Hypnosis is the process of relaxing the body and the mind until the brain waves slow down enough to gain access to a person’s subconscious mind. Once inside the subconscious mind, traumas can be processed and released, and new beliefs and perceptions can be created. Hypnosis is the way to access your subconscious mind. To use a computer as a metaphor, the mind can be thought of as the supercomputer that controls all your unconscious bodily processes and processes of the mind including your beliefs and perceptions. The subconscious mind is where all the important operating system controls are located that allow you to make changes to the mind and body. The conscious mind alone cannot change the controls or settings in the subconscious mind.

To enter the subconscious mind a person’s brain waves, need to be slowed down. When this happens, the subconscious mind opens but the analytical mind diminishes. This is normal and necessary. The irony is when you are present in your subconscious you don’t have access to your full conscious awareness. The truth about hypnosis is that a person must be willing to relax in the body and the mind and allow themselves to be guided into their own subconscious mind and be willing to surrender to the guidance.

The inside of each subconscious mind is unique but has much in common with most others. We have many different parts of our psyche that are not always on the same page. For example, some of the main parts we have are adult ego, inner child, inner critic, will, and emotions. In many minds we find, some parts are stuck in the past due to some perceived trauma that they have not processed and let go of yet. When parts are conflicted it creates inner conflict, when parts are working together it creates a sense of harmony and inner peace.

Hypnosis is the way to access these parts in the subconscious mind to help the parts that are stuck to move forward and support the client in the present to accomplish the clients’ goals. Hypnosis offers a way to clear inner conflict, fears, and judgements, so a person can perceive differently and make different choices that lead to better outcomes in their life. Hypnosis is a tool that allows changes to be made to a person’s beliefs and perceptions so a person can choose for themselves how they want to think and feel about themselves and the world. Hypnosis allows a person to choose for themselves who and how they want to be in the world, to change their personality.

A personality is the result of the programing, conditioning and learned behaviors received from the people in a person's environment when they grow up. It is this programing or conditioning that creates the personality. This is good news If you’re like me and received negative programming and conditioning from the people around you and your environment growing up. Hypnosis gives you a tool to take control and recreate your personality in the image you choose. You want to be more disciplined; hypnosis can help you with that.

Do you want to grow and evolve into a more unlimited version of you or stay limited as you were programmed to be? Hypnosis offers you a real choice. What are you choosing?
