Frequently Asked Questions about Hypnosis:

What does hypnosis feel like?

Hypnosis is a means of moving into a perfectly natural state of mind that people actually move in and out of several times in a day. Have you ever had the experience of driving along the highway and suddenly realizing that you passed your exit several miles back? Or been so caught up in a book or movie or video game that you don't even realize that someone has been speaking to you for the past several minutes? THAT is hypnosis. So you see, when a hypnotist induces you into hypnosis they are not asking you to experience anything strange or that you haven't experienced before.

Can anyone be hypnotized?

Anyone of at least average intelligence, who can follow directions can be hypnotized. Occasionally, a person may need several attempts before actually entering into hypnosis. What causes this? Generally, it's holding onto a little bit of fear- fear of loss of control. This is actually a misunderstanding as the proper use of hypnosis actually gives you greater control over all aspects of your life.

Will I do something against my will?

When you are hypnotized , you are aware of all suggestions given to you and you will not do anything against your moral or ethical principles. (despite what you may have seen in stage shows of hypnosis)

Will I Remember Everything That Happens in Hypnosis?

Yes, you will remember everything that happens in hypnosis if that is your desire. Occasionally a person might choose to selectively forget certain facts for a time and then bring them up later when they are more ready.

What If You Can't Bring Me Out of It?

There is no danger of a person failing to come out of the hypnotic state. In fact it would be impossible to remain hypnotized. Some people choose to stay in trance a little longer because it feels so good and it's the most relaxed they've been in their lives!

But I Can't be Hypnotized!

Again, ANYONE can be hypnotized (see above). There is no such thing as a "good" subject or a "bad" subject, only those who choose not to follow directions.

WHY HYPNOSIS?

Because in hypnosis you access your subconscious or more powerful part of your mind where real, lasting change takes place. You may have heard it said that we only use 10% of our brain; hypnosis is a way to get access to that other 90% . Especially in habit and pain control, this eliminates any internal battle that may occur.

According to Roberta De Silva, Cht:

Fact: Any person of normal intelligence can be hypnotized. All that is necessary is imagination and a willingness to cooperate. The best subject is a person who has a good reason for hypnosis and a strong motivation to accomplish a particular need or desire. The ability to be hypnotized is dependent upon the ability to relax and simply listen.

For example, if you were going to learn to play the piano, your teacher would point to a particular key and say, "This is middle C." To you, that is a suggestion. You either accept or reject the fact that the note in question is middle C. If you accept, you will undoubtedly go on and learn to play the piano. If you reject the suggestion, you may eventually learn to play, but it will be a long, hard and confusing process. If you approach hypnosis with confidence, rather than fear, you will achieve your desired goals. Dave Elman, who instructs dentists in the field of hypnosis, has this to say - "Remove fear, and one hundred people out of one hundred will enter hypnosis easily."

	All Hypnosis is...

	All Hypnosis is Self-Hypnosis! You are always in control of your mind and your body while in hypnosis. You choose to enter hypnosis, stay in hypnosis, accept the suggestions, and emerge from hypnosis at all times. Hypnosis is a state of relaxation in which you are; 1. In total control and. 2. Can accept or reject any suggestions you hear Hypnosis is not; 1. Being controlled by someone else 2. A loss of self control 3. A state of unconsciousness 4. A state of sleep Examples of everyday hypnotic states which you have already experienced naturally: 1. Driving the car 2. Riding the elevator 3. Watching TV, movies, computer screens or video 4. Being bored by another person 5. Waking up and going to sleep 6. Daydreaming So hypnosis is a very natural state of being that we all experience many times a day already.. to regenerate and renew..., and we are simply helping the process along during hypnosis sessions, just like programming a computer to produce a document, project or program that will produce positive results!

	What is Hypnosis?

	By Jack Sparks, Certified Hypnotherapist hypnodynamics.com Hypnosis has proven to be one of the most effective means of bringing about the changes you desire in your life. While in hypnosis your conscious, or critical mind (the part that's analyzing this now), is temporarily turned down and you work directly with the hidden, feeling mind where real change takes place quickly. Hypnosis is a SAFE, natural response which allows you greater control over all aspects of your life. Your conscious mind is powerful. Your subconscious mind is infinitely more powerful!

Hard to Beleive?

When people ask me what can be accomplished through hypnosis, I respond, "almost anything" provided there is a readiness and willingness on the part of the person being hypnotized. I have witnessed everything from (migraine) headaches being removed in 45 seconds to a lifetime habit of stuttering cured in only one session !

In addition, many women have experienced completely painless childbirth with hypnosis. Dental patients can endure even root canals comfortably, without anesthetic using hypnosis, and medical surgery is also performed under hypnosis on those having allergies to anesthesia, with great success. These therapies are being used much more commonly, and they illustrate the amazing results possible through hypnosis and self-hypnosis.

Hypnosis and you:

Hypnosis is truly the "people's therapy" and has proven effective in a variety of areas including: smoking cessation; losing weight; gaining confidence; recalling and overcoming trauma; overcoming panic ; anxiety and insomnia. And there are no harmful side effects. For more in-depth hypnotherapy, contact a certified hypnotherapist in your area. Many issues can be successfully treated through use of self- hypnosis tapes.

Whether you're a frustrated student wanting to get truly excited about learning ("Effective Studying"), a smoker who's really ready to quit ("Stop Smoking"), or a pregnant woman wanting an unmedicated birth without suffering, hypnosis is for you.
