Hypnosis
is a relaxing, naturally occurring state of mind which happens to us
every day. Each time we read a captivating novel, float
off in a daydream or see an engrossing movie we are
in a natural state of
hypnosis.
For thousands of
years people have recognized the power of hypnosis
to enhance learning, heal emotional scars, improve performance, change
habits and speed the healing process.
Science is only now beginning to understand
the awesome power the unconscious
mind wields. It wasn't until 1958 that the American Medical Association
recognized hypnosis as a valid
therapeutic tool. The medical field is also beginning to recognize the major
role "psychological" factors play in illness and healing.
WHY IS
CHANGE SOMETIMES DIFFICULT?
Why is change
sometimes difficult? Because most habits, beliefs and attitudes are
maintained and stored in the unconscious
mind - and most people are trying to change consciously!
Hypnosis is direct unconscious communication.
Think of it this
way. Your conscious mind is like the desk clerk at a hotel and your
unconscious is like the manager in the back office. The clerk and the
manager may or may not have the same goals or ideas about what to do,
how to act or even what is important
about running the hotel. They may not even communicate
very often. When you attempt to change with your conscious resources
you are trying to change without the manager's approval! That's why
often, after a time, you'll notice yourself back in your old behavior.
Have you ever had the experience of making up your mind to do something
and then later found yourself in your old patterns.....? Well, you
didn't get the manager on your side did you?
On top of it
all, the manager is an incredible creative genius but has a mind like a
three-year-old in some ways. Logic is not fully developed (that is why
you sometimes do things that you know don't make sense) and emotion has
a lot of impact. The
unconscious
communicates differently than the conscious mind - so you just can't
tell it what to do in the regular way and expect to get the results you
want. The unconscious doesn't update it's ideas and concepts as readily
as we'd like and sometimes the conclusions it reaches are not healthy
(i.e. eating = safety).
Your unconscious is the best learning
machine that has ever existed. If instructed properly healthier, more
productive patterns, ideas, beliefs, attitudes and actions
result.
THE
POWER OF HYPNOSIS
During
hypnotism, direct communication with your
unconscious mind can be established. In
a hypnotic trance, if we are guided properly, our
minds and bodies are able to accept change
much more readily.
In
hypnosis you are in control. The hypnotist is merely the guide who
leads you through this comfortable, inspiring
experience. The door is open to the abilities and resources of the ultra-powerful
unconscious mind. Your conscious mind is just the surface ...
I
