hypnosis

Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years as a therapeutic tool and is completely safe. In fact the word comes from the Greek word ‘hypnos’ which means sleep, and is used because you may lazy and sleepy under hypnosis.

There is no way you can be out of control under hypnosis. You can talk and listen under hypnosis just as well as you can in your normal state. The power of hypnosis is it allows the subconscious mind to take on positive ideas in there purest form. This is why you can’t be manipulated under hypnosis. If you feel an idea is negative, you will reject it.

Most people go into a form of hypnosis a couple of times a day without realising it. Forget being in a trance or having no recall of being put under. You are just talked into a state of relaxation by the therapist. It feels different to each person, but as an example, remember a time when you were laying on the beach. The warmth of the sun is on your face, you have your eyes closed and gradually you feel relaxed, almost sleepy. The sounds around you; the sea, the children’s excited voices, the helicopter flying overhead, these all gradually merge into one sound as you feel totally still and relaxed. This is a form of hypnosis. In the therapy room, you may feel so relaxed that your mind wanders and you stop listening to what the therapist is saying. Don’t worry. Your sub-conscious mind will still take in everything that is being said.

Other people will not feel as relaxed as the above example. You may feel that all you are doing is laying there with your eyes closed listening to the therapist talk. That’s fine. If you feel you need to scratch an itch, then do so. If you need to move slightly, then no problem. It will not break the hypnosis and it will still be as effective as a deep session.

As in the example of being on the beach, when in a state of hypnosis, you are still in control. If on the beach you heard a child scream you would come out of your sleepy state straight away. As you would if someone called your name or spoke to you. It’s the same in the therapy room. You are aware of what is going on at all times, and you have the control to come out of hypnosis at any time you want.

Hypnosis is used so your therapist can work with you sub-conscious mind. It is here that things have been repressed or things have been coded wrongly ( As with smoking, where the sub-conscious mind has written a code to tell the conscious mind that smoking is a natural act. This then becomes an automated act. By re-coding the sub-conscious mind, the craving to smoke disappears). This form of hypnosis works wonderfully well for confidence building etc. Afterwards you will feel relaxed, and full of well-being.
