What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is the original mind/body medicine and often the treatment of choice for certain health and emotional problems. Hypnosis can assist you in changing the way the brain interprets experiences and therefore, can change your life. Hypnosis can help you change your perceptions, your thoughts, your behaviors and your feelings.It is a means of communication between your conscious and subconscious minds to accept and believe the same message. During hypnosis, the body and mind are in a state of deep relaxation, while the subconscious mind remains awake, extremely focused and receptive to suggestions. Hypnosis is a natural process for the human mind to experience.

No one can be induced to do anything against his or her will. While under hypnosis a person will not spontaneously begin talking, or reveal any intimate secrets they would not share while in the waking state. The person is always in control. You’ll remember everything – everything that is said and everything that is experienced.Who can be hypnotized?
