Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness or awareness. In fact, you may have experienced something like it while reading a good book, praying, meditating, watching a movie, or even driving down the highway.

 

Hypnosis is simply a very relaxed state in which both the conscious and subconscious parts of your mind are quietly focused, alert and open to suggestions. 

 

Hypnosis can be used safely and effectively to improve many issues, especially if your are committed to changing. It is effective because it helps you bypass all the critical factors of your conscious mind, allowing positive suggestions to enter your subconscious mind and overwrite old, self-sabotaging habits, thoughts and emotions stored there. Tapping into your subconscious through hypnosis opens the door to transform your life in ways you may have never imagined possible. 

 

Although you are more open to suggestion during hypnosis, you will always be in control over your behavior because your conscious mind is up to 300 times more alert in this state. You can rest assured that you will only do what you want to do. To learn more, read Frequently Asked Questions about hypnosis.
