The word hypnosis is derived from the term ‘nervous sleep’, and although hypnosis is often thought of as a state of unconsciousness, in most cases the subject is in fact wide awake but gradually becomes less aware of their surroundings and achieves a state of complete physical relaxation.

Clinical Hypnosis

Clinical hypnosis is used to help subjects alter their perception, emotional state, or behavior in order to be able to cope more easily with situations within their daily lives.

Many techniques have evolved over the years, from focusing on a specific object while gradually being talked into a relaxed state, through to verbal suggestion. Whatever hypnotherapy technique is used, the purpose of hypnosis is to alter the state of consciousness and bring our subconscious mind to the forefront.

The subconscious mind affects the way we think and feel about certain aspects of our life. In order to change this process, relaxation and focusing will often bring about an alteration in a person’s behavior and physical state. In other words, by reprogramming the subconscious mind, we can change the way we perceive things and deal with them more easily. This is also positive form of mind control.

It has to be understood that hypnosis cannot make anyone do something they would not normally do. A person undergoing hypnosis has to want to change something in their life, and is happy to accept that a change in thought process, will help them to achieve this.

Phobias, eating disorders, smoking and alcohol problems, plus many physical illnesses, can in some cases be lessened and even cured by hypnosis.

The purpose of hypnosis is to help the patient relax and to narrow their focus down to such a degree that their mind becomes receptive to positive thoughts. In this way the subconscious mind absorbs these thoughts and can assist in changing a person’s perspective on aspects of their lives.
