Hypnosis is known to most of us through the world of entertainment. We've seen stage hypnotists in action making their subjects bark like dogs and cluck like chickens. Even amazingly imaginative feats like becoming rigid like a board and being hung on the back of a chair. The power of your imagination only needs to be harnessed to produce the impossible.

      Have you ever daydreamed, or gone on a trip and all of a sudden you are at your destination? Where did the time go and where did your mind go? In both cases you were in an informal trance state that is called self-hypnosis. Hypnosis is a normal natural state of mind that happens many times every day. Another example of our daily trip into the alpha state is at night in bed, just before falling asleep.

      We can enter alpha in numerous ways: staring out the window while daydreaming, getting lost in a good book, sitting in Church engrossed in a sermon, listening to music, or whenever we find our imaginations running freely.

What will I experience?

      Your hypnotherapist will take you through a full body relaxation and hypnosis exercise. During this you may feel light and airy as though you were floating, heavy like a lump of lead with arms or legs so heavy you don't want to move them, your eyes may water, or your lids may flutter, and you will feel profoundly relaxed. Any or all of these physical signs accompany hypnosis. Even your ability to imagine is enhanced, memory is enhanced, and creativity is enhanced.

      Above all, the total relaxation of your whole experience will allow your major organs and glands to work in perfect harmony. Just the way they were created to work. Your blood pressure will be lower. Your hormone levels will come back to normal. All of these things will make you feel absolutely wonderful and mellow, able to cope with anything that comes your way. And the next few nights you may sleep like a baby, without a care in the world.

      Since the re-introduction of hypnosis into Western Medicine they have discovered there are many varied uses that hypnosis can be safely applied. Now, not only physical trauma but also emotional trauma can be handled with relative speed and ease. Those of you who have been in counseling, for any sort of abuse, know how long some of this needs to be dealt with. With hypnosis even severe sexual abuse as a youngster can be handled in a matter of weeks so the adult client can get on with their life.

      Anger and/or Stress managements are two more areas that can be handled quickly and successfully with hypnosis. Many have heard how the stresses in our lives affect not only blood pressure but the whole condition of our health. Learning a few simple techniques for self-hypnosis you can relieve the stress instantly returning to a more calm state, handling situations with intellect rather than reacting with emotion. This also works for phobias and fears.

      Simply learning a few self-hypnosis techniques can reduce the stress of Childbirth, Medical & Dental procedures - Being more relaxed will allow the pain control drugs to be more effective. You can even decrease the time it takes to heal.

      Old habits have also benefitted from hypnosis. Any of you that have used hypnosis to quit smoking or lose weight will know how successful this can be. Those who have tried it and have failed may need a small amount of help for the emotional needs satisfied by either of the habits. The many Quick Fix Hypnoses programs that sail through town address mostly superficial roots to these habits. If you are one of these persons who have tried a hypnosis program but need a little more, call and in a session or two we can address the deeper needs.

      Many professionals in sports, business and other walks of life have used hypnosis to improve performance - you can to! A short hypnosis program, many times just a session or two, can also improve a student's grades and study habits. Find out the reasons behind any of your self-sabotage and rewrite a new healthier script for your life. Self improvement of all types lends itself well to the uses of hypnosis.
