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”.
