Hypnosis, What it is and isnt
By Veronica G. Hartman

Hypnosis..........what is this mysterious, mystical process that promises results to problems which seem to have no solution. It is elusive in nature as it is the tool that works with the unconscious realms of the mind which produces behavior. The field of neuro linguistic programming defines hypnosis as that magical mystical state when the client listens only to the hypnotist. From a healthcare standpoint hypnosis is an approved method of treatment by the American Medical Association when utilized by a skilled practitioner.
There are many utilizations of hypnosis. Stage hypnotists use it overtly to impress the power of the unconscious mind to perform as directed. An example being that under hypnosis, you will cluck like a chicken or perform other behavior that you would not normally. While that is possible, it is only possible if your unconscious mind is open to the possibility of clucking like a chicken upon command.......... Hypnosis used in a therapeutic context consists of assisting clients to achieve career success, enhance self esteem, manage pain, relieve stress and change undesired behaviors. The list goes on and on, so you begin to get the picture that hypnosis is a tool to get the results you want in life.
In fact hypnosis is widely used for habits such as stop smoking and weight reduction. Recent studies have been done on weight reduction indicating that hypnosis is the means to release weight and successfully keep it off. So it would seem that hypnosis is a magical tool that takes care of lifes habits and behaviors when used appropriately.
Oddly enough one of the misconceptions of hypnosis is that the client isnt required to participate other than to be present. In fact, the key ingredient that determines the success of hypnosis to achieve results is the willingness to change. Another common delusion is that one must be comatose or in a similar state of unconsciousness to be hypnotized. Amazing that the phrase unconscious mind somehow translates to being U N C O N S C I O U S. Whereas in reality, a light state of trance will yield profound results. There is a further conception that not everyone can be hypnotized and the fact is that you can only be hypnotized if you can follow directions. Thats right, just gently allow your eyes to close..................
For the profound results that can result from a hypnosis session, arent you just a little curious to investigate the realms of your unconscious mind or to at least become conscious of it......... thats right... bring your unconscious mind with the rest of you and trust that the results you are seeking, to achieve the life you desire and deserve are within you...............
