Hypnosis is a profound state of focus
and calm
where deeply rooted, unwanted behaviors (on the unconscious
level) are revised and tailored to your specific goals. It
is a collaborative process, conducted in a serene environment,
where the client or group is always aware, safe and in control.
Deeply rooted in the subconscious mind is where the majority
of our behavior and creativity is governed. In
the background, the subconscious imperceptibly rules our
lives (@ 88%), while the conscious portion of our mind (@12%),
only thinks it is running the show; but it’s not!
First off, it is important for you to know
that all human beings operate on something called the “Pain/Pleasure”
principle. This
means that we move towards pleasure and move away from
pain. This sounds extremely logical, however, there’s
one caveat. The subconscious mind views anything that
it has experienced before (or is familiar), as pleasurable,
EVEN if that condition, behavior or substance is unhealthy,
unproductive and/or bad for you! The subconscious doesn’t
care – it just wants to stay with what it knows. This
is why all humans have difficulty making changes. Therapeutic
hypnosis therefore moves the individual from a familiar, yet
unhealthy, fearful or unproductive “state” TO a new,
unfamiliar “state” which is much more productive, healthy and
desirable. This new “state” quickly morphs into your
NEW FAMILIAR TEMPLATE.
In order to effect permanent change, we must therefore work subconsciously. Hypnotherapy
offers an effective and drug free choice for achieving your
desired goals. The process of therapeutic hypnosis shortens
the course for making changes and achieving lasting results.
The actual state of hypnosis FEELS like
guided relaxation, however, it is much more powerful. When the physical
body is relaxed, the conscious mind remains aware in twilight,
day-dreamy sort of manner. In this twilight state, a
skilled hypnotherapist gains access to your SUBCONSCIOUS MIND,
where deeply rooted, unwanted behaviors and beliefs can be
“re-scripted”. We collaborate to delete the negatives
and install freshly baked positives. You end up
being the architect and
co-creator of your own outcome.
Hypnosis is conducted in a serene environment, where the client
is always safe, aware and in control -- one may “exit” the
hypnotic state at any time.
