What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state of focused relaxation that allows us to communicate positive suggestions to our subconscious mind. Hypnosis is an accepted and approved way to empower yourself to achieve the goals you desire. Among many things, self-hypnosis has been used to help people stop smoking, lose weight, overcome fears, and successfully manage pain.
Hypnosis is a gentle experience. Your body goes into a state of deep relaxation while your mind remains attentive and focused on the desired goal. During hypnosis the body remains in a deep state of relaxation while your intense mental focus helps you re-program any old attitudes or beliefs about your current behaviors.
Hypnosis is not a magic bullet. In fact science has not yet determined just exactly how hypnosis works. It appears to affect how your brain communicates with your body through nerve impulses, hormones, and body chemicals, such as neuropeptides.
Hypnosis is considered to be a safe and effective complementary and alternative treatment by the National Institute of Health. Hypnosis was first recognized by the American Medical Association in the 1950s. One of the best things about hypnosis is that unlike many of the drugs people take today, hypnosis has absolutely NO negative side affects!
