WHAT IS HYPNOSIS
Hypnosis is a state of mind produced by either yourself (auto or self Hypnosis) or by responding to the directions of a therapist. It is usually accompanied by deep physical relaxation, a focusing of your attention within yourself and a corresponding reduction in awareness of your surroundings.
Hypnosis has been likened to day dreaming and naturally occurring forms of hypnotic trance are common ie when absorbed in a good book or some other activity, or driving on autopilot down a familiar road.
Hypnosis in not the same as sleep it is not like an anaesthetic you do not “pass out” and you are not unconscious when you are hypnotised. You do not lose control over your mind or your feelings, you do not weaken or surrender your will to any other person. In fact, your will power may be strengthened with Hypnosis.
Within the subconscious mind resides our emotions, memories, imagination, our automatic body responses, habit patterns, and our most deeply held beliefs about ourselves and what we believe is possible for us.
It is these deeply held patterns and beliefs that drive our decisions and shape our lives and the quality of our perceptions. When we desire to make a lasting positive change in our lives it is these subconscious patterns that we must change.
Hypnotherapy is a safe, proven, and effective tool for directly accessing the power of the subconscious mind. As with the majority of the healing arts and sciences, the practice of Hypnotherapy has evolved and changed over the course of its lengthy history.
Modern Hypnotherapy is a collaborative effort wherein the client and Hypnotherapist interact and work together, via the pleasant and naturally occurring phenomena we have labelled “Trance” (the same state that everyone experiences while awakening from a good nights sleep) to bring about the positive changes that the client has identified as desirable, and to achieve lasting improvement in the quality of the clients life.
“In order to take our lives to the next level we must realise that the same pattern of thinking that has gotten us to where we are now will not get us to where we want to go.”
Anthony Robbins
