You're getting Sleepy... BY TRACY SIMMONS
Lubbock Avalanche
Journal
Hmmanuel Irabor was addicted to porn. Tanya Meadows (who
works at the www.windmill.com was
addicted to nicotine. Dr H is addicted to the
subconscious. But, it's OK, he's supposed to be. He's a
hypnotist.
"Hypnotism is a magnified
concentration based on a belief system," he explained. He
runs Beyond Your Imagination Hypnosis and Massage Center on
8212 Ithaca Suite D5 in Lubbock Texas. 806-792-4164.
But Dr. H, hasn't
always been in the hypnosis business, though he has been in
the entertainment industry for about 30 years. He started as
a magician and stage hypnotist. Doing the hypnosis shows was cheaper
for our clients that the large stage illusion shows. Besides, as fun as illusions are, they
don't really make the impact quite like hypnotism does.
He's a trained professional
and spends part of his time training future hypnotists.
DR H has also pastored
College Heights Baptist Church for over 26 years in Lubbock
Texas. He said many people assume
hypnotism is "evil," but he assures that it's not.
"The first response is that
it's of the devil," he said. "If they don't understand
something, they assume it's bad."
Dr H said hypnotism can be
backed up biblically. Romans 12:2, for example, reads, "Do
not conform any longer to the pattern of this world, but be
transformed by the renewing of your mind. Then you will be
able to test and approve what God's will is - his good,
pleasing and perfect will."
The "renewing of the mind"
part, he said, includes hypnotism.
Honea is the only stage
hypnotist in Lubbock. He performs across the country and
uses stage hypnotism to entertain and to motivate. He said
he never forces anyone into hypnosis; in fact, he said,
that's not even possible.
"People who are on stage want
to be. They want to have fun," he said. But it's not all fun
and games. That's where hypnotherapy comes in.
Just ask Irabor. He wanted to
quench his urge to turn to pornography when times got tough.
The doctors couldn't help him. Neither could psychiatrists.
"I kept praying. I just needed
somebody to help me," he said. "I went on the Internet and
saw Dr. H. I read his profile and saw that he was a
Christian man."
So he made an appointment.
Dr H told Irabor that hypnosis wouldn't magically take his
addiction away, but it would help. After
a thorough discussion, the hypnosis began.
Dr H turned on light music
and told Irabor to close his eyes and listen to his voice.
He told him his eyes were getting heavy. His neck. His
elbows. His shoulders. Before he knew it, Irabor was walking
up a grassy hill with a weighty backpack on. The bag was
getting too heavy. Irabor could feel the weight on his
shoulders. DR H told him to take stuff out of the pack to
make it lighter. It worked.
"He helped me get into my
subconscious, and I conquered some of my weaknesses," Irabor
said.
He hasn't looked at Internet
porn in two months. He doesn't have the urge to look at it
anymore, he said.
Meadows goes to Honea's church and had heard him talk about
hypnotism. She had been lighting up for 15 years. She had
tried the gum, she had tried limiting how many cigarettes
she had a day, but it never lasted long.
But she was determined to
change, and in 2006 decided it was her New Year's
resolution.
"I got to the point where I
was down to six a day (down from a pack-and-a-half). I
thought I was doing well, but I could not get past that
point," she said. On March 6 she went to Dr Honea for help.
They spent 45 minutes talking about the issue.
"Then," Meadows said, "he
hypnotized me." Honea gave her a copy of the CD he used
during her hypnosis so she could listen to it when things
got stressful.
"I used the CD several times
over the next six weeks," she said. But
Meadows never reached for a cigarette. It's been 10 months. Hypnosis,
she said, is simple. It's positive reinforcement.
"If you're wanting to quit,
it's just another positive reinforcement to get you to where
you can quit and stay quit," Meadows said.
Dr. H said it's slightly
more complicated than that. He explained that the
subconscious is where long-term memories dwell. So, by
attaching new, positive images to the subconscious, changes
happen.
It's a science, he said. Dr.
H noted that it happens to people every day.
"Have you
ever been reading a book and lose track of time?" he asked.
That's hypnosis. So is spacing out and driving past your
exit, Dr. H said. Learning how to use it properly, he
said, can change lives.
