What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a naturally induced state of relaxed concentration - a
state of mind and body in which we communicate suggestions to our
subconscious mind. This part of our mind influences what we
think, how we feel, and the choices that we make. It can
actually control pain.
 There is no magic to achieving success with
self-hypnosis. Almost anyone who chooses to can reach deep
relaxation and redirected focus.
Hypnosis is not sleep, magic, voodoo,
or mind control. Hypnosis is not unconsciousness, as you are
always aware of your surroundings.
Hypnosis is a very normal, natural
state that we all experience in some way everyday. Examples
of daily hypnosis are: daydreaming, driving a car and
realizing that you can't remember the last three or four streets
you passed, or worse, driving right past the exit! Another
example is when you are so engrossed in a book or movie you don't
hear someone speaking to you.
These are examples of a light hypnotic state.
In these instances, the conscious part of the mind has been distracted,
allowing the subconscious mind to take over.
Will I do Something Against My Will?
You cannot be made to do anything that would go against your moral
beliefs. While hypnotized you are always in control and will
accept only those suggestions that would be beneficial to you. |
