What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness which is an
artificially induced trance state resembling sleep with a level of awareness.
Heightened susceptibility to suggestion and direction, enabling absorption by
the subconscious mind with enhanced concentration and focused attention while
blocking out sources of distraction. Hypnosis is used as a therapeutic
technique or therapy, to allow behaviour modification, recover suppressed
memories, and habit change by assisting a person to exercise more control over
their behaviour, emotions, general physical well-being and thereby hypnosis is
able to treat a wide range of ailments. In laymen’s terms hypnosis is the
introduction of suggestions into the powerful subconscious mind. The therapist
will attempt to get the conscious mind quiet or passive, so that the therapist
has access to the subconscious in order to introduce the suggestions. Just like
installing a new computer programme. The ability to enter this state of
consciousness opens the doors to countless possibilities for healing, self-exploration
and desired change. The power is in the mind of the person being hypnotized,
you are in control at all times.
Hypnosis is “Guided Meditation” or “Controlled Daydreaming”.
