"At a hospital in Peterborough, Bernadine Coady, has been having routine knee surgery.

But unlike most patients, she was not given any anaesthetic - instead, the 67-year-old claimed she used self-hypnosis to control the pain.

She told surgeon Ahmed Shair of the private Orthopaedics and Spine Specialist Hospital in Cambridgeshire that she could feel only tugging and pulling.

Despite much research, nobody knows exactly how the technique works but Mrs Coady says anyone is capable of using self-hypnosis to control pain if they train their mind."

What a shining example of the power of self-hypnosis, and hats off to Bernadine, not only for doing it all on her own - but also having a film crew in the operating theatre with her every step of the way.

Hypnosis has been used as a form of pain control for centuries, but fell out of popular use when modern anaesthetics were developed. However, some progressive modern surgeons (notably Irish surgeon, Dr Jack Gibson) have continued to use it in their work. Dr Jack, now 92 (and still working!), has performed over 4000 procedures using hypnosis instead of anaesthetic.

Modern neuroscience suggests that hypnosis works the same way as an anaesthetic - by blocking or altering the way the mind processes the pain signals coming from the body. MRI scans show the physical brain activity actually changes as a person goes into self hypnosis. Unlike anaesthetic, however, Hypnosis has no side effects, and studies show that patients actually recover much faster.

From our perspective, it is great to see yet more unquestionable proof that hypnosis works - helping to dispel further the hollywood myths and stage show shenanigans that have dogged its past. The mind is a powerful thing, and hypnosis allows each one of us to tap into its full power to make change in our lives - if we will allow ourselves to do so.

We are pleased to announce that our self hypnosis mp3 for natural birth now uses binaural beats to make them even more effective.

Binaural beats are created when sounds of slightly sifferent frequencies are heard separately by each ear, and combined by the brain to create a third perceived 'sound' which is the difference between the two.

Research at educational institutions worldwide, including the Monroe Institute, has found that binaural beats cause our brainwave patterns to synchronise with the beat, allowing people to reach the deeply relaxed states of mind much more quickly and with less practice.

This technology not only helps make our self hypnosis mp3 so much more effective, but also means our programmes can be much shorter than traditional hypnosis cds, making them much more convenient to listen to each day.

We are pleased to announce that you can now learn self hypnosis and relaxation techniques for pregnancy and labour pain management in the comfort of your own home thanks to our new learn at home birth preparation programme and Self Hypnosis MP3 for Labour downloads.

Learning relaxation techniques and self hypnosis for preganancy can give you a sense of control over your mind and body, both during your pregnancy as well as helping you to manage labour pain when you are giving birth.

Whats more, research at the Women's and Children's Hospital in Adelaide, Australia, where hypnosis is used for women in labour, shows it is highly effective. They found that women taught self-hypnosis reduced their need for analgesia by half, epidurals by 70 per cent, and were more than twice as likely to be satisfied with their pain management in labour compared with other women.
