What is Hypnosis?
Understanding Hypnosis
An Effective Path to Positive Change
Hypnosis is a natural and effective technique that harnesses the power of the mind to promote positive change, relaxation, and personal growth. If you’re curious about hypnosis and how it can benefit you, this guide will provide a clear and comprehensive overview.
What Hypnosis Is
A State of Focused Relaxation
Hypnosis involves entering a state of deep relaxation and focused concentration. During this state, your mind becomes more open to positive suggestions and constructive guidance. This heightened state of awareness is often referred to as a trance. But it’s nothing like you see in movies. I’m sure you have been totally absorbed while reading a book, while on the computer or watching a movie? Did you zone out to the point you didn’t notice what else was going on around you? Maybe realize you have gotten much further down the road than you realized. Or look at your clock and time has flown by. If so, you’ve experienced a trance-like state that’s similar to what happens to you during hypnosis.
Hypnosis is a collaborative process between you and a trained hypnosis professional. The hypnotist guides you into a relaxed state and provides positive suggestions to help you achieve your goals, whether it’s reducing stress/anxiety, overcoming a fear, or breaking a habit or whatever change you are seeking.
