When you do not pay attention to your natural rhythms of activity and rest you are in danger of falling into stress. Your mind and body needs a chance to build up its supplies of available energy -to clear up the backlog of unfinished business and gear up for another hour and a half of good work, play and health. The Ultradian Healing Response allows you to optimize your health as well as your performance and creativity. I believe that hypnosis as well as most other holistic approaches to healing are actually utilizing the ultradian healing response without knowing it. When the hypnotherapist tells you to relax, get comfortable an focus inward to go into a healing trance, he is actually entraining your natural ultradian healing response.
Ultradian rhythms are highly flexible and change easily in response to environmental demands.
Ultradian rhythms are especially sensitive and responsive to psychosocial cues. If there is a life emergency, for example, you are immediatly aroused emotionally. This emotional arousal immediately shifts your ultradian rhythms to a peak of heithtened activity. I will be discussing and illustrating with practical demonstrations how therapists can facilitate such healing with new approaches to hypnotherapy. I hope to also present this new view of how we can all learn to use our natural ultradian healing response every hour and a half through out the day as a very easy form of self-hypnosis.
