     In hypnosis all of your senses, sight, hearing, smell, taste, sensations, strength and so on are enhanced approximately 15%.
 

     It is documented that the ability of hypnosis to increase emotional responses, also serves to release testosterone in the body, aiding muscular development.  It as been found that all senses are improved an average of approximately 15% while in hypnosis.

     Ultimately it is the mind that controls muscle, this includes the delivery of electrical impulses that signals the muscle to work. Research shows that this stage lights up identical parts of the brain that would be energized if you were actually working out.

     During hypnosis the brain’s Hypothalamus releases neurotransmitters that command the pituitary gland to release development hormones. The Endocrine system is the system that initiates the changes that occurred during puberty.

SPORTS PERFORMANCE

    The 'will' always breaks before muscle (assuming the muscle is adequately warmed up). Therefore, with good direction you can use hypnosis to intensify your training session to go far beyond ones usual level of pain threshold.

     Whatever your sport or activity, hypnosis can help you to enhance it.  Whether you require more focus, strength, coordination or energy, let us help you to unlock your inner potential . . .

    A recent Wall Street Journal article (February 11, 2002) brings recognition to the field of hypnotherapy. Bronze medal Olympic champion Adam Malysz used hypnosis for his ski jump victory: "And before ascending the ramp and lurching down that icy slide in the 90 meter event, he descended an imaginary staircase-20 slow deep steps into a trance."

     The Soviets and Eastern block countries have used hypnosis much longer than other countries for sports enhancement. Eleven Hypnotherapists accompanied the Russian Olympic team in 1956.

     On the evening of June 2^nd 2002 the L.A. Lakers beat the Sacramento Kings in overtime in the 7^th game of the Western Conference Championship.  After the game coach Phil Jackson credited his morning practice of self-hypnosis, meditation, and visualization with giving the  Lakers the belief that they could win. Coach Jackson insists that the Chicago Bulls practiced daily self-hypnosis when he coached Michael Jordon and the Bulls to their 6 NBA Championships.

     It is well known among golfers that much of the score depends on how a golfer thinks. Ben Hogan says, "Golf is twenty percent technique and eighty percent mental."  Jack Nicklaus has stated many times that he believes that golf is 90% mental preparation and only 10% skill. He prepares for matches by visualizing problem putts and mentally rehearsing how he will execute each drive.

     Boxer Ken Norton has used hypnosis training before his famous victory over Mohammed Ali. That was the fight in which he broke Ali’s jaw. Mark McGuire uses hypnosis to help him relax. Even Tiger Woods is believed to have done extensive hypnosis and meditation and continues to use a hypnotic trigger to focus his mind.
