What is the Mystery of Hypnosis?

How much of our mind do we actually control and how much is controlled by others?

Our mind is influenced by everything which is going on around us and what happened to us in the past.

We do have a thought system which we can use to influence our future.

If we do not use it ourselves others will manipulate our thoughts and then our actions.

Generally it is understood that hypnosis is a trance state entered through a relaxation session and we then are open to suggestions. We are awake and conscious, not asleep. We are focussed on the event at hand and ideas suggested to us call be perceived as real.

Most of our inhibitions are tuned out and our day to day and immediate worries and concerns are forgotten as we enter a relaxed state.

However it is worth noting that we cannot be made to anything we do not want to do.

For the record Franz Mesmer years ago an early physician had the process of mesmerising named after him.

Our day to day thoughts are known to be part of our conscious mind and our major thoughts originate in our vast subconscious mind which controls all of our automatic actions, like heart beating and breathing. If we had to consciously think about these essential activities we would not last very long.

Imagination is believed to originate in the subconscious where your memories are stored and this is why when we are thinking and remembering we tend to stare into space as we switch off our conscious mind.

As we relax our brain frequency reduce from high to low waves.

To enter the trance state soothing music and voice are used which brings on the relaxation mode similar to meditation.

You are invited to relax arms legs and body and to focus on a weightless state.

Benefits obtained can be reversing habits and programing better behaviour.
