Why Hypnosis?

Have you ever wanted to achieve a goal, but felt there was a little part of you holding you back? Have you wished for more self-confidence, yet deep down inside you believe you are unworthy? Do you want to eat healthier and have a more active lifestyle, but find it difficult to stay motivated? Have you attempted to quit smoking but find yourself with a lit cigarette in hand without knowing how it got there? Do you find yourself unable or afraid to embrace the small joys of life because you are constantly hearing about the negative things happening in the world around us? We have all had these experiences at some time or another.

These are examples of a conflict between our conscious and subconscious minds, and the subconscious always wins. Our conscious mind is busy handling thousands of thoughts a day, and constant vigilance or “will power” is often undermined by distractions. Our conscious mind can also create barriers of its own based on personal experiences and beliefs.

Hypnosis is a technique that bypasses the conscious mind and speaks directly to the subconscious mind. Through hypnosis we can reprogram our subconscious mind to remove the negative, unhealthy, or irrelevant messages that stand in the way of our best health. We can also create new, positive, and helpful messages that will work with our conscious mind toward achieving those good goals.

It is important to know that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Whether you are listening to a self-hypnosis CD or working with a hypnotist, you are always in control. You have the power to accept or reject any and all suggestions you receive. Even in a deep trance, you are still in control. For example, if a fire alarm sounded during your session your conscious mind would recognize the emergency and you would immediately emerge from the trance and react accordingly.

Hypnosis is a safe and quick method of bringing about positive life changes.
