What is Hypnosis?
For those people who are seeking hypnosis and are a little apprehensive, below I have outlined exactly what hypnosis is, and hopefully can dispel a lot of myths.. There are many misconceptions about hypnosis and the way a hypnotist works, so the best way to begin is to tell you what hypnosis is not...
Hypnosis is not... being rendered unconscious (A hypnotist does not send his subject to "sleep" so that they lose consciousness)
Hypnosis is not... being subjected to another's will (A clinical hypnotist does not force his will on his clients)
Hypnosis is not... Sleep
Hypnosis is not... Dangerous
Hypnosis is not... Occult, paranormal, black magic, spiritism, etc. etc. (A hypnotist is just like any other regular person and does not use the paranormal)
Hypnosis is...
An altered state of consciousness that enables the subject to replace negative thoughts and behaviour patterns with positive ones. It is also a 'tool' to enable a subject to recover lost (repressed) memories that are causing unwanted conditions in life.
What can hypnosis be used for?
Hypnosis can be used for habit control: To help stop smoking (more); stop overeating (more); nail-biting and many other unwanted habits. Also...
- Hypnosis is an effective tool for stress management.
- Hypnosis helps with phobias, fears, nervous asthma, sexual problems, relationship problems, blushing, examination nerves, learning difficulties, business stress, grief, fear of flying, spiders, snakes, sports performance.
- Hypnosis helps improve salesmanship, and so on, and so on...
Hypnosis is a powerful process to help increase motivation and really powerful way to help develop many skills, and increase general confidence. Also techniques of hypnosis are taught to those who wish to enhance self-awareness and inner development.
Stress
Many people these days suffer from stress-related problems, so many people can benefit from hypnosis and or meditation. There is very little difference between hypnosis, self-hypnosis or meditation. You cam learn these skills by the use of my cassette tape/CD recordings or by reading my article, Why Meditate? If you have further questions please
For those who are interested in practising self hypnosis, an excellent guidance system is by the cassette tape/CD service. I have developed a large range of cassette tapes/CD or will make a hypnosis cassette/CD especially to cater to individual needs. Also a client can receive back-up interaction and advice with me by e mail. Cassette tapes/CDs are useful for people who are unable to see a hypnotherapist for any reason and can be used for help to quit smoking, lose weight, reduce worry and stress, gain confidence, gain motivation/enthusiasm, improve concentration and more.

It is through books that many people start to make a difference in their lives and I fully believe in the power of the written word to help focus the mind and transcend negativity.
However, in pursuing self-development and self-esteem, the types of books that are needed to be read are those that will give you much more than just intellectual information and knowledge. They are...
- The type of books that will inspire you to take action
- The type of books to inspire you to DO WHATEVER IT TAKES in your day-to-day life
- The type of books to improve the quality of your life,
- The type of books to inspire you to MAKE A DIFFERENCE.
Because that is what we as human beings aspire to. We really want to make a difference in some aspect or another. Ask yourself, "where do I want to make a difference?" or "where do I need to make a difference?"
It is no good reading a book and merely saying to yourself, "that sounds like a good idea" and then doing nothing. You will need to commit to act on the principles and instructions/advice for a long enough period of time to see whether or not that particular book works for you. Then, if it doesn't, move on, book an appointment with or talk to or e-mail a hypnotherapist to discover if hypnotherapy is something that's going to work for you.
On Line Help
I have discovered in my experience with my Internet clients on line, (which has been for approximately 10-12 years), that it is indeed very possible to help people using a combination of guided meditation CDs,or MP3s and e-mail consultations, and make a big difference in their lives. As you may already realise, I am a Zen practitioner and this strongly influences my approach to clients.
In Zen, it is said, when the student is ready, the master will appear. The "master" comes to give vital information at the right time. The master can come not only in the form of a person, but a book, life situation, internet page or article or something else. Then, once the "lesson" is learned, the student can discard that particular master, and choose to move on to the next. I say "choose" because as human beings we always have a choice, a free will about whether we continue to grow or stand still. And sometimes we may need to stand still and take stock of where we have come from and where we are going.
