What is 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. It feels to me like
Day Dreaming. To others, it feels like a nap. 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. I often tell my clients to pretend as though what
they are wishing is actually their truth. To imagine in their mind's eye that what they are hoping for is already done.
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. I thought the same
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, you spirit within, your God, whatever your belief!!! This will work for you if
you let it.
