Are you waiting for surgery as a highly sensitive person (HSP) and do you dread this? For example, are you stressed over and nervous, or afraid that something will go wrong? Do you worry about it, do you wake up at night and get tired of it? HSP have a more sensitive nervous system and recognize themselves in these HSP characteristics. They can experience stress and nerves more intensely compared to non HSP. These tips will help you further!
Prepare well. Why is the operation necessary? Having a goal provides motivation and helps you keep going, even if you are experiencing heavy emotions, like fear. Choose medical doctors you trust. What exactly will happen before, during and after surgery? Which substances and medication are being administered to your body? HSP can experience this more intensely compared to non-HSP. Also keep in mind that the anesthetic nitrous oxide (N2O), when used chronically, leads to a vitamin B12 shortage . If you have a absorption disorder of vitamin B12, you can, for example, investigate whether there are alternatives to this. Some HSP may suffer months of burden of the anesthesia. For example, they are tired, restless, sleep worse, are emotional (scared) and / or suffer from mood swings. Sedation can sometimes be an alternative. Also, practicing lucid dreaming can help.
Perhaps loved ones can give you a lift to the hospital, burn a candle for you during surgery or take you home after surgery and do some household chores or cook some goodies? You can also ask for help to light beings (like ascended masters) , for example, that you are relaxed before the operation, that the operation is positive and you recover well.
Discuss your anxiety with the doctors and nurses. Learn to transform it.
Meditate for example and/or use the Tool of Calming. Self hypnosis can also help you relax: at tip 10 you will find more information about this. Are you afraid of needles? Then check out these tips (this article is Dutch: you can use Google Translate in Chrome to translate the text). Take things like pajamas and slippers that will make you feel relaxed.
Shielding prevents you from getting energy from others like loved ones, other patients (who may be scared or uncertain) and take over doctors.
Can you read Dutch? For inspiration I share an interview with the Dutch Magazine Viva about controlfreaks. Do you find letting go and trust difficult? Find out why (for example, this may have originated in a past life) and learn how to transform it.
Do you have books or magazines that you like? Or a movie you want to see for a while? Take them with you so you can focus on something positive after surgery. This gives energy instead of worrying about recovery and the like. Need inspiration? Here you will find my Dutch book tips for HSP (some titles are also available in English).
Have you had the surgery? Release energy that you do not serve, such as from substances that have been administered to you. For example, drugs used for anesthesia can lead to drowsiness and concentration problems. For example, drink water that is energized.
Ask doctors what you can do to promote your recovery. Also support yourself energetically, for example with the Flame from Ascension Europe. This is an addition to regular care (not a replacement).

HSP can benefit a lot from hypnosis. Below you will discover:
There are many misunderstandings about hypnosis. This is often due to TV shows. Hypnosis is awareness with focused attention and a greater capacity to respond to suggestions. During hypnosis your state of consciousness changes: you are not “gone”. Hypnosis was used more than 150 years ago as an anesthetic surgical method and natural anesthesia. Hypnosis is often not used as an alternative to regular anesthesia, but as a supplement. It can be used before, during and after surgery. It is suitable for some relatively simple procedures, usually in addition to a local anesthetic. It can also be used for (chronic) pain, on an emotional level. The experiences of pain may decrease.
There are several benefits of hypnosis, here are some examples:
Hypnosis surrounding an operation is only suitable if you yourself are motivated and you really want to, cooperate 100% (and accept suggestions) and trust the healthcare professionals. Do you want this, too? Find an anesthesiologist who’s trained in this. He or she will always give you the opportunity to get a full anaesthetic if you need it and want it.
In some countries they use hypnosis around operations, these are some examples:
Professor doctor Marie-Elisabeth Faymonvill has been an anaesthetist since 1981 and she specialized in hypnosis. She has been using hypnosis since 1992. She has helped thousands of patients in this way. Professor Dr. Faymonville has done several investigations into hypnosis. She has done research on hypnosis in relation to pain. Professor Dr. Faymonville showed that a specific part of the brain (anterior cingular gyrus) is involved. In 2002, Professor Faymonville defended her dissertation on hypnosis as a tool in regular medicine. She won several awards.
In the Netherlands, hypnosis is used in dozens of hospitals. For example, this is done for chronic abdominal pain and irritable bowel syndrome. The Dutch documentary Hypnosis on prescription discusses this further. In this documentary professor Marc Benninga (AMC), doctor Arine Vlieger (St. Antonius Hospital), doctor Herbert van Wering (Amphia Hospital), professor doctor Ben Witteman (Gelderse Vallei Hospital) and doctor Emile Keuter (Isala) can be seen. In the Netherlands the Juliana hospital in The Hague uses since 2010 for example hypnosis.
