About Hypnosis What is
Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is simply a relaxed, naturally occurring state of mind.
Have you ever been driving your car on the freeway, engrossed in
deep thought, and realized that you had missed your exit? Have
you ever gotten to the bottom of a page in a book and realized
that you have no idea what you just read? These are examples of
common hypnotic experiences that we all have every day. The
analytical mind eases up for a bit, allowing the unconscious
mind to access new and positive ideas.
Hypnosis offers you the opportunity to easily make adjustments
to patterns or habits that may have limited your progress in the
past.
How does it work?
Hypnosis allows you to contact the subconscious mind directly
where we are able to accept change much more readily. The
subconscious mind is the control center for autonomic bodily
functions, behaviors and emotions as well as the location where
we store all of our memories. The conscious mind monitors access
to the subconscious and accesses these memories and patterns in
order to take action.
Let's say that your conscious mind is like a teenager running
free in a house and the subconscious mind is the parent working
in the office. The teen and the parent may not always agree on
the best ways to manage the house. The teenager might think that
he is the most important member of the family and that he can do
things in the house without permission from the parent.
When people decide to make changes in their life that might not
be fully congruent with their resources, it is like the teenager
attempting to rearrange the furniture or sell the cat without
permission. For example, this is why we start a diet, and then
fall quickly into the old eating patterns. We need to get in
touch with the parent to get agreement! Hypnosis allows you to
directly access the parent and make lasting changes that are
congruent with your mind, body and spirit.
Can Anyone Be Hypnotized?
No! People with brain damage cannot. If you are willing to be
hypnotized, then you are a good candidate. The depth of hypnosis
varies with a person's ability to respond. If you are not a
naturally responsive subject you can improve your receptivity to
hypnosis with practice.
Is Hypnosis Medically Approved?
Yes! The American Medical Association and the American
Psychiatric Association have approved hypnotherapy for use by
professionally responsible individuals. The British Medical
Association also adopted hypnosis as a viable therapeutic tool
in 1958. (Same year as the AMA).
Is Hypnosis Dangerous?
No! The induction of hypnosis is never dangerous to the subject,
although personal disappointments may arise because of
unrealistic expectations or preconceived misinformation.
Can a person in hypnosis be controlled?
No way! It only appears that way in stage hypnosis, where the
hypnotist asks for volunteers or picks people out of the crowd
that most likely would have been the class clowns in high
school. Professional hypnosis is quite different. A
Hypnotherapist is there to help you with your issues and needs
your cooperation with the process. If the Hypnotherapist were to
give you suggestions that you didn't agree with or were morally
against your beliefs, you would either refuse them or you would
stand right up and walk out of that session. you must also
understand that when hypnotized, you do not black out. You
actually hear and see everything very clearly.
Can a person be stuck in hypnosis?
Never! If you are thinking, what if I was to be hypnotized and
something were to happen to the hypnotist and I were left alone,
still hypnotized? What would happen? Simple! You would just snap
right out of hypnosis whenever you were ready. When you are in a
state of hypnosis, anything alarming or of importance would pop
you right out of this state. There is absolutely no danger to
you in a state of hypnosis.
