What is Hypnotherapy
Hypnosis is commonly viewed as a natural, altered state of consciousness, where the conscious (analytical) mind is bypassed, and the subconscious (creative) mind is accessed. This allows a client to use the power of visualization and suggestion, to change and improve behaviour patterns and alter deep-rooted belief systems to give an improved or more positive outlook. Hypnosis is a state of mental and physical relaxation, along with a more focused sense of concentration – it is not sleep, as a lot of people believe.
The roots hypnosis can be traced back to ancient societies even earlier than the Egyptians. The ancient Chinese and Indian civilisations are thought to have performed healing using words to help cure patients. The Greeks and Egyptians had used 'sleep temples' for types of healing and meditation, the idea was that as a patient slept in the temple the cure for his or her ailment would appear in a dream.
Some of the common feelings that people have during the hypnotic process is a feeling of deep relaxation, of feeling like they know what is going on around them but are happy to stay in this relaxed state.
