Off topic ART and hypnotisability

[Robyn]

I do hypnotherapy, and in my experience everyone is hypnotisable. The
problem is that it is thought that the hypnotist is doing the hypnotising,
when in fact it is the subject who learns how to do it and allows it to
happen. Some people learn faster than others, and some people are not ready
to allow themselves to learn how to do it. True, there are some very clever
hypnotists out there who can "trick" some people into a hypnotic state, but
this can only happen if the subject allows it to happen by being suggestible

This is my take on it, and i have been doing this work for 10 years now.
Maybe others have had a different experience.

I did a thesis for my honors year on the ability of people to adjust the
blood flow to their fingers using suggestion. Before doing the study, I had
the subjects complete hypnotisability measures as well as various
personality measures, to see whether there would be a correlation between
these factors and the final results, and there was. Those with high
suggestibility scores were able to adjust the blood flow more easily than
those who did not score so high on this measure.

Re whether or not the level of suggestability would affect things like the
pendulum -- I guess so. But I don't feel that ART falls into the same
category as things like the pendulum and muscle testing -- or maybe it does.
Then there are the WEIHE points. Degroote in his book has found a correlation between Clinical
Kinesiology (as different to simple muscle testing), Weihe points,
Acupuncture points and Remedies. I know of at least 2
chiropracter/homoeopaths here in Australia who use these methods and teach
these as part of the Homoeopathy curriculum (or used to).

When I was studying Homoeopathy, one of our subjects was based on the
DeGroote method, but adjusted to suit the knowledge that the teacher had.
She did not have experience with DeGroote, but instead we were given a
number of remedies and had to be able to describe what a physical
examination, from head to toe would entail, if all the symptoms of these
remedies presented in a patient at the one time (which of course is not
feasable unless you are Kentian! in your approach then you may expect to see
this kind of totality - only kidding!!). This was a wonderful subject, as we
were forced to do a thorough medical examination and note what we would
expect to find. I remember I had Bryonia for my exam viva. We pulled the
remedy out of a hat for the exam, so we had to know all of them. I have all
my charts that i made up for these and they can be useful at times. I could
send an example if anyone is interested for eg., Bryonia

Maybe to feel secure with testing remedies it is important to have more than
one approach to draw from and to confirm. Out of all the ones discussed,
there has to be something that is solid enough to trust is not influenced
too greatly by the practitioner.
