ABSTRACT

This paper presents a hypnotic technique that starts with a suggested focus on one’s fingertips, and movement of the hands in a self-determined rhythm. The technique involves the use of the utilization principle of Milton Erickson in multiple ways. This includes utilizing psychomotor agitation characteristic of psychophysiological arousal, directing it toward movement that generates the sensations upon which to focus. It utilizes the sensitivity of the fingertips, the high degree of representation of the hands in the somatosensory cortex, and the tendency of the brain to orient to novelty to help facilitate focused absorption. It generates counter stimulation for pain management, and emotionally self- soothing tactile sensations. The technique is further designed to activate and utilize prior sensorimotor learning and sensory experiences associated with the hands to access feelings of mastery, creativity, flow, self-efficacy, and other positive emotional experiences. It is hypothesized that multisystem coherence is generated through activating prior positive motor, behavioral and affective experiential learning. It is further hypothesized that the rhythmic movement and sensory input simultaneously generated by and processed in the right and left hemispheres, entrains the hemispheres toward greater sympathetic/parasympathetic balance.

摘要

本文介绍了一种催眠技术，该技术从建议的重点放在一个人的指尖开始，然后按照自己确定的节奏移动手。该技术涉及以多种方式使用Milton Erickson的利用原理。这包括利用心理生理唤醒的精神运动性激动特性，将其引向产生集中注意力的感觉的运动。它利用了指尖的灵敏度，手在躯体感觉皮层中的高度代表性以及大脑倾向于新颖的趋势来帮助促进集中吸收。它产生反刺激，以减轻疼痛，并在情感上使人舒缓触觉。该技术还被设计为激活和利用与手相关的先前的感觉运动学习和感觉体验，以获取精通，创造力，流动，自我效能感和其他积极情感体验的感觉。假设通过激活先验的积极运动，行为和情感体验学习来产生多系统连贯性。进一步假设，左右半球同时产生并在左右半球中进行处理的节奏运动和感觉输入使半球趋向于更大的交感/副交感平衡。行为和情感体验学习。进一步假设，左右半球同时产生并在左右半球中进行处理的节奏运动和感觉输入使半球趋向于更大的交感/副交感平衡。行为和情感体验学习。进一步假设，左右半球同时产生并在左右半球中进行处理的节奏运动和感觉输入使半球趋向于更大的交感/副交感平衡。
