Hypnosis and breast enlargement

The average Filipino’s exposure to hypnosis is with a stage magician or entertainer who hypnotizes a subject, usually a woman, by dangling a pendulum in front of her, and making her body stiff or rigid.

While in that rigid state, the woman is carried by two assistants who carefully lay her head on one chair and her feet on another chair.

The sleeping woman’s body stays rigid and does not fall. Then the magician walks on top of her stomach without her exhibiting any discomfort and pain.

Afterwards he wakes her up and she does not remember anything that transpired. She is completely unhurt.

In another common demonstration, a hypnotist makes a subject forget a certain number and then makes the subject count while he is awake.

The subject is puzzled why he cannot remember or say that particular number the hypnotist told him to forget. When the suggestion is removed, the subject is then able to recall the number.

Medical tool

Much less commonly known, however, is the use of hypnosis in medicine. In some countries abroad, dental extraction or even surgical operation has been performed while the patient is under hypnosis. No anesthetic is used. Yet the patient feels no pain at all.

Another branch of this practice is called Forensic Hypnosis. This is used in crime detection and resolution. A victim or a witness to a crime is hypnotized to recall a detail that he/she does not remember in the waking state.

Under hypnosis, the forgotten detail is recalled completely and the crime is solved.

Hypnosis has also been successfully used to heal warts and an ugly and incurable skin disease called “fish skin disease.”

Here is a report on how a British doctor cured a 16-year-old boy’s congenital and incurable fish skin disease through hypnosis.

“In the boy’s first session under hypnosis, the doctor, A.C. Mason, told him to focus on his left arm and to see the skin becoming normal. In five days the hardened layer of skin on the left arm softened and fell off.

“During succeeding sessions the improvements were dramatic and rapid. Both arms cleared, 90 percent of the skin on the boy’s back cleared, 50 to 70 percent of the skin on his buttocks, thighs and legs cleared.

“Then there were no further changes, despite repeated sessions of hypnosis. For whatever reason, the treatment had run its course.”

Mason’s unbelievable results were published in the British Medical Journal and attracted a lot of attention. Three doctors investigated and confirmed Mason’s reported results.

Not unique

Theodore Barber was a psychologist who investigated the phenomenon of hypnosis for many years. He considered hypnosis as simply a “heightened state of suggestibility” and not a unique state of consciousness as proposed by other researchers.

By suggestion, Barber meant, “a state in which individuals give full credence to statements they hear about themselves and their capacities.”

According to Barber, there are some people who do not need an actual past experience “to evoke precise physical changes in their bodies.” It is enough that they have good imagination and believe the hypnotist’s suggestions.

For example, he showed that a hypnotized subject could reduce the blood flow after tooth extraction by 65 percent less compared to non-hypnotized patients.

So what else can hypnosis do? Many Filipino women will like the answer to this: It can enlarge breasts of women! That is right.

Barber reported that a total of 70 women, using a hypnotic suggestion, “increased their breast sizes an average of 1¼ inches in 12 weeks.”

How did they do it?

“The women were told to imagine warm water flowing over their breasts or warm towels covering them or the sun or a heat lamp shining on them, and to imagine that their breasts are becoming warm, tingling, pulsating and that they are growing. They were instructed to give themselves these suggestions during sessions of self-hypnosis at home.”
And their breasts enlarged.

However, not all suggestions succeed in inducing physical changes in the body. The subjects must firmly believe in the suggestions made to make them work and they must be able to slow down their brain waves to the alpha level, a meditative and relaxed state.

In my inner mind development classes, I suggest that visualization for health purposes be done for at least 15 minutes, three times a day for best results.
I have not yet tried using hypnosis, suggestion, or visualization on my female students for the purpose of breast enlargement, but maybe this is one application worth experimenting with.
