HYPNOSIS

MOST FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS Will I be aware of what is going on? Can you make me do things I do not want to? Is that like what Paul McKenna does on TV? You can be aware of everything at all times unless YOU choose not to be. No. You cannot be made to do anything that you would not choose to do. I use Hypnosis purely for Healing not for entertainment.

There is a part of your brain that is never used and there is a part of your brain that is only used for things that you do not have to think about. That part of your brain remembers many things like how to blink & breath without you being aware that those thoughts are taking place. This is the part of your brain that gets you to your destination without you consciously remembering every aspect of your journey.

It is the part of you that holds so many pieces of information, on the patterns of your life. Sometimes the patterns of your life need to be updated so that you can function more smoothly. Hypnosis is so helpful for this, as it is the fastest way to access that part of your brain which holds all those resources. When you access your resources you can gain insights, on how to change behaviours such as smoking, panic attacks, fear of spiders and create new ways to enhance your life.

Another positive use for hypnosis is to experience a Past life regression. Memories are an intricate part of you and are held deep within your very being shaping the way you are today. Many memories stem from life experiences, which may well, be long forgotten but not lost to you, they are held in a certain part of your brain. By finding the memory relating to your current situation you can come to understand yourself and grow beyond your limitations. You may feel nervous when considering a past life regression but with caring guidance from Maria you will find it to be a very positive experience, enabling you to shape your future in a new light.

Sadly the use of Hypnosis as a healing tool is a highly misunderstood practice. When you ask most people what they think hypnosis is, their answer strongly resembles the images seen in a late-night horror movie or a Paul McKenna type Television Show. They have a vision of the hypnotist staring intently into a persons eyes, forcing that person to do things against their will. Or they have the misconception that a hypnotist will put them in a sleep like trance where they have no control and no memory of it later.

Even religions recognise the usefulness of hypnosis when used for helpful healing purposes. In 1847, the Roman Catholic Church issued a decree that stated, in part, “Having removed all misconceptions, … the use of hypnosis is indeed merely an act of making use of physical media, and is not morally forbidden, provided that it does not tend towards an illicit end.”

Now, in the twenty-first century, hypnosis is more widely used by those in the healing professions, such as doctors, dentists, psychologists, chaplains, pastors and social workers. There is even a hypnotherapy organization exclusively for members of the clergy. During a session of hypnosis you are in control at all times. When you are in a hypnotic state, no matter how deep, and given a suggestion that would be against your will, morals or beliefs, you would do one of three things. You would either, reject the suggestion by ignoring it completely and let it go or you would object very strongly putting the hypnotist in their place or come completely out of the hypnotic state and directly challenge your hypnotist.

I have explained a little of what hypnosis is and how it works and I hope that it helps you understand it better, removing any misconceptions you may have had about this beneficial tool.
