http://positivetranceformations.com.au/hypnotherapy-brisbane Hypnosis is really a natural, relaxed yet focused frame of mind that creates an access to the powerful resources of a persons subconscious. Hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to create beneficial helpful results for individuals.
2. It’s not widely known by the general public,
but it’s something that all profession
hypnotherapists (and probably some stage
hypnotists, too) know.
3. Some people are more responsive to
hypnotic suggestions than others, and this
can affect how effective hypnosis can be
for helping with various conditions.
6. Basically, a hypnotic suggestion is an idea,
image or phrase that is planted in the mind
of the client by the therapist.
7. This suggestion is planted after the trance
has been induced in the client and works
at the level of the subconscious – the
deepest level of the psyche about which we
are barely aware (that’s why it’s called the
subconscious – it’s below the level of
normal consciousness).

9. Hypnotic susceptibility is a measure of how
easily a person can be put into a hypnotic
trance and hence how easily they will
receive hypnotic suggestions.
10. Nobody can be hypnotised against his or
her will – a discovery that allayed many
fears that were rampant in the pioneering
days of hypnotism.
11. The depth of trance that a person enters is
a good indication of how susceptible they
are to hypnosis and hypnotic suggestions –
the deeper they go into trance, the more
susceptible they are.
12.
13. A hypnotic trance can be induced in a
number of ways, and they all share a
superficial similarity to methods used
throughout the centuries by shamans,
yogis and the like, and has many things in
common with the techniques of
transcendental meditation.
14.
15. In fact, many of the early workers in the
field of hypnosis combed ancient texts from
India to discover the methods used by the
yogis and developed these into a system of
inducing a hypnotic trance.
16. Features of trance induction that are very
similar to the methods used by
transcendental meditation include
concentration on a fixed point or object,
17. physical relaxation (unlike the sort of
meditation that is used in combination with
yoga, you don’t have to get into the lotus
position to enter a hypnotic trance) and
concentration on a single phrase
18. in the case of hypnotherapy, the therapist
will speak the phrase to be concentrated
on, while transcendental meditation
involves the use of mantras.
19. Once the trance has been induced, a
patient’s level of susceptibility can be
measured.
