What is Somatic Healing?


Somatic Healing uses Hypnosis to access the subconscious mind or inner body wisdom, and it’s infinite healing powers. The Alchemy School of Hypnosis’ approach to healing is based on the assumption that every part of the body and its functions are under the direct control of the subconscious mind, and that a client’s disease process or physical condition can be in turn be directly influenced when we are able to access it.

Somatic Healing, which is a distinct branch within the overall use of Hypnosis, works with 5 different specialized tools: The golden Sun Process, Hypnotic Movement, Color Healing, awakening the Inner Healer, and Spiritual Surgery.


Here are just some of the conditions that respond well to somatic healing:

• Any kind of chronic or recurring pain.
• Chronic pain caused by old injuries or surgeries
• Finger- or toe-dislocation
• Work or stress related pain
• Arthritis
• Fibromyalgia
• Rheumatism
• Herniated disks
• Sciatica
• Carpal tunnel syndrome

The Golden Sun Process


The Golden Sun is a simple process that uses a guided visualization to tap into the powerful energies of the earth and the sun. By connecting with, and bringing these energies into your own body and allowing them to flow out through your hands, you can direct this healing energy into any part of another persons body, or your own.

Once you have learned this process, you can easily continue to use it at home by yourself.

Hypnotic Movement


(picture to come)

Hypnotic Movement releases chronic pain. It works a little bit like untying a knot.

When your body has been injured, intensely stressed, or been forced to absorb unexpressed emotion, it keeps it there through tension, through a hardening, through a holding that turns into physical pain. An astonishing thing happens when we allow and instruct the inner body wisdom through the unconscious mind to release what has been stored in that particular muscle tissue or scar tissue, the pain is released along with it. We find that the body knows exactly how to move to undo the knot within the tissue or tendons, so to speak. My role as the facilitator is to use my hands to support and hold the part of your body we are working with to allow a maximum of relaxation during the movement. Sometimes the movement may be also accompanied by an emotional release, and a revisiting of a specific experience or time in your life when this emotional or physical pain occurred.

You may experience a slow and gentle movement, or an almost unnoticeable microscopic movement, a twitching, or trembling, shaking, jerking, sometimes even kicking motions... And while neither you, nor I, have any idea what kind of movement is needed, we simply allow your body to lead, as it knows exactly what to do, to release the trauma that is stored in the particular area we are addressing.

Color Healing


For Color Healing we use a hypnotic visualization. We are asking the condition in you body to be translated into the vibration of color so to speak. This enables you to see a particular color in a particular shape in the affected area in your body. Your inner body wisdom then shows you the exit point through with the pain, inflammation or infection can be drained out of the body. Together we activate or open this exit point and allow the color to flow out of your body. Sometimes this may be accompanied by hypnotic movement as well.

We then ask for the color of healing that will replace the color we have just drained out of your body. Again it is your subconscious mind that will give you the awareness of this color, which then is poured into the place of pain or discomfort, washing it clean, soothing, regenerating and healing it.

The Inner Healer


The Inner Healer is really a part of you higher self, a kind of inner physician, who can heal physical illness as an adjunct to other medical treatment.
We find the Inner Healer through a guided hypnotic journey, which leads you to your “temple of healing”. This temple can be a room, a meadow, a grove, a surgical laboratory, any place that your inner body wisdom chooses as an image of a place where you feel safe, peaceful, known and completely taken care of.

When you meet your Inner Healer for the first time, we ask several questions related to your health and well-being in general and also directed at your personal health challenge right now. You will receive answers on appropriate food and eating habits, the best use of medicine, herbs or supplements, the current need of exercise or use of body movement, the balance between rest and activity, suggestions for possible lifestyle or relationship changes, recommendations on choosing health practitioners and healing technologies, the underlying cause or meaning of the illness, and finally suggestions for daily meditations for self healing.

Once you have encountered and awakened your Inner Healer, you can easily learn to stay in touch with this inner being on your own on a regular basis.

Spiritual Surgery


Once you have found your Inner Healer, we can invite this being to perform a spiritual surgery on you to initiate or accelerate the healing process.
Inner Healers can identify the color and shape of the illness or injury inside your body and they can identify and open the appropriate exit points for the release. They can also enter their hands into your body at the entrance points, and perform inside whatever action is necessary. This may be: removing toxins, dissolving tumors or scar tissue, rewiring nerves, soothing inflammations, eliminating infections, mending or fusing bones or tissue, or releasing pain. All of these actions feel very comfortable and are completely pain free in the body.

During the spiritual surgery we also invite the body’s wisdom to assist the process through Hypnotic Movement if needed.
We always end by asking the relevant questions:

What is the underlying cause or meaning of this illness?

Is there a daily meditation for self healing that is recommended, or any other way to use regular special time to support the healing process?
