top 11 truths about hypnosis!
#11 Everyone Can Be Hypnotized
Everyone can be hypnotized! Anyone who is able and willing to follow instructions can be hypnotized. You cannot be hypnotized against your will because hypnosis is a consensual state. It works best when you really want to make changes in your life but are having a hard time doing so or a hard time following through.
#10 Hypnosis Is Very Powerful and Helps You Be Your Best Self
Hypnosis helps you tap into your inherent power. Practice self-hypnosis daily to increase focus, concentration, and the ability to relax and recharge quickly. Hypnosis can be a powerful tool to help you reach your full potential.
#9 Hypnosis Is Not Sleep, Nor Is It Relaxation
Hypnosis is focused awareness, where you are highly receptive to positive suggestions. It is not sleep, nor relaxation. We often have you focus on relaxation in the hypnosis office to help you concentrate, yet there will be many times where you feel excited or filled with energy.
#8 Hypnosis Is a State of Mind, Not a Feeling
Hypnosis is not a feeling; it’s a state of mind. Some people feel light, like they’re floating; some feel grounded and safe like a tree. Others feel nothing at all or a light buzzing feeling. They’re all correct, and it’s different for every person.
#7 Hypnosis Works Really Fast
Just as our brains can quickly learn a phobia (which is a learned fear), our brain can also learn a new response to an old situation very quickly. The brain is lightning-fast and can change using neuroplasticity.
#6 Hypnosis Works for Nearly Every Issue
Hypnosis can help you change habits, reduce the sensation of pain, increase motivation, help you heal from past experiences, help you find lost items, eliminate fear, and help with spiritual growth, plus many other common everyday issues.
#5 Hypnosis Works Below the Level of Conscious Thinking
This means you become aware of things that you have not been aware of before, leading to powerful insight!
#4 You’ll Be Conscious and Alert the Whole Time in Hypnosis
We want you to remember all the insights you gain from the hypnosis session, so unless you’re using hypnosis for medical purposes, including surgery, you’ll be conscious and alert the whole time.
#3 You Are Always in Control During Hypnosis
Your hypnotist has no control over you. Hypnosis stage shows, where people do crazy things, are for entertainment! That’s not what happens in a hypnosis office. Your hypnotist serves as a guide or coach. Your hypnotist will work with you to understand your needs and goals. That will be an important part of the hypnosis process and the suggestions that he or she will give you while in hypnosis.
#2 Hypnosis Is a Normal and Natural State of Mind
You’ve likely been in a state of hypnosis hundreds of times in your life. Everyday states of hypnosis include listening to great music, reading a good book, and watching a good movie. A light state of hypnosis is achieved anytime you lose track of time.
#1 Hypnosis Works—Even When Everything Else Has Failed!
Even if you’ve tried other things to resolve your issue, hypnosis can still work because it works differently. It taps into the power of the subconscious mind where our memories and emotions are stored.
