What is hypnosis?

To me hypnosis is like a very deep meditation where the conscious mind is lulled into a state of complacency allowing suggestions to enter the subconscious mind. 

Hypnosis can be used to help many people with all different types of illnesses and personal issues.  For example, you might want to give up smoking, or you may have a fear or a phobia of spiders.  These are just a couple of the issues that can be helped by hypnosis.

 Hypnosis can also be used to recover early memories that are ‘locked’ into the subconscious mind.  These locked-in or repressed memories may be able to help in overcoming an underlying issue that happened to you as a child.  Maybe you have an issue that stems from a memory that is unclear in your conscious mind, but may be much more detailed in the subconscious memory, such as an event that you saw happening and now you cannot remember it very well; hypnosis can help to recover these memories and with appropriate counselling aid you to deal with the issues they have raised.

Linked with the above there is also Past Life Regression, that enables you to recover memories from a previous life or existence that you experienced before this present one.  Past life regression is a way for you to chart your spiritual pathways and may help you discover the spiritual path for this present lifetime which can help in explaining why we have been given the life experiences and feelings we have.  Or you may be afraid of water and this could come from a past life. 

Hypnosis is a very interesting subject and there is much to learn from it and much to learn about it.
