What is Hypnosis?

Magic it is not; it is no more than a state of deep relaxation. We have all slipped into it at one time or another without realizing it. You get behind the wheel of your car, put your foot on the gas pedal and then find yourself at your destination with the last thing you remember was pullng out of the driveway.

How did that happen you ask? Well, your conscious mind was focused somewhere else. You started thinking of something which was more important to you while your subconscious mind took over the actual mechanics of driving the car. Had a car suddenly stopped in front of you, instantaneously you would have come to full consciousness and responded appropriately.

This is an example of what is called an "altered state of consciousness" and this is what it is like when you are in that deep state of relaxation called a hypnotic trance or hypnosis. No magic here, as it is you who puts yourself into an altered state. In fact it can be argued that all hypnosis is, in reality, self-hypnosis. Just as you were always in control in the driving example, so you will be when you are experiencing guided hypnosis with a clinical therapist.

Tools

Once it took years of work to deal with traumas from our past, negative memories, fears; limiting beliefs and behavior patterns but now with tools like Hypnosis, EFT and NLP, which are easily learned, an individual can clear up many such problems in a relatively short peridiod of time.

If you sincerely want to get rid of the stresses in your life, which can show upas smoking, weight, anxiety, fear of flying, or public speaking, and if you are willing to make a modest effort by working with a qualified therapist, who can teach you how to use these tools, it can be done with a minimum of time.
