Hypnosis is defined as a deep state of relaxation in which the conscious mind is relaxed and quieted, allowing access to the unconscious mind. Once the unconscious mind is open to receive suggestions, hypnosis positively affects lives. With hypnosis, healthy change can occur instantly, health issues can be resolved, behaviors modified, unwanted habits released, pain managed, weight loss or control can occur, anxiety and stress can be reduced, and so much more. In hypnosis you are still aware and maintain self-control; you will not do anything against your will, morals or belief system.
The most important thing to remember with hypnosis is that you hypnotize yourself; the hypnotist is only the facilitator or co-pilot of your session. Therefore you can leave this relaxed state whenever you choose.
Hypnosis taps into the abilities of the unconscious mind, which does not have the ability to differentiate between fact and fiction. The individual's ability to accept or reject suggestions never leaves. If the suggestions are not accepted, the subconscious mind may activate the suggestions at a later time, as long as they are aligned to the client's belief.
