About Hypnosis, Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) & the Subconscious Mind
Please note that due to health reasons Hypnotherapy & Hypno-Analyse will not be available till, hopefully late in 09.
Hypnosis is a very natural state & not about magic, control or anything mystical. It isn't a magic wand, nor a 'cure all' & requires dedication & commitment to make lasting, real subconscious changes.
A good example of a natural hypnotic state: have you ever driven somewhere or drank a cup of tea & not remembered the drive or the tea? Your subconscious mind does not need your conscious self to do something that is already deeply programmed into it. Your conscious mind can only hold a few pieces of information at any one time so control is held by the sub conscious, which is a good thing - imagine having to learn how to drive every day!
So visiting a Hypnotherapist simply means having that natural state of relaxation induced to create the desired outcome for personal change, acceptance, understanding, betterment & transformation of the self.
Neuro Linguistic Programming or NLP for short is quite new compared to Hypnosis which has been around for centuries. You can view NLP like an instruction manual for the mind. It is not a single piece of therapy, but rather many hundred different mind exercises which implement your own way of seeing things to create your own outcome. It helps to turn positive thoughts into positive realities, giving us the ability to run our own minds, rather than our minds running us. Placing NLP into a Hypnotic setting can create amazing changes & realisations.
Everything that we know, believe, experience, feel & express is stored within the subconscious mind, similar to files on a computer. Some good - some corrupt.
The subconscious can create illnesses, keep habits that destroy, stop you from getting what you desire as it's main job is to protect you via its pre-existing programming, if it believes that you need something, i.e. saving from failure as you will never amount to anything then it will make sure that it does its job. This is when we feel stuck, unable to make positive change & we feel that we cannot control our own minds as we are always propelled back to where we started. How many times have you tried to move forwards only to be held back by something within?
Hypnosis & NLP have many uses, utilised for used for many issues from relaxation & stress to helping you to create a more positive & confident outlook as well as helping you to gain more control over aspects of your life that you feel are holding you back. They give us the opportunity to go to the heart of deeply personal problems, even when those stumbling blocks are not even realised by the individual.

... those special mental commands which direct & control us, are called thoughts.
Every thought we think, every conscious of unconscious thought we say to ourselves, is translated into electrical impulses which, in turn, direct the control centers of the brain to electrically & chemically affect & control every motion, every feeling, every action we take, every moment of the the day.
Whatever "thoughts" you have programmed into yourself, or have allowed others to program into you, are affecting, directing, or controlling everything about you. From the day we were born, we have received a staggering amount of programming ... What You Say When You Talk to Yourself - Shad Helmstetter
