What is hypnosis and hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis is a genuine physical state of deep relaxation allowing access to the unconscious mind so that desired changes can be made.

The unconscious mind is where our memories, thoughts and beliefs are stored and where most of our brain functions quite automatically. The sub-conscious is also the source of your emotions and therefore directs nearly all your behaviour.

Hypnosis enables the hypnotherapist to communicate with the unconscious mind so that therapeutic work can be carried out.

The subconscious mind is extremely powerful and if you wish to change there is no limit to what it can achieve.....change that is quick, lasting and effective. By using hypnosis you are empowering yourself to take control of your life and to unlock your full potential.

Will I lose control?

Absolutely not. You are in total control and aware of all your senses at all times. You can voluntarily leave the relaxed state should you wish to do so.  Suggestions given during hypnosis can be accepted or rejected by the subconscious mind. If any suggestion is given that is in conflict with your moral code it will be rejected because the subconscious mind ALWAYS acts for your betterment.

Can I be Hypnotised?

Approximately 90-95% of the population can be hypnotized. Epileptics, people under the influence of alcohol or drug users, young children (probably below age 4) are not good hypnosis subjects. Stronger-minded and stronger-willed people are easier to hypnotize; not the other way around as is usually assumed.

You can achieve what you want to achieve using hypnosis.

Surely my willpower is enough to help me make the changes I want to make?

Imagination will always win over willpower i.e. the subconscious mind will always win over the conscious mind. For instance pretend you have a piece of delicious chocolate cake in front of you. You consciously think to yourself "I don't want that cake, I'm on a diet and it’s full of calories". At the same time your unconscious mind is imagining how good it will taste..... all those lovely chocolatey tastes swirling round your mouth. The result being that you eat the cake. For this reason most diets are a waste of time...it is the imagination you have to employ to achieve what you desire.

Imagination is the language of hypnosis and is an amazing self help tool that once you have mastered you will never look back. What you imagine and how you imagine it will bring you the performance and outcome you want. This is where hypnosis comes in -it is the key to reprogramming the subconscious mind.
