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.
