How will I feel when I'm  hypnotized? 
Will I be sleeping or unconscious?

The word hypnosis is derived from the Greek word for sleep. While hypnosis is very relaxing, you never lose awareness during hypnosis.  You certainly will not be asleep or unconscious. If you were asleep, you would not be able to have a dialogue with your hypnotist. In. fact, during hypnosis you are even more aware of what is going on around you than you would ordinarily be but you can be selective about it (which you can't do in the waking state). While in hypnosis, you are in a very relaxed and pleasant state. normal awareness.  During hypnosis, you will be relaxed, but mentally alert; retaining at all times a level of awareness to the direct environment.  If you enter into a state of hypnosis when you are already very tired you may simply drift off into a natural sleep and reawaken.

What can hypnosis help with?

 

Hypnosis helps change attitudes, which is the key to changing behavior. With hypnosis, a person is empowered, and made independent enough to solve his/her own problems. With hypnosis a person can change behaviors that would otherwise seem difficult, if not impossible, to change.

 

Hypnosis can also improve your essential experience of life, in all its circumstances. Only within the past 40 years have scientists become equipped with instruments, techniques and methods for accurately separating the facts of hypnosis from exaggerated claims. The study of hypnotic phenomena is now properly held within the domain of normal cognitive science, with papers on hypnosis published in many major scientific and medical journals. Newest clinical research findings reveal, however, that hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion, when used properly, can powerfully alter cognitive processes as diverse as memory and pain perception.

 

Hypnosis is not talk therapy, and does not include advising, diagnosing or prescribing. That would be the domain of other professionals, usually licensed to counsel. The primary aim of hypnosis itself is self-healing, and self change. The hypnotist's job is to assist the subject to achieve those natural states of mind where healing and change best happen. Used correctly, hypnosis is especially useful for tapping into that awesome power of the human mind.

 

If you can think it, and believe it, hypnosis can help make it so.
