Can I be forced to do anything I don’t want to during a session?
No. A client will never do anything against his or her own will. The client will only act on those suggestions that coincide with their personality and wishes.
Is Hypnosis a Magic Wand?
No, but
quickness with which it can instigate changes in personality and beliefs can sometimes seem like it.
What are
helpful side effects?
The human being has a central nervous system (brain and spinal chord), and a peripheral nervous system (limbs and organs). The peripheral nervous system is broken down into
autonomic nervous system which is then divided into sub-systems—the sympathetic and
parasympathetic. The sympathetic nervous system is our fight-or-flight mechanism of consciousness. The parasympathetic nervous system controls our sense of relaxation and well being. Our modern world with all of it’s many stress inducing elements keeps our sympathetic nervous system active. Hence, many stress-related illnesses are seen in people today. Utilizing hypnosis or self-hypnosis on a daily basis greatly reduces stress. Harmful hormones such as chortisol are reduced in
system. This results in a greater of sense of well being, health, and even a reduction in fat cell storage.
Is hypnosis a natural state?
Naturally, yes. Psychologists have studied
process of daily, biological rhythms in
human being. We run on circadian rhythms—24 hour daily cycles. We also run on ultradian rhythms. These ultradian rhythms are an activity-to-rest ratio. Usually every 90 to 120 minutes,
human body goes into a rest period. The cycle of rest is when we are most apt to create alpha or theta brainwaves. Basically, we daydream.
Daydreaming is important.
You may have heard that if a person does not dream during sleep, they will go mad. Likewise, daydreaming is an important aspect of our waking life. While you daydream, experiencing
ultradian period of rest, you relax and rest your body and mind for a brief healing period. With me, daydreaming is
natural tool for change and new direction.
Hypnosis is like dreaming consciously to reach your highest dreams.
