Working with High Blood Pressure:
I've worked with people with High blood pressure, and I do a deep relaxation induction, and several deepeners - the aim being to assist the client to relax DEEPLY both physically and mentally. This in itself will help bring the pressure down. I also teach the client to do self hypnosis to relax themselves - and tell them to do this at least once a day. Whilst in trance I use the "control room" analogy - in which the client is taken to their own inner Healing Space/room/temple (whatever) and does some releasing of cares/worries/tensions/anger/anxiety (whatever are the underlying factors to the presenting problem) - then I point out that in this Healing Space - Deep within - is a Control room which is run by the unc. mind - for the good of the body and mind. I describe a set of levers - each one is for a specific bodily system (hormones, blood pressure, digestion etc. etc.). I tell the client to find the lever for Blood pressure and then to move that lever into the perfect place it needs to be to produce a perfectly balanced blood pressure for "your own particular body". (Or words to that effect - I'm sure you get the picture). This has always worked to bring down high blood pressure, and I've had clients who practiced daily and were then taken off their medication (by their doctor of course).
