What is it?
In between waking & sleeping is a level of consciousness known as trance.
If you have ever been so absorbed in a book or a film it has felt as if you are actually there, you were experiencing trance – it simply means being totally absorbed by your thoughts & imagination.
During hypnotic trance we can by-pass the barriers to our inner thoughts and feelings, and suggestions are acted upon much more powerfully than is possible in a “normal” state of mind.
Suggestions made to your unconscious mind can help you make positive changes in your behaviour & emotional reactions eg smoking, anxiety, phobias…
Hypnotherapy is safe & natural with no side effects. It is an incredibly powerful therapy with lasting results to help you take control of your life – fast.
How does it work? - Our unconscious mind rules our automatic reactions:
- Physiological e.g. breathing in & out, adrenaline & hormone production
- Emotional e.g. anger, empathy, phobias
- Behavioural e.g. habits; smoking, over-eating
The unconscious mind likes to keep things simple & stable. It measures & interprets every new experience against our existing beliefs & experience eg when we see a man in uniform marching towards us we might think of an attacking soldier or a bandleader depending on our experience.
When the unconscious mind finds a memory match or similarity, it files the new experience alongside the same memory – reinforcing the belief it supports eg that men in uniform are dangerous.
In doing this our unconscious mind is continually reinforcing our existing belief systems & subsequent experience. Changing Beliefs With our unconscious mind continually reinforcing our existing beliefs, it becomes very difficult to change unhelpful or out dated beliefs at will.
Despite our best efforts at a logical conscious level, changes can only be made through great effort & determination, through: conscientious reprogramming & continually reinforcing experiences which support the desired new belief ie practise.
At the same time overcoming the unconscious efforts to sabotage change ie willpower. Major changes can be achieved quickly & easily by accessing & reprogramming the unconscious beliefs system through hypnosis: - Providing helpful suggestions directly to the unconscious mind to make fundamental & long lasting shifts
- Creating powerful & motivating images of a positive future result
- Defusing outdated or unhelpful beliefs to provide perspective
- Creating multiple replays of positive behaviour ie virtual practise
- Enrolling the unconscious mind in the project at hand, minimising the requirement for will power
