Hypnotherapy & Beyond:‘ Surrogate Healing’
Hypnotherapy & Beyond:‘ Surrogate Healing’
‘ We are One’- is the common message that resonates at the core of nearly all philosophical and religious schools of thought. The concept has taken a new meaning in today’ s modern world view of Quantum Physics, which talks about‘ All that Is’, in terms of Energy. Likewise the concept of‘ Universal Consciousness’, too gets a more solid ground of logical understanding, once we view everything material or immaterial, visible or invisible, perceived or unperceived as Energy.
Now for the hypnotherapist, who work with‘ The Sub-conscious’ or‘ The Higher-self’ to resolve issues and heal the maladies of‘ Conscious Perception’, this‘ Connection’ of‘ Oneness’, opens an amazing dimension of exploration and healing. It gives us the direction to‘ Tap-in’ the Consciousness of one, by‘ Tapping-into’ in the Consciousness of another.
Simply put, this premise of Oneness- that we all are part of the‘ One’ and‘ Our Consciousness is Connected’ gives us the option to‘ Reach-out’ to clients who can’ t directly be the part of a hypnotherapy session, by using a‘ Surrogate’ – someone who can be part of a session, to become the‘ Medium’ to‘ Reach-out’ the client, who actually needs to be healed.
In-principle anyone can be a Surrogate, to‘ Reach-out’ anyone, whom we intend to engage-with for resolution of an issue or healing, but ideally a trained hypnotherapist can choose to become the Surrogate and work with another hypnotherapist for the session, or else we can also work with someone like a family member or a close friend etc. i. e. someone who is emotionally and mentally close to the client, can undergo a session as the Surrogate, in place of the client.
‘ Surrogate Healing’, thus becomes an amazing modality of hypnotherapy for working with children or clients who due to any reason like old age, medical condition, physical distance etc. can’ t themselves be present for the sessions themselves.
