HYPNOSIS ?
Common Questions and Answers
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a technique that helps a person achieve an altered
state of consciousness and then employs the use of visualizations and suggestions to help the client gain attain specific
or generalized goals.
WHAT IS AN "ALTERED STATE"?
An altered state is a state which is different from the one in which
we normally operate when we are awake. The level of brain activity slows down and we are less alert on the conscious level.
In altered states, the subconscious mind can be accessed and made to work for you. Hypnosis takes advantage of speaking to
the subconscious to bring it into sync with the desires of the conscious mind.
WILL I BE ABLE TO HEAR
THE WORDS OR WILL THEY BE SUBLIMINAL?
Yes, your conscious mind will be able to hear
the hypnotist?s words at some level - although you may not pay attention to them consciously if you become extremely
relaxed. On the other hand, subliminal messages, which are used in some audio and visual formats, are designed so that a person
may not hear them or eve be aware that they are being exposed to them, even when that person is in a fully awake state of
mind.
CAN EVERYONE BE HYPNOTIZED?
We each pass through altered states as we go into and
out of sleep each morning and evening. It is estimated that at least a hypnotist can place at least 95% of
the population in an altered state.
HOW SUCCESSFUL IS HYPNOSIS?
The degree of success depends upon a number of factors,
including the individual's desire for change, the number of sessions, what the person wants to achieve realistically, and
the individual's trust in the hypnotist.
WHAT IS SELF-HYPNOSIS?
This is a way for a person to be conditioned without
using a second party to give the suggestions. Self-hypnosis is relatively easy to learn and is extremely effective. There
are no trust issues to deal with, since the recipient maintains total control of the entire process. One can learn to go into
an altered state through one of a number of mind control techniques, or by using previously recorded tapes and CDs with relaxations
and/or suggestions and visualization exercises.
HOW WILL I FEEL AFTER HYPNOSIS? WILL I BE ABLE TO DRIVE?
Generally clients experience a deep state of relaxation.
Some clients use hypnosis primarily for stress management, since they feel so good afterwards.
HOW DOES HYPNOSIS DIFFER FROM OTHER MIND
TECHNIQUES LIKE SILVA, YOGA NIDRA, OR TM?
These are also methods of controlling the mind, but
the intention behind each method is somewhat different. Previous practice of any mind control method can enhance your use
of hypnosis or self-hypnosis, because you will be able to achieve an altered state more easily.
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS USED FOR?
Some common traditional uses of hypnosis include weight
management, stress management, smoking cessation, past life regression, improved confidence, improved self-esteem, pain management,
improved sleep, public speaking, sports enhancement, marketing, creativity enhancement, controlling various undesirable habits
and addictions, improved sex life, improved focus and concentration, getting organized, time management, general self-improvement,
and finding things that have been misplaced.
Non-traditional uses include hypnosis to increase intuitive
capabilities, enhance abilities to channel healing energy and open energy centers, examining past lives through regression
therapy, and accessing the akashic records. Hypnosis give a person effective tools to have a more consistent experience and
to drop into deeper and deeper levels. Tasks, such as Remote Viewing, can come much more easily to subjects who can master
this state. Hypnosis can also be combined with Reiki for an energy healing session.
