Hypnosis

What Is Hypnosis?
- Hypnosis is a scientifically verified and effective technique that can promote accelerated human change. With Hypnosis, we can create desired changes in behavior and encourage mental and physical well-being.
- close question
What's Hypnosis versus hypnotherapy?
- Hypnotherapy is the use of Hypnosis for self-improvement and/or the release of problems. All Hypnotherapy employs Hypnosis; but not all Hypnosis is Hypnotherapy. Additionally, mastering the art of Hypnosis does not necessarily mean one is qualified as a Hypnotherapist. Contrary to what many might believe, there is more to helping someone overcome an unwanted habit than simply giving Hypnotic suggestions.
- close question
How does Hypnosis feel?
- Since Hypnosis is a natural state of mind, clients are often surprised that they hear every word. Unless one enters a deeper state, he or she may not "feel" any different than when relaxing in a favourite chair reading a good book or engrossed in a good film.
- close question
Does a Hypnotised person give up control?
- Absolutely not. When you are in a Hypnotic state you are in complete control of all your normal faculties and would never do anything that you wouldn't ordinarily be prepare to do.
- close question
How will I feel directly after Hypnosis?
- Great! Relaxed, rejuvenated, cool and calm, reenergised and ready to meet the demands of the day.
- close question
Can anyone be Hypnotised?
- The short answer is yes, however some people find it easier than others to achieve a deep level of Hypnosis.
- close question
How would I know if I've been Hypnotised?
- If you have felt relaxed and have listened to the Hypnotherapist's suggestions, you have been Hypnotised. Some people who reach a deeper level of Hypnosis describe other feelings or sensations including: not hearing the Hypnotherapist's voice; a heaviness in their body; time distortion whereby they feel the session only lasted a few minutes; and muscle catalepsy, where muscles become rigid. All these feelings or sensations cease once the Hypnosis is ended.
