What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a natural state of mind where you feel totally relaxed. It is something we experience everyday, an example would be when you are driving on a motorway and the miles pass by and you are not aware of the time, this is an experience of waking hypnosis. This may also happen when you’re reading a pleasant book or watching an interesting TV programme.

Hypnotherapy works at a deeper level, allowing access to the sub-conscious to facilitate change which allows new behaviour to replace old, leading to beneficial effects.

Simple hypnotic relaxation techniques help attain a calm relaxed state and with the help of a trained hypnotherapist it becomes easy to visualize yourself becoming healthier, happier, more confident, a non smoker or whatever other goal you wish to attain.

It must be emphasised here that what hypnotherapists do is by definition therapeutic. Stage hypnosis is very different. It is a form of entertainment
