Why use Hypnosis

Think of your subconscious as your personal robot following your commands

Hypnosis is actually a technique that gives you more control over your mind, allowing you to quickly manifest your goals. It is safe, natural, and effective. It has been given many definitions. According to the American Council of Hypnotic Examiners, hypnosis is "a natural yet altered state of consciousness that allows us to bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and speak directly to the subconscious." Simply put, this means we ask the conscious mind to step aside while we speak to the subconscious, and work with it to make the positive changes you want.

That’s the technical explanation for hypnosis. I would like to explain a much simpler way at looking at it if you have the time to read on.

 

If you can dream you can make hypnosis a powerful tool for personal change and development. Think of your subconscious as a robot waiting to follow commands. What you think and dream are the ways you program your robot.

However over many years your robot may have been programmed to take you in a direction of what you don’t want. Some of this is down to ourselves, were only human so mistakes happen. Some of the programming is the results of the influence of other’s, often with good intensions

Hypnosis provides you with the tools to creating the personal changes you always wanted to make by allowing greater power to change internal program’s

Hypnosis is simply the way we create more powerful commands than the old ones or simply remove the ones which no longer support our needs. The more you repeat them the stronger they become, until you find changes happening all by themselves

Hypnosis is a tool for learning  

Most clients that come to me have some small doubts about this thing called hypnosis, the power of their subconscious and also about this sleep state called trance and who could blame them, Most people have only seen hypnosis in action as a stage show or in a movie. This is a far cry from using hypnosis as a tool for change

Hypnosis is simple about using your minds natural ability to learn and change with the power of imagination.

All learning, emotion and behavoiur is unconscious. Science has proven that in many cases the conscious simply acts like PC monitor. The main computer processor and memory banks are doing all the work and the monitor only displays the results and information it thinks you need. This often gives the illusion that we are consciously in charge of our actions, emotions and behaviors, yet much of the time we are not.

Here are a couple of examples

 

  • How many beliefs do you have? During your life time you have collected literally thousands of belief’s (learning’s) about how things work, how to react in set situations. If I asked you to start listing them all you would soon realize it is then it an impossible task. Yet theses beliefs are always there when you need them or when your subconscious tells you, you need them

  • Can you verbally explain a skill? Try this yourself, or with someone you know who drives a car or even a motorbike, and has done for some years. Verbally talk through the process of driving a car from a standing start, turning a corner and then parking. Step by step. It’s not very easy at all, in fact it’s quite hard to explain the process, even though we may do it every day. Most people can actually do the task far quicker than they can explain it. 

This is a perfect example of unconscious competence. Unconscious competence is something has simple become habit. Unsconscious because we are unaware of the thought process behind these actions, even when we known there has to be some thinking or process controlling it. We find it hard to explain them but we know they exist. Competence because we have the ability to repeatedly achieve the same results, “to always product the internal feeling of fear If we see a spider”. Their simply habits, habits of thought as which leads to the habit of action.

You are who you are because of what you have learnt

What’s useful to remember is that the mind doesn't always know whether this new skill your learning is really the right one or not, it just learns it. Any fear or phobia has to be leant. The Anxiety response to threat has to be leant. They behave just the same way as the process of learning to drive a car. They become automatic, you could even call them skills because that what they are. You may not like them but here is no difference between a learnt skill like driving and a leant response like anger or anxiety.

The ability to make good change come when you can tap into these inner thoughts

Although we can not always verablise our unconscious thoughts and beliefs we learn how to be come more aware of them. They may come to the surface of our consciousness and take the form of internal self talk, pictures or sounds. They can happen so fast they don’t even notice the thought as first, but when you relax and focus you can become much more aware of them. They are part of the internal recipe required to create an emotion response and direct towards action

A deeply relaxed focused state gives you access to your inner thoughts

When you work with a hypnotherapist they will guild you into a very relaxed yet focused state rather like a very strong day dream. You are always in control and come out of this state at any time you wish, just like a day dream.

Your ability to learn new ways of think is always present

In this relaxed state you will learn how to change and control these inner thoughts and build for yourself new beliefs and values that will help you support your process of change.

This can help you make powerful changes quickly

Your nervous system doesn't know the difference between what real and what’s imagined. You conscious mind knows what real and what’s not, but you unconscious doesn't. It you imagine a wining the euro lottery next week and think of the things you will enjoy with the money you may start to feel a very pleasant warm feeling inside feel more happy or secure. Imagine being able to trigger positive thoughts like these when you need them most. This is just one of the ways hypnosis is used to help you learn new to make positive change. Nearly all world class athletes these days use some form of self hypnosis as part of the training program because of its positive effects.

Mental practice is as important of physical practice.

I have many people tell that they don't belief mental rehearsal really works, they have never tried it simple because didn't think it would work and many years ago I was one of those people once. The thing that really brought this point home to me was when I release that my mental pictures and internal self talk are forms of mental rehearsal, they were forms of mentally planning for negative things to happen. It proved to me that mental rehearsal does have an effect.

I would think about doing a business presentation and I would feel anxious. The thing about this was that I realised that I would go through this negative mental rehearsal hundreds of times before the actual event. The truth was I wasn't bad at public speaking I was just brilliantly skilled at creating anxiety. Just like actor learns to turn on an emotion in front of the camera in spilt second because of his years of practice. In simple terms Emotional problems are usually the result of negative beliefs about ourselves or the world around us that we have leant directly or indirectly That we find hard to challenge because we may be unaware what they are or how to challenge them. They grow strong over time if left unchecked due to practice, mental or real

 

In a way hypnosis is nothing new, it's simple allows you to take what you’re already doing very well and point it in a new direction.
