There are many wonderful benefits of hypnotherapy and the state of hypnosis. Here are just a few:
- Access your unconscious mind
During hypnosis you are guided by the therapist into a state of “trance”, which is a gentle and naturally occurring state of deep internal focus. The analytical or conscious mind is quietened, and you are in a state of heightened suggestibility. This is a perfect state to introduce new ideas, beliefs and perspectives for change.
- Let go of old patterns
Due to the state of heightened suggestibility, it is easier for you to see and let go of old patterns from the past. Hypnosis is a state where deep healing is very possible if you are ready, open and correctly guided.
- Create new neural pathways
Because the subconscious mind cannot tell the difference between things that are happening in real life and in your imagination, hypnosis is a perfect state for visualisation and mental rehearsal. With repetition this creates new neural pathways, making behavioural change in real life easier.
- Connect with a higher version of yourself.
When you are deeply focused within, you have access to wisdom and insight which generally alludes you when your mind is cluttered and overactive.
- Deliberately relax your body and mind.
During hypnosis you practice deeply relaxing the body, and releasing attachments to intrusive thoughts. This is a valuable skill that improves with time and has ongoing health benefits.
