Po ju postoj nje abstrakt te nje artikulli shume interesant. Me vjen shume keq qe eshte ne anglisht po une kam me te vertete kohe qe ta perkthej ne shqip. Ndoshta mund te bej nje permbledhje ne ndonje postim tjeter.

Skeptical Inquirer, May-June 1996 v20 n3 p15(2)
NOVA's alien abduction program shows questionable techniques. ('debunking' the false memory theory) C. Eugene Emery Jr..
Abstract: The NOVA program on alien abductions, 'Kidnapped by UFOs?', was innovative in its attempt but quite unconvincing in its guided efforts to show how abductees can be influenced by hypnoses, leading them to embrace facts and experiences which never happened. The interview techniques employed seem to convey that if the abductees' claims matched those of other abductees, the experiences were, henceforth, judged as real. Adding to the program's dubious objectivity are observations that the show utilized the talents of well-known UFO proponents and paranormal enthusiasts.

Gjithashtu ka nje mori studimesh mbi implentimin e memorjes (krijimin e kujtimeve mbi gjera qe ne te vertete nuk kane ndodhur)thjesht nepermjet intervistave sygjeruese, mendo cfare mund te behet me hipnoze...

Shume e vertete. Eshte vene re qe nen hipnoze ( sidomos ) subjekti ne se nuk ka nje informacion te mjaftueshem per situaten qe duhet te krijoje ( keshtu duket ( po mund ndikojne edhe shume faktore te tjere )) priret t'i mbushe keto boshlleqe me informacion te sajuar......Kjo eshte dhe nje kufizim shume i trishtueshem i perdorimit te hipnozes ne kriminologji......( apo kudo tjeter ne se do te ishte per qellim nxjerrja e nje informacioni te vertete...).

Parapsikologjia & Hipnoza

Fjala parapsikologji është konceptuar qysh në vitin 1889, por është pranuar ndërkombëtarisht në dekadat e fundit. Më herët këto dukuri anglezët i quanin kërkime psikike (Psychical research), ndërsa francezët metopsi_kologji , ndërsa prof. Dr. Hans Beneder nga Univers_iteti i Frajburgut, e quajti shqisa e gjashtë.

Në mesjetë këto dukuri të pashpjegueshme i quanin magji, dhe ishin të ndaluara. Dënoheshin të gjithë ata që merreshin me to. Që nga shekulli XVI këto “feno_mene të dreqit” u quajtën okultizëm - nga latinishtja – sekret, fshehtësi, diçka e fshehtë.

Fjala parapsikologji rrjedh nga greqishtja dhe do të thotë para - pranë, psych - shpirt dhe logos - shkencë, di_t_uri, mendim.

Parapsikologjia është degë e psikologjisë, e cila me_rret me studimin e dukurive, që janë jashtë fuqisë së të kuptuarit të shqisave tona, kurse shpesh i kalojnë edhe ligjet ekzistue_se të shkencës bashkëkohore.

Enciklopedia amerikane, botuar në vitin 1973, për_m_ban një artikull mjaft të gjatë të Prof. T. Rinit, në të cilin parapsikologjia përkufizohet si pjesë e psikolo_gj_i_së. Ai paraqet historikun e parapsikologjisë, duke pa_ra_qitur shembuj bindës dhe shpjegime shkencore për këtë fushë të diturisë.

Sipas tij, parapsikologjia është diçka e psikologjisë që merret me përjetimet dhe sjelljet paranormale, siç është: telepatia, parashikimi i ngjarjeve, bioenergjia etj., të cilat janë të pashpjegueshme dhe lidhen me li_gj_et e natyrës. Për këtë arsye, ato quhen shpesh edhe pa_ra_n_o_r_m_ale, supernormale. Pra, edhe pse në to nuk ka asgjë paranormale, aludohet se i përkasin anës tjetër. Ato nuk janë veçse fenomene normale të natyrës.

Enciklopedia ruse e vitit 1975 shkruan që parapsi_k_o_logjia studion: 1) Formën e ndjeshmërisë, e cila e bën të mundur dhe e rrit aftësinë e marrjes së infor_ma_ci_o_n_e_ve që janë të pashpjegueshme nga shqisat tona orga_nike; 2) Format e përshtatshme të veprimit të krije_save të gjalla në paraqitjet e tyre që zhvillohen jashtë orga_niz_mit, pra pa forcën e muskujve.

Në Enciklopedinë franceze të vitit 1967 shkruan: “Pa_rapsikologjia është disiplinë që studion fenomene pa_ranormale, siç janë: telepatia, parashikimi, parandje_sh_mëria etj.

Shumë mashtrues janë futur dhe e kanë shkatërruar këtë fushë të diturisë, sepse shkencëtarët ia kanë kthyer shpinën duke e lënë si fushë të hapur për manipulim nga sharlatanët.

Në Enciklopedinë shqiptare nuk ka kurrfarë shëni_mesh për parapsikologjinë.

Klubi i parë i okulistëve në Ballkan u formua në Sa_rajevë në vitin 1937, me emërtimin “Lanterna ma_gica”, të cilit i printe okulisti i mirënjohur Ismet Taba_koviq.

Tek ne në Kosovë me parapsikologji merret intensi_visht një grup i autorëve nga Prizreni. Këtë grup e për_bë_jnë: Salih Basha, pionier i parapsikologjisë, Sabir Krasniqi (autor i dy librave mbi parapsikologjinë dhe hipnozën) etj.

Sipas të dhënave, sot në më se pesëdhjetë shtete stu_diohen në mënyrë shkencore dukuritë parapsikolo_gjike dhe për këtë qëllim janë formuar rreth njëqind e pesëdhjetë (150) institute për parapsikologjinë. Në ko_hën tonë kemi me mijëra libra e artikuj që janë shkruar nëpër gazeta, revista të ndryshme dhe emisione televi_zive, që flasin për këtë lëmë.

Përveç anëve pozitive që ka për shkencën, para_psi_kologjia bëhet armë e fuqishme, në qoftë se keqpër_do_r_et. Pasojat mund të jenë të paparashikueshme për nje_rëzimin. Fatkeqësisht, në shumë institute të botës sot punohet intensivisht për krijimin e një arme të tillë psi_kike, ose siç e quajnë ndryshe “gjenerator psikotro_nik”, që është i ndaluar me norma ndërkombëtare.

Supozohet se arritje më të mëdha në këtë drejtim kanë bërë SHBA-ja. Doktori i shkencave filozofike nga Rusia, Todor Diçev, thotë: “Një gjenerator i tillë ka ek_zistuar në kohën e puçit në Rusi, më 18-19 gusht 1991, në anijen e fluturakeve amerikane “Belkap”, në portin Varna, prej nga është kontrolluar mendimi psikik i tur_mës”. Ai gjithashtu thotë se M. Gorbaçov dhe B. Jel_cin janë njerëz “zombi”, siç quhen ndryshe këta njerëz, dhe janë nën ndikimin e këtij gjeneratori psikotronik.

Disa shkencëtarë mendojnë se këto kërkime janë pa vlerë, se njeriu nuk mund të ndikojë mbi njeriun tjetër nga largësia dhe të gjitha diskutimet rreth “gjeneratorit psikotronik” nuk kanë bazë. Mirëpo, me anë të ekspe_rimenteve të shumta është vërtetuar se jo vetëm secili njeri, por edhe secila qelizë e gjallë posedon aftësi për rrezatimin e informacioneve nga largësia.

Shumica e parapsikologëve parapsikologjinë e nda_jnë në disa grupe. Këto janë: hipnoza, parashikimi, telepatia, telekineza, spiritizmi, magjia, bioenergjia, ra_diestezia etj. T’i shpjegojmë këto shkurtimisht para se t’i trajtojmë nga këndvështrimi islam.

Hipnoza

Fjala hipnozë (hypnos) rrjedh nga greqishtja dhe do të thotë “gjumë”. Shoqata e Mjekëve Britanikë e për_kufizon hipnozën si “gjendje kaluese e kujdesit të zvo_gëluar të pacientit, gjendje në të cilën mund të shfa_qen paraqitje të ndryshme personale ose të provokuara nga rrethi i jashtëm”. Prof. Çarls Mater i Universitetit të Majamit, thotë: “Hipnoza është gjendje e ndry_shu_eshme e vetëdijes, të cilën e karakterizon rritja e përqe_ndrimit, rritja e relaksimit dhe rritja e sugjestivitetit”.

Në gjumë normal pacienti nuk merr përshtypjet e jashtme, ndërsa në gjumë hipnotik dëgjohen edhe pësh_përimat më të vogla. Në gjumin normal janë të spos_tuara aktivitetet mentale, ndërsa në gjumin hipnotik janë të gjallëruara.

Hipnoza ka ndikim të thellë në tërë organizmin. Në gjendje hipnotike pulsi mund të shpejtohet apo të nga_dalësohet. Gjithashtu edhe frymëmarrja dhe sistemi ne_u_rovegjetativ pësojnë ndryshime. Këto ndryshime mani_festohen me: djersitje, urinim, kollë, hiperstezi, hiper_te_nsion, kriptomenzi, amnezi etj. Për këtë qëllim hipnoza përdoret me sukses në shërimin e shumë sëmu_ndjeve psikike dhe psikosomatike, siç janë: ulcera në lu_kth në zorrën dymbëdhjetëgishtore, urinimi i pakon_trolluar etj.

Në obstretikë hipnoza ndihmon që fëmija të lindet pa dhembje, në stomatologji dhe në kirurgji për ta mu_nd_ur frikën me rastin e operimit. Hipnoza zbatohet gji_thashtu me shumë sukses në shërimin e alkoolizmit, lënien e duhanit, kundër narkomanisë etj.

Gjithashtu është mjaft i rëndësishëm fakti që njeriu hipnotik është plotësisht nën kontrollin e hipnotizuesit. Meqenëse sugjestioni në gjendje hipnotike është mjaft i rritur, kurse ndikimi i logjikës tepër i vogël (në mini_mum), hipnotikut jo vetëm se mund t’i sugjes_tionohet nënshtrimi para vullnetit të dikujt, mashtrimi i shqis_ave, por edhe t’i krijohen probleme mjaft të ndër_li_ku_a_ra. Kjo ndodh jo vetëm në gjendje hipnotike, por edhe pas zgji_mit. Ky quhet sugjestionim pashi_pnotik apo pashipnozë, dhe mund të zgjasë me vite të tëra. Kjo e bën të mundur që hipnoza të abuzohet për qëllime të ndryshme të liga, si vjedhje, mashtrime, dhunime e deri në vrasje. Gjith_a_shtu kjo mund të keqpërdoret në luftëra të ndryshme, për propagandë dhe për qëllime politike.

Sot ekzistojnë mënyra të ndryshme për të hipno_tizuar, duke filluar nga ato klasiket e deri tek substancat kimike.

Njihen tri shkallë të hipnozës:

1) Hipnoza e lehtë, që nënkupton relaksimin derisa kur vetëdija është ende e zgjuar, por mediumi i pranon sugjestionet e hipnotizuesit.

2) Hipnoza e mesme, fazë që vjen pas hipnozës së lehtë. Në këtë fazë relaksimi është më i thellë, vetëdija është ende aktive, ndërsa mediumi merr dhe i kryen të gjitha sugjestionet, por nuk bie në kundërshtim të për_gjithshëm me strukturën e personalitetit të tij.

3) Hipnoza e thellë. Në këtë hipnozë relaksimi është absolut, vetëdija është joaktive dhe mediumi i kry_en edhe sugjestionet e palogjikshme, duke iu nën_shtr_uar vu_llnetit të hipnotizuesit. Në këtë gjendje të the_llë hi_p_n_o_tike mund të arrihet edhe shtangia e plotë e trupit (katalepsia), zhdukja e plotë e dhembjes (anes_tezia), hu_mbja e plotë e ndjeshmërisë (analgezia) etj.

Në këtë gjendje, mediumit i ndodhin edhe mash_tri_me pozitive ose negative, si dhe është i mundshëm re__gresioni.

Keqpërdorimi i hipnozës

Për shkak të mundësive dhe forcës së madhe të ve_primit, hipnoza, po qe se keqpërdoret, mund të bëhet armë e fu_qish_me me pasoja të shumëfishta.

Me përdorimin e suksesshëm të narkoanalizës për hipnotizim në mjekësinë legale, u shtua interesimi për hipnozën në rrethet policore dhe filloi zbatimi i saj si mjet shumë efikas për zbulimin e së vërtetës. Ajo u quajt “serumi i së vërtetës”. Duke hipnotizuar personat për të cilët dyshohej se kishin kryer akte kriminale ose amorale (me anë të sub_sta_n_c_ave kimike dhe pa dëshirën e tyre), inspektorët pa përdorimin e dhunës, merrnin informacione të sakta për krimet e kryera.

Shpëlarja e trurit është metoda më bindëse e keq_përdorimit të hipnozës. Kjo metodë, përveç ndryshimit të qëndrimeve, mendimeve, bindjeve të personit, mu_ndëson edhe kthimin e armikut në një bashkëpu_nëtor aktiv. Dr M.T. Ormantar, anëtar i Institutit të Filadel_fisë, u mor shumë me zbatimin e hipnozës për qëllime të armatës; ai hipnotizonte ushtarët dhe në gjendje të thellë hipnotike, të përcjellë me amnezi totale, u jepte detyra të rëndësishme.

Supozohet se të gjithë funksionarët e lartë ush_tara_kë të SHBA-së dhe të paktit NATO, që kanë njohuri për materialet tepër të rëndësishme politike dhe ushta_rake, kalojnë nëpër procesin e indoktrinimit për neut_ralizimin e efektit.

Timon Liri, i cili ishte një kohë të gjatë bashkë_pu_nëtor i CIA-s, thotë se vetëm në Amerikë CIA kontr_ollon rreth 30.000 veta me anë të drogave.

Metoda të këtilla, jashtëligjore dhe antinjerëzore, u përdorën shumë sidomos në shtetet ish-socialiste. UDB-ja përdorte mënyra të tilla ndaj të burgosurve të pa_th_y_sh_ëm të kombit shqiptar, duke i paaftësuar ata për jetë normale dhe duke u shkatërruar personalitetin dhe mo_ralin e tyre.

Në kuadër të hipnozës përdoret shumë shpesh su_gjestioni pashipnotik apo pashipnoza. Ky lloj sugjes_ti_o_ni është i rëndësishëm në hipnozë, sepse veprimet rea_lizohen pas da_ljes nga gjendja e hipnozës. Ato ndikime mund të veprojnë një kohë të pacaktuar dhe varen nga sugjestionimi në kohën kur njeriu ka qenë nën ndikimin e hipnozës. Duke pasur parasysh këtë fakt, lind pyetja: A mund të detyrohen njerëzit që të kryejnë veprime që janë në kundërshtim me besimin, moralin, etikën dhe traditën religjioze të tyre me anë të hipnozës? Ka shu_më fakte dhe një literaturë të gjerë që e vërteton këtë. Stefan Cvajg, në librin e tij Shëruesi mental, përmend «rastin e Leidelbergut». Ai tregon se një grua 34 vjeçe u shërua disa vjet me anë të hipnozës dhe pastaj atë e abuzuan seksualisht, duke e shitur edhe tek të tjerët.

Me gjithë faktin se është i ndaluar nga shumë aso_ciaci_one botërore, keqpërdorimi i hipnozës ka shtrirje të madhe dhe me pasoja tepër të rënda për njerëzimin.

Pergezimet e mia!

Pune me te vertete e vlefshme! Ate qe kerkoja nga te gjithe bashkebiseduesit....nje pjesemarrje aktive.
Doja vetem te saktesoja disa gjera ( te vogla ):
1.Parapsikologjia dhe paranormalja ndryshojne vetem ne ate qe paranormalja permbledh nje numer me te madh te dukurive se sa parapsikologjia. Permbledh edhe ato qe nuk kane te bejne me psikiken e njeriut si psh: magjia, ufo-t, fantazmat, etj...
2. Nuk jam i azhornuar per 2 vitet e fundit por parapsikologjia nuk eshte nje dege e psikologjise. Di qe per kete po luftohej shume dhe ka ashtu sic the ti shume institute neper bote, nga te cilet me i rendesishmi ne shkalle boterore eshte ai i Duke University ne Durham,por akoma nuk eshte pranuar si shkence.
3. Nuk eshte e vertete qe i hipnotizuari eshte plotesisht nen pushtetin e hipnotizuesit. Teorikisht ama mund te behet. Dmth nje hipnotizues shume shume shume i mire mund te beje gati ( jo tamam gati ) gjithcka. Ama per ta sqaruar se si eshte gjendja ne nivelin praktik ia vlen te permendet fakti se gjeniu i hipnozes Erikson nuk mund te bente gjithcka me pazientet e tij. Per te gjithe te tjeret....no comment
Me kujtove qe nuk kisha vene literaturen e perdorur ( ne fakt nuk eshte se e kisha harruar por deri tani nuk po shihja ndonje interes te vecante nga pjesemarresit, sidomos per literaturen e perdorur ).

Per sa i perket 3 fazave te hipnozes une i njoh ndryshe.
1. Faza e somnolences ( vjen nga fjala gjume ). Gjendja e pacientit ne kete faze i ngjan nje dremitjeje te lehte. Ai pranon sugjestione te thjeshta por eshte akoma ndjeshem i lidhur me ambientin perreth.
2. Faza e katalepsise apo e hipotaksise. Faze me e thelle e cila karakterizohet ( sic e thote edhe emri ) nga mundesia per ti dhene pacientit poza shume te veshtira per tu mbajtur ne gjendje normale dhe ai i mban per nje kohe te gjate... psh. mund t'i vihet maja e kokes ne nje karrige dhe majat e themrave ne nje tjeter dhe hipnotizuesi mund ti hypi edhe siper dhe pacienti vazhdon ta mbaje kete pozicion per nje kohe te koniderueshme. Sugjestionet qe mund te pranohen ketu, si faze me e thelle, jane me te shumta.
3. Faza e somnambulizmit. Vete nga emri, karakterizohet nga mundesia per ta bere pacientin te ece perreth ne menyre te pavetedijshme dhe akoma nen hipnoze, te beje plot veprime te tjera si somnambul. Ne kete faze mund te shkaktohen plage ( me ane te sugjestionit ), diegie, levizje te temperatures disa grade dhe pacienti zakonisht paraqet nje amnezi ( nje humbje te kujteses ) post-hipnotike gje qe nuk e paraqet ne 2 fazat e tjera ( zakonisht ).
Kjo pervec se nuk eshte nje ndarje kategorike eshte edhe pak e vjeter ( te pakten une e kam lexuar para nja 7 vjetesh dhe ne ate moment kishte dhe nja 30 vjet qe ishte ne fuqi ). Nuk di ne se kane futur te tjera apo jo, por megjithate eshte e vlefshme per te patur nje ide kur leviz vertikalisht ne nivelet e hipnozes ( se c'ndodh ). Ne pergjithesi tani eshte ideja qe hipnoza ka shume nivele dhe sa me te thella qe te jene ato aq me shume sugjestione do te pranohen dhe aq me shume dukuri hipnotike do te ndodhin ( pervec rastit te nje gjendje shume te thelle te hipnozes qe quhet faza e vdekjes, faze kjo jo e pranuar nga i gjithe komuniteti i hipnotisteve ( kjo sepse eshte shume e veshtire te haset ). Kjo faze eshte kaq thelle sa sugjestionet e hipnotizuesit ( perfshire ketu edhe sugjestionet per te zgjuar ) refuzohen nga pazienti ).
Doja te korrigjoja nje gabim tek mesazhi im paraardhes. Tek bibliografia emri i autorit te librit Parapsicologia ( la scienca contestata ) eshte Charls ne fakt duhet te jete Richard ( kerkoj faje per gabimin ).
Gjithashtu doja te shtoja tek bibliografia Librin "Hipnoza dhe feja"
i autorit Ulvi Vehbiu ( vendodhja... biblioteke kombetare tirane ).

Cancer and the Subconscious
Yvonne Schwab
In May of 1999, I met “Cindy” for the first time. She had been diagnosed
with cancer of the lymph nodes in the throat and was concerned because her
surgeon had indicated that he was going to remove all the lymph nodes in
her throat. She had scary dreams and thoughts of her throat being cut from
one side to the other.
During the “pre talk” portion of the session, we discussed her options at
length—she could decline the surgery and let nature take its course, she
could utilize alternative health remedies, or she could use the power of her
subconscious mind to assist her in getting the best results from her surgery.
She opted for the third process. We discovered that a major part of her
concern with having the surgery was that she only had cancer in one of the
lymph nodes, yet her doctor was planning on removing them all.
She and her family had done quite a bit of research on surgeons, and found
that her doctor was one of the best in his field … and the best in the area, but
this did not help her to feel better about his lack of bedside manner.
She also had concerns about pain, and about scarring on her throat …
according to the doctor, one slip of the scalpel could eliminate her ability to
smile and “I’m a smiler”, she said.
After assisting Cindy to achieve a deep state of relaxation, I invited her
subconscious mind to become open and receptive to the positive suggestions
I was giving it.
I suggested that Cindy could trust her doctor to do the best possible job for
her, that he would only take the lymph node with the cancer in it, and then
when the surgery was complete, her body would be free and clear of all
cancer cells.
I also suggested that the incision would bleed only as appropriate to cleanse
the wound and that it would heal very quickly without scarring. I suggested
that unless there was a need for medical attention that there would be no

need for any discomfort. I also expressed that her body’s natural ability to
heal would be accelerated and that she would heal so quickly that the nurses
would be amazed by her powerful healing ability.
I repeated all of these suggestions on an audiotape that was about 15 minutes
in length and which included an induction (relaxation).
Cindy had a vacation scheduled before her surgery, so she took her tape
along and listened to it twice a day for a little over two weeks.
She returned from vacation to have her surgery, which was scheduled on a
Thursday afternoon. When she came out of the anaesthesia, she asked her
doctor how the surgery went and when she would be released from the
hospital.
He informed her that he took the lymph node with the cancer and one that
was so close to it that it was touching the cancerous node, and he left all of
the others intact. The surgery didn’t require him to go anywhere near the
muscles that control smiling, and he was pleased with the way the surgery
went.
He then told her that the soonest she would be able to go home would be on
Monday evening, yet on Sunday afternoon, I received a call from Cindy
telling me that she was home—apparently the nurses told her she was “far
too healthy to be in their hospital, and besides, they needed the bed.”
Two weeks later at her follow up visit with the surgeon, he ran some tests
and when the results came in, he declared her to be “free and clear of all
cancer cells”.
What I feel is especially wonderful about this story is that Cindy was my
very first client.
She was extremely receptive to hypnosis because she had used it 25 years
earlier to stop smoking with great success. She also was very motivated to
assist in her healing process and therefore had great results.
I look back at this session with such great gratitude to Cindy for giving me a
chance to work with her when I was a virtual novice. The results that she

achieved from doing this work were so dramatic that I knew I had found my
niche—not only a career field, but within the field itself.
A good portion of the hypnotherapy I do is for pre and post surgery, as well
as the alleviation of side affects of vigorous medical treatments such as
radiation and chemotherapy, pain management, and enhancing the childbirth
experience. All of this came out of the work I did with Cindy.
In the next case study, I’ll illustrate the success of hypnotherapy in
alleviating the side effects of radiation therapy when Cindy went through a
30-day course of treatment later in 1999.

A Case of Toxic Psychology
by
Bruce K. Stampley, MD(am), PhD, CHT
“Linda” came to see me the first time in December of 1999, referred by a
massage therapist.
In the initial interview, it became patently obvious that Linda was in serious
trouble and needed real help. Under most circumstances I would have
referred her to a state-licensed psychologist. But she was already under the
care of three medical professionals and she was not getting better. With
some trepidation, I agreed to work with her to uncover the underlying reason
or reasons for her problems.
The upside of this situation was that Linda, a very intelligent and willing
student, wanted to get better. She was a medical professional herself, steeped
in traditional allopathic philosophy and practice.
When I suggested the use of hypnosis to have a look at her “stuff”, she was
skeptical but desperate to get well. I pointed out to her that traditional
medicine was not producing the desired results, so maybe the real reasons
for her difficulties were being overlooked.
From this point, I shall let Linda tell her own story.
“Since the most worthwhile experiences that we have in life are those
that we can share and teach, I would like to tell you how I got a second
chance at living.
10 yrs ago I was hospitalized for a suicide attempt. I was diagnosed with
major depressive disorder and alcoholism and within a year it became
bipolar.
More labels were tagged on throughout the last few years like
‘borderline personality’ and ‘PTSD’.


I had been taking multiple medications over the past 10 yrs and the
numbers kept growing. Doctors would prescribe one medication for the
symptom and two more for the side effects.
Eventually the count was up to 140 pills per week. Sleep was always
chemically induced. I had chronic diarrhoea for 7 years and I was
having difficulty holding anything in my stomach.
I was sick, missing a lot of work, and becoming more and more
depressed. Despite conventional psychotherapy, I just couldn't imagine
going on much longer feeling like this.
I was told about a hypnotist by a friend. I was a little curious but no
matter how "hoaky" I thought this might be, I was getting desperate.
In January of 2000 I went to see Dr. Bruce Stampley. Skeptical as I
always am, I was very impressed with his ability to make me relax early
on.
I was obviously over-medicated but I could not get any of my own
doctors to consider letting me detox without hospitalization.
Dr Bruce believed he could detox me in two weeks without
hospitalization and was willing to see me through the battle.
With the use of some of his herbal medications and intense daily
hypnosis, I am proud to say I am drug free and feeling better about
myself than I ever have.
We worked out some difficult childhood problems that I had deeply
buried in my mind and had all but forgotten. I can now handle these
memories and get on with my life as I never thought possible.
For the first time I actually feel that I am in charge of my own life. What
freedom that has given me. Dr Bruce Stampley has given me the
greatest gift of all .... he has given me a new life and I will be eternally
grateful.
I hope that my story will touch someone else in trouble and give them
hope that they too may be set free from their own demons. Hypnosis and
alternative therapy have proved to be priceless for me.”

It now the Spring of 2003 and Linda is still not taking any medications and
has lost 40 pounds. She has changed from a dejected, defeated individual
into an outgoing, attractive and happy young woman.
She is no longer a client, but I have kept close track of her. Needless to say, I
am professionally very pleased that we were able to resolve some of her
problems.
The two things that helped her make this wonderful change were the belief
that she could get well and the tremendous power of the mind/body
connection to overcome huge obstacles through understanding and using that
power to effect changes even at the cellular level.

Past-Life Regression
Barrie Anson
Some years ago I was visited by a man in his early 30's, who asked if I could
help him to relax and to overcome his occasional stammer.
He was working as a builder at the time. He had an interest in spiritual
matters and asked if I would be willing to regress him to a past life.
Over a period of 3 months he visited me 3 times and in each of these visits
he was able to respond well to hypnotherapy and each time managed to give
a good description of what we assumed to be a past life experience.
In the third session, he described a past life as a carpenter, living in northern
Italy. In that life he was aged about 31, married to a very pretty wife, with
one daughter aged about 4.
He described working on an Abbey when he fell off the wooden scaffolding
and broke his legs very badly. He was able to read the date 1687 on that
building.
Following the accident, his legs were quite crippled, but he managed to get
about with the use of a crude sort of 'invalid carriage' and with the use of
splints made of wood and leather. He was still able to make a living carving
wood and so on and the Abbey authorities made sure that he had adequate
work.
That particular life ended some years later at about age 38 or 39 when he
suffered, along with many other people, from fever, boils and so on. He
believed it was plague that infected many others at that time.
Some days after the third session, my client telephoned to say
that his business partner in their building business had remarked, quite
spontaneously, that he had noticed my client walking around high parts of
the construction, on scaffolding and so on, with complete confidence.
Previously he had been noticeably nervous when moving around on top of
building constructions. The business partner had no knowledge of his
hypnotic sessions or regression interludes.


It would seem that, real or imagined, reviewing the session illustrating his
accident and injury and subsequent ability to make a living in a past life, had
a powerful effect on his present life.

Child’s Play: Overeating
Maurice Kouguell, Ph.D., BCETS.
Client's Name: “Tina”
Introduction:
Tina came to see me at the recommendation of a colleague who wanted her
regressed to determine the origin of her overeating.
At the first session, Tina was apprehensive about having her questions
answered fully, completely, totally. Also it was determined at that point, that
her memory was extremely poor. She had hardly any recollection of
childhood memories. She had hardly any memories of past friendships or
events.
At this time, she is a young woman in her mid-twenties, about 80 pounds
overweight. She frequently told me during this first session that my recliner
chair reminded her of her dentist's chair. This brought forth all kinds of fears
connected with that.
She was hypnotized during the first session using the progressive relaxation
method. It was felt that, for her, a highly structured method would be best. It
was interesting to note that she had hardly any visual or auditory abilities in
her imagination.
I decided to use memories connected to tastes and smells since she was so
overweight and I felt that food would be an important thing to her and that
she might thus have a clearer association.
Tina was taken very deeply at her first hypnotic session and post-hypnotic
suggestion was given to her that every day her memory would improve ...
every day she would be able to remember events that had happened in her
immediate past, as well as in her childhood.
She was also given the suggestion that when she returned for her next
session, she would be able to remember clearly incidents that had happened
in her childhood. Tina was also asked to bring to her next session her baby
pictures or a family album.


The following passage is a verbatim excerpt from the second session. The
transcript begins after the first few minutes of talking to Tina and the
transcript ends shortly after the connection is made between a precipitating
experience and her overweight condition
Session Transcript
Tina: I must have been 6 or 7 at the wedding...
MK: Ok, that one you remember..., that came back to you rather well. So
you can remember..., well, today you remember better because at the last
session I left you with the suggestion that you will remember even better.
Now... the wall that you built around yourself...started at about what age?
Because there is a discrepancy between that...
Tina: A year and a half before...
MK: In your baby pictures you were a little bit pudgy... as babies are
especially in the Middle East ... you know a child who is loved...I know
because this is part of my culture also..., a child who is loved is very well
fed, so this was not a wall, this was somebody... your mother...who loved
you... most likely and she made sure that you were very well fed so that
everyone would think what a good person she is.
Tina: When I was younger I used to be in boarding school ...so my mother
said she used to feel guilty because I used to cry all the time and I did not
want to come out and she used to buy me a lot of things I liked. I liked
concentrated milk a lot...the one you could eat with a spoon so she used to
buy that a lot. As far as the hot peppers ... it was just a form of punishment ...
but that has nothing to do with my weight... If I did something bad she used
to put hot peppers in my mouth.
MK: That was over there...
Tina: Yes...
MK: ..Which by the way is not uncommon. You know, I am glad that both
of us grew up in the same part of the world. It was either mustard or soap,
mustard was used quite often ... and the evaporated milk. That was nice,
luscious ... that was also something that for some reason when you poured it


it was like molasses ... OK, now your pictures don't show you as being
overweight, at least no more than most well-loved children. I don't see that
in your photographs, unless I'm wrong. Do you see yourself as being fat ...
overweight in your pictures?
Tina: Well ... I say, let's say ... from 6 years old on ... I remember other
children making fun of me.
MK: So until 6 years of age ...
Tina: I would say ... I don't remember anyone making fun of me before that.
I don't remember ever being told or having any problems with my mother
before then.
MK: Until you were six. You know what is happening today?
Tina: (laughing) I don't know ...
MK: You have some past memories ... you remembered nothing last session
... it came back. You know what is happening also, whatever may have
frightened you or triggered off in you the need to be isolated through extra
weight ... may be at this point in your life so far away that you can handle it.
So I think you can talk about it. So shall we go into hypnosis? Do you feel
comfortable today? It does not remind you of a dentist's chair today? You're
beginning to like it ...?
OK, today we'll do it slightly differently. A slightly different method. I will
accelerate your hypnosis and also you will go into a deeper trance.
Tina: Deeper?
MK: Deeper. But you know that is a controllable thing and as you know I
am watching you all the time and if there are signs that you are
uncomfortable, I will go easy.
There is no rush.
Tina: I have nothing to say about what has been going on so far, but I still
feel that somehow I am not being hypnotized and that I am able to think


while you are talking to me. Are you supposed to think? Can you think?
MK: Darn right. You better think. Absolutely.
Tina: You know there are certain things that come to you automatically. But
you know like the last time when I had to go to the ladies room, I would
think like when you were talking to me that “I have to go.”
MK: Do you have to go now?
Tina: No. No. (laughter) So I am just wondering ...
MK: What you are experiencing is shared with many people who feel that
hypnosis is something miraculous — so magical — it's not. You know you
have had all the signs ... tingling in your arms or legs — the distortion of
time element — these are all signs that you are coming here for ... you are
coming here for us to go back in time because you are hypnotized but your
concept of being hypnotized is different to what actually is.
You make yourself feel that it is not working. But it is working. Your
memories of past events ... the first time here you actually had no
recollection of anything ... do you remember the first time … you
remembered that you came to the States at a certain age ... that was all you
could remember.
OK, you also remembered a bit better the two girls at one of your parties —
the 16th birthday party do you remember? OK, today we are going back to
the age of 6. We are going to do that. That was your second grade. Before
we start, do you remember your second grade at all? Anything about it?
Tina: I remember where I was ...
MK: Let me help you. Your best memory is not your visual memory ...
we've determined that. You can experience how it felt sitting at a desk ... the
climate, the weather, the smells around you, the taste of some foods in class
or at home and then we'll bring it back to the visual memory. Do you follow
me? So you are about 7 or 8 ...
Tina: 6 ... I went to the first grade at 5.


MK: OK, so this is the year that we are interested in, second grade. Think of
the school, remember how it felt in school.
Were you comfortable going to class? Relaxed? Do you remember the
entrance to the school building?
Tina: Yeah ...
MK: OK where's your classroom. To the left ... straight-ahead is there a
bell?
Tina: To the right ...
MK: Good for you ... that's great ... is there some kind of a bell or whistle to
get you kids to line up?
Tina: A bell ...
MK: What kind of bell is that? What does it sound like?
Tina: It's not an electrical bell ... not like that ... it's ...
MK: Like a cow bell ...?
Tina: That's it, yeah.
MK: You remember how it sounded ... more or less but you remember the
bell.
Do you remember lining up to go to class ... or you just went in like that?
Tina: We used to ... be outside and we prayed first ... it was a Catholic
convent school.
MK: So you wore a uniform.
Tina: Yeah ...
MK: Describe it.


Tina: I have a photograph ...
MK: No... No... Describe it to me.
Tina: White shirt ... and ... let me see ... a black straight uniform like a
jumper. A tie, a stick pin ...
MK: Some kind of a hat if you went to Catholic school ...
Tina: Yes ... a beret.
MK: O.K.
Tina: White socks, bobby socks.
MK: Did you have some kind of break ... morning or afternoon?
Tina: I think at noon.
MK: What did you eat? What was your favorite snack?
Tina: (laughter)... ooh ... Cheese and olive pie ... like cheese bread and olive
bread actually. Olives stuck in it.
MK: You look good today ... You look relaxed ... you don't look worried.
You see, the suggestions of last week are working ... you seem relaxed ...
you see we don't even have to go into hypnosis ... you remember so much.
Do you remember the first couple of sessions? You remembered nothing.
O.K. Now ... the reason we are going into hypnosis is that things are going
to become very vivid.
You may not even have to go into a deep trance. Things will become much
clearer in your mind. O.K.? So we're going to do something different today.
O.K.?
Tina: O.K.
MK: You are going to start with your eyes open. Do you mind?


Tina: No ... I just hope I can do it.
MK: Of course you'll do it . . . no question about it ... I am going to come
over to you and I would prefer for you to just look at my forehead ... and as
you look your eyes are becoming heavier and heavier. You feel like closing
them ... You are fighting sleep already but keep them open.
I am going to count to three ... keep them open. One... two... two... Keep
them open. They are becoming heavy … so very heavy ... now your head is
becoming so very heavy ... so very heavy ... so very heavy ... that it is
beginning to fall forward ... so heavy ... so very heavy... so very heavy that
you can hardly hold it up. One ... two ... three ... so heavy, so very heavy ...
your head is falling forward and I am now going to bring your head back ...
You're in a deep trance and I am going to place my hand on your forehead
and as I do, you will be totally relaxed. You are totally deep in hypnosis.
You will be in a totally deep comfortable state of hypnosis ... very deep ...
very relaxed ... completely relaxed... so completely at ease. Just very
relaxed.
My voice is very clear ... you hear everything I say to you ... it's crystal clear
… your memory is going to become sharper and sharper … sharper and
sharper ... and we are going to go back in time … to a time when you were
much much younger and we will try to recapture some experiences you have
had.
Now you are much older and whatever happened to you is very far away.
There is nothing that happened then that can scare you now … looking at the
past ... you will remember everything very clearly ... and I will talk to you
and you will be able to answer me because you are hearing everything I say
very clearly ... completely clearly ... although once in a while you might be
fighting sleep ... you will stay awake and alert with your eyes closed so that
you will hear everything that I am saying ... everything ... completely,
everything ... your memory will become sharper... your visual memory will
become so much sharper and after this experience is over you will come out
of it completely relieved and completely relaxed ... feeling so good that
whatever happened is all over ... totally relaxed ... so very comfortable ...
feeling so good ... feeling so at ease ... so completely at ease ...


O.K. I am going to talk to you at this point ... whatever has happened … has
happened a long time ago and as you answer me … just answer me in a
comfortable voice without too much stress because I'd like you to remain
relaxed and calm.
Can you hear me? Good ... very good. You are now beginning to feel
smaller and smaller ... you feel much younger going back in time and now ...
you are in your early teens and you find yourself in another country. Can
you picture that, Tina?
Tina: Yes.
MK: Good. Where are you now? What country are you in?
Tina: Cyprus.
MK: Very nice. O.K., we'll just choose an age. You're now 12 years old.
Getting younger ... You're now 11 years old ... now 10 years old ... Can you
remember anything at the age of 10? O.K. Tell me anything that you can
about the time when you were 10 years old.
Tina: ... school, classrooms ...
MK: It's coming back. You can remember … very good. And now for about
4 years or so ... 4 or 5 years ... friends have been teasing you about your
weight. Do you remember how it felt? How did you feel. Were you angry?
Tina: Nervous.
MK: Could you do anything about it?
Tina: No...
MK: You are getting younger ... and now you are 10 years old. Things are
going by very fast in your mind ... so very fast. Now you are down to 9
years.
O.K. Now you are 8 years old. You have now been putting on weight for 2
years and you seem to remember very vaguely ... you are not sure if it is
your memory or someone else ... that you have been putting that weight


around you to protect yourself from possible emotional hurt ... you
remember that feeling? At the age of 8 already becoming overweight?
Outstanding? Do you remember that? ...
O.K. Now you're 7... now we take you back to the time when you were 6
years of age ... whatever happened Tina happened a long time ago. Very
long ago so no matter what happened when you talk about it ... it can no
longer hurt you ... for it's part of another life ... far away ... it's another
continent ... it's almost like another life ... so it's very safe now to talk about
it, completely safe.
Just give me some clue as to where you are ... you're 6 years old. Just any
place that comes to your mind. Where are you?
Tina: In the yard.
MK: In the yard in the school? O.K. Who else is around you? What's
happening?
Tina: (pause) ... I don't remember. My doll was broken.
MK: You'll hear my voice moving because I am going to sit closer to you ...
I am having a little difficult time hearing you. You'll tell me again ... your
doll did what?
Tina: My doll was broken
MK: Your doll was broken. How did you feel? Did you cry?
Tina: Yes ... the doll could not talk any longer.
MK: How did it break?
Tina: I left it in the rain.
MK: You left it in the rain? Were you scared? You were responsible for the
doll? ...What happened? Were you punished?
Tina: Got another one.


MK: You got another one? You are going to talk about feelings now. For
most children, a doll is a real person ... isn't it.
It's a bit like you being responsible for making that doll a very sick person.
And when a person has a friend who is sick, one needs to have somebody
who understands seeing that you lost a friend to sickness. You must have
found yourself very much alone. What did you do to make you happy?
Tina: I was crying ...
MK: You were crying for a long time? ... a long time ... you sound very
much alone. What did you do later to make you feel better?
Tina: Went to sleep.
MK: How long were you sad. A long time? Sometimes sadness and anger go
together. You were about to say something ... go ahead ...
Tina: I didn't want to stay in school.
MK: How did your parents handle you?
Tina: I didn't want to go to school. They left me there.
MK: They brought you to school and left you there. What did you do?
Tina: Stayed there.
MK: What did the teachers do?
Tina: Tried to be nice to me.
MK: You must have felt terrible on that day. How about the next day? You
went to school?
Tina: I missed...
MK: You missed...
Tina: My mother.


MK: Do you remember what at that time made you feel secure?
Tina: Yes ... I slept with my girlfriend ...
MK: Sometimes when one feels very lonely and rejected one tends to start
eating ... eating a lot ... Did you eat sometimes in the common dining room?
Can you see yourself now ... looking at yourself in the past ... Can you
remember beginning to eat more than most of the other girls in the class?
Tina: I ate more at lunch time ... after school ... at night ... by myself.
MK: Can you hear me ... now looking back from the present time to those
days ... beginning to get comments from your friends and your parents and
relatives about your weight ... can you remember. Can you remember your
reactions towards them ... at that time ... what did you do?
Who loved you more than anyone else?
Tina: I think my mother ...
MK: What did she do about it?
Tina: She used to buy me things. Food.
MK: Let's go back in time again ... the day that your doll broke ... to that day
... it's night time ... now you mentioned that the doll spoke ... do you
remember ... it was a toy doll ...was it one of those dolls that spoke and the
voice came out of its stomach?
Tina: It was a voice box.
MK: It was a voice box. About where?
Tina: Between the shoulders ... you pulled a string.
MK: What did it say?
Tina: "I love you, Mommy."
MK: I love you, Mommy. You know, as a child ... a doll is almost real, you


know that … do you remember that ... like a real child ... and in some ways,
in many ways ... you were her mother ... and she loved you.
You must have felt terrible when you confused the doll with a real child and
felt responsible for such a terrible accident. It was just a doll, wasn't it? Still,
it was more than a doll for you ...
In a few minutes I am going to reawaken you and you are going to feel
completely relaxed and very comfortable — and you will remember
everything that we have talked about. And you will also remember that what
happened was long time ago and then you and I are going to discuss your
feelings, at that time.
We will take all the time we need and when you come out of hypnosis you
will be able to remember to put those memories way back, way back and
you will be able to live with yourself and you will have sympathy and
compassion but you will be very clear about the source of the difficulty ...
and the need you felt in the past for isolation by gaining weight.
So I am going to bring you out of hypnosis very slowly. I am going to count
from 1 to 5. On the count of 5 you will open your eyes, just take your time
and get reoriented. Take all the time you need.
Open your eyes on the count of 5. You will feel marvelous ... completely
rested ... I am now going to deepen your hypnosis by counting down from 5
to 1. On the count of 1 you will be very deep in hypnosis ... I am going to
start counting down ... deeper ... 5 ... deeper ... you are feeling so good ... 4
... deeper ... you are feeling so good … so comfortable ... so relaxed ... way
down ... 3 ... 2 ... and feeling so comfortable and so relaxed ... and 1 ...
feeling so good ... so relaxed.
In a few seconds you will find all your energy back ... and I will now bring
you out of hypnosis very slowly, very gradually ... I am going to count from
1 to 5 and on the count of 5 you will open your eyes, you will feel great ...
and you'll be surprised how good these few moments of total relaxation feel.
1 ... 2 … your legs and arms are heavy but you can feel the circulation
coming back ... 3 ... your whole body is waking up ... you're becoming
clearer and ... 4 ... and 5 … open your eyes very slowly … feeling so good
and so relaxed ... take your time ... you're back in the present ... you're in my
office ... and I'm sitting across from you ... take your time ... we'll talk in a


few seconds, your arms and legs are going to feel lighter as you come out of
hypnosis very gradually ... feels good? Very relaxed...
