Physical changes?

[schutz420]

I'm new to hypnosis and was wondering if it really is possible to achieve physical changes from it and if so how does it work?

I do believe, at least consciously, that physical transformation can happen. I'm sure that you've heard stories about people with multiple personalities, how things like eye color and birth marks change when different personalities are in control. Now there are people on here that will tell you that it isn't possible. Don't listen to them, make up your own mind. If you think you have any doubts in your subconscious you could try affirmations to change it. I recently heard that in 15 minutes a day you can reprogram your subconscious using affirmations. I can't recall if the person said a specific length of days but I did hear the 15 minutes. Maybe one affirmation could be along the lines of "Physical transformations are real. Hypnosis can cause physical transformations.". I hope this helps you.

Well i for one believe without a doubt it is possible - because i have seen it. I have induced breasts growth in my wife using hypnosis and a few NLP techniques.

On the other side of the spectrum i have reduced and am still reducing a large vericous ( please excuse the spelling ) vein in my leg using purely hypnosis.

In my opinion you should just try one of the transformation over the course of like a month and see if it works. That is the only way you'll know for certain.

Anything which psychology can change physically can be change via hypnosis.

Example, level of stress. Has physical manifestations. Can be reduced through hypnosis.

Relflexes to pain. Can be nullified by hypnosis, a la anaesthetic. Recently the NHS in the UK has started experimentally allowing surgery to be performed without chemical anaethetic, rather using hypontic trance. Of course the patient was regularly hynotised by his therapist, and so was able to trance deep easily.

Any reaction to sensation, essentially. Someone cold can be made to sweat in hypnosis, and someone hot can be made to shiver. Orgasms can be induced. I'd assume vomiting and other physical reflexes would also be able to be induced, though I can't imagine why.

However, anything can be hallucinated, with enough hypnosis. So physical changes can be hallucinated, and in that state, for all intents and purposes, they're real physical changes. The mind does this while dreaming and can be tricked into doing the same while awake.

Uh, real quick, do you think anyone could make a hypnosis file for me to change my eye color? I'm sick of brown, and I hate contacts. :P It'd be interesting to see if it'd work.

I have heard of people that have restored there sight ( not from blindness ) but from slight inperfections,so it could be possible.
