REDUCE STRESS AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HYPNOSIS

REDUCE STRESS AND BOOST YOUR IMMUNE SYSTEM HYPNOSIS

Welcome to your Reduce Stress and Boost Your Immune System hypnosis session.

It has been highly researched and is now generally accepted that increased levels of stress greatly compromise our immune systems.

Researchers have determined that focused hypnosis and related visualization techniques can prevent the weakening of the immune response that often follows periods of acute stress. A new study suggests that hypnosis can enhance the immune status in some people compared to similar individuals who don't use hypnosis. The research was reported in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology in 2001. Subjects in the study who had not used self-hypnosis as a relaxation technique prior to their stressful event showed a 24 percent decrease in T-lymphocyte proliferation compared to a 2 percent increase in the hypnosis group – T-Lymphocyte white blood cells are important to the immune response. The more frequently subjects in the hypnosis group practiced their self-hypnosis, the better their immune response was.

Another study tested the effects of using hypnosis on the immune response. Blood samples obtained before hypnosis treatment and twice thereafter were tested, showing significant alteration of the immune response as measured by B-cells and helper T-cells.

There is a lot of evidence that our emotions have an impact on our immune system. One 2002 study published in the Journal of Psychosomatic Medicine showed that people with negative emotions were less resistant to the common cold than people with more positive emotions. Your mind and immune system are connected. By visualizing and keeping yourself in top shape through good nutrition, sleep and decreased levels of stress, your immune system will become stronger.

It’s all in the state of your mind. Shift your mind – Heal your body.

Keep Well!
