Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions
about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications.
Today, the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields, including: medicine,
dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports, and education.
Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be
achieves in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to
dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions
about hypnosis.
- How does hypnosis work? Our minds work on two levels -- the
conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with
our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the
relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the
unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits
of a lifetime with hypnosis.
- Will hypnosis work for me? Generally speaking, every normal person
is "hypnotizable." That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and with no
severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve
successful results using hypnosis.
- How will I know if I'm hypnotized? Most people cannot tell the
difference between the hypnotized and the waking states. Some people
feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people
do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.
- Is hypnosis safe? Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in
control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time.
Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis.
You cannot be made to do something against your will! Hypnosis is a
safe, relaxing, and enjoyable experience.
- How does hypnosis help me to kick the smoking habit? Because
smoking is a habit, it is controlled by the unconscious mind. Since
hypnosis and NLP work directly with the unconscious, this is the only
method that makes sense! We can help you effortlessly transition into
the healthy lifestyle of a happy non-smoker -- it only takes one hour to
quit.
