What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis, in its essence, is a beautifully natural state of mind, one that can gracefully emerge on its own or be gently induced. It’s a sanctuary of extraordinary mental, physical, and emotional relaxation, where your awareness sharpens selectively, honing in on the deeper currents of your thoughts and feelings. As your body sinks into this serene relaxation, your mind awakens, becoming more alert and open, ready to embrace transformative insights and healing.
Known as “sleep healing” in ancient Greece and “mind cure” in the fourteenth through mid-nineteenth centuries, what we now call hypnosis has a long history of therapeutic use.
Andrew Weil, MD
This state of hypnosis, almost like a meditative dance, is where the magic of transformation begins. As your body drifts into a peaceful ease, a space is created for your mind to delve into areas previously untapped or unexplored. In this state, your subconscious becomes more accessible, allowing for a profound level of communication and understanding. It’s here, in this harmonious balance of relaxation and awareness, that we can gently reframe and reshape your perceptions, beliefs, and emotions. The beauty of hypnosis lies in its ability to facilitate deep, lasting change in a state that feels as natural as it is powerful, opening doors to new possibilities of thought and feeling.
How Hypnosis Works
Building an Emotional Connection
In the mesmerizing dance of hypnosis, the journey begins as the subject and the hypnotherapist forge a deep, emotional bond within the hypnotic state. This sacred space, enveloped in trust and understanding, paves the way for a journey of profound discovery and healing, where emotions and thoughts intertwine in a harmonious symphony.
Releasing and Rebuilding
As we delve deeper, the process transforms into an act of releasing antiquated beliefs and habits that no longer serve your path to wellness. Guided gently, you begin to embrace new, positive beliefs and habits, akin to seeds of change planted in the fertile soil of your mind, ready to blossom into transformative habits and perceptions.
Cultivating Positive Expectancy
At the heart of this transformative journey is the power of positive expectancy. It’s a beacon of hope and belief, illuminating the path to change. This expectancy is not just a thought but a resonating energy that prepares your mind and soul for the profound changes ahead, fostering an environment ripe for growth and renewal.
The Subconscious Response
And then, in the most magical part of our journey, your subconscious begins to dance to this new rhythm of thoughts and beliefs. It’s where the mental suggestions transform into physical responses, a testament to the mind’s incredible power to influence the body. This is the moment where the true power of hypnosis reveals itself – not just as a tool for change but as a gateway to a new way of being, thinking, and feeling, bridging the gap between the conscious desires and subconscious realities.

What is a Hypnotherapist?
A hypnotherapist is a specialist recognized federally under the Health and Human Services department, possessing expertise in the art of hypnosis. This title is designated for those proficient in hypnosis, even though they may not hold a traditional medical license. Hypnotherapists skillfully utilize hypnosis as a therapeutic tool to facilitate healing across the emotional (heart), cognitive (mind), and physical (body) aspects of well-being. Additionally, this transformative practice of hypnosis is not confined to unlicensed specialists; it is also employed by licensed healthcare professionals, further validating its efficacy and significance in the broader spectrum of health and wellness.

The Hypnotic Perspective on How Your Mind Works
All of your life experiences are stored in your subconscious mind. Your subconscious mind makes decisions from an emotional state based on the past. Thus, your past is controlling your present and future results in life!
Neurons that fire together wire together! Life experiences create actions that become habits- they are hardwired in the neural cell structure of our brains!
