I've had training in hypnosis and NLP and am always interested in how hypnosis can be used to help people. One experiment reported in the Journal of the National Cancer Institute used a group of 200 people scheduled to undergo breast biopsies or lumpectomies. Half of them were given a fifteen-minute hypnosis session, the others received routine anesthesia and nondirective empathic listening. The hypnotized patients experienced less pain, nausea, discomfort and anxiety without medication following surgery, and spent 10.6 fewer minutes in the operating room. This also resulted in a saving of almost $800 per patient for Mount Sinai School of Medicine.
That's pretty powerful, isn't it? So can hypnosis help you be a better writer, too? I believe it can. If you're interested in finding out more about how, go to www.timetowrite.com and click on the "trances" tab on the left. You'll find an explanation and some trances you can download (for a modest fee).
