- Title
THE INTEGRATION AND APPLICATION OF TAI CHI PRINCIPLES WITH MIND-BODY HYPNOTHERAPY.
- Authors
Gregory, Bruce
- Abstract
The integration of principles and processes of the internal martial art of Tai Chi with mind-body hypnotherapy can facilitate expanded trust, deeper levels of safety, and new forms of comfort in the treatment of a variety of symptoms. This integration is facilitated by the utilization of creativity, the implied directive, and the principle of correspondence utilized in the set theory of Cantor.1 The main areas the integration incorporates are the utilization of time, space, motion, position, and the containment2 and transformation of resistance. The main areas in which trust is expanded include additional subsets of physiological resources and a trust in the capacity to reduce pressure. A number of Tai Chi principles and processes are discussed in terms of their relevance and application in the areas of containment, temporal dynamics, the expansion of trust in resources, the healing effects of refocusing, and the treatment of resistance.
