Previously we dispelled some of the common myths and misconceptions about hypnosis… see here for details.

… WHAT THEN *IS* HYPNOSIS?

Hypnosis is a natural, altered state of consciousness, in which the conscious mind is bypassed and the deeper, subconscious mind is accessed. In this state the amazing power of visualization and suggestion, given by yourself or another, can be harnessed to produce real, deep-seated change.

Hypnosis is a state of mental and physical relaxation, along with a more focused sense of concentration. Hypnosis is not sleep… in fact, most people find they are more aware of smells, sounds and feelings than usual. They are also more open to suggestion.

This is what allows a hypnotist to offer certain suggestions, with the aim of bringing about positive change.

Hypnosis as a mental state is similar to other states of engrossed concentration, where a person becomes oblivious to his or her surroundings while lost in thought.

For example - Have you ever been driving and suddenly found yourself much further down the road, without any memory of driving the intervening distance? You were clearly not asleep during this time, and your body was functioning normally, but your mind was elsewhere. It’s a common experience. This detached yet still aware state is very similar to the state of a person under hypnosis.

Ultimately, though, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

YOU are the one who allows your mind to be placed into a hypnotic state, and YOU are the one who has the power to resist any unwanted suggestions.

That’s why, strictly speaking, it is inaccurate when people say they were hypnotized. What they really mean is that they allowed their mind to be hypnotized, or they allowed a hypnotist to give suggestions they chose to follow.

But no-one else can control your mind, unless you first grant them permission to do so.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool which can be used to generate deep-seated, long-lasting change in many aspects of our lives. Here are just a few of the positive outcomes that can be achieved through hypnosis, whether administered by yourself or a hypnotist…
