Hypnosis: tap into your inner power and
change your life

by Priscilla Broussard

Hypnosis.  Just say the word and visions of moustache-sporting, pocket-watch swinging gentlemen spring to mind.  These are often joined by visions of grown men dancing like ballerinas, clucking like chickens, and generally acting silly.  Modern day hypnotherapy is much more than the stage hypnosis seen in movies and TV talk shows.  

What exactly is hypnosis?  Good question!  Even the “experts” offer many different definitions.  What they do agree on is, hypnosis is a 100% natural state of mind which every one of us enters daily.  (7 to 12 times per day is the average.)  Think you haven’t been hypnotized?  Think again.  If you’ve ever driven right past your exit on the highway, you’ve been in a trance.  If you’ve ever pulled up in your driveway with no recollection or driving the last few miles home, you’ve been in a trance.  If you’ve ever been aware that you were dreaming, just on the verge of waking up, and felt unwilling to open your eyes and start your day, you’ve been in a trance.  Hypnosis is a tremendously powerful state of mind.  During a hypnotic trance, you are at least twenty times more open to positive suggestions than you are during normal waking consciousness.   

What can hypnotherapy help with?  In a word, everything.  Whatever is going on in your life, whether it’s a challenge with another person, with cigarettes, with food, or with motivation, it all starts right up there between your ears, with your thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes.  Most of us pick up our “programs” for dealing with the world when we’re quite young… generally before age 7, before we’ve developed the ability to evaluate what we see and hear around us for ourselves.  So if you sat in your high chair and heard, “You have to eat everything on your plate to be good,” there’s a good chance that you’re still running on an old “program” that says leaving food on your plate is “bad.”    

Through the powerful, natural state of hypnosis, you can access and evaluate old “programs.”  Once you identify them, you can choose whether you’d like to keep them, or delete them and adopt new programs.  During the super-receptive state of trance, things you already know logically can sink deep into the subconscious mind and effect permanent, lasting change.
