Hypnotherapy: changing your life through your subconscious mind
• Have you ever tried to change some behaviour through will-power only to end up stuck and frustrated?
• Have you ever tried to achieve your dreams and goals – only to end up disappointed?
• If so, your core negative beliefs may be holding you back. Advanced hypnosis get to the point of the problem and makes positive changes fast.
Change your life by changing core beliefs held in your subconscious mind!
The problem is like a weed in your garden!
Pretend for a moment, that your mind is like your lawn in the garden of your home. Even some of the best cared for gardens, if you look close enough, are going to have a couple of weeds! Weeds are interesting because they are so persistent. You see, most of the garden is made up of good green grass, shrubs, and flowers (the good things about yourself). The grass, shrubs and flowers have good roots, but the weeds roots go much deeper. That’s why if you try to remove a weed by cutting it off, or pulling it up and you don’t get all of its roots, it is most likely to just come back and sometimes bring more weeds (your personal challenges and symptoms).
Taking this example a little further, you could imagine a picture of the weed and divide it up into three distinct areas:
1. Root area: – Here is the area where the root is. This is equivalent to the subconscious mind, the part deep inside.
2. Ground Level: – Here is the area where the grass is. This is equivalent to the conscious mind, the part that is easy to see.
3. Leafy part: – Here is the part that sticks up into the air for yourself and everyone else to see, the weed, the part of yourself that you don’t like.
The part we don’t like may be a bad habit like biting your finger nails, or something more serious like smoking, a phobia, stress or eating issues etc.
By using Advanced Hypnotherapy we help our clients remove the problem at the root.
When the root is removed, then the problem ceases to exist!

Here are some More on Myths About Hypnosis or Hypnotherapy
People often fear that being hypnotised will make them lose control, surrender their will, and result in their being dominated, but a hypnotic state is not the same thing as gullibility or weakness. Many people base their assumptions about hypnotism on stage acts but fail to take into account that stage hypnotherapists screen very carefully their volunteers to select only those who are fully cooperative, with probable exhibitionist tendencies.
. Stage acts help create a myth about hypnosis which can sometimes discourages people from seeking legitimate and successful hypnotherapy.
Another myth about hypnosis is that people lose consciousness and have amnesia. A small percentage of subjects, who go into very deep levels of trance will fit this stereotype and have spontaneous amnesia. The vast majority of people remember everything that occurs in hypnosis. This is beneficial, because the most of what we want to accomplish in advanced hypnosis may be done in a medium depth trance, where people will tend to remember everything.
In hypnosis, the patient is not under the control of the hypnotherapist. Hypnosis is not something imposed on people, but something they do for themselves. A hypnotherapist simply serves as a facilitator to guide them.
Advanced Hypnotherapy does not utilise deep hypnosis.

Uses of Hypnosis in Medicine and Psychotherapy
• Gastrointestinal Disorders (Ulcers, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, Colitis, Crohn’s Disease)
• Dermatologic Disorders (Eczema, Herpes, Neurodermatitis, Pruritus [itching], Psoriasis, Warts)
• Surgery/Anesthesiology (In unusual circumstances, hypnosis has been used as the sole anaesthetic for surgery, including the removal of the gall bladder, amputation,
cesarean section, and hysterectomy. Reasons for using hypnosis as the sole anaesthetic may include: situations where chemical anaesthesia is contraindicated because of allergies or hyper-sensitivities; when organic problems increase the risk of using chemoanesthesia; and in some conditions where it is ideal for the patient to be able to respond to questions or
directives from the surgeon)
• Pain (back pain, cancer pain, dental anaesthesia, headaches and migraines, arthritis or rheumatism)
• Burns: Hypnosis is not only effective for the pain, but when hypnotic anaesthesia and feelings of coolness are created in the first few hours after a significant burn, it appears that it
also reduces inflammation and promotes healing. We believe that a second degree burn can often be kept from going third degree if hypnosis is used soon after the injury.
• Nausea and Vomiting associated with chemotherapy and pregnancy (hyperemisis gravidarum)
• Childbirth: Based upon our members’ anecdotal evidence, approximately two thirds of women have been found capable of using hypnosis as the sole analgesic for labour. This eliminates the risks that medications can pose to both the mother and child.
• Hemophilia: Hemophilia patients can often be taught to use self-hypnosis to control vascular flow and keep from requiring a blood transfusion.
Other areas of successful application include: Allergies; anxiety and stress management; asthma; bed-wetting; depression; sports and athletic performance; smoking cessation; obesity and weight control; sleep disorders; high blood pressure; sexual dysfunctions; concentration, test anxiety and learning disorders.

Another Definition of Hypnosis
“Hypnosis is a state wherein the subconscious and conscious parts of the mind begin to work on the same concept at the same time without conflict.”
We can enlarge upon the idea as follows:
“Normally, the subconscious and conscious parts of the mind work independently from each other. Conscious wishes and thoughts, which are for the moment of now and which are probably responsible for what we might consider to be our human-ness, may easily be at odds with subconscious processes based on forgotten experience and deep-rooted instinct. As a result, the two parts will often be in conflict, and the more able we are to bring them into alignment, the more powerful the resultant state will be. This is why the strongest minds do it best. The hypnotherapist can only show the client how to do it – it is the client who must actually perform the task.
It’s a bit like a series of square and round pegs of one part locating with a series of square and round holes in the other part, allowing the two to lock together and work in unison. This connection allows a fluid interchange of thoughts, ideas and information in both directions – from the conscious mind into the subconscious, so that we can help beneficial change to occur; and from the subconscious to the conscious, so that we might be able to more easily recall things that are relevant to our state at the time, or find a way to resolve any conflict that may be made suddenly visible.
Of course, you cannot feel hypnosis, because both parts of the mind are still only doing the things they normally do – it’s just that now they’re both doing the same thing at the same time. You are still aware of the conscious thoughts, but you will always remain unaware of the subconscious processes. So it feels the same as normal.”
Looked at in this way, it is possible to recognise that an induction does nothing more than present a series of ideas to both conscious and subconscious that will focus the interest of both in the same way and at the same time – that is, without stimulating conflict yet without boredom allowing a drift of conscious concentration.
