What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is just a way to relax your body and your conscious mind, so that you can gain access to your subconscious. You go into a nice, relaxed state known as a trance state.
A trance is actually a very natural state of mind, that we go in and out of everyday, and every night as we fall asleep. Examples include any kind of relaxation, meditation, or even daydreaming. So you don't lose awareness totally of your surroundings, like you do when you're sleeping.
You're just more quieted down and focused. And when you're in that relaxed, trance state, the subconscious is more open and accessible. So it will very readily accept post-hypnotic suggestions, which are just positive suggestions in the areas we're working on together. And those suggestions are like little seeds planted in the subconscious.
So they help you make changes more from that automatic, subconscious level. So you're not having to use your conscious mind's will power. Instead, it's a lot easier than that, because you are harnessing the power of your subconscious to help you achieve your goals.
