Some of the world's top hypnotists have named Ron Eslinger the “Captain of Pain” (management), due to his service as a Captain and CRNA in the US Navy and his extensive work using hypnosis for all types of pain. With over 30 years' experience in medical settings working with patients in doctors' offices, pediatric clinics, the ER, the operating room, and providing medical support to troops during the Gulf War, and now in his own hypnosis practice, he has seen and helped with almost every kind of pain:

• Back pain
• Neck pain
• Phantom limb pain
• Cancer pain
• PTSD
• Before, during and after surgery
• Fibromyalgia
• Dental visits
• Neuropathic pain
• Shingles
• Arthritis
• Migraines

Medical backing: the Joint Commission for Accreditation of Healthcare Organizations (JCAHO) set standards for the assessment of pain and states that alternative non-pharmacological methods for pain management may be used by all hospitals.

If you are experiencing any of these types of pain, or know someone who is, contact Ron Eslinger for an appointment: call 865-269-4616.

Job stress: it is estimated that job stress costs Americans more than $300 billion annually due to diminished productivity, absenteeism, employee turnover, and medical, legal and insurance fees. It is also projected that 60 to 80% of all work-related accidents are due to stress.

How do I know if I am stressed? If you are finger tapping, compulsively eating, biting your nails, or having repetitive thoughts you might be stressed. If you have increased your smoking, drinking or drug use, or you are absent from or late for work, you might be stressed. Prolonged stress can result in heart disease, food cravings, insomnia, depression, PMS, obesity, arthritis, diabetes and other conditions.

The course uses conventional teaching methods complemented by guided imagery, creative visualization, meditation, suggestion and hypnotic techniques. Contact the Healthy Visions Wellness Center at (865) 269-4616 and leave your stress behind.

Your conscious mind, or willpower, is relatively weak. It changes continuously and creates many excuses why you should not stop: “You've been smoking too long to stop, you deserve at least a small pleasure, you'll gain weight if you stop, you can cut down instead…”

Your subconscious mind is strong; it is the main stabilizing force you possess. Once it is set on a certain course of action it rarely lets you vary from it. To stop smoking you must convince it that you no longer smoke. The subconscious mind works at maintaining what you tell it you are: if you keep telling yourself that you have already quit, eventually you will never have another cigarette. The way to reach your subconscious mind is through hypnosis, and all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

You know diets don't work, so quit getting frustrated and stressed when there is a natural, healthy way to eat what you like and still reach your optimal weight. A simple 20-minute increase in physical activity daily will do the job. You truly are who you think you are: the subconscious mind strives to maintain what it thinks we are.

You gain confidence, let go of stress and take off unwanted pounds using suggestions that teach the right amount of water to drink, how often and how many meals a day to eat, and how many calories it takes to reduce by one pound; that food is fuel for your body; that today's portion sizes are much greater than 20 years ago and small portions give the same satisfaction; and that help you understand the emotions and stresses that cause overeating.

Fact: stress causes a rise in cortisol, and cortisol creates a craving for sweets and salts.

Meditation is an effective way to relax and reduce anxiety. By progressively concentrating on different areas of the body and imagining physical relaxation, mental relaxation follows. Mental relaxation is itself an altered state and helps the mind and body be more responsive to suggestions such as: “Every day your nerves are stronger and steadier. Your mind is calmer and clearer… you think more clearly, you concentrate more easily, and you see things in their true perspective.”
