What is Hypnosis?

Before anyone experiences hypnosis and starts using to make changes beautiful, beneficial in your life, this article is designed to answer some questions that perhaps you may have and dispel some myths and misconceptions about hypnosis.

You know, I still meet people who believe know that hypnosis is like being unconscious. I always say, "What would be the point of money? Expense and time to be oblivious to anyone other company? If I wanted you to be unconscious, we would simply bash you over the head "So it is important that you also know that hypnosis is not to be unconscious, and you have correct expectations about the hypnotic experience you want, you must choose to invest in one of our products or hypnosis for yourself the experience even a hypnotist.

To understand hypnosis, it is important to understand and distinguish our minds. With this I want to talk to our conscious mind, where we are now, and just below the level of awareness is our unconscious mind (also known as the subconscious mind, because they are easy to understand the same thing).

The conscious mind is where we usually spend most of our waking hours, you know that the internal dialogue, we must think "Hmm, what shoes I wear today" is your conscious mind. Your conscious mind is essentially four things;

First of all, your conscious mind analysis. What is this? Well, it's part of us that look at the problems, analyze them and try to create solutions to these problems. It 'part of us that makes decisions all day every day ", I open the door?", "Do I need to eat," even though they are automatic behaviors that we make a conscious choice or not to do these things.

The second part of our conscious mind is our purpose, that part of us that, especially in Western cultures, have always to know "why" things and "why" we behave in certain ways. This can give us so many problems that we give all the problems of growing confidence and power. More conventional approaches and traditional counseling or psychotherapy is often very busy looking at the causes of our problems and it is my opinion that all this tells us the "why" they are opposed to giving us the skills needed to change habits and undesirable behavior. The more we think about "why" we do things the more we seem to integrate the undesirable behavior in our psyche!

The third part of our conscious mind is the will, the determination of teeth that many of us are proud to demonstrate. How many times have we used our power alone will be to make changes and found that only weakens our power and the change is temporary or nonexistent.

The last part of the conscious mind is your short-term memory. By that I mean things that you need to remember feature a daily basis, so that when the phone rings you answer it and ask him not to look, or cross the street without a hit.

It is the conscious part of your mind, it is logical, rational and analytical, a little like Mr. Spock from the Start Trek series and as it pains me to say, our conscious mind are often wrong about things.

Your conscious mind is anywhere which states at once. I'm sure you were in a very busy and noisy environment like a restaurant or a bar and a conversation with another person, and all the sounds around you just seem to blend into the background. Then someone else ten meters can score his sentences with his name and will treat it as if it had been sent to you. This shows that the subconscious is his knowledge of many, a lot of information every second of your life, sounds, colors, thoughts, etc, but his conscious mind to focus on what is relevant or appropriate for you at this time .

If you notice that the item inside and yourself and not from the outside world, they begin to realize your inner self, your unconscious, which is the part of you that we work with hypnosis.

Your subconscious is very powerful and automated behavior so much as she can not think about it. For example, there was a time in your life when you had to demonstrate how to tie shoelaces, and focused on doing this. I suspect that at this stage of your life that you know how to tie their great and not even think about doing it, just do it. I have an aunt lonely as a child, my mother asked me over the phone on a weekly basis, as she thought she pleases and I vividly remember your audience to light a cigarette and exhaling smoke heavily while on the phone, even think about what he did, has been associated with smoking on the phone.

We machine learning disabilities, and learned behaviors and habits and our unconscious mind to automate them and autopilot so you do not have to worry about them.

Your subconscious mind has in it all your long-term memory. Almost every blade of grass that you saw in your whole life is tucked away in your long-term memory that serves as a great storage center. These memories affect us in different ways, some more than others. Sometimes, our ability to remember it is not as fluid as we need, because it is often not necessary to have all of our memory at the forefront of our minds. For example, you are right now is unlikely to think about what happened to you on your last birthday, but I just mentioned, you can delve into your unconscious, long-term memory and recall.

Another example: If you have never seen a stand up comedy. We look at the actor and laugh (or not as the case may be!) Well my heart that you listen to lots and lots of jokes. Then when you leave the site, you can remember any of them, or one or two at best! Then a week later, a friend who said "Do you remember this or that joke that the comedian last week" and think "Oh yeeeaaah" as you pass this information on your long-term memory. You know that you know the joke, which was not only at the forefront of your conscious mind, which was hidden in the deepest unconscious.

Your unconscious mind knows more about you than you consciously know. It seems confused? Well, just think, you're breathing, your heart beats (toivon!) You have to digest, your body regulates its body temperature, makes a number of great things, and you do not have to think consciously about it. Not sitting around thinking "I really need to remember to breathe." We are not machines, not the intelligence of us, who knows how to do these things, and the fact that the intelligence that we make with hypnosis.

Your subconscious is where you get your intuition, instinct and intuition communicates with you sporadically, from time to time. Like when sometimes someone can say all the right words for you, but you get a different feeling about them.

Your subconscious mind is a bit 'like a computer. All life is programmed with all the experiences, relationships, interpretations of the world, influences and all this culminated in the performance of computer programming. Hypnosis is just a way to use the computer and updating that programming so that it becomes instinctive and intuitive, you can make changes to please you.

Your subconscious mind is a place where emotions and behavior exists and is a part of you, we work with hypnosis. Hypnosis is a way for us to go beyond the conscious mind and unconscious mind to make powerful and profound changes.

Now I'm sure they have experienced natural trance states many times before, in fact, I know. For example, when they went in a car and thought to yourself "oh, how did I get here?" or when reading a book and has turned the page and thought, "I have no idea what I read, I'll have to read it again." I remember in school my history teacher taught me, but my mind was thousands of miles with the hope that I was doing something else. All common experiences such as daydreaming states that we all experience several times a day. The only difference between these states of nature and its use in therapeutic hypnosis is that hypnosis is intended to enter the state you are in control of him and he is like a slightly amplified version of the state more. That's it.

Sometimes it's just like sitting in a chair with eyes closed, not a magical, mysterious or unusual experience, that some people are led to believe.

It 'important to know that you can not do anything that you do not want to do. Very important. I was the guy who referred to a doctor for me, came up to me and said: "My doctor told me to come and see, as I have emphysema and am about to die unless you stop smoking" . I said, well I think you want to stop, he said, "Oh no, I love the smoke, is one of the few remaining pleasures." I had to send him away, because I can not make him do something he does not want. Can you imagine if I could do it! Wow. I could go see the bank manager and get him to give me a million pounds, with no return! Have you ever read "the bad hypnotists" to get people to rob banks or something absurd, because it can not be done.

Usually people tell me "ok Adam, I hear and understand what you say and it all makes sense." But I have seen stage hypnosis and seen people dancing like chickens, you tell me they want to? "I tell these people are not made to do things they do not want to.

When someone buys tickets for a show of stage hypnosis, they are yielding to the opinion they get to experience hypnosis for entertainment, they expect certain things from happening. Second, when the hypnotist asks the audience "who wants to come on stage" people who agree to do so or put your hands and say, "Yes, I want to be hypnotized," is not made to do something they do not want to. The hypnotist ensures that people are sensitive about the show and follow many years of compliance and he begins to create the illusion that these people do things they do not want to do when they are not. Hypnosis can step over the inhibitions of the conscious mind so that people show more openness, they can not be done to make things they do not want to do.

Anyone can be hypnotized. I work with insomniacs, heroin addicts, schizophrenics, people experiencing chemotherapy, these are all people who are often convinced that they can not relax or can not be hypnotized, and as long as they want, they can all, and they all do.

All that is required is that you have an open mind, wait for the job and is a progressive, reasoned thought processes, track sessions, and let them help you help to make the changes you want and deserve.

Finally, at the beginning of the hypnosis sessions recorded and / or individual NLP or hypnosis sessions with me (I can not speak for other therapists, we all do things differently) individually, you may be asked to perform a series of different things with your mind and can be forgiven for thinking: "Well, he asked me to do that, and now something else, and now something else, which supposed to be listening?" The simple answer is to listen and follow both or as little as you want, remember that your conscious mind to think these thoughts and not part of you that we work with and change with it. I'm sure there will be times when you think "Hmmm ... I'm in hypnosis, which means I have to be thinking or feeling." Again that is your conscious thought and the thought that no matter what you think.

This may be trying to follow everything I say or just walk away and think about what you want, just trust your unconscious absorbs everything you want.

There will be times in sessions, can be asked to imagine things. Imagining things should not be labeled for visualization. If I ask you to think about a favorite place, you can imagine what it would be like, you do not need to see a picture of a beautiful film version of this in your mind. One can imagine, the sense, I think, or simply do not know without seeing or imagining in every detail. If I asked you to imagine the sound your feet make when walking on gravel, you know the sound I'm talking about, and you can imagine, but can only be heard in the ears, you can imagine. It has everything you need.

Thus, hypnosis is not unconscious as it is almost like having more attention that it requires you to want to change, have an open mind and positive, as you can and let whatever happens happen, without try to understand what you think will happen, just let him pass.

I wish you all the best with any product hypnosis, or counseling sessions that you plan to have with any qualified therapist or program that you plan to attend, and I just know of having come this far, you really can do it and make the changes you want to do with hypnosis.
