Welcome to The International Hypnosis Research Institute Web site. Our intention is to provide quality information to clinicians and the general public concerning hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and other mind/body modalities. We intend to expand our coverage to include such topics as Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP), energy psychology and medicine, and other related topics. While our intention is to provide quality information derived from valid sources, including peer reviewed literature concerning significant research, this site is not presented as a source of medical or psychological advice. Clinicians wishing to expand their scope of practice or protocols based upon presented information should perform due diligence prior to use. It is our sincere hope to stimulate interest in these topics and to contribute to the evolution of the science of hypnosis. -- Tim Brunson DCH

EFT: Some New Ways of Understanding How and Why it Works

by Marilyn Gordon, BCH, CI

From the book Extraordinary Healing: Transforming Your Consciousness, Your Energy System, and Your Life by Marilyn Gordon

There is a miraculous way of tapping the healing power by working with the meridian system.
When I was introduced me to the "tapping techniques," I became aware that I was being given one of the great secrets of the universe. The technique involves tapping on various points on the body while using specific verbalizations to eliminate or reduce all kinds of pain and suffering. It's amazingly simple and easy to learn, and yet its results are phenomenal. As I became more and more involved with using the techniques with clients and with myself, I found variations that embellished their power. In our work, we normally combine these techniques with deep inner healing. They can, nevertheless, be used on their own or in combination with many other modalities.

Failed Tinnitus Case

by Mary Llewellyn, BSc(Hons),FHRS(UK),FRSA

In 2002 Guy was referred to me by a chest consultant for stress management following severe chest pains, panic attacks, high blood pressure and tinnitus. We used EFT effectively with some of the underlying causes of his blood pressure and gained improvements in this and his stress levels. He was sleeping better at night but we still made little lasting headway with his tinnitus.

The Human Energy Field and the Invisible Universe

by Dr. Harry Oldfield

(This is an abstract from an article which appeared in Subtle Energies & Energy Medicine Volume Seventeen, Number Two)

This presentation is a visual journey spanning three decades of research into the invisible energy fields which are the matrix or blueprint of human beings and other living organisms. The journey begins back in the 1970's with Kirlian Photography experiments and amazing images, on to the development of Electro-Crystal Generator and the Electro-Scanning Method (ESM) to quantitatively scan the Energy Field in three dimensions. Then in the 1980's comes Polycontrast Interference Photography (PIP) which shows the invisible field, including chakras, acupuncture points and meridians, in high resolution color patterns in and around the body, giving three-dimensional information on the state of balance and health of the subject. More recently, the Oldfield Microscope, a significant improvement on the optical microscope, is able to show the invisible energy patterns in the microscopic world in the living state. Sometimes the investigation into subtle realms reveals the presence of invisible energy forms and entities which share our planes of existence and interact with us in different ways. These cutting edge technologies are true 21st century tools in the study of subtle energies and energy medicine.

The Role of Energy in Radically Changing Medicine

Throughout history our understanding of energy has evolved in spurts characterized by dogmatic resistance and sudden revelations. Sir Isaac Newton's contributions to our understanding of light were significantly altered by James Clerk Maxwell (1831-1879), who recognized that electricity and magnetism are essentially the same. And, by the time that Albert Einstein, a 3rd grade patent clerk (who couldn't get a university job), wrote his famous essays, there was a clear recognition that any definition of energy must include light, magnetism, and electricity. So, if even one accepts the frizzy haired doctor's famous formulation that energy is equivalent to mass times the square of velocity, we are only just discovering how energy is used by the human body. Then add to this the role of the brain and thoughts in the regulation of energy.

Energy healing: a complementary treatment for orthopaedic and other conditions.

Complementary and alternative therapies continue to grow in popularity among healthcare consumers. Among those modalities is energy healing (EH) (Eisenberg et al., 1998). EH is an adjunctive treatment that is noninvasive and poses little downside risk to patients. Well more than 50 major hospitals and clinics throughout the United States offer EH to patients (DiNucci, research table on healthcare facilities that offer Reiki, unpublished data, 2002). The National Institutes of Health is funding numerous EH studies that are examining its effects on a variety of conditions, including temporomandibular joint disorders, wrist fractures, cardiovascular health, cancer, wound healing, neonatal stress, pain, fibromyalgia, and AIDS (National Institutes of Health, 2004a). Several well-designed studies to date show significant outcomes for such conditions as wound healing (Grad, 1965) and advanced AIDS (Sicher, Targ, Moore, & Smith, 1998), and positive results for pain and anxiety (Aetna IntelliHealth, 2003a; Wardell, Weymouth, 2004), among others (Gallob, 2003). It is also suggested that EH may have positive effects on various orthopaedic conditions, including fracture healing, arthritis, and muscle and connective tissue (Prestwood, 2003). Because negative outcomes risk is at or near zero throughout the literature, EH is a candidate for use on many medical conditions.
