Dr. Milton Erickson is a California based psychiatrist who discovered the process of electroencephalography. This process is devised to access the unconscious mind and past memories of individuals. It measures the electrical activity of the brain through the electrodes placed on the scalp or even on the subdural or cerebral cortex.
The brain in general has four basic states determined by the frequency of the electricity in the neural pathways determined by the exchanged of chemicals generated throughout the process. We will focus this article on one of the four states of mind known as the theta or the dream state.
Theta hypnosis or the theta healing occurs in the dream-like state of the person, within 4 to 7 hertz of electric frequency. Even without hypnosis, ordinary people can experience theta state. It is the last few seconds in the phase of waking up or falling asleep. This is the state of mind you want to get into during hypnosis or self hypnosis. Tibetan monks’ greatest desire is to achieve this state of mind through meditation in order to achieve extreme physical and mental states.
Our brain protects our body from mental and physical practices that is seemingly impossible to perform or to do such as flying from a roof top or passing through solid matters like walls and fences. However, when we dream, our minds allow us to do such things and even more because it knows that there is no threat of real physical harm in doing so. So you can dream of anything you want to do that you cannot do in real life. This is possible during a
theta experience.
In the dream state of mind or theta state, achieved by theta meditation, the body is technically asleep. And because the body is asleep, then the judgment of the possible and impossible is at rest also. The body is at rest but the mind is still awake and able to do impossible things. The effectiveness of this method made theta healing a worldwide phenomena even having
theta healing UK possible.
Hypnosis in general works because it is a mechanism already in place either intentionally or unintentionally. Every man already thinks, feel and act due to hypnosis everyday. It is evident that hypnosis, including
theta hypnosis, will remain in the forefront of human evolution because it is through this that people become who they are in the first place.
