What is Hypnosis and how can it help me?
Hypnosis is a purely natural state that allows direct access to the subconscious mind, where our learned behaviour pattern-making systems reside.
Milton Erickson described trance as an “inward focus of attention” to the advantage of the subject.
As hypnosis is a purely natural state. Where trance also refers to natural common everyday experiences, such as daydreaming, listening to music, meditation.
Most of the problems that affect human beings are unconscious, and unfortunately it is difficult to control unconscious behaviour through conscious effort alone, even if we want to.
The conscious and subconscious minds have two completely different functions. There is no clear definition of “consciousness”, one suggestion is that a person’s normal state of consciousness is the one in which he or she spends the major part of his waking hours. While the conscious mind is the rational part and is the seat of our
wishes, desires and aspirations, the subconscious mind is full of wanted and unwanted programs from early life until now, that play over and over again automatically.
The subconscious mind represents a huge, massive Library, where all our experiences we ever made are stored. All our programming since childhood, what we have learned, as well as other people’s experiences, and input from sources such as family, teachers, friends, and the media. Habits kick in and we can easily believe we are limited and victims of circumstance that can’t change.
The solution, then, is to have the conscious and subconscious mind more in coherence.
Hypnosis is about direct communication with the subconscious mind with the client’s permission, and implementing special strategies. Importantly, the client has the control and the hypnotist is not able to think or perform anything against the client’s will.
It is a very powerful tool in making positive changes in destructive patterns and beliefs at the subconscious level, that will suit the needs and wishes and therefore be accepted by the conscious mind, with the old ways of behaving no longer applying. Anyone can be hypnotised if they choose to. No one can be forced to participate if they refuse.
If you have had enough of anxiety, negative thinking and constant worries about the past intruding on your life and preventing you from moving forward, give hypnosis a try. You have only your anxieties to lose and everything positive to gain.
