Highlighting Intra-psychic Conflicts Using Altered States of Consciousness (ASC)

AbstractThe rational, subconscious and unconscious intra-psychic conflicts manifested causing, by psychosomatic conditioning, undesired psycho-emotional and somatic manifestations can be highlighted using altered states of consciousness (ASC). Using hypnosis to induce altered states of consciousness (ASC) to the experimental group (N = 18, M = 21.1 years, SD = 2.41), at dummy response type investigation, we found that the signal transmission via adrenal-somatic axis up to manifestations is processed in a longer time than the signal transmission from the Ideo-Motor Reflex centers of the two cerebral hemispheres at effectors muscles which decode the transmitted signal. Under these conditions, the measured response time differences using polygraph and pressure sensors for Ideo-Motor Reflex signal, are given by the complexity of intra- psychic processing of related facets of specific aspects of the Self
