What is hypnotherapy?
WHAT IS HYPNOSIS?
Hypnosis is a process by which you become totally relaxed and allow your conscious (thinking)
mind to stand aside for a period while you focus in on your subconscious.
It is a relaxed, yet focused state of concentration. It works off the concept that words and ideas have power when we surround these words and ideas with our complete attention.
Hypnosis allows the subconscious mind to accept new ideas without resistance allowing us
to create positive changes in our attitude and behavior.
HOW DOES HYPNOSIS WORK?
Our subconscious mind automatically controls our bodily functions;
breathing, heart beating, eyes blinking, and organs functioning. The subconscious
mind contains every belief, thought, word, and experience you have ever had.
Just like a computer operates only on its programming, so does your
subconscious mind. Just like a computer can be reprogrammed, through hypnosis
your subconscious mind can be reprogrammed.
WHAT IS HYPNOTHERAPY?
Hypnotherapy combines counseling with hypnosis. You communicate with the
deepest layers of your personality to create new and more powerful ways to
solve problems, overcome fears and limitations, and make lasting changes in
your life.
HOW CAN HYPNOTHERAPY HELP ME?
You can overcome anxieties, fears and phobias, you can move away from
negative habits, unrewarding jobs and unfulfilling relationships, you can
lessen or remove pain, you can heal sadness, anger and stress, Hypnotherapy has also
been used successfully to enhance performance skills. Hypnotherapy assists you to direct your life toward health, wealth, happiness and inner peace.
WHAT DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE HYPNOTIZED?
A daydream and a hypnotic state are the same process. In a daydream,
you are aware of where you are and what you are doing, but at the same time you
are very absorbed in the experience and sensations of your thoughts, ideas, and
images of that daydream. Watching a movie, driving home on auto-pilot,
practicing meditation or other relaxation techniques are other examples of this
natural state of the mind.
`
I'VE SEEN STAGE HYPNOTISTS ON TV. WILL YOU BE ABLE
TO CONTROL ME THAT WAY?
The answer is NO. Most of what is presented in stage hypnosis is very
distorted and misleading. A common misconception is that the hypnotic subject
is under someone else's control. You are always in control. At any time the
hypnotic state may be discontinued, just as we do with a daydream.
CAN I BE HYPNOTIZED?
Most of the population goes into hypnosis very easily, while a small
percentage show great resistance (usually around the issue of being controlled)
and the hypnotherapist may need to work with such people to help them "get
out of their own way."
MUST I BELIEVE IN HYPNOSIS FOR IT TO WORK?
No. Hypnosis is not based on faith healing. Hypnosis is based upon scientific
principles which work whether or not we believe in them. In 1958 the AMA
(American Medical Association), recognized hypnosis as a safe and effective
treatment for a wide range of medical and behavioral problems.
HOW IS HYPNOSIS DIFFERENT FROM MEDITATION OR
RELAXATION?
Hypnosis is similar to meditation as a process for achieving a creative
and peaceful state of mind. The difference is that in meditation that state of
mind is the goal; and in hypnosis the emphasis is on actively using that state
of mind to achieve what is being suggested by our words, thoughts, and ideas.
WHAT IS REGRESSION THERAPY?
Regression therapy, one of the most effective methods of hypnotherapy,
is useful in exploring whether the problem has roots in traumatic experiences
from childhood. If so, regression therapy can help expedite the process of
working through feelings around traumatic incidents that never were expressed
and help change self-limiting decisions you made about yourself or your
circumstances as a result of the trauma.
IS PAST LIFE REGRESSION REAL OR IMAGINED?
It could possibly be only our imagination, a metaphorical way for the mind to find answers.
Some people who don't believe in past lives, have never inquired about it and yet, when asking
their subconscious to take them to the cause of the problem, they find
themselves in another body, in another time. And their experience is very real
and relevant to the struggles they are experiencing in this lifetime. It has a
profound effect on some people's lives. In almost every past life regression,
there is a major positive change in the person's life.
WHAT IS MY FIRST HYPNOTHERAPY SESSION LIKE?
At Moonlite Healing, your first session will consist of asking you
questions to get some insight into why you've come, what motivates you and what
your beliefs and expectations might be. While relaxing in a recliner and
once you're in a state of relaxation, Debbie offers positive suggestions
to your subconscious mind specifically geared to reach your desired goal. Your
subconscious mind can then transmit these thoughts and images throughout your
mind and body, setting the healing process in motion. May require one or
two visits. Session lasts two hours.
WHAT IS A REGRESSION THERAPY SESSION LIKE?
Debbie will converse directly with
your subconscious mind addressing the particular issues that you have come for.
Similar to a dream, you will begin to develop pictures, images, feelings and
sensations in your mind to accompany the questions you hear Debbie
asking. This may bring you back to your childhood or bring you to a
symbolic dream to help you gain insight of your present issue. Your
subconscious mind, where all your memories are stored, will be able to bring
this up for the conscious mind to see and understand, allowing you to
permanently remove the negative charge associated with the unwanted
behavior. Session lasts 2 hours.
