“To understand what inner freedom means, imagine the state of happiness, calmness, relaxation and peace of mind of deep sleep, but combined with full awakening and awareness.”
What is Hypnosis? Hypnosis is widely misunderstood; people often entertain common misconceptions and fears about hypnosis, simply because they don’t really know what it is, and have not been properly educated in its methods. Hypnosis occurs in a completely natural state of mind, and whilst undergoing hypnosis the recipient experiences a sense of deep utter relaxation. Hypnosis mirrors the wonderful sense of calm and comfort one feels just before falling asleep. You are still entirely conscious of the noises and sounds around you, yet you are so overcome with relaxation that you wish the moment could last forever. Utilizing simple hypnotic relaxation techniques you can easily attain this state of tranquility, at which time it becomes easy, with the help of a trained hypnotherapist, to access your subconscious and visualize yourself as the healthier, happier, more motivated, and confident person you aspire to become. hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy is a cooperative joint venture between a therapist and client, a professional partnership that requires mutual effort. An individual cannot be hypnotized unless he or she agrees to and collaborates in the process—active involvement cannot be stressed enough! While under hypnosis, the hypnotherapist cannot make you do anything or say anything that you would not normally want to; you are in complete control. Hypnotherapy is not anything like stage hypnosis, where individuals under a hypnotic ‘spell’ end up virtually incarnating animals onstage, barking like dogs or quacking like ducks, for example. Stage Hypnosis is merely a form of entertainment, while Hypnotherapy is fundamentally therapeutic at its core. Why choose Hypnotherapy as an effective form of treatment? As hypnotherapists, we study human behavior and how it impacts each of our lives. A typical session is generally about 55 minutes in length, with 40 minutes dedicated to conversation and behavioral therapy, and about 15 minutes dedicated to hypnosis. It is during this time that you are fed positive, productive suggestions that correlate to the personal issues at hand, whatever those may be. Hypnotherapy is effective precisely because it bypasses the critical mind and accesses the subconscious, which is able to truly absorb the suggestions and enables you to effect positive change in your life.
