What is the basis of hypnosis?
In a state of profound
relaxation, you can access the mind's database of patterns,
habits, thoughts, visions, dreams, and experiences. This allows the
client to see the causes of habits and problems, to gain
clarity and then to access their inner wisdom so that they can move forward and create change.
Can everyone be hypnotized?
The majority of people can be hypnotized - i.e. about 90%. Some
people go very deeply into hypnosis and some experience a lighter state, but
the majority are in the middle.
Hypnosis is basically a state of deep relaxation and nearly
everyone is able to attain a deep enough level of relaxation in order
for it to be effective.
Can someone go too deeply?
Even if you go very deeply the client always retains complete
awareness and control. You are not "under" hypnosis, but
just find a quiet place within. In this place your conscious mind relaxes so that
you can access your subconscious mind where you can gain great insight
and it is from this level that suggestion, visualization and positive affirmations
become particularly effective.
Do I need a series of sessions or just one
session?
That depends on you. The goal is to help you create as much
change as is comfortable for you. For some long-standing patterns you may want
to take the time to explore different aspects of it. Some people
see tremendous shifts in just one session and what supports this is
the CD recorded just for you affirming the changes you want to
make. Listening to this CD is
like receiving hypnosis every day.
How is the state of
hypnosis created in a session?
We'll first talk about what you want to explore and possibly do some
preliminary techniques. Then about 30 minutes into the session we
can begin the actual hypnosis part. At this time you relax in
comfortable chair (or if you want you can lie down on the Reiki table). Then
I play relaxing music and help you go into hypnosis in a number of ways,
through certain hypnotic touch points (i.e. the shoulders, top of head,
and hands), the counting down numbers and the use relaxing imagery and
guided meditation. You'll have the experience of going progressively
deeper into relaxation. You may have a feeling of heaviness like a blanket of peace is covering you; or you may feel
light like you are floating. Your breathing and heart rate will slow
down. And even though you may still hear sounds in the environment there
will still be a sense of deep inner quiet.
How does hypnosis
facilitate personal transformation?
You most likely will have some particular issue that you are looking at.
First I will help you to experience what's going on and see what
feelings or thoughts are coming up for you and possibly determine the
origin whether it's from a recent occurrence, from an older occurrence, or even a
past life. The second step of the transformational process is release.
Here, you are able to let go of unwanted thoughts, feelings, or
energies. This happens naturally as issues are being resolved. The third
stage is transformation. I facilitate you getting in touch with your
essential self, your core of spiritual strength. Then I bring you out of
hypnosis and it's likely that with your new awareness, you'll feel more
centered and calm, having brought more resolution to the issue at hand
and in new ways of seeing your life.
How are individualized
hypnosis CDs created for me?
This CD is recorded as you relax in the hypnotic state. This is custom
made to support you with your continued personal development and is
specific to your issue. It is a highly individualized custom-made
CD with hypnotic induction, voice, and music. Listening to it on a
regular basis is like having hypnosis every day. (Note: this is a
10-15 minute recording of a relaxation process and my voice and words done after
the hypnosis
part of the session is done).
Will the effects of
hypnosis fade with time?
It's possible to come for one session and achieve permanent results.
However, you may have issues that resurface periodically. Over time, you
can become the master of your issues so that if they reappear, you have
the tools to successfully manage them. In this way, hypnosis offers
unlimited healing to alleviate many of the obstacles in our lives and
helps us to reach new levels of inner transformation.
How often
would I come if I'd like additional sessions?
Some
people choose to come back a week or two later to work on a different
aspect, others may come back once a month or as needed i.e. maybe as
infrequently as once or twice a year (for a tune up or to work on a
different issue).
How long is a session?
The sessions
last 90 minutes and is tailored to you. These sessions are just done
in person, however I do make personalized CD's for those at a distance. All sessions include a personally
recorded guided imagery cd or mp3 that you take with you at the end of the
session - this recording will support your growth. This recording is
10-20 minutes in length and will have my voice and some soft music.
This is recorded live in your session and is specific to your goals, desires
or healing.
Why is Hypnosis helpful?
We human beings have tremendous potential and working with hypnosis supports us in
channeling our potential, in healing our past, in gaining new insight and in gaining momentum.
Hypnosis is mostly a matter of helping "the client get out of their
own way."
