Unveiling the Truth! Does Hypnosis Really Work?

Okay, I know what most of you are probably thinking. ” That would be the day that I go to a hypnotist.” I get it, I truly do. I have been asked by so many people, “does hypnosis really work.” The answer is “absolutely.” That being said, for many people, hypnosis is the last resort. After trying everything and having nothing work hypnosis becomes a Hail Mary. Many of my clients have come to me and said, “I’ve tried everything else, what do I have to do lose”. The answer to that question is, nothing, you have nothing to lose and everything to gain. If that is how you feel, that is fine, I totally understand because I know when you leave you will be thinking, ” why did I wait so long to do this?”

Get ready to have your mind blown. Hypnosis can be used for absolutely anything and it works.

While in training I was able to meet my spirit guide, my inner child, get over my greatest fear and stop drinking Diet Coke. Diet Coke was huge for me as I was drinking two cans a day. I am happy to report now I do not drink it at all.

While hypnotizing my classmates I was able to help a person quit eating cookies, and another conquer their fear of driving. My proudest moment was helping a classmate get rid of the anger trapped inside her. There is nothing more powerful to watch than a person getting rid of all their anger. You can physically see them change as the anger dissipates and leaves their body. Hypnosis is truly one of the most powerful things I have ever witnessed. It can make the impossible, possible. A more comprehensive list would look be; smoking, weight loss, anxiety, stress, self-esteem and confidence, trauma, pain management, lingering emotional issues, changing experiences you had in the womb, meeting your inner guide and changing habits. While this is not a complete list it should give you a good idea of how powerful hypnosis is.

Hypnosis works by a Hypnotist taking you through guided meditation that enables change. The Hypnotist will put you in a trance-like state where they can connect with your subconscious mind. Before any hypnosis session, the hypnotist will do an intake with you to determine the issue that you are trying to fix. After completion of the intake, a script will be written to specifically address your problem. During hypnosis, you will still be alert and able to come out of hypnosis at any given time. Additionally, your brain will only accept suggestions in your own best interest. In other words, nobody can make you cluck like a chicken unless you want to.

The reason hypnosis works so well is because through it we can speak to your subconscious mind. “What does the subconscious mind have to do with it” you may be asking. The answer is, “everything”. Did you know “according to cognitive neuroscientists, we are conscious of only about 5 percent of our cognitive activity, so most of our decisions, actions, emotions, and behaviour depend on the 95 percent of brain activity that goes beyond our conscious awareness. What that means, is that for 95% of your day your brain is merely acting on auto-pilot. For example if you see a red light, you know that means to stop. When we are walking, talking, sleeping or eating it is your subconscious mind that is telling you what to do. I personally found this statistic to be mind -blowing. To be honest I had never really given any thought to the fact that I can walk and talk and cook without giving it any thought. These things just happen. It is crazy to think about how many things we do and think without any thought at all. Once we tell our subconscious mind something it believes it to be true. So, what are you telling your mind? I have to have bagels every day for breakfast? When I drink coffee I have to smoke a cigarette? When it rains my whole day is ruined? Think about all the power your subconscious mind has. Now just think how powerful it would be if we could change what your subconscious mind think and believes?

The answer to this question is totally up to you. If you want to stop eating cookies, we can tell your mind to stop wanting cookies. Think for a moment just how powerful this is. YOU have the power (with some well planted suggestions) to change any behaviour that is holding you back. The things that can be done through hypnosis are truly endless, you just have to truly want to change and be ready to embrace them. Now, don’t get me wrong – I am not saying that with one hypnosis session you can change countless years of behaviour. What I am saying, is that if you truly want to change, we can work together to make it happen.

If you haven’t already guessed, I could talk about hypnosis for days. While this article gives you some basic information I would welcome the opportunity to speak with you to see how it could benefit you. I promise I won’t talk for days!
