Indian Hypnotherapist Saket Rai's Pain Research Accepted by Taylor & Francis

NEW DELHI - Sept. 2, 2026 - PRLog -- New Delhi, India — Saket Rai, a prominent Indian clinical hypnotherapist, author, and founder of Athero Arcana, has had his research paper "Unlocking Relief: The Power of Hypnosis in Pain Management — An Explorative Study" accepted for publication in a Taylor & Francis conference book following its presentation at the International Conference on Integrative Approaches to Health and Positive Psychology (ICIAHP 2023).

The paper presents an explorative study examining the effectiveness of clinical hypnosis as a non-pharmacological intervention for pain relief. The research contributes to a growing body of evidence supporting hypnotherapy as a complement to conventional pain management protocols.

"Hypnosis has been used for centuries as a therapeutic tool, yet it remains underutilized in mainstream clinical settings," said Saket Rai. "This research is part of my commitment to bridging traditional hypnotherapy practice with evidence-based clinical application."

Saket Rai is the author of two widely read books on hypnosis — Conversational Hypnosis in Action and Rapid Hypnosis: Hypnosis on Fast Forward — both available on Amazon. He is the founder of Athero Arcana, a hypnotherapy training and wellness organization based in India, and runs a YouTube channel with over 3,900 subscribers dedicated to hypnosis education.

In addition to clinical hypnotherapy, Rai is a recognized authority on Ilmu Gendam, an ancient Javanese esoteric tradition of personal magnetism and influence, and has trained practitioners internationally.

His work spans clinical applications of hypnosis (pain, anxiety, weight management, sleep), conversational influence, and the study of Eastern esoteric traditions. He has appeared as a guest on multiple podcasts including The Pixowl Talks, Booksandus, Creative Space Unfiltered, and Yugcharan.
