The Magic of Hypnosis

Much has been written about the power of the mind and how we all have the power to heal ourselves. I get many clients coming to me who may feel lost, stuck or unable find a solution to a problem they may have carried around for many years. Fortunately, I have yet to be asked 'will you make me cluck like a chicken or eat a raw onion?' Due to the positive media attention hypnotherapy has received in recent years people are beginning to understand how effective hypnosis can be for a wide variety of issues. However, the one question I do get asked is 'how will I know when I am in trance or I am not sure I can go into trance? We all enter a state of light to medium trance state everyday, without realising it, whether its reading a book, driving our usual route to work, watching television,shopping, working, listening to music, cleaning, cooking even making love. We have a particular style of trance for each one (ie a shopping trance, driving trance, etc). We also experience time distortion, how many times have you driven a familiar route but cant explain how you got from A to B in such a short space of time. The unconscious part of your mind is taking care of all of your automatic responses to driving so your conscious mind can concentrate on all the other stuff like watching out for the kid on the bike who steps into the road or unexpected roadworks! The mind works like a sophisticated computer. Your unconscious works like a hard drive storing all of your memories, experiences, emotions and thoughts that you ever had, whilst the conscious deals with all of the rational logical thoughts that you need to think about to get through your day, the two parts of the work together and overlap in many ways. The unconscious part of the mind is also where we store all our bad habits, negative thinking, phobias and fears. The magic of hypnosis is that it allow us to tap into the unconscious and effectively reprogramme ways of thinking and feeling about certain issues in our lives that are causing distress or no longer useful to us. The old saying 'we are more than our minds' is very true and once we realise this fact we can take control of thoughts and how we really want to feel. We all have the resources we need within ourselves to live our lives with true purpose and happiness.
