While in hypnotic trance you
can expect to feel relaxed and focused thus
allowing the conscious mind to "go to sleep." The
conscious mind is where we analyze, judge, and
store short term memory. Tapping into the
subconscious mind allows you access to long-term
memory, values, beliefs, and emotions. This is
where old conclusions are stored and is also where
habit patterns, relationship patterns, and
addictions are rooted. Most of us spend a great
deal of energy holding on to old grief, anger,
guilt, shame and fear. These emotions are the basis
for many of our undesirable behaviors and/or
addictions. When old events and emotions are
revisited, it is possible to release and heal those
old experiences.
In more simple terms, the
subconscious mind is much like a greenhouse. Roses
and orchids can flourish in this environment. So
can dandelions and other invasive weeds. The weeds
can actually choke out the desirable plants.
Hypnotherapy really is the process of weeding out
the unwanted, clearing the way so that new and
desirable behaviors and feelings will
thrive.
Many people have tried
repeatedly to lose weight, stop smoking, or solve
their emotional problems at the conscious level.
The results are often times limiting and
discouraging. With hypnotherapy you not only feel
accomplishment but through this process, you feel
rested, refreshed and recharged. Doing this kind of
work will very likely filter into and influence
other aspects of your life.
