Frequently
Asked Questions
What
is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis
is an altered state of consciousness, which feels like something
between sleeping and waking, and has qualities of both these states.
One
is fully conscious of everything that is going on and, contrary to
what you may have heard, is in complete control. Hypnosis is a safe
and natural way to help yourself achieve your true potential in all
aspects of your life.
Can
anyone be hypnotised?
Yes.
In fact, most people experience hypnosis several times a day.
Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis. Also, the state experienced
directly on entering and leaving sleep is hypnosis.
What
does hypnosis feel like?
Because
hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, or awareness, at no
time will you be asleep or unaware of what is going on. You will,
however, be likely to feel more relaxed than ever before. A feeling
of peace, serenity and wellbeing generally accompany this relaxation.
Can
I be made to do something against my will ?
Absolutely
not! There is a safeguard in hypnosis. Anything suggested to you in
hypnosis that is against your morals, beliefs, religion, ethics,
wants or desires will simply be rejected by you. It is impossible for
you to be made to to do anything against your will.
Am
I giving up control during Hypnosis?
No!
You will be in such complete control during the entire session that
if anything is said or done that you disagree with, or that you feel
is in bad taste, you can simply open your eyes and leave the room. No
one can control your mind, except you.
Can
only 'weak-minded' people be hypnotised?
On
the contrary, while everybody can be hypnotised, those that respond
better are people with strong and active minds capable of imagination
and mental dexterity. Those that refuse to be hypnotised, generally
are exhibiting either a lack of understanding of the subject
entirely, or 'weakness' in the form of inflexibility.
Are
there harmful after effects?
Again,
no. There is not one case on record of anyone being harmed because
of, or through, hypnosis. After the session, most people feel relaxed
and mellow but in complete control of all of their faculties and able
to perform any task or duty such as driving or working. Most people
experience a very pleasant energy increase after the session.
