Great Question... What is Hypnosis?

Well, Hypnosis is a natural, relaxed state of inner-focused attention. Your conscious mind relaxes and your subconscious mind becomes open to positive suggestions.

Did you know we go ‘in and out’ of hypnosis many times during the day, especially right before falling asleep and upon waking in the morning. We are often in a state similar to ‘hypnosis’ while we watch a movie or drive a car. (Have you ever arrived at your destination and forgotten most of the drive home? Or become so involved in a movie that your body responds physiologically to it though it’s not ‘real?’)

These are subtle forms of hypnosis. While stage hypnosis is used for entertainment, therapeutic hypnosis, called hypnotherapy, is used to assist a person toward a desired goal.

Purpose…

In The Guided Imagery Handbook’s imagery, “Purpose” you walk up a hill toward your purpose, bypassing the distractions that might keep you from it. At the top you become one with it and embody the feelings of success and gratification. A great imagery for self-discovery, inspiration, and motivation.

Animal Representing…

This is my niece Rachel’s beautiful cat, Ethyl. As stated in the 500+ symbol dictionary of The Guided Imagery Handbook, the Cat represents self-direction, self-approval, and independence. The cat is a reminder to attain greater independence through learning new, positive survival skills.

Within the “Animal Representing” imagery, in The Guided Imagery Handbook, you envision an animal that represents an emotion, issue or quality you would like to release or enhance. Whatever animal shows up for you has a message for you.

Car...

In the “Car” imagery in The Guided Imagery Handbook, you take a drive in a vehicle your imagination provides. The type of car you envision, the road, and the landscape all have meaning. For additional information about colors, landscape, etc., you can look in the 500+ universal symbol dictionary near the back of the book.

A skill most of us were never taught: noticing our own thinking.

Psychologists call this metacognition …the ability to observe and evaluate our own thought processes.

The concept was introduced by developmental psychologist John Flavell, who described it as thinking about thinking.

Most of the time our interpretations happen automatically. We form conclusions quickly, often without examining the assumptions behind them.

Metacognition is the moment we pause and ask:

Why did I interpret that situation that way?
What assumption am I making?
Is there another explanation?

Research shows that this type of awareness helps people monitor and regulate their thinking, which improves learning, decision-making, and emotional regulation.

Instead of being carried by every thought, we begin to observe the patterns behind them.

And that awareness alone can change how we respond.

A wedding can be the most important day of one’s life, and yet, the planning of the wedding can create stress, fear and uncertainty. Using hypnosis can release stress and bring you back to balance, to refocus your attention on the love that initiated the wedding.

This allows you to enjoy and be present in this wonderful celebration of your new life together.

Childhood Home

In the “Childhood Home” imagery in The Guided Imagery Handbook, you visit your childhood home to express what might have gone unsaid as a child, realize what you learned there (through supportive or challenging experiences), and how it can be used positively in the present.
