action has a reaction and its net is so intricate it is impossible to see all of the interconnections. Thus how could we ever know when someone repays their karmic debt? How do we know that them coming to hypnosis for relief of that is not the direct result of the merit they've created in past lives as well. Each individual must carry their own karma however I will surely take every opportunity to relieve them of it.

What Is then happening to what the soul Is In need of
|
Ideas of the soul and karma are up to personal belief and I have my own just has you have your's. Hypnosis is about changing the way the mind processes information. It's not my job to make any decisions about my clients' spirituality. If I did that and forced upon them beliefs about the soul, reincarnation, God, or anything else I risk losing rapport and thus the whole process will fail. The executive who comes in to my office because he has a fear of public speaking tends not to be interested in those things. If I want to help him I better stay clear of such topics and just do the work that's needed.

What happens to the soul experience of an Individual that Is very down and sad within themselves that undergoes positive affirmations that alters their experience of expressing sadness . This Is what I experienced and It had everything to do with past life energies coming to the fore because I was self enquiring as to what needed healing within myself

If this worked few than fantastic and I'm very happy to hear you are in a better place now. From the stand point of hypnosis we don't need to go into past life stuff (although some therapists choose too). We can get the work done in the here and now. Ultimately it comes down to personal choice. I don't work with past life cases for personal reasons and I am just as successful as those who do.

I deserved to feel sad . I needed to feel sad . That Is the point . Self forgiveness self love Is the process that heals .
If I had at that time hypnosis where that Influence was suggestive In that I am worthy of happiness or that I am happy and all Is well In my life and of myself then that would actually be counterproductive as to which was naturally unfolding via emotional expression .
|
The hypnotherapeutic process is not a matter of the hypnotist sitting there telling people while they are in trance, "you're happy, all is well, you're worthy of happiness, etc". That type of work is doomed to fail in most cases. What we do is FAR more sophisticated than that. We are completely reorienting reality with the client.

No this is not how hypnosis works.

I would say that In those Instances the hypnotist needs to be In touch or In tune with the patient on a soul level would you agree? In order to be sure that they are not overriding a soul lesson .

I can't say I agree or disagree because I'm not quite sure what you mean by "on a soul level". How would you gauge that? This once again comes down to your own belief. How do you know the hypnosis isn't the lesson they needed.
I do not concern myself with metaphysics when working with clients. They don't ask for it and it's not really my job to do that. It would be insanely unethical for me to tell a client that they need to believe this or that about the soul and afterlife. I'm working with the mind which personally I see no different than the soul/ self but that's my belief. We have a good understanding of how the mind and hypnosis work together and hypnosis is an incredibly powerful tool for change and growth. When a person comes to me for a session I work with them to create the change they want. What they believe beyond that is really up to them.
Cheers!
