What is hypnosis?
Everyone experiences hypnosis regularly. It occurs just before you fall asleep and just as you awaken. Other examples include losing track of time when reading a good book or when watching an interesting movie. In essence, hypnosis is simply a state of heightened relaxation and altered awareness. When you are relaxed in this way, it is possible to make contact with your powerful subconscious mind. This is the part of the mind that contains infinite wisdom and a very deep level of intelligence. It is your untapped resource for creativity and imagination. The subconscious mind is the seat of all your emotions and therefore directs nearly all your behavior. Most importantly, the subconscious is responsible for maintaining the body in good health and for all the autonomic processes, e.g., breathing, blood circulation, tissue repair and controlling blood-sugar levels. Hypnosis is a doorway to another world - your inner world, the enchanted realms of your imagination. Using hypnosis, whereby the subconscious mind can be contacted to promote desired changes and physical well being, empowers your future.
How does hypnotherapy work?
Your subconscious is the part of you that stores all your memories, emotions and patterns of behavior. A powerful and hidden resource, the subconscious can control the way we feel or how we react and often overrides our conscious beliefs. When you relax, your mind can function more efficiently and find solutions from within. Through hypnosis, the subconscious mind becomes more receptive and will hear and accept positive thoughts and ideas (suggestions). Sometimes this may be all that is needed to calm a fear or break a habit. The subconscious is also a treasure trove of imaginative and creative thinking. Relaxed through hypnosis, you may envision images and symbols, epiphanies that can usher you into a new way of being, as well as give you the ability to look into your past to find explanations to your feelings.
