Mind Over Matter Hypnotherapy

Your spirit was born to soar. Like a beautiful hot air
balloon. If you are weighed down with sandbags and rope,
how can you ever get off the ground? With each dead
weight you throw out and every tie you cut, you will feel
your soul get lighter and lighter.

What is Hypnosis?

The truth about hypnosis- A relaxed, focused state of concentration with heightened
suggestibility. A state in which your subconscious mind is open to suggestions and positive
changes.

In reality, there is a specific state that your mind enters into when it is receptive to suggestions. It is not
an unusual state of mind, and you may even feel that you are not in a state of Hypnosis. For most, it is
simply a very relaxed feeling. The mind is very open to visualizations . The more real you allow the
experience to become in the subconscious mind, the more effect it will have on your behavior.

Over the years I have heard several different definitions of Hypnosis. Most people fear that they will not
have control over their actions when they are Hypnotized. That Hypnosis will make them do things they
would not want to do. This is far from the truth! You will not do or say anything that you are not
comfortable with or do not want to do. Most people are scared. It is far from scary. I like to relate it to
Meditation and going within. I believe the fear comes from all of us having seen stage shows. I can not
make you quack like a duck unless you want to quack like a duck!! The people on the stage want to act out
or they would not have allowed that to happen. They would not have done that unless they were
comfortable doing so!

Hypnosis is based on your belief system. If you believe it will work, it will. If you believe it won't, it
won't. If you do not believe the suggestions that the Hypnotherapist is giving you, you will "Not" accept
that as your truth! Plain and simple. If you do not believe that you can be hypnotized, then this will be
your truth, and more than likely it will not work. The only other thing that negatively influences Hypnosis
is Fear. This is due to the fact that you most likely will not allow yourself to relax and let go.

Hypnosis can be compared to DAYDREAMING, or the feeling of loosing yourself in a movie or a good
book. You are so involved with what you are seeing or reading that it is as if you are really there. You are
fully conscious, but you tune out everything around you. You focus intently at the subject at hand, to the
near exclusion of all thought. One of the examples I like to give is driving on the freeway and missing our
exit...we focused on our thoughts on something other than driving. We were Hypnotized! We do this
quite often if you really think about it. Now think about this....Who was in control? We were! If someone
had yelled "Look out, fire, etc" even though we were focused heavily on our own thoughts, we would have
responded immediately. The biggest misconception that I find is that people feel that they would not be in
control. This just won't happen. You could ask the Hypnotherapist to use the restroom if need be, that is
how aware you are.

You cannot feel Hypnosis, because both parts of the mind are still doing the same things they would
normally do....just that now they are doing it together. You will still be aware of conscious thoughts, but
you will be unaware of the subconscious process. So, it feels the same as normal!

We are constantly Hypnotizing ourselves. For instance, when we are constantly putting ourselves down,
calling ourselves names, etc...., we are creating a habit and if you do it long enough, you will have the belief
that you asked for. Do not say or declare something unless you want it to become your truth!! I strongly
believe that WHAT YOU THINK ABOUT YOU BRING ABOUT!

So, just imagine what would happen if you changed the suggestions that you give yourself on a daily
basis??? You have the mind power to make yourself happy or sad, afraid or confident. Lots of people have
power. Lots of people have power over others. Hypnosis gives us power from within. The power to
become whole. Hypnosis gave me my power back and that is why it is so important for me to share this
with you.

Hypnosis is a tool that allows us to envision the goal as already accomplished...it uses all the senses...
seeing, hearing, smelling, tasting, touching, and most of all emotions/feelings of how great you feel now
that your goal has been accomplished! Visualize the end result and leave the details to the universe, your
spirit within, your God, whatever your belief!!!
