What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a form of directed relaxation whereby you gain access to your mind, where behavioural patterns and belief patterns reside. This allows you to create lasting changes effectively and quickly.

Hypnosis is a way to communicate with your own mind, or to help other people to communicate with their minds. It's a way to access patterns of behaviours and thinking that you wish to change and improve.

Contrary to popular belief, the state of hypnosis is simply a slower level of brainwave activity that we all go into several times each day. The feeling is akin to a relaxed state.

Formal hypnotic inductions include creating a relaxing story, visualisation or progressive relaxation process for one to follow in order to reach that relaxed state of being. The hypnotist isn't responsible for the subject reaching the relaxed state. Since every individual is in control of your own mind, the subject is always choosing to enter the state of hypnosis by their own free will. This is why Self Hypnosis is also so easy and effective.

All hypnosis is actually self hypnosis.

The power of the hypnotic state comes when you learn how to create it at will, or to help others get over the hurdle of the normal waking state into a relaxed, open, hypnotic state, solely to create changes to behaviours, thinking and beliefs.

The Most Common Uses for Hypnosis Include:

• Creating more relaxation and calm
• Letting go of habits such as smoking or nail biting
• Creating more motivation, focus, clarity or other positive emotions
• Increasing performance or skill level of something like golf or tennis
• Getting a better nights sleep

FAQs

Can I be hypnotised?

Yes. Hypnosis is a natural state that we all enter into many times a day. Going into a hypnotic state only requires you to follow simple instructions and follow along step by step.

Even if you have a short attention span, or have trouble concentrating, you will find hypnosis easy if you are committed to following along with a sense of curiosity.

It's not a competition, so just come with a sense of curiosity and you will get the best result.

Is hypnosis safe?

Yes. Hypnosis is safe and you will be aware of everything that is going on the entire time. The hypnotic subject is always in control, and merely chooses to follow along for the purposes of making positive changes to behaviours.

If at any time the subject decides that they no longer wish to be in this state, they simply choose not to.

Will I cluck like a chicken?

No. You will never do anything in hypnosis that isn't okay with you.

We only teach hypnosis for therapeutic purposes, where students are simply invited to follow along with simple instructions to create visualisations in the mind. These visualisations allow the subject to open up the gate to the unconscious mind in order to make wanted changes in life.

Hypnotic stage shows and videos on You Tube where subjects do funny and strange things are missing a great deal of context which makes them seem magical and scary, when in fact, the subject in hypnosis is ALWAYS in control.

How is the live class structured?

This is a dynamic, hands on training. We will teach the theory first and then give you plenty of time to work in groups and partners to give you maximum exposure and practice to the tools.

Can I use hypnosis with other modalities I already use?

Yes. Many of our students go on to attend our Hypnotherapy Certification Training and incorporate hypnosis into what they already offer in their client sessions. Some of the common modalities include: Reiki, Massage, Life Coaching, Energy Healing, Personal Training, Yoga, Counselling, and others.
