Hypnosis

The Conscious and Subconscious Mind

The mind is comprised of two parts: the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind, which uses only 10% of our potential, is where we analyze, think, process and plan. This is where our short-term memory is housed. The other 90% is the subconscious mind, where all the memories are stored. Everything you have ever experienced is recorded in the subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the place of long-term memory, emotions and feelings, habit patterns, relationship patterns, addictions, creativity, spiritual connections and intuition.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnotic trance is the simple shifting back and forth between the conscious and subconscious mind. This is a natural process that occurs 80% of every day for most people. Hypnosis works by using this natural state of the mind to access the subconscious mind, where a deeper state of consciousness can resolve many internal conflicts, fears and phobias.

What is the difference between Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy?

Hypnosis consists of the therapists giving suggestions to the client while in a trance state. Hypnotherapy works by resolving inner conflicts and dissolving inner trauma to emerge as a transformed person.

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy

How Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy Works

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy, or regression therapy, is a form of psychotherapy in which you are placed in a hypnotic, altered state of consciousness. This process can allow for deep healing to take place because of the energetic or emotional release and the level of insight that can be attained.

Benefits of Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy

Heart-Centered Hypnotherapy allows you to get in touch with your core issues more rapidly than conventional talk therapy because we go directly to the source: the subconscious part of the mind. It helps to purge the body of pain, sadness, old anger, grief or any negative feelings you may be holding onto and would like to get rid of. It leaves you feeling lighter and freer. It helps you to open your heart to yourself and approach your difficulties from a place of love and self-acceptance.

Myths & Misconceptions about Hypnotherapy

Most of us are familiar with the theatrical hypnotists who make you cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog, among other silly things. This gives people the wrong impression and causes you to believe that hypnotists control your mind. This is absolutely untrue. Under hypnosis, you are in a heightened state of concentration and relaxation. You will not do or say anything that is against your morals or character. You cannot be talked into doing anything against your will.
