Spontaneous remission is an enigmatic recovery from an illness. The
sudden healing is mysterious because it happens without warning and
without any specific medical treatment. The spontaneity of the
reduction of symptoms is surprising but the patient welcomes it and
those involved in the case do as well.
The Placebo Effect
The mind is a powerful place that offers healing through thought
processes. You may be familiar with experiments that suggest that the
placebo effect works for many people, similar to spontaneous
remission. The experiments are relatively simple. They consist of two
groups of participants.
One group takes medication for their medical conditions while the
other group takes placebos. The second group believes that they are
taking medication. Many of the people in the second group feel better
and their symptoms lessen even though they are taking placebos.
This demonstrates that the mind can heal the body to a certain degree.
Using self-hypnosis to help the healing process is an ideal
complementary approach to medical interventions. The mind works with
the healing rather than against the illness. This may explain somewhat
of how spontaneous remission works in your recovery from illness.
Reactive Mental States
Your mind can work for or against something. When you are dealing with
illness, you may focus your mind on the symptoms of the condition.
Your thoughts dwell on how bad you feel. Your anxiety and discomfort
swell as your emotions begin to take over.
Your emotional responses can lead to physical responses that have
adverse effects on the body. This can make healing difficult because
you are in a reactive mental state that is focused against illness
rather than for healing. This process works against your recovery.
Proactive Mental States
When you put your focus on healing rather than illness, you foster
healing. Thoughts about sickness can make you sicker because this is
where your energy goes. Moving your energy in the direction of healing
is proactive and it fosters good feelings and better health.
Creating a proactive mental state is very difficult when you are in
the throes of an illness. It is hard to focus on healing when you are
in pain. However, this can be controlled as well. Self-hypnosis helps
you gain control to move your energy into a healing mode.
Spontaneous Remission with the Support Of Self-Hypnosis
You can achieve great results by using self-hypnosis to foster
spontaneous remission and healing. This is an ideal complementary
approach to your medical interventions determined by your physician.
The self-hypnosis process guides you to put your energy and thoughts
toward healing and spontaneous remission rather than on illness. Your
medications and other medical interventions in your treatment program
work better when you are relaxed, calm and positive that you will get
better.
Serious medical conditions require serious medical help. You can
supplement your recovery program with self-hypnosis to maximize
results. Your proactive mental state is conducive to spontaneous
remission and healing.
