Common Questions about Hypnosis

What is hypnosis?
It is an altered state of consciousness. It is when your conscious attention is focused within your mind. It is also a state where your inner mind is more open to suggestion.

Can anyone be hypnotized?
Yes… if you trust the process, trust the hypnotist, trust the situation and trust yourself. And you must want to be hypnotized.

What if I can’t be hypnotized?
Everyone can be hypnotized but you won’t be if:
1. You fear hypnosis or distrust the hypnotist.
2. You don’t want to be.
3. You try to be hypnotized.

What if I can’t come out of hypnosis?
You are the one in control over the hypnosis. All hypnosis is self hypnosis. The hypnotist guides you. There is a very thin line between hypnosis and the normal state of consciousness.

What if I’ve never been in hypnosis?
Most people don’t recognize their experience as “under hypnosis” … they may feel relaxed, in a dream-like state, or feel like they are vaguely listening or paying attention to their surroundings… sometimes you may feel like you are making things up. Everyone experiences an altered state of consciousness differently. If you want to know what it feels like…trust the process and trust yourself.

What can I do to help myself to be hypnotized?
Close your eyes. Quiet your body. Settle the mind by focusing on either the hypnotist’s voice, a pleasant background sound, or both. Move deep into the sense something real and extraordinary is happening. (It’s really that simple)

How does it work?
Hypnotherapy uses various techniques of by passing the conscious mind to heal and/or change the previous programming and experiences that are buried in the subconscious mind.

What is a program?
A program is an idea or belief that has been accepted by the subconscious mind.

Why do I feel like I am being “blocked”?
A block can be an old program or belief (in your subconscious) that doesn’t fit you, your lifestyle, or your thinking anymore.

Read about Blocks here.

Why do I have to change my old programs?
In order to achieve a goal your conscious and subconscious must work together so you can “keep” the results. (i.e. old patterns or cycles that you have been unable to break or that keep creeping back up: self sabotage may fall into this category.)

What if I don’t know where it comes from?
Consciously, you might not but subconsciously you do. And once you’re in the subconscious mind, you are healing and releasing the origin of the problem or issue.

What if I want to be a better at something or change my body?
We would check for blocks first then use hypnosis to program what you want. You can do anything you believe you can.

How do I get rid of the programs I don’t want?
There are techniques designed specifically to erase and replace your existing blocks and programs. You can choose what you want to believe.

What is Regression Therapy?
Hypnotherapists use regression therapy to go back to an experience in this life time that you want to change/fix/heal. This may be the first step in changing old blocks or programs.

What is Past Life Therapy?
Past Life Therapist use past life regression therapy to “go back” to a previous life to fix/change/heal an experience that you have carried with you into this incarnation.

Why use these types of therapies?
If you have an emotional issue or tie to the past whether in this life or the last, it can cause stress and problems in your life now. By utilizing these powerful tools we can bring the healing forward to you today.

How long does it take?
Each session is an hour.

How many sessions does it take?
That completely depends on you.

Your living is determined
not so much by what life brings to you
as by the attitude you bring to life;
not so much by what happens to you
as by the way your mind looks at what happens.

Hypnosis & Mind Control

The easiest way to chat about mind control and hypnosis is with questions and answers. I hope this helps dispel some of those misconstrued notions. Enjoy!

Is Hypnosis Mind Control? Yes. Absolutely. It's probably not the way that you'd think, though. Hypnosis [its self] is an altered state of consciousness, where your attention is focused inward. So, when asking about hypnosis or a hypnotist controlling your mind, you'd be referring to the suggestions that you are receiving (what the person or download is saying to you). This will help: Common Questions about Hypnosis

As a hypnotist, I have no power over you. 

I do, however, have the tools that you need to have power over yourself and your life. 

Can a Hypnotist Control your Mind? They can give you suggestions that your subconscious mind can follow, or do. 

It's your subconscious mind that predicts your future and creates your life. It's the part of mind that does everything automatically. So, it can seem like the hypnotist made you do something but, the truth is, your mind followed the suggestions that it was given. 

But, can't a hypnotist make me loose weight or quit smoking? Actually, it's not my job to make you do something. (Other hypnotists may give you a different answer to this.) It's my job to teach and give you the tools that you need to be able to make the changes that you want. Learning how to work with your mind, listening to the downloads, gives you the choices you didn't realize that you have had before and/or makes it possible for you to carry our the t decisions that you have made to create what you want. 

Can a Hypnotist Control People or Make them Do Things? Not against their will. Here's the catch: Your subconscious mind follows different rules than your conscious mind (the awake 'in control' you, so to speak) ~ A good hypnotist can by pass your conscious mind in many ways, that again, would make it look like someone is under their spell or being controlled. If (whatever it is) goes against your subconscious programming, you won't do it. Period. 

So, which suggestion does your subconscious mind act on? Well, you have layers, levels, a variety of programs in your mind. Your subconscious mind will sift through all of them and choose the one that has the most (for lack of a better word) 'energy' around it and use that. It will also 'decide' what's the safest thing for you to do. Anyone that tells you the subconscious mind doesn't reason or make decisions, doesn't know the mind. Or, probably, more truthfully, hasn't worked [dialogued] with  the subconscious mind or the inner levels. Click here to Read about The Mind and How Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy Work

So, Why Use Hypnosis? Because your subconscious mind creates your life. And, there's probably a bunch of stuff in there that you don't want or don't like. Changing your subconscious programming is the quickest (and easiest) way to change your life. And, all that means is taking out everything that's in your mind that does not align with your truth. Remember, your mind records and keeps everything. I mean everything~ everything you've heard, learned, watched, read. If there are any thoughts that you have that you're not fond of or don't like, change your programming. It will change your life. This is also what people refer to as blocks: Click here to Read about Blocks

Note about This Meme: It's not intended to scare you, on the contrary, it's for you to think about it. What have you learned~ from society, your parents, your friends? What have you heard over and over? Those things (good, bad, positive, negative, true, or untrue) are all in your mind. And, all of those things are running like tapes in the background, creating your life, keeping habits and patterns in place and shaping you into who you are. If they are correct or if you like them, keep them. If they are not, change them. What good can come of an old record playing I'm clumsy, I'm dumb, I can't do anything right, no one listens to me, no one cares how I feel, You're _____, ... you get the idea. Those, by the way, were just a few negative programs so that you have an idea of what I'm talking about. Everyone's programming is going to be different. What suggestions we accept and what we reject are completely individual. This article about The Mind breaks it down and makes it simple and easy to understand.

Here's the truth... I love downloads. No, seriously. I love them. I love listening to them, I love making them and I love hearing the fabulous stories of how they change people's lives.

If I like it, it's going up at that super  sale price. Okay, about those hundreds of downloads: Make a list of some of the things in yourself or in your life that you'd like to change, fix or enhance and do a key word search [in the shop] and you may be pleasantly surprised with the results!
