Although there has been an explosion of scientific research into hypnosis over the last hundred years – and its incredible healing powers have been scientifically documented over and over again – this makes it even more remarkable that there is no widely accepted definition of hypnosis.

 

We agree on what it does, but disagree as to why. What most hypnotists and researchers will settle on, is that it is a state of focused or concentrated attention where we become much more open and responsive to suggestion.

 

However, hypnosis is much more than this.

 

It also the state where you bypass your conscious mind and tap into your subconscious: the realm of imagination and emotion; the realm where your belief in your own limitations and capabilities were programed into you at an early age; and the realm where your seemingly irrational impulses arise.

 

What this means in more practical terms, is that hypnosis is a state where you can begin to reprogram your subconscious so you no longer feel the impulse to smoke that cigarette or eat that piece of cake.

 

It is also a state where you have such focused and concentrated attention that you can begin to alter your subjective perception of things. Perhaps the chronic pain that had been blighting your life. Even going so far as to change it so profoundly that this pain no longer feels as sharp and intense and intolerable. Perhaps even making it disappear altogether as you instruct your subconscious to alter its pathway.

 

Hypnosis is also a state that allows you to harness the incredible power of your imagination to change your life in so many different ways. Hypnotists like to express this more poetically with the saying: 'what you can believe and conceive, you can achieve.'

 

For example, you can use this power to imagine your broken leg has healed and heal it faster. You can use it to imagine a real increase in your immune system's b-cells and t-cells in order to help you in your fight with cancer. You can even use it to imagine yourself into a life where you are no longer shy, but instead love to go to parties and talk to new people.

 

It is also a state where you can gently dissolve the emotions that have helped to support and maintain various physical and emotional illnesses. Thereby insuring that these illnesses now have one less leg to stand on.

 

HYPNOSIS HAS EVEN BEEN APPROVED BY VARIOUS MEDICAL ASSOCIATIONS:

 

Hypnosis was approved by the British Medical Association in 1955, the American Medical Association in 1958, and the Canadian Medical Association in 1959. It was even approved by Pope Pius XII in 1956 (for the relief of pain during childbirth).

 

And unlike other treatments, hypnosis cannot lead to an infection or overdose. It has no toxic side-effects. It does not conflict with any medication you may be taking. It is safe and 100% natural.

WHAT TO EXPECT DURING YOUR SESSION

 

You close your eyes as you recline back in a chair. The hypnotist starts to speak to you in a rhythmic tone. Perhaps asking you to imagine you see the number ten as you begin to let go of all the tension in your forehead and eyebrows.

 

The words might even ebb and flow with your breathing as you relax your eyes so deeply they just do not want to open. And you might notice your body feels like it is  sinking deeper as you become pleasantly detached from your surroundings.

 

You might even follow the voice further inwards until you reach the point where your conscious mind effortlessly steps aside. Allowing your subconscious - the part that has been guiding and protecting you since you were an embryo - to take control.

 

Then as you move deeper into this profound state, you might find yourself relaxing even more. Perhaps more than you have ever done. And while the voice continues to gently encourage you, you find yourself effortlessly slipping into the realm of imagination and emotions where you become deeply receptive to helpful suggestions.

 

And as you relax even deeper into this state, you find your ability to focus grows so powerful - any image, memory or emotion that arises within you becomes so real and vivid. Allowing you to create powerful new memories and erase old painful ones.

 

Then when you finally emerge you find yourself feeling totally relaxed and restored. With new insights and a growing sense of confidence in your ability to live a richer life.
