What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a natural yet altered state characterized by extreme suggestibility, relaxation and heightened imagination. It's not really like sleep, because you are alert the whole time. It is most often compared to daydreaming, or the feeling of "losing yourself" in a book or movie. You are fully conscious, but you tune out most of the stimuli around you. You can focus intently on the subject at hand, to the near exclusion of any other thought.

How does hypnosis work?


It is commonly believed that in the deep state of focus and relaxation that’s achieved with hypnosis:

  • Your conscious mind is quieted.
  • You’re able to tap into the part of your brain where your thoughts, beliefs, perceptions, sensations, emotions, memory and behaviors originate.

In this state, you’re more open to gentle guidance about modifying or replace the unconscious thoughts that are driving your current behavior.

Why does hypnosis work so well with phobias?

In hypnosis, you can shape your reality in positive and exciting ways, and you can actively make the changes necessary to bring about the change you would like to make.  Vivid visualization of your goals and reinforcement of how that looks and feels will create new ways of thinking, feeling and being.   


Interestingly, the subconscious mind does not distinguish between a genuine experience and a suggested one. Your mind responds to two things – words and pictures. So, when you are guided to visualize a positive experience in hypnosis, your body reacts as if it is real. Hypnosis allows you to change the stories you that have been created around events that happened in your past.  In doing so you can install more empowering beliefs and create a new reality.

  • What happens in hypnosis?

    During hypnosis, there are chemical changes in the brain which help to create new neurological networks.  Additionally the brain waves frequencies change which open up your subconscious mind to hypnotic suggestion. 


    These mechanisms work together to free you of old habits and thought patterns while literally creating new channels — “rewiring” your brain — to address and overcome the thoughts, memories, and behaviors that have been holding you back.

    ‍

    These brain changes are entirely natural, as a state of hypnosis can be achieved without drugs or intrusive technology. Our brains have built-in systems to allow for resilience, healing, and growth, and this is supported by brain imaging studies and research into brain waves, neurotransmitters, and neuropeptides.

    ‍

    Hypnosis allows us to rewire the brain to let go of bad habits, to process trauma and grief, to build confidence and self-worth, and to shift our perspectives on a host of impending problems and issues. Hypnosis offers a means of changing old programming, by empowering you to create the life you want to live instead.

  • How do hypnosis and EFT tapping work together?

    Hypnosis works beautifully with EFT.  

    Hypnosis induces a deeply relaxed state, where the mind becomes highly receptive to positive suggestions. In this place you can start visualizing your new reality - your new way of being.  When EFT tapping is incorporated into a session the relaxation response can be further enhanced, making it easier to connect to this state.  The combination of the techniques combines and harnesses the power of each to powerfully create your new reality. 

  • Do you use more hypnosis or EFT in a session?

    It depends.  The process is co-created with each client.  Some clients find that certain techniques resonate with them over others.  We work together to ensure that we meet your goals in a way that aligns with you.  It is a natural and organic process which connects back to the most important thing - the goals you have.

  • What does hypnosis feel like?

    It depends.  It may feel like you are listening with your eyes closed and relaxed. You may feel sensations, like heaviness in your eyelids or your limbs. You might, at some point, think that you fell asleep or that you are on the verge of sleep.  Most people are able to experience hypnosis during our sessions.
