Hypnosis for MS

Thanks for keeping us up to date with your daughter's MS and how hypnosis is helping her to make it better.

I know that you'll be able to use your creativity to come up with just the right techniques to have her feeling great in no time!

You may wish to do a LOT of reframing with her... Reframe the whole thing as a positive. Maybe she is not able to function normally, but that gives her a chance to truly get in touch with a part of her mind that most of us don't have available. This means that she can be more creative, and might even find herself able to do things that other people just can't do.

The significant problems we face in life are really challenges in disguise - building blocks for us to grow up on. Without the building blocks we wouldn't be able to become great, so it's important to recognize that ... "Every adversity holds the seed of an equal or greater benefit!"

And so if she is going through some of the most challenging tests of her life, maybe it is to build up her mental fortitude to the point where she is ready to see the truth of the world and to be a visionary for others.

Do you see the frames? These are very important. Reframe it all as positive.

My hallucination is that you are all caught up in her shared reality, and that what she has is truly a gift in disguise, but no one has realized it yet. Will you be the first one to notice just how great of a gift it can be for her to draw together all of the love in your family and to centralize it and to bring you all closer and more alive so that something even more majestic can be created?

Thank you Taylor for your reply, since she was diagnosed I have made sure that she kept a positive attitude even without hypnosis. I raised her to be positive in her outlook on life. When she started to experience severe decline three years ago, I started studying therapy using hypnosis that I already knew how to do. The first thing I gave her was pain and anxiety management skills, and also reaffirmed her positive outlook. Marcia has given me some really good suggestions and I am in the process of writing a script to help her regain the feelings of good health and hopefully increased energy, and perhaps some healing. Catherine also suggested that we find a counselor to help her with issues that I, as a father cannot help. I thank you one and all for your input and hope the suggestions keep coming. I will keep you all informed of our progress and how we achieved it. I may post the script before I use it to see if anyone would like to comment. God Bless you all.

Can you post that file as a word or text document please so that I can read it. I have a friend with MS that I want to start working with as well. I will be sure to share any experiences and information I get regarding this issue.

Pretalk
Induction
Deepener
Regression
Today is mm/dd/yyyy, that is what we call the present for this session
And we are at your home
I want you to imagine you are going back in time
Go back to the time before your daughters conception
20 years ago
Before the onslaught of MS
You will not be afraid or nervous about anything that is going on
If you become anxious, simply say “return to present” and you will come back to the present here in your home

Now remember how it felt to be a waitress and bartender
Remember how your energy level felt
Remember how you could keep orders straight in your mind

(repeat three times)
Remember how healthy you felt
You were full of life and energy and enthusiasm
Nothing but positive feelings
Feel that healthy glow now, and keep that feeling
(pause)
Your vision was good, keep that feeling
(pause)
You could smell things as they were, keep that feeling
(pause)
Your sense of touch was at a peak, keep that feeling
(pause)
You were full of energy, keep that feeling
(pause)
You hearing was acute, keep that feeling
(pause)
Your balance was excellent, keep that feeling
(pause)
Your memory was perfect, keep that feeling
(pause)
Keep all these feelings with you as we travel to the present
You are moving forward in time now, to the present
As you move forward bring all those feelings with you
You will find that it is easy to carry those feeling with you
On the count of three you will be in the present, feeling wonderful and confident, and in a profoundly deep trance
One
Two
Three
You are now here with me in the present mm/dd/yyyy at your home

Now imagine that there is a room in your body
This is the room where we will put all the ills in your body
Imagine that all the ills in your body are a color, the color, a sickly green
Move all the sickly green ills into the room
Take as much time as you need and tell me when you are finished

Now you will find a vacuum in the room
Use the vacuum to remove all the ugly sickly green that are your ills and bad feelings
Get every nook and cranny until it is completely clean
Tell me when you are done
Very good

Now imagine that there is a river of life force of good health that is heavenly blue in color
It is filling the room to overflowing
Let it overflow into your entire body
Into every molecule of your body bringing optimum health
When you are full of this heathy heavenly blue color tell me
Ver y good

Now we are going to take a nice stroll
Imagine you are strolling through the countryside and woods to a lovely pond
Everything is lush and beautiful
You arrive at the pond
It is calm and deep blue
You are feeling adventurous and decide to take a nice swim
You just relax and float your cares away
At the bottom of the pond you find a wondrous present that nature has given you
This is a present for your mind and you will keep it in your mind
Tell me what it is
(wait for a response)
Whenever you are feeling low in mind or body, remember this wondrous present
It will take you back to this feeling you have now
To this session we have done today

Awakener
Now I’m going to count to 10
Each number will bring you more and more awake
When you are awake you will be alert and feeling wonderful and rested
1
2
3 becoming more awake
4
5 even more awake
6
7 bring all those good feelings with you
8 remember the feeling of good health
9 almost awake
10 wide awake and feeling wonderful and healthy
completely awake and alert with good feeling in your body and your mind



Ihope that you can read it now

Hi Tomb,

First of all, I can completely relate to your situation as my wife has M.S. as well and she is only 27. It has also been hard on us as well as she is going through most of the stuff you describe above. I have found Hypnosis to work quite well with M.S. and I'm glad you were willing to share your story. Thanks for the stuff you posted as well as I'm sure it can help others.

Hey Joshua,
I found a site that stresses diet called " Eat to Beat MS " and we will also let you know if the things they write about have any effect. If it wouldn't be to much trouble could you post some of the suggestions you use that seem to be most effective, as I'm going to start doing sessions with her next week using an edited version of what I posted. We may be able to help our own people and others we don't know.
Thanks for the reply
Tom B

have you tried parts therapy?

Thanks for the response, Adam. I have used some the tenets of parts therapy, but i am not well versed in the technique. It would help tremendously if you could give me a few pointers. She is doing better for the time being having gotten back on Avonex. Her boyfriend is needle shy so I have to do her shots once a week. When something like MS comes at you, you try everything that is available. She is the light of my life as well as everyone she has touched, if love could stop MS, she would be completely healed.
