What is Hypnosis?

It is a natural state of mind that all of us experience every day in various ways, for example: before they wake up in the morning and before they go to sleep at night, watching TV, reading, driving, day dreaming, meditating, sitting quietly in nature, or so engrossed in a project or activity that they lose all sense of time. The only difference between our natural every day trance states and trance induced in a hypnotherapy session is that it is created intentionally and deepened for therapeutic purposes.

All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. The hypnotherapist is there to guide you, but cannot cause you to do anything or accept any suggestion without your consent and participation. Although the analytic conscious mind is dormant in this state, it is always functioning. The mind has its safeguards and will only reveal that which the client is willing see. It is a myth that people are under the control of the hypnotist. Those that get up on stage in hypnosis demonstrations are carefully picked for their hypnotizability and their willingness to go along with the hypnotist's suggestions!

Therapeutic hypnosis is a natural state of deep relaxation, combined with heightened suggestibility and concentration. In the hands of a trained hypnotherapist it is a safe and powerful tool for therapeutic alter.


How does Hypnosis Work?

- 10% of our mind functions as our conscious mind, or the "thinking mind". This is where they access our temporary memory and our will power.

- There is a barrier between the conscious and unconscious minds that is called the "critical factor" of mind. Its job is to filter out or block ideas and beliefs not in agreement with our past experience or conditioning.

- 90% of our mind functions as our unconscious mind, or "feeling mind", which controls all our bodily processes, holds our unconscious and repressed memories, beliefs, and emotions. It is also the source of our imagination, creativity, and intuition. The language of the unconscious is feelings (its motivational power) and imagination (its technique of communication and creativity).

In the hypnotic state of mind, this critical filter relaxes more basically, allowing suggestions in to the unconscious (however, the client always has the conscious power to reject a suggestion!). The relaxation of the critical filter between the conscious and unconscious minds is what gives the hypnotic state its power to affect modify. When they enter this state therapeutically, they have the chance to neutralize or replace elderly limiting fears and negative beliefs with empowering and positive ones. They can also identify and transform repressed material that limits us or is the reason for our undesirable signs or addictions.
