Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy and hypnosis have been used since ancient times to provide a safe and drug free method of creating desired changes quickly. It is completely natural and there are no side effects. A hypnotic state allows your unconscious mind to absorb new, acceptable, beneficial suggestions. This hypnotic state, or altered state of consciousness, is completely natural and occurs many times a day for everyone, even though you may not realise it. If you have ever daydreamed, felt as if you were actually there while reading a book or watching a film, woken in the morning and been so comfortable under your sheets or quilt that you couldn't be bothered to open your eyes but have heard everything going on around you, then you have been in an altered state of consciousness at some level! In a nutshell, hypnotherapy is an enjoyable and safe way to accelerate any positive, desired behaviour or thinking in to your subconscious mind quickly, easily, enjoyably and safely.

How Hypnotherapy Works
All hypnosis is self hypnosis, in other words a therapist will give you instructions to imagine things in a certain way and it is up to you to follow those instructions.

This leads you into an altered state of consciousness into which you allow yourself to enter, with the guidance of the therapist. You are in control at all times, you always know what is happening, and you can come out of the altered state at any time in the same way one can snap out of a vivid daydream.

The hypnotic state can feel as if you are dreaming or daydreaming and is a natural form of consciousness which many people experience on a daily basis.

Within the hypnotic state one can by-pass the barriers to our inner thoughts and feelings, and suggestions are acted upon much more powerfully than is possible in a normal state of mind.

Mental imagery can also be utilised to assist people to make changes in their lives. The subconscious mind does not distinguish between ´real` and imagined` experiences, which is why dreams can feel real.

This phenomenon can be used so that clients can create new positive realities for themselves or alter their perception of past events which may affect current behaviour.

There is also a growing body of scientific knowledge - psychoneuroimmunology - which is showing that the mind is directly linked to our immune systems, which means that techniques used in hypnotherapy can also affect our physical as well as psychological and spiritual well-being.
