Answers to the most common frequently asked questions about hypnosis.
We understand that hypnosis can be a confusing subject - what it really is, how it works, how it feels. At Instant Hypnosis, we recognize this... which is why we've created this list of common questions and answers about hypnosis which may clear up some of the mystery for you. We hope you find it useful, however, if you have any questions which aren’t covered in this section, then please feel free to contact us by clicking here.
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis has been defined as a state of heightened suggestibility in which the subject is able to uncritically accept ideas for self-improvement and act on them appropriately.
Merriam-Webster Online defines hypnosis as:
"...a trancelike state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject."
When a hypnotist hypnotizes his subject, it is known as hetero-hypnosis. When an individual puts himself into a state of hypnosis, it is known as self-hypnosis.
Contrary to popular myth, hypnosis is completely safe and is one of the quickest and most exciting method to make positive, lasting changes to your thoughts, body and life.
How Does Hypnosis work?
Hypnosis works by altering our state of consciousness into a state of deep relaxation that our analytical left brain is turned off, while the non-analytical right brain is made more alert, allowing yourself or the hypnotherapist to provide suggestions directly to the subconscious mind.
Will Hypnosis Work For Me?
Absolutely 100% YES!
The fact that you want to try hypnosis is enough to diagnose that hypnosis WILL work for you. Hypnosis will only NOT work if the person doesn't want to be hypnotized.
As you may have realized, there are a lot of myths about hypnosis - such as hypnosis is a form of mind control, and that only a weak minded subject can be hypnotized. In fact, the reality is quite the opposite. Research has shown that intelligent people are actually easier to hypnotize, and that a weak minded person doesn’t have the capacity for concentration that is required for hypnosis.
The good news is that the more times you practice hypnosis, especially when using the Instant Hypnosis downloads with the depth-reinforcing suggestions, the more powerful each session becomes.
Dr. Charles E. Henderson of Hypnotica offers a great many hints on the practice of self hypnosis, compares it to learning how to play a musical instrument. He reminds us that like any skill, it requires frequent practice to get the most out of it.
So in brief... ANYONE can be hypnotized, and we guarantee you'll benefit from it.
What Does Hypnosis "Feel" Like?
The answer is that most people commonly associate a feeling of relaxation with hypnosis. Typically, during hypnosis, you'll feel immensely relaxed, very focussed or absorbed... just like a state of total tranquility!
What Can Hypnosis Do For Me?
You can use hypnosis to help you acquire healthy, useful habits such as form new beliefs, boost your self confidence, increase your memory, overcome phobias, beat insomnia, lose weight, lower your blood pressure, boost your immune system, accelerate healing, stop smoking... and a whole lot more!
Your mind creates your own reality.
Is Hypnosis Safe?
Absolutely. Hypnosis is no more dangerous than sleep-dreaming, meditation.
In fact, during hypnosis, you can still think logically but you also have access to your powerful subconscious mind so that you can update instinctive emotional and physical responses.
That said, unless you are willing to be hypnotized, unless your subconscious mind agrees with the suggestions – you CANNOT be hypnotized if you don't wish to be. And you DEFINITELY CANNOT be hypnotized to do anything against your will.
Can I Get Stuck In Hypnosis?
Not at all! You can’t be stuck in hypnosis any more than you could be stuck in a waking daydream. During hypnosis, you're just simply in a state of deep relaxation.
A good example would be that when you are being hypnotized listening to one of the hypnosis downloads and your MP3 player runs out of batteries. Two things would happen: either you would wake up realizing that your MP3 player has stopped playing or you would drift off to sleep, waking up later, feeling fine.
No one has ever been "stuck" in a state of permanent hypnosis!
Hypnosis is a totally safe, completely natural method of self-development... and can help you achieve goals you never thought possible!
How Often Do I Need To Listen To Each Hypnosis Session To Be Effective?
For some people, hypnosis can produce dramatic results in as little as one session. However, there are also others who find it hard to enter a state of creative relaxation on the first few attempts and may be dependant on the need to hear the message repeatedly before the changes are truly implemented at a deep level within the mind.
Hypnosis is about suggestion, the more you hear something, the more it penetrates. This is precisely why recorded self hypnosis sessions are so effective.
