Executive summary about hypnosis by Sajith T. M.
A powerful tool to tackle insomnia is hypnotherapy. Hypnosis can provide immediate help in overcoming insomnia. Hypnosis can not only help you feel more relaxed, but can also enable you to fall asleep quickly and easily, whenever you are ready to go to sleep. No more going through the entire day like a zombie, feeling all groggy and lethargic. Imagine being able to wake up every morning - bright, fresh and enthusiastic, ready to take on the world. Just think how much you can achieve if your energy levels allowed you to take massive focussed action every day without having to worry if you would be able to sleep properly in the night.
The word hypnosis originated from the Hypnos, the Greek word for sleep. Hypnosis was earlier mistaken to be a form of sleep. Remember the stereotyped Hollywood hypnotist who keeps repeating the word "sleep" over and over again trying to get his subject to go into a trance.
In truth, hypnosis is actually a state of heightened awareness combined with deep relaxation. During hypnosis, the unconscious (or the subconscious) mind is more receptive to suggestions. This means that post hypnotic suggestions can be made to relax both the body and the mind, reduce mental chatter or even daily stress and anxiety. Suggestions can also be given to help you sleep deeply and peacefully every night.
Along with hypnosis, it will also help to try to understand the factors that are causing sleeplessness. Small lifestyle changes can sometimes go a long way in improving your condition. Make a list of potential factors that could be responsible for your insomnia. These can be anything from your food habits, watching too much TV, work pressure or even family/relationship issues. Identify them and try to eliminate as many as possible.
There are breathing techniques that can help you relax quickly. These when done regularly can bring down daily stress levels dramatically. If you want more long-term benefits try meditation. All these, combined with hypnosis can help you get over your chronic insomnia issues.
