Deepen your understanding of yourself and your situation and you will find yourself with new insights and understanding. The solution is within you, just waiting for you to bring into conscious awareness.

The word hypnosis brings up a mental picture of mind control, for many people. It is a great shame that this amazing healing tool has been the subject of misuse, misunderstanding and abused by the entertainment industry as far back as the sixteenth and seventeenth century.

Most people have little knowledge of hypnosis; the most popular belief is it is a state of deep sleep, when in fact hypnosis is far from being an unconscious state. It does involve the being in a trancelike condition, however this is an enhanced state of awareness, not sleep! Hypnosis is merely directing the conscious mind to relax, which allows the unconscious mind to access suggestions on a deeper level.

Hypnotherapy helps people to change unwanted behaviors. Positive ideas and lifestyle changes are suggested to the client, which become firmly planted in the unconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy helps people who have irrational fears, phobias, negative thoughts, behaviours they want to change and suppressed emotions that need to be revealed to consciousness on a physiological level as well as emotional.

Because you are relaxing during hypnosis your breathing and heart rate slows. Your pulse rate drops and your metabolic rate falls. Similar changes are made to your parasympathetic (nervous system).

How Hypnotherapy works

Hypnosis works by altering your state of consciousness. The left side of your brain, which is called the analytical side, or lobe, switches off and the creative right hand side of your brain becomes more alert. Since it is your subconscious mind that needs to hear and implement the changes and is the instinctive creative driving force behind all behaviour the relaxed state of hypnosis works well in instigating positive change through suggestion directly to your unconscious mind.

For example, a person who consciously wants to overcome a fear of heights may try everything they consciously can to do it, but will still fail as long as their subconscious mind is storing the memory of the initial casual factor which prevents the person from succeeding. Progress can only be made be reprogramming the unconscious mind so that deep-seated instincts and beliefs are abolished or altered and replaced with more life enhancing ways of thinking, feeling and behaving and my self hypnosis audios help to do just that!
