 Also known as therapeutic hypnosis, hypnotherapy is a time-tested technique for improving a wide spectrum of conditions and alleviating symptoms. A trained hypnotherapist uses relaxation and focus exercises to help you enter a hypnotic state. This is a state of consciousness where you are exceptionally alert and, at the same time, very relaxed. In this state, you are more responsive to ideas and suggestions.
If you want to quit smoking, for example, or overcome a fear of public speaking, you are more receptive to initiating the changes you need to make when you’re in a hypnotic state. Think of it as planting a seed during your hypnotherapy session. Later, as you go about your day to day activities, this “idea seed” continues to grow, giving you the inner drive you need to reach your goal!
When you are in a hypnotic state, your body is relaxed and your mind is fully awake. This combination is ideal for cementing ideas such as, “I will lose weight,” or “I will free myself from the fear that’s holding me back.” Under hypnosis, you are extra receptive to the power of suggestion. Rest assured, you will never do anything that you don’t want to do. But you will be able to overcome mental blocks and emotional obstacles that are preventing you from living life to the fullest. |
