All that we are is the result of what we have thought. The mind is everything. What we think we become.
Buddha

Hypnosis is, very simply, a changed state of consciousness. It is that state you experience just as you wake up, when something on the TV or at the cinema completely transfixes you, the state you achieve during meditation or mindfulness. It is a perfectly natural state. The only difference is that with hypnosis, you have been guided into the state, rather than the state occurring because of what you are doing. The advantage of the trance state is that it allows us to communicate directly with the unconscious mind, making suggestions, planting ideas, building on what you already know about yourself. And, of course, you remain completely in control and you will only do what you want to do. The power remains yours.

Using Hypnosis

Hypnosis can complement the work being undertaken in coaching sessions, reinforcing the positive learnings and progress,. It can be used to build on motivation.  As a stand-alone intervention, it is good for dealing with anxiety and addiction to substances, although in these cases it very much depends on how entrenched the unwanted behaviour is. Hypnosis can also be used as another tool for relaxation, taking you into a restful trance which can also be extended to improve sleep. Whatever the issue, if hypnosis may increase your ability to succeed and make the changes that you want to make, moving from your current reality into a new model of the world.

The recording, lasting about 17 minutes, gives you an idea of what hypnosis is like. Make sure that you are sitting somewhere comfortable and where you are unlikely to be disturbed. If you can stop calls and people from distracting you, even better.

Most people walk through the world in a trance of disempowerment. Our task is to transform that into a trance of empowerment.
