What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a trance-like or dream-like mental state, that can often affect the whole-body experience, in which people experience increased attention, concentration and suggestibility.

While hypnosis is often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened suggestibility & vivid visualisations.

People in a hypnotic state often appear as though they are in a sleepy or zoned out state, but in actual fact, they are in a hyper-state of awareness.

While there are many myths & misconceptions, hypnosis is a very real process that can be used as a highly successful therapeutic tool.

It is important to know that although while in the hypnotic state you are more open to suggestions & creating awareness, you do NOT lose control of your behaviour or what suggestions you choose to accept or reject.

You are always in control & you cannot be hypnotised against your will. It is a voluntary accessing of your own consciousness & you are always in control.

What does hypnosis feel like?

Most people are often unaware that they are in a hypnotic trance state, because there is no one thing that occurs to say “You are now hypnotised!”.

However, there are common feelings and sensations that are commonly associated with a therapeutically induced state of hypnosis. For many people, hypnosis is a deeply relaxing experience and it invokes a whole-body relaxation.

The way people typically describe the feeling of being hypnotised during hypnotherapy is to be in a calm, physically, and mentally relaxed state. In this state, they are able to focus deeply on what they are consciously thinking about and discover what sub-conscious and un-conscious patterns have been the force behind their life experiences.

It is often referred to meditation with a goal.

t is a state of focused attention to specifically create awareness with the aim of integrating & realigning to a consciously desired outcome.

How does hypnosis work?

THE HYPNOTIC STATE

The brain has different levels of consciousness, or awareness, ranging from fully alert to drowsy to fully asleep, with variations in between. Hypnotic states occur naturally and spontaneously.

Everyday examples include:

• Daydreaming
• Being absorbed in a pleasant task & losing track of time
• Doing a mundane task (such as washing the dishes) while thinking about something else, to the degree that you can’t actually remember performing the task
• Getting lulled into a dreamy state by boredom, for example, when listening to a dull speech.

Clinical hypnosis deliberately induces this kind of relaxed state of awareness.

Once the mind is in a relaxed state, any therapeutic suggestions can have great effect on attitudes, perceptions and behaviours. The way that this occurs isn’t fully understood. Some researchers believe that hypnosis promotes particular brain wave activity that allows the mind to take in & adopt new ideas, while others suggest that hypnosis accesses the ‘unconscious mind’, which is more open to new ideas than the rational ‘conscious mind’.
