Hypnosis is a natural state that we all experience several times a day. When you are watching a movie that you are engrossed in, driving down a long monotonous road, listening to music that captures a mood or engrosses you, you are in hypnosis. We experience hypnosis every day and don't even know it. While the brain is in an alpha state, the mind and body can be directed to make changes at the core level, create new positive habits and release old conflicts and issues. During this time the mind is very open to visualizations and creating a rich sensory experience. The more real the experience becomes in the subconscious mind during this state, the more effect it will have on your waking behavior.

If you have been struggling with your weight, or you are in pain, or having fear about what life presents to you, you can find help with Hypnotherapy.

Is hypnosis dangerous, and can I be forced to do something against my will in hypnosis?

During hypnosis, you are always in control. You always have a choice, and your brain does not stop functioning or reasoning. Stage hypnotists seem to make people do strange things while hypnotized, but the truth is that these people are doing these things because they have a desire to be outrageous. If the stage hypnotists chooses their subjects carefully they will have willing participants. You will never do anything, or accept any suggestion that violates your morals or values.

Can Hypnosis improve my health?

You are constantly growing new cells.  Every cell that dies off get it's instructions from the old cell, and in the case of skin cells, if there was a scar, the new cell is instructed to form in the same way as the old cell and become part of the scar tissue . But why does this perfectly healthy  new cell have to take on the memory of the old cell?  We get  completely new skin every 20 days. All of our skin cells are replaced. They do not need to be replaced with the old messages. Hypnosis seems to be the messenger that can send information to the new cell, and break the communication of damage or aging, or injury. It is a well researched fact that hypnosis can increase the function of the immune system and affect cancer cells. In fact, Norman Cousins did a test to find out just how dramatic the effect is on the immune system after just one hour. He had blood drawn before his meditation session, then again immediately after. In one hour some immune factors in the blood had increased 200%. So when you have a cold, if you let yourself be miserable and focus on how sick you are getting, that is what you will get! Your immune system will respond by suppressing the activity.

If you decide to be well, and focus your thought on how quickly your body recovers, energize your immune system, and give your mind and body the energetic material it needs, you will probably get well very quickly. I am sure you know someone who goes around saying " I never get a cold, I just don't get sick" and they don't.  You have probably wondered how they could do that, and now you know!
