Hypnosis is best defined as a deep state of relaxation and concentration, wherein the mind becomes distant and detached from everyday cares and concerns.

This state is neither sleep nor unconsciousness,but an altered state of awareness, often referred to as the ‘hypnotic trance’ (Iprefer the phrase ‘creative relaxation’).

When in this state, the conscious and analytical part of the mind can be safely bypassed to some degree, allowing access to the unconscious (subconscious) part of your mind. Your creativeunconscious mind can take on board new positive helpful information in the form of suggestion and create a positive shift in your inner world.

A shift in your inner world can result in a positive shift in your thoughts, feelings and behaviour.

USING HYPNOSIS AS A THERAPY

People often talk about the fact that humans only use 10 percent of their brains. Of course this isn’t true, it just means that your creative unconscious mind is working much harder than we understand or know 24/7. Since the
unconscious mind can be accessed and influenced using hypnosis, it makes sense that hypnosis is used for therapeutic purposes.

Using hypnosis in this way can be extremely effective and is often referred to as hypnotherapy. Hypnosis can offer relief for many physical, psychological and emotional conditions. It is excellent for bringing about and maintaining the balance of the system. Literally thousands of clients benefit from its use every day. It can help restore equilibrium in our emotions, and maintain mind/body balance within our system.

THE POWER OF SELF HYPNOSIS

Well quite simply, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. But the term self-hypnosis
usually means when we actively use hypnosis on ourselves as opposed to seeing a hypnotist in a live one to one environment. Some people like to use self-hypnosis on themselves and make up their ownsuggestions.

Whilst useful, this requires a lot of practice.My website concentrates on how you can get the most beneficial use of self hypnosisby using my  recorded self-hypnosis sessions – such as those at  www.HypnoShop.com or www.hypnosisdownloads.com.

A PERFECTLY NATURAL STATE

?Many people shy away from the use of self-hypnosis because they don’t understand how or why it works, or fear they cannot be hypnotized. What they may not understand is that they experience hypnosis on a daily basis.

Hypnosis is perfectly natural and every single one of us enters naturally occurring states of hypnosis all day long – be it day-dreaming, being engrossed in a book or when watching TV.

So if you have any doubts that you are able to experience hypnosis, know that we all experience it naturally many times a day. By purposefully and systematically entering hypnosis we have an opportunity to foster physical
and emotional balance on an unconscious level and therefore improve the quality of our lives.
