WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?

"Hypnosis is an education-communication process to a person's mind that allows his/her conscious and subconscious minds to believe the same message. During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed neutral state while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion." IMDHA

Hypnosis is possibly as old as mankind. The old myths and misconceptions about hypnosis have given way to proven, scientifically sound applications. Today the use of hypnosis is seen in a variety of fields including: medicine, dentistry, law enforcement, professional sports and education.

Most people have a limited understanding of the positive results that can be achieved in a professionally controlled hypnosis session. We would like to dispel some of the myths and answer the most frequently asked questions about hypnosis.

Frequently Asked Questions About Hypnosis

Q. How does Hypnosis Work?
A. Our minds work on two levels--the conscious and the unconscious. We make decisions, think, and act with our conscious mind. The unconscious mind controls our habits. In the relaxed state known as hypnosis, we can communicate directly with the unconscious mind. This is why it is so quick and easy to change habits of a lifetime with hypnosis.

Q. Will hypnosis work for me?
A. Generally speaking, every normal person is "hypnotizable." That is, people with an IQ of at least 70, and no severe mental disorders. Therefore, virtually anyone can achieve successful results using hypnosis.

Q. How will I know if I am hypnotized?
A. Most people can't tell the difference between the hypnotized and The waking states. Some people feel relaxed and lethargic, others feel a lightness. One thing that people do notice is an inexplicable change in their daily behaviors.

Q. Is Hypnosis Safe?
A. Hypnosis is completely safe. You are aware and in control at every moment and can terminate the session at any time. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor can you get "stuck" in a state of hypnosis. You cannot be made to do something against your will. Hypnosis is a safe, relaxing and enjoyable experience.
