Understanding your Conscious and Subconscious
The conscious and subconscious are not two minds, they are two spheres of activity within one mind. Your conscious mind is the reasoning mind, the one that chooses, for example; what you read, where you live, who you date. You make all your decisions with your conscious mind.
Without any conscious choice on your part, your subconscious keeps your heart functioning automatically, and your digestion, circulation, and breathing are done by your subconscious mind through processes independent of your conscious control.
Your subconscious mind accepts what is impressed upon it or what you consciously believe. It does not reason things out as your conscious mind does. Your subconscious mind is like a bed of soil that accepts any kind of seed, good or bad. Your thoughts are active; they are the seeds. Negative, destructive thoughts continue to work negatively in your subconscious mind. Sooner or later, they will emerge and take shape as an outer experience that corresponds to their content.
Everything perceived by the subconscious mind is seen through the lens of previous programming. Your subconscious mind does not engage in proving whether your thoughts are good or bad, true or false. Assuming that something is true, even though it may be false, your subconscious mind will accept it as true and proceed to bring about results that must necessarily follow because you consciously assumed it to be true.
Hypnosis is happening all the time without you even knowing it's happening. When your mind relaxes between the Alpha and Theta brain waves you can program new information and access old information you might not remember in day to day existence.
Everyone enters altered states naturally in the course of their everyday activities. You are in an altered brainwave state as you begin falling asleep, as you start to wake up, around 30 minutes into reading or watching tv, or when daydreaming and also when driving to a familiar location .
Throughout the hypnotic experience you are totally in control of yourself. You can speak, you can hear, you can move, and you can come back to your ordinary state of being whenever you wish. It is not possible to remain hypnotized any longer than you want to be.
During your sessions you will discover how strong your body-mind connection really is and create a better outcome for future life experiences.
What is the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis
Hypnosis includes verbal suggestions and thoughts. For instance, telling yourself in the altered state that you'll be calm and confident qualifies as self-hypnosis. Although hypnosis also uses images, it isn't limited to them. Some forms of hypnosis are more directive than guided imagery, which leans more on suggestion and invitation. Using hypnosis you can deliver an instruction to your subconscious such as "don't smoke," and for a time you will stop smoking. However, we're living beings motivated by needs. Bad habits are "bad" simply because they don't really meet the need they're trying to meet. You need to uncover the deeper need wanting to be met or core belief that is causing the "bad habit" which can be done with hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy combines the power of hypnosis and hypnotic suggestion with therapeutic understanding. Hypnotherapy helps you connect with your genuine need and design an effective strategy to fulfill that need.
During a hypnotherapy session the use of hypnosis, hypnotherapy, and guided imagery are all used to uncover, understand, repattern and heal the unmet need or painful issue, and create a better outcome.
Meditation & Guided Imagery
Meditation is a process that focuses on observing the mind, while guided imagery focuses on engaging the mind. Guided imagery meditations involve both the mind observation as well as the mind engagement. Both meditation and guided imagery share in common the practice of focused attention. They include the intentional quieting and settling of the body in order to receive the benefit of the practice.
You might also explore the imaginal realm and connect with the senses, creating a beautiful healing place, imagining a future successful endeavor, seeing oneself healing at a cellular, physical, or spiritual level, or connecting with an inner guide or spiritual being.
