Judokas used a form of self hypnosis to enable them to win competitions. A vision of two zombies attempting to throw each other in an outer reaping throw dance comes to absurdly mind.. Self-hypnosis is useful to kill pain during dentist's visits, give birth, and to lose weight or quit some habits. All that is required is a phrase that is short and compelling, repeated over and over in the mind like a mantra. Within about a minute you are much more relaxed and suggestible to the intent of then phrase. If you are about to experience pain, tell yourself over and over, there is "no such thing as pain" for perhaps a minute or two, and then relax. It makes a big difference if you can focus enough. It can even make a difference to gout and heaadache. A medical researcher, E. Braverman found variants these mentalist techniques useful in treating migraines. More to the point it has been seen by Braverman, Seyle and others that stress is strongly correlated with many forms of allergic and other illness. Destressing by various vitamin, metabamin and other means has a usually positive effect.
