"If we want to create a new personal reality - a new life - we must begin to examine the thoughts, emotions and behaviours we've been living by, and change them."

Hypnosis is a natural physiological state of heightened concentration, occurring whenever your attention is narrowly focused on a specific mental or physical task. In a hypnotized state, you are conscious, alert and so absorbed in what you are thinking or doing that you choose to ignore everything else. Essentially, hypnosis is focused thought.

Some of the ways you have likely already experienced hypnosis might include:

•  Arriving at your destination by car and realizing you don't remember your drive. 

• Being so focused on something (art, a craft, gardening, reading, watching a movie) that you lose all track of time.

• Daydreaming to the point of not hearing what's going on around you.

• Getting into 'the zone" with a sport or anything you love to do.

All of these are examples of how we experience hypnosis in everyday life. 

While in the hypnotic state, the conscious critical mind becomes an observer, and allows direct communication with the subconscious mind. During this state the  hypnotherapist can help their clients make changes at the deep subconscious level needed for permanent change.

The subconscious part of our mind accounts for 95% of our brain power, and is where all of our long-term memories are stored and beliefs are held. Accessing this part of our mind through hypnosis can create an expanded awareness of information which may have been kept hidden from the conscious mind. This allows old programming to be updated, old problems to be reframed and new perspectives to be discovered. 

This is where the magic happens!
