About Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is a natural state that we all pass through every day, going in to and out of sleep and it is essential to our healthy functioning. It is a very relaxed and powerfully focused state. Another common example of hypnosis is when you are engrossed in a book or film to the extent of not being aware of what’s going on around you, such as someone calling you for your dinner.
This hyperattentive state allows for powerful and rapid change because the logical, rationalising and measuring conscious mind is temporarily set aside. This allows any suggestions made, to sink very deeply into the sub-conscious mind where they are acted upon for the clients benefit.
The sub-conscious mind, unlike the conscious, doesn’t question or distinguish between reality and imagination. So, for example, in hypnosis, if you imagine that you are running a race, the body will begin to respond as if you actually were.
This is the amazing power of hypnosis, that, using the imagination, positive change can be effected for emotional and physical healing and also for further development of physical, intellectual and intuitive powers.
We use only a small proportion of our minds capabilities and with hypnosis we can begin to utilise some of that untapped potential.
Being able to communicate directly with the sub-conscious allows us to work with and benefit a whole range of issues from the physical to the emotional. A list of what can be achieved by harnessing the power of the subconscious through hypnosis would be as comprehensive as what is controlled by the sub-conscious. For example, all of our habits and the thoughts that control our behaviour come from our sub-conscious mind. 98% of everything we do comes from our sub-conscious programming. We are normally unaware of the thoughts and feelings that reside there but they are more powerful than the thoughts and feelings that we are aware of.
Some people have worries around hypnosis because of what they have seen on TV or in stage shows. What is important to realise is that nobody can hypnotise you unless you are willing to be hypnotised. While you are hypnotised your mind is not under anybody elses control. If any suggestions were made to you which you were not happy with, or say, the fire alarm went off, then you would pop out of hypnosis immediately and react as the situation required.
Recent scientific advances such as PET scans have shown that in hypnosis completely different areas of the brain are active than one would find in sleeping or awake states; it is a completely different state. Even though much remains to be learned about hypnosis, it has been used by humans since time immemorial to enrich their awareness and experience of life.
Hypnotherapy is psychotherapy carried out using the tool of hypnosis. This brings rapid and powerful results because hypnosis brings us straight to the core of the problem.
The logical mind can work with about 8 items of information at any one time; while our subconscious mind controls our breathing, body temperature and thousands of other details, 24 hours a day. In hypnosis we can attune to this deeper, more powerful level within ourselves where the constraints of the conscious mind disappear. In fact hypnosis provides the keys to a realm that is at the core of who and what we are as holistic beings.
Tension is who you think you should be. Relaxation is who you are."
