Does Hypnosis Block Spiritual Healing and Physical Recovery?

It is a very serious matter to yield the mind to another, as this practice is a satanic science that can leave a lasting mark on both the mind and the physical powers18MR 263.3+1. Even if you believe the hypnosis did not work, the act of being a willing participant means you exercised your will to render yourself passively subject to another, which is a dangerous venture into a field that God does not approveDG 139.4+1.

The Connection Between the Mind and Physical Health

The condition of the mind has a profound influence on physical health, and certain mental states can actively break down your life-forces2MCP 451.1.

• Mental Obstructions: Guilt, remorse, and distrust tend to invite decay and death2MCP 451.1.

• Spiritual Blight: Accepting unsound theories or being influenced by the "science" of the enemy blights expectations and can act as a hindrance to your physical recovery18MR 263.3+1.

• Satanic Influence: Satan takes tremendous advantage of the human mind through sciences like phrenology, psychology, and mesmerism to poison the experience and lead individuals into darkness2MCP 711.2+1.

Is This Blocking Your Healing?

While God is full of compassion and knows your name and experience, certain choices can indeed act as stumbling blocks or "rubbish" that blocks your way2MCP 434.2+1.

• Hindrances to Prayer: If there is a known fault or a refusal to follow the light given, it can become a stone of stumbling that hinders the blessing of GodPUR December 1, 1904, par. 4+1.

• Unfinished Repentance: God grants no pardon to those whose penitence does not produce true humility, and sometimes a work of repentance is started but not made thorough11MR 250.2+1.

• The Necessity of Renunciation: Unless sentiments regarding the "mind cure" are changed and the mind is converted, one remains a spectacle to angels and a hindrance to their own progress2MCP 715.2+1.

The Path to Restoration

The wonderful news is that the reservoir of power is full and free for those who come with humble hearts1SM 333.3.

• Seek Forgiveness: You should go to God in penitence, for He is waiting to forgive all who come to Him with a sincere heartSpM 7.4+1.

• Yield to the Spirit: Repentance is a gift from Christ; you need only submit to be drawn by His Spirit, and your heart will be melted and subdued1SM 390.1+1.

• Trust in His Mercy: Just as Jacob appealed to God’s mercy by pointing to his past sorrow for his wrongs, you can cry out for help and claim the promise of peace1SP 122.2.

• Claim the Promise: Say to the Lord, "Forgive my sin; I put my hands into Thy hand for help," and He will in no wise cast you out John 6:371SM 333.3.

It is vital to remember that the love of Jesus attracts and subdues the hardest heart, and He is the "great High Priest" who is touched with the feeling of our infirmities Hebrews 4:14-15LIFSK 171.2. You may boldly come to the throne of grace to find mercy and help in your time of need Hebrews 4:16.
