What is Hypnosis?  

Firstly, lets correct a few myths and misconceptions! Most people will be aware of stage hypnosis, whereby seemingly innocent members of the public are drawn up to a stage and perform very silly acts whilst appearing under the control of the hypnotist. NOT SO! Hypnosis is not mind control! The people who do go on stage do so voluntarily, are open to suggestions to entertain and are the same people who would be willing to entertain you at a party.   

Hypnosis is actually a very natural state of the mind. We each go into altered states of consciousness every day. Have you ever driven to work, arrived at your destination and not remembered how you got there? Or been so engrossed in a film or book that you lost track of time or not realised someone was talking to you. These are just every day examples of an altered state of awareness and consciousness.   

Hypnosis is just another example of an altered state of consciousness and an altered state of awareness. The unique difference is that hypnosis can be used for self-change to improve and gain more control in your life by releasing negative, unrealistic or self-limiting thoughts and beliefs. It is about accessing the power in you.

Being in hypnosis is extremely comfortable and wonderfully relaxing. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, there is nothing supernatural or unnatural about it. Hypnosis is simply a natural state of mental, physical and emotional relaxation along with a heightened state of awareness.
