What is hypnosis?

Contrary to popular belief, hypnosis is not a state of deep sleep.
It does involve the induction of a trance-like condition, but when in it, the client is actually in an enhanced state of awareness. In this state, the conscious mind is suppressed and the subconscious mind is revealed. During this relaxed moment we can do two things, remove old unhealthy or unwanted values and patterns and replace them with new healthy desirable ones.

We all go in and out of trance many times a day. We call it day dreaming, staring or zoning out. Have you ever driven to the store and realized you remembered no details of the drive? You were in a hypnotic trance.

The subconscious mind

The subconscious mind is where we store all our beliefs, values and it controls our bodily functions. Our conscious mind is the critical factor. It judges, critiques, approves or disapproves of what gets stored in the subconscious mind. The conscious can send back unhelpful/unproductive values and beliefs for the subconscious to store. This bad information can become part of our repetition of life. Values like smoking, unhealthy eating, stress, negative self-talk, phobias or performance anxiety. It becomes part of who we are.

Think of the subconscious as a greenhouse. Roses and poison ivy will both flourish in this fertile environment. With hypnosis you do the weeding, pruning and healthy reseeding to stay happy and strong.

Go straight to the root of the problem

To make conscious level changes on issues that are programmed and repeated year after year on the subconscious level is like clipping the weeds off at ground level. With hypnosis you have the advantage of not only being able to pull them out by the root, but also by doing some direct deep seeding and rapid growing of new healthy replacements.

With hypnosis we relax, focus and close down the conscious mind allowing the subconscious to open. This can be done with assistance from a hypnotherapist. Once at the desired level of relaxation the subconscious is open for weeding and the planting of positive inventory. What your mind can conceive your body can achieve.

Empowering you to make changes

People try over and over to lose weight, stop smoking, change their negative self-talk or get over their phobias at the conscious level. Their results are mostly limited and discouraging. Not only do you get the job done effectively with hypnosis but also it feels good. You feel rested, refreshed and recharged. There is a sense of focused, centered peace with people who have been hypnotized.
