Treating Supernatural Phenomenon Via Hypnosis

By Kurniawati Kamarudin

KUALA LUMPUR, July 4 (Bernama) -- Some people may find it hard to believe that the energy harnessed from our mind can be used to cure diseases or phenomenon caused by supernatural elements.

But this can really be done, according to the founder of Simfoni Minda Academy (SMA) Dr Sazali Ahmad.

He said an individual's mind power, via hypnosis, can be used to "neutralise" the negative energy sent by a force which is invisible to the naked eye.

"Many in the society are not aware that most of the energy associated with traditional belief is actually science," said Dr Sazali.

He said many of the healing methods used in traditional treatment have scientific background and explanation.

"Scientific studies on supernatural beings like ghosts, santau and toyol all point out to the mind power," Dr Sazali told Bernama here recently.

INTEREST TO STUDY MIND POWER

Dr Sazali said his interest to study the power of the mind came about after he observed his father practised faith healing in Pulau Pinang.

"My father, who died at the age of 91 years old, was an important individual in our village due to his ability to cure diseases caused by supernatural elements.

"When I was 10 years old, I followed my father to his faith healing sessions. To such an extent that the interest in the traditional healing methods stirred within me," he said.

After learning the traditional healing methods, Dr Sazali began to study the "The Malay Magic", penned by William Skeat. The book focuses on the existence of ghosts, and other unearthly beings in the Malay archipelago.

Dr Sazali later embarked on a research to study why and how these supernatural elements, so feared by mankind, come into existence.

His effort, "Mystic Craft & Mind Craft", was accepted as a thesis by University of British Columbia, Canada that resulted in Dr Sazali getting his PhD.

He was also recognised as a doctor in hypnotherapy by the Canadian Professional Board Of Hypnotherapy after he successfully brought to consciousness people who were in coma.

COURSES IN HYPNOTHERAPY

Apart from treating people who suffered from diseases caused by mystical elements, SMA also holds courses on hypnosis for individuals and corporate firms.

Dr Sazali said some of these courses deal with issues like mental fatigue, trauma and phobia as well as self-confidence.

He said the other hypnotic courses focus on sports, entertainment and forensic fields while the "Sales Magic" and "Corporate Mystique" are for the boardroom people.

Meanwhile, fields like forensic hypnosis and remote viewing, applied by the United State's Central Intelligence agency (CIA) and Federal Bureau of Investigation (FBI) to seek evidence and trace criminals, can be used to assist the police to trace missing persons.
