Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness, or ‘trance’, which is used to aid personal development, overcoming obstacles or blocks, and healing.

Have you ever been so involved in a task on the internet that you have lost track of time?

Have you ever traveled from one place to another and arrived safely at your destination but not really remembered the journey?

Or have you ever read a book and become so absorbed in the plot you can see the scenery and hear the characters speak?

These are everyday examples of a natural focused state of awareness, or ’trance’.

During hypnosis, our conscious mind (the analytical, decision making part of our mind that we like to think is in control) relaxes, thereby allowing us to access and communicate with the subconscious & unconscious mind (the powerful, automatic part of the mind which controls our habits, behaviors, long term memories, emotions, imagination and even our central nervous system).

It is in working with the subconscious mind to explore your potentials and untapped resources that will lead to the transformation of self-limiting behaviors and beliefs.

Hypnosis is completely natural and safe (we all drift in and out of trances throughout the day and we call it daydreaming!).

Everyone can be hypnotized if they wish to be, though what people experience during hypnosis differs from one person to another. You will feel relaxed, completely aware of everything that is happening and in total control at all times.

Myths about hypnosis:

Myth #1: Hypnosis is an "altered state of consciousness."

Fact: Hypnosis is a totally natural state, experienced by all of us. It is not a mystical sixth dimension, but a natural process that takes you to a natural state of consciousness. We experience it everyday, like the first five minutes of sleep - we know we could open our eyes if we wanted to, but it feels so good to relax, that we don't.

Myth #2: Hypnosis is mind control.

Fact: Hypnosis in not something that is done to you, but with you. You have complete control before, during and after the session. You will never do anything against your will.

Myth #3: Only some people can be hypnotized.

Fact: We all experience this natural state everyday. We are always awake, asleep, or somewhere in between. That "in-between" is hypnosis. Everyone can experience it. There's no such thing as someone who's not hypnotizable.

Myth #4: Hypnosis is the best way to change.

Fact: Hypnosis is one tool of many, that can permanently change your life for the better.

Myth #5: Hypnosis can be dangerous.

Fact: Absolutely not. Once again, everyone goes into hypnosis. When you are intently watching an exciting movie, driving along a monotonous road, listening to music that captures a mood, you are in a light stage of hypnosis. When you are in a guided hypnotic trance session, or driving down the road in trance, you have an observer self, which is an actual part of you that is always aware and watching out for you. This observer self has been documented as a credible aspect of our mind, that keeps us safe, even when asleep. During hypnosis you can trust that your observer self will watch over you. This is not a guide or spiritual being, is a scientific discovery of a function of our brain.

Myth #6: I'll forget everything from the session.

Fact: While there may occasionally be amnesia after a session, it is not typical. You will be aware of everything that is happening around you and will remember most, if not all, of what happened during our session.
