A deeply relaxed state of body and a normal, natural healthy state of mind. You are aware and in control. It happens spontaneously during the day when you daydream and just before going to sleep. In hypnosis, positive suggestions are more easily accepted and acted upon. Hypnosis is not a magic wand, but a tool to help you achieve your goals with your mind working for you.
Is Hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is a natural state that people go in and out of everyday. It is as safe as daydreaming. You will not do anything against your will – you are in control. You only accept the suggestions that you want to. People in stage shows in hypnosis are aware of what they are doing and consent to it. If an emergency should arise, or if you should go to sleep, you would wake up from your own natural response.
Who can be hypnotised?
Virtually anyone can be hypnotised, some more easily than others. A person goes into hypnosis because they choose to. No one can be hypnotised against his or her will. People who are strongly committed to reaching their goals achieve the best results. Like anything in life, the more you practise, the more easily you can slip into this wonderful relaxed state. A hypnotherapist is a guide who knows how to get there and how to use it most effectively.
What does it feel like?
A very relaxing, day-dreamy state! You may experience feelings of comfort, well-being and mild drowsiness. Other feelings such as sinking, floating or heaviness depend on the person and depth of state. You are always conscious and aware – the concentration of your mind is greatly enhanced. Because you are so aware, you may not realise that you are in hypnosis. When you awaken, there are definite signs to confirm that you have been in a hypnotic state.
Why is relaxation important?
The body and mind work at their optimum when relaxed and free of tension.
Disease: Dis = opposite to
Ease = relaxation
The opposite to relaxation is Disease! The single most important thing we can do for the health of our body and mind is to learn an effective relaxation technique and practise it DAILY. Relaxation helps everything you do.
Why are suggestions so powerful?
We are bombarded with suggestions, helpful and unhelpful, everyday. Every suggestion you experience with your senses passes through a filter in your mind – your past experiences and beliefs – which determines what you accept or reject. In hypnosis, this filter is bypassed so that suggestions you would like to believe are accepted and embedded in your subconscious mind. This changes the “little voice” in the background to work for you and with you, rather than fighting against you.
