Dear friend,
What images come to your mind when you think of the word HYPNOSIS?
Do you think of some strange looking guy wearing a cape, waving a watch at you with crazy eyes?
Not any more. Now more then ever, hypnosis is being accepted worldwide as an effective method for creating permanent and powerful change.
SO WHY ARE MORE PEOPLE TURNING TO HYPNOSIS?
People are turning to hypnosis because it is so effective in changing lives. Hypnosis has been accepted by the American Medical Association since 1958 and a recent study by Alfred Barrios PhD, showed these statistics about the usefulness of hypnosis as compared with conventional techniques:
- Psychoanalysis 35% recovery after 600 sessions
- Behavior Therapy 72% recovery after 22 sessions
- Hypnotherapy 93% recovery after 6 sessions
What makes hypnosis such a powerful modality for change? The answer to this question is simple: Hypnosis words directly with the sub-conscious mind.
“Hypnosis is the shortcut” – Sigmund Freud
The subconscious mind works a lot like the hard drive on a computer. Everything that you have ever experienced in your life has been stored in your mind. These individual memories being stored are called Impressions. Our entire reality is based on the accumulation of these impressions throughout our life.
These impressions make up our belief system, our philosophies on life and they serve as filters that we see the world through because we take all of these life experiences and WE HAVE TO INTERPRET THEM.
Hypnosis is a way of addressing the interpretations of these impressions, in order to show the individual that they have more options in their life. An effective hypnotic operator will always use hypnosis as a means of expanding a person’s reality and never taking away any options because every option is useful in some context.
Hypnosis has been around as a way to transform lives quickly and easily since the ancient Egyptian times. However, due to a lot of bad publicity from movies, hypnosis has been used for mostly entertainment for the past 50 years. There have been massive strides taken in the practice of hypnosis since it was accepted by the AMA in 58, and with all the revolutionary progress that has been made, it is now possible for a hypnotist to naturally coach their clients through problems ranging from smoking cessation and weight loss, to surgery and depression.

I hope that this opens your eyes to the possibilities that are inside you and maybe you’ll feel compelled to find out what those changes might mean for you in your life.
