What is Hypnosis

Hypnosis is first and foremost a natural state of consciousness. For most people it feels very much like the drowsy state one experiences just before drifting off to sleep. Hypnosis feels wonderful! When in hypnosis, the body is relaxed and the mind is relaxed so that good, acceptable suggestions are readily incorporated into the subconscious mind.  The subconscious is the part of the mind that makes us do what we do, so a positive change here can have reap tremendous benefits. 

Hypnosis is not sleep. A hypnotized person is not unconscious. A person in hypnosis hears everything that is said and remembers everything that goes on during the session. A hypnotized person will not do anything that violates his/her moral, religious or ethical code.  If the hypnotized person is given a suggestion that he/she is uncomfortable with, he/she will reject the suggestion. Hypnosis is a 100% consent state and unlike many medications, there are no contraindications with hypnosis.

When you are comfortable with the process, the session will begin. You will be guided into a very deep state of mental and physical relaxation. Although very physically relaxed, you will be extremely alert mentally. You will be aware of everything around you. The hypnotist will then give your subconscious mind suggestions for the changes you desire to make or problems you would like addressed, allowing you to accomplish goals and eliminate problems. As you complete the third element of the session, you will emerge from this deep state of relaxation with suggestions of good health and a positive attitude. You will emerge feeling terrific
