What is Hypnosis?
In the past Hypnosis was thought to be a sleep state (The word "Hypnosis" is Greek meaning "God of sleep") but it is
much truer to define it as a state between sleep and approaching wakefulness. Hypnosis is entered into naturally a
variety of times throughout each day but unfortunately when these states of hypnosis are reached they are often
disregarded and overlooked.
Hypnosis can be specifically and intentionally reached with the help of a trained hypnotist through the use of
hypnotic inductions. Hypnosis can be defined as an artificially induced, relaxed, focused state of concentration. In
this state a person’s receptiveness is enhanced. During a hypnosis session this state of enhanced receptiveness is
used intentionally and directed specifically in order to create desired results. This makes hypnosis an efficient and
effective tool for changing undesirable thought patterns and behavioural responses. These changes encourage the
possibility for a person to live the life they desire.
Why Hypnosis?
During hypnosis the brain is in a relaxed, focused and highly receptive state; suggestions offered, by a trained
Hypnotherapist, are readily and easily absorbed by a brain that is in this brain-state.
Hypnosis has long been understood and reported to have the average success rate of 93% after just 6 sessions in
comparison to Psychoanalysis (a broad term used to encompass many commonly used psychological approaches
which focus on identifying the "problems") which has been found to be effective 38% of the time after 600 sessions
(Barrios, 1970)!
For many, Hypnotherapy makes the improvements being sought not only possible but much quicker than any other
form of treatment.
How does hypnosis work?
Normally we go in and out of a hypnotic brain state without ever utilizing or directing it because we don’t realize our own power to do so.
During hypnosis, very specific and intentional suggestions, created and administered by the hypnotherapist, are offered.
Due to the brain’s enhanced receptivity the suggestions are readily and easily absorbed.

Can hypnosis make me do something against my will?
No, you never do anything against your will. It’s necessary to understand how powerful your mind really is - if there is a suggestion offered that is against any morals or values the mind rejects it.
The brain wave that is utilized during the beginning phase of hypnosis is the same brain wave in which two thirds of television viewing is spent. Advertisers know this and they use it to encourage us to purchase; our purchases however are still within the realm of our control.
