Physical Potential of Suggestions
Posted: December 29th, 2007, 11:52 amHi all,
Well, basically I was just interested to hear thoughts and experiences regarding physical effects of hypnotic suggestions. I'm sure we've all heard of hypnosis altering body temperature and even the wonder stories of boosting people's immune systems and halting or regressing tumor growth and whatever, though I haven't read any studies about this so I guess I don't know how credible some of this stuff is.
I was just asking because I'm working out a lot and was thinking of supplementing the regimen I'm on with suggestions to exercise more, get bigger, stronger etc. Obviously some of these would just be behavioural stuff, not physical, but I was thinking of trying out direct physical suggestions to see if they enhanced the physical development any. It would be difficult to kind of guage whether the growth is due to the exercise or to hypnosis though, but I guess it couldn't hurt?
Anyways, just interesting in reading anecdotes, research or whatever about the physical effects of hypnosis to see how viable the type of suggestions I'm going to try out might be.
