Power Hypnosis
― Milton H. Erickson
Hypnosis is an extraordinary tool to help you overcome unwanted habits, improve self-confidence, enhance healing and release unnatural fears and phobias. It allows you to gain control over your ‘unconscious’ processes. Using hypnosis, we can affect emotional states, blood pressure, relaxation, and even more.
So what exactly is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a normal, naturally occurring state. Everyone experiences it everyday. We enter the hypnotic state just before we fall asleep at night, when we are Daydreaming, Driving, Reading a book, Watching television or Playing a sport (being in the zone).
So why are these considered states of hypnosis? One way to describe hypnosis is as a state of resolutely focused attention. In daydreaming, your attention is filled by your memories and imagination. External reality ‘fades away.’ Thus your attention is fixated inwardly.
What is a trance?
When you drive, especially on long, boring journeys, you can daydream too. In this case, your subconscious is doing the driving. Even though you are not paying attention to where you are geographically, you are driving safely. Your subconscious mind is also protecting you, because you are keeping a safe distance between your car and the car in front of you and you are subconsciously paying attention to the oncoming traffic. Hence you can arrive and not remember how you got there, or what you did along the way (hypnotic amnesia).
Your subconscious mind will always protect you when you are under hypnosis for you will not do anything that is against your personal or moral convictions. If a suggestion were given that was against your personal or moral convictions, you would either ignore the suggestion or you would bring yourself out of hypnosis. You are in complete control.
How can I use hypnosis to help me?
Hypnotherapy allows you to focus inward in a relaxed, open attitude in order to make profound changes. Put aside negative habits and emotions, fears, doubts, anxieties and self-limiting concepts while enjoying the experience of profound relaxation. Hypnosis will help you to rediscover your innate truth, beauty, goodness, commitment and achieve your greatest potential.
― Albert Einstein
Remember, what you think is what you get. Hypnosis means making a powerful working connection between your conscious, subconscious and unconscious minds and being in fuller control of your thought patterns. If you think you can – you will. It all begins in the mind.
