Hypnosis is a state of mind where a person experiences enhanced focus and attention, as well as increased levels of awareness. Many people have little knowledge about hypnosis, a common image that generally springs to mind is the pendulum above. Like popular psychology, stage hypnosis has it's place. Stage hypnosis is nothing like the reality of professional one to one sessions. Hypnosis is a technique which allows the hypnotherapist communicate directly with the subconscious mind.
Why would you want to do that? Your conscious mind filters everything you see, hear, smell, taste, and touch. It tries to make sense of all this information so that it can channel to the subconscious only what needs to be retained/stored for future survival within a given environment, i.e. it programmes the subconscious.
So the information that reaches the subconscious is limited to what the conscious mind believes and accepts to be true or of some value. A belief is an assumed truth (which may be distorted) reinforced by the conscious mind (your inner critic) e.g. 'I can't lose weight.' Hypnosis makes it possible to change feelings and emotions, habits and beliefs, via direct access with the subconscious mind. When desired suggestions re change are offered to the subconscious, accepted, and match the goals a person wants to achieve, harmony occurs. The result can be immediate, profound change - a sudden shift in thinking, or alternatively, it may be a gradual subtle change in the way you think. Either way, when the subconscious is engaged change can happen with minimum effort, reducing the need to use the limited resource of willpower, i.e. the conscious mind.
Hypnosis is a fast, effective and safe way of healing, hence the reason it has been around for over 600 years and stood the test of time. Not only have studies shown that it is more effective than other more traditional therapies, it achieves results much faster too. Quite simply, IT WORKS. Matt Damon, Andre Agassi, Ellen DeGeneres, Kevin Costner, Kate Middleton, Sir Winston Churchill and Albert Einstein, have all used hypnosis to improve their lives.
Here comes the science... MRI scans show that during hypnosis the density of theta brainwaves increases substantially.
The British Psychological Society has now officially declared hypnosis a proven therapeutic medium to curb stress, anxiety, pain, insomnia, irritable bowel syndrome and migraines.
