HYPNOTHERAPY
Hypnosis can
be described as 'being in a state of awareness dominated by the
subconscious mind'. This is not as strange as it might sound; everybody
enters a trance state several times a day, quite easily and naturally.
Think about that lovely fuzzy feeling you have just before you fall
asleep at night and when you wake up in the morning. That's a form
of trance. Do you daydream or lose track of time when you are carrying
out some task or other? If so, you are in a form of trance. And
how often have you driven somewhere without noticing how you got
there? That, too, is a form of trance. When you are in a hypnotic
trance the conscious mind, which is the logical, critical part of
the mind, is 'switched off', allowing the subconscious to take over.
In this subconscious state of awareness, there is increased concentration
of the mind and increased relaxation of the entire body. There is
also an increased susceptibility to positive suggestions, and during
a hypnotherapy session this is used therapeutically to help you
achieve your goals.
