HYPNO-ACUPUNCTURE: The relationship between AUCH Hypnosis (Awareness Under Conscious Hypnosis) and AUCH Acupuncture (Acupuncture Using Complementary Healing)
AUCH (Awareness Under Conscious Hypnosis) method is a technique applied within the frames of the Conscious Hypnosis School. Conscious Hypnosis was established by Hüsnü İsmet Öztürk, MD; and it has been used since 1951.
AUCH method has 3 steps: 1-MAYA, 2-Induction and 3-Autohypnosis. Besides, and three main aims: 1-Awareness, 2-Differentation, and 3-Feeling.
AUCH Method aims:
1-To give suggestions that are related to the symptoms and that are aiming the root of the problem; hence that have direct medical therapeutic effects,
2- To apply some physical hypnotic passes, touches, and tapings during the induction step that coincides with some acupuncture points, areas and techniques.
During this workshop, these main approaches and aims of AUCH method will be explained.
While doing this, first of all, the ethical and therapeutic importance of the MAYA step will be elaborated.
Next, the induction step will be practiced by studying the main induction technique of AUCH Method: “Eye-to-eye fixation and giving hypnotic suggestions”.
Furthermore, some practices used in AUCH method during the induction step have some similarities with acupuncture points and areas. For instance, the hypnotic passes, touches and tapings applied on the patient’s head and body have some relationship with Yamamoto New Scalp Acupuncture (YNSA) and (TCM) Traditional Chinese Medicine.
Also, during the Induction step, some hypnotic suggestions for different diagnoses and for the treatment of various symptoms are given accompanying the physical hypnotic rituals of AUCH (hypnotic passes, touches and tapings).
Furthermore, some practices used during the autohypnosis step have some similarities with acupuncture points and areas.
The hand of the patient -in the shape of a fist- is utilized as an autohypnotic key in AUCH, and it is very interesting that the fist-autohypnotic-key has some relationships with the Soliman’s Three Phase Hand Acupuncture, and acupuncture projections of the brain and internal organs on the hand.
Also, another important point of Induction step will be discussed during the workshop: the medical and ethical criteria, and the limits of autohypnosis.
The learning outcomes:
Participants will learn the following clinical skills:
• Preparing the patient for hypnosis using the AUCH method in the MAYA step
• The relationship between hypnotic touch and tapings during the induction step, using the “eye-to-eye fixation and giving suggestion” technique, and acupuncture areas and meridians,
• The relationship between the autohypnotic-key hand gesture, closing the hand like a fist during auto-hypnosis, and Soliman hand acupuncture during the autohypnosis step.
