Can anyone explain why hypnosis is not used more often?
Can anyone explain how hypnosis blocks the feeling of pain?
NO, Not exactly.
This is why modern society doesn't use hypnosis exclusively.
It is not proven scientifically that the mind can eliminate pain.
This is very sad because many people suffer and can be helped through HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis Is A very powerful tool
To Eliminate Pain
Medical Endorsement of Hypnosis
Hypnosis to control pain was officially accepted by the mainstream medical community by both the American Medical Association (1958) and the British Medical Association (since 1955), and has also been accepted by the American Psychiatric Association.
In an accompanying editorial, David Spiegel, M.D., of the Stanford University School of Medicine in Palo Alto, Calif., describes the history of hypnosis in medicine and the evidence for why hypnosis could reduce pain.
"It has taken us a century and a half to rediscover the fact that the mind has something to do with pain and can be a powerful tool in controlling it ... It is now abundantly clear that we can retrain the brain to reduce pain: 'float rather than fight,'" Spiegel writes.

For many people, just spending time in a hypnotic trance is a relaxing, rejuvenating,
and
pain-free experience.
In fact, most people have been in a natural trance, often many times a day, without even knowing it. Maybe you can remember being in school, staring out the window, not really paying attention, and letting your mind drift - that's a trance state. Some people get into that state of mind by praying, or dancing, or gardening, or listening to music so deeply they get lost in it. Most of us have had experiences with "highway hypnosis," when we're driving on a road we've driven many times, mind thinking about whatever it wants to, and we suddenly "snap out of it" and wonder if we've made that important left turn - and it turns out we have.
In each of these cases, the conscious mind is doing one thing while the subconscious mind is paying attention to another.
Hypnosis, either with the assistance of a hypnotist or as self-hypnosis, is a way to enter that state of mind - and once you're in that state of mind, it becomes easy to make and accept suggestions about how your mind and body should behave or what it should believe.
Now, at this point you may be thinking, "Well, I can see how that might help with things like eating less or quitting smoking because that's just something people can choose to do. But my pain is real - how can this help?"
Although the mind-body connection has been understood to exist for thousands of years, more recently it's been the subject of scientific research that shows that what people think and believe can directly impact the way their bodies function - and also how their minds interpret the messages sent by the body.
Pain is an essential alerting mechanism to let you know that something is wrong, that some tissue is being damaged. However, once we get that message, or if the message is being sent in error, there's no need to continue to interpret the message from the nerves in the same way.
Hypnosis for pain relief can be amazingly powerful. We can stop the sensation completely, as we do with hypno-anesthesia, which is often used for dental work and minor surgery. There are even some people who have undergone major surgery with only hypnosis as anesthetic.
We can also reduce or transform the sensation. This is often done for a pain signal that still serves a purpose, such as reminding people who have had hip replacement that they need to be careful turning when they walk. We can transform what would have been felt as acute pain into a soft buzzing or another sensation. In hypno-birthing, we can transform what might otherwise be interpreted as pain into a pleasurable experience, with more intense contractions resulting in more intense happiness and pleasure.
As people we tend to act as though the things we believe are true are actually true - and we tend to believe the things that are told to us by authority figures, and especially when we're feeling emotional. For example, when I had back surgery 25 years ago to relieve acute pain from a collapsed disc, I was scared. The night before surgery, the doctor came in to tell me about what I should expect. He said, "Mark, the surgery is going to go very well. I've done hundreds of these procedures. But I want you to remember, you're not getting a new back, and you'll probably always have a little bit of pain. But don't worry, things will go fine."
And they did. Everything he told me was true. The surgery went well. I didn't get a new back. And I always had a little bit of pain.
Even though he had fixed the issue with my back and there was no physical reason for me to feel pain anymore, my mind was open to his suggestion, and I accepted it as true.
And I lived with the pain for 25 years, until I had a hypnosis session for pain relief. During the session, we told my subconscious mind that, in fact, I didn't have to believe that doctor anymore and, since there was no good reason for me to feel the pain, I didn't have to. And since that day, I've not felt that old pain even once. I still know I don't have a new back so I'm careful when I lift things, but that suggestion of daily pain is gone now, and so is the pain.
