Above all else, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It is completely up to you, the client, to make it work for you. No one can make you do something that you do not want to do. It is up to you to make hypnosis work. Hypnosis is not sleep, nor is it a state of unconsciousness. It also is not being weak-minded or gullible. In fact, it has been stated the higher one’s intelligence, the better hypnotic subject he or she will make. Additionally, hypnosis is not being controlled by someone else. Hypnosis is, in fact a focused state of awareness that often includes deep relaxation. It uses your imagination, and exercises your mind. You are the amazing part that makes hypnosis successful. It is entirely up to you how relaxed you allow yourself to be or not to be.

Can Anyone Be Hypnotized?

Everyone goes in and out of trance on a regular basis. Daydreaming is an example, or being totally captivated by a movie you are watching so you do not notice what is going on around you. If you can focus and you have the desire to be hypnotized, hypnosis will work for you. The more you practice hypnosis, the better you will be at going into trance the next time.

What Can Hypnosis Do?

Hypnosis is a powerful tool available to anyone wishing to change something in his or her life. By communicating with your unconscious mind through hypnosis, you may achieve remarkable results. Your unconscious mind stores all of your emotions, memories and habits. By entering into the realm of the unconscious, permanent changes can occur.

Your personal hypnotherapist is simply a qualified, trained professional who assists you with communicating in the most effective way with your unconscious mind.

You Must Want Hypnosis to Work

Whatever changes you are hoping to achieve, you have to want them in order for hypnosis to work. Remember, you never do anything while in a hypnotic state that you do not want to do.
