Hypnosis is a state of mind that allows you to access inner resources and think about things in a new way so that you can take steps towards achieving the desired outcome. Hypnosis enables the client to achieve a state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation. When in hypnosis, the conscious mind (that busy, critical, analytical part of the mind) takes a rest.
Hypnosis allows people to tap into the storehouse of information that lies in the subconscious (also referred to as the unconscious) mind and make positive changes to thought patterns, habits, or the effects of traumatic incidents that are having a negative impact, either mentally or physically. It is a pleasant, voluntary state of relaxed attentive concentration, resulting in an altered state of consciousness, during which the conscious critical mind is relaxed and relatively inactive, and with a person's permission, the doorway to the subconscious, inner mind is opened.
In this comfortable state, suggestibility is heightened, mental absorption is increased, the senses are heightened, and the imagination is activated in a controlled manner. The inner mind is more receptive to acceptable, beneficial suggestions. Hypnosis reprograms, re-wires, and re-imprints any negative thoughts, and behaviours, at a deep subconscious level.
