Hypnosis

At first glance, hypnosis seems like it comes out of left-field. It isn't a chemical-based protocol, like a pharmaceutical; yet it can be used as an anesthesia, to promote health, and even to treat some illnesses. It isn't analogous to lengthy psychiatric evaluations, yet it can be used to explore and treat psychological problems. It sometimes seems more like magic than science, but that's only because it hasn't yet been studied to the same depths as, say, a new drug. But none of that justifies ignoring what hypnosis can do for you.

In this section you'll find posts I've written describing what is currently known about hypnosis, how to conduct a self-hypnotic session, and more.
