Hypnosis is as ancient as the human mind itself. Why? Because it is a
natural state of mind.. albeit one that is different from most people's
every day state. If you have ever felt totally absorbed in a book or
watching a movie or been driving and realized that you weren't consciously aware
of the last 5 minutes, you have been in a hypnotic state. In this state
you are both hyper-focused and more relaxed. When induced in a controlled
atmosphere, such as the hypnotherapists office, you will be able to address your
subconscious - that 85% of your brain that stores your memories and controls a lot of
your actions - in a directed way, allowing you to undo old , no longer valid,
patterns of behavior.
The British Society of Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis
states:
"In therapy, hypnosis usually involves the person experiencing
a sense of deep relaxation with their attention narrowed down, and focused on
appropriate suggestions made by the therapist."
These suggestions help people make positive changes within
themselves. Long gone are the days when hypnosis was seen as waving watches
and controlling people's minds. In a hypnotherapy session you are always in
control and you are not made to do anything. It is generally accepted that all
hypnosis is ultimately self-hypnosis. A hypnotist merely helps to facilitate
your experience - hypnotherapy is not about being made to do things, in fact it
is the opposite, it is about empowerment.
Once hypnosis is induced you will feel relaxed, but aware. What you
communicate is entirely in your control. You will be aware throughout the
session and your will be able to remember everything. Sometimes when you
return to your everyday state of mind you will find that time has passed either
more quickly and less quickly than you thought. Time distortion is a
natural byproduct of hypnosis.
You will only be hypnotized if you want to be - you are in control.
Your hypnotherapist is only a knowledgeable guide and facilitator.
Similarly the effectiveness will depend on your motivation to change.
Hypnosis is not a magic bullet. BUT, particularly if you have tried
everything else and really want to change, hypnotherapy IS the way to remove
those subconscious blocks. This is documented in the medical literature.
For example
this
paper published by The Mayo Clinic.
Rather than genes, it is our beliefs that control
our lives. PSYCH-K is a set of simple, self-empowering techniques to change
your beliefs and perceptions that impact your life at a cellular level.
~ Bruce Lipton, PhD, cellular
biologist best-selling author of The Biology of Belief: Unleashing the Power
of Consciousness, Matter and Miracles, published in 2005
We can use PYSCH-K alone or as an adjunct to hypnotherapy, depending on your
desires and needs. It is a a quick way to change your limiting beliefs.
