Hypnosis is
formal process of accessing subconscious thought and then directing it to support intended goals. Think of a hypnotist as a tour guide. They point out wonderful vacation spots in your mind, which you may visit if you choose. They create a safe, relaxing environment and are prepared to direct
client toward
still, peaceful depths of subconscious thought. For most clients hypnosis is
deepest level of relaxation they have ever experienced.
Then
hypnotist offers
clients subconscious mind
help it needs. They assit
client to relax and focus inwardly and then gently give
subconscious mind
new direction it needs. Also, because
imagination is part of
subconscious mind
hypnotist will help clients create vivid imagery involving goals and desires, which can offer dramatically positive results. The hypnotist should tailor all sessions to
specific needs of
client. A typical session might be 15-25 minutes long. Often there is soft music or nature sounds playing quietly in
background. Some hypnotists may have clients wear headphones, which allows them to blend music and voice while blocking out any extra sounds that may interfere with
process of relaxation. It’s also ideal if they record
session so you can listen to it on your own.
What a Deal Not only can you create positive healthy changes with hypnosis, but you are involved with
process. You choose to enter this level relaxation, accept
suggestions and create
images supporting your success. Hypnosis is also an empowering tool you can use on your own. There is no withdrawal, patches or gum, no sedation, medications, prescriptions, interactions or allergic reactions. And once you know
technique, it’s free.
