Hi, I have looked into meditation practitioner's brainwaves before.
It does help in term of stress regulation and concentration.
However, There are different types of meditation. So the effect might vary.There are two sides of a coin, same goes to hypnosis or meditation.
http://www.ncbi.nlm.nih.gov/pubmed/1428622Shapiro (1992) found that 62.9% of the subjects reported adverse effects during and after meditation and 7.4% experienced profoundly adverse effects. The length of practice (from 16 to 105 months) did not make any difference to the quality and frequency of adverse effects. These adverse effects were relaxation-induced anxiety and panic; paradoxical increases in tension; less motivation in life; boredom; pain; impaired reality testing; confusion and disorientation; feeling 'spaced out'; depression; increased negativity; being more judgmental; and, ironically, feeling addicted to meditation.
I do get some feedback from meditation practitioners that although their focus and stress regulation ability is improved, but some of them are experienced issues such as low motivation level, boredom, confusion and spaced out (I also noticed these issues in their brainwave pattern). These issues also can affect their daily life performance. In meditation you connect to your internal space and this is quite similar with hypnosis.
Your internal space is just like your subconscious mind. You don't know what is stored in your internal space/subconscious mind, correct?
Meditation or hypnosis may release emotional and mental blockages, from abuse and traumatic images to unprocessed anxiety, grief or anger.
Thus, meditation and hypnosis is a powerful practice. I would say that the proper guidance is really needed.
That's why you need to find a licensed mental health practitioner or meditation expert to prevent and handle abreaction appropriately.Thank you zeropoint9. Can hypnosis help me with some of my goals?
Would like to achieve higher EQ, increased mental resiliency, and measurable happiness.
One of it is the following, which I believe is a result of the test subject's meditation training:
http://www.independent.co.uk/news/people/p...ppy-436652.html"Matthieu Ricard, French translator and right-hand man for the Dalai Lama, has been the subject of intensive clinical tests at the University of Wisconsin, as a result of which he is frequently described as the happiest man in the world. It's a somewhat flattering title, he says, given the tiny percentage of the global population who have had their brain patterns monitored by the same state-of-the-art technology, which involves attaching 256 sensors to the skull, and three hours' continuous MRI scanning.
The fact remains that, out of hundreds of volunteers whose scores ranged from +0.3 (what you might call the Morrissey zone) to -0.3 (beatific) the Frenchman scored -0.45. He shows me the chart of volunteers' results, on his laptop. To find Ricard, you have to keep scrolling left, away from the main curve, until you eventually find him - a remote dot at the beginning of the x-axis."
I have also read previously (can't find it now) that Israeli people, when it comes to traumatic incidents, may face the same level grief as others. But it is their ability to recover their composure much quicker than others due to the environments they are exposed to back home.
I believe hypnosis + meditation practices can help achieve the above improvements.
What are your thoughts on the efficacy of hypnosis for achieving these?
