Hypnosis
Myths!
Is hypnosis
dangerous?
Providing you do not use hypnosis
while driving, operating heavy machinery
etc. then hypnosis is perfectly safe. To
get the maximum benefits you should use
hypnosis in a relaxed and safe
environment where you will not be
disturbed.
Always use a qualified hypnotherapist
and you will get amazing results.

FAQs
What does
hypnosis feel like?
Hypnosis feels different with each
individual. For a lot of people it simply
feels like they were very relaxed with
their eyes closed, some people say they
felt weightlessness, while other people
say they felt heavy. Hypnosis has no
special feeling. You will hear every word
the hypnotist says and remember
everything.

FAQs
I don't know if I
can be hypnotized.
Anybody can be hypnotized. Hypnosis is
a perfectly natural state. We naturally
go into hypnosis many times a day. Also
the more intelligent you are the easier
you will find it to fall into a hypnotic
state.

I have been to a
Hypnotherapist before and I did not go
into a trance.
How do you know that?
People often feel they have not been
in hypnosis when in actual fact they
have. Hypnosis feels differently to
different people. Just because it only
felt like you lay there with your eyes
closed feeling relaxed does not mean you
did not go into hypnosis.
Back to
FAQs
I have used
hypnosis before and it did not fix my
problem.
There could be a number of
reasons:-
You may be right and you did not go
into trance. It is up to the
hypnotherapist to make sure he or she
uses a hypnosis induction method that is
suitable for you. Different inductions
work for different people. Any decent
hypnotherapist will make sure you are in
a trance before they carry on with their
work.
When making the necessary changes the
hypnotherpist did not get agreement from
the subconscious mind.

FAQs
What can hypnosis
help with?
Like EFT Hypnosis can help with all
manner of issues such as weight loss,
stop smoking, fears and phobias, trauma,
pain relief, anger management, bulimia
etc.
Back to
FAQs
I don't like the
feeling of not being in
control.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. During
hypnosis you are fully in control and you
can come out of it at anytime you wish.
The hypnotists does not hypnotize you,
you hypnotize yourself! The hypnotist is
there to guide you into hypnosis and then
help you with your problems once you are
in hypnosis. If for any reason you do not
wish to be hypnotized it would be
impossible for the hypnotist to hypnotize
you.
Back to
FAQs
But what about
stage hypnotists they control the people
on the stage don't they?
That is not true. The hypnotist is
only a guide. You have to get the people
on stage to cooperate. That does not mean
the audience are faking it though. If the
hypnotist tries to get a member of his
audience to do something against his or
her normal moral code, that member would
immediately wake up. For instance, if the
hypnotist asked an audience member to
shoot somebody or have sex on stage, they
would come out of the trance. It is
impossible for the
hypnotist to get you to do anything
against your will.

FAQs
I am still not
sure!
If hypnotists could really control
people they could just hypnotize
millionaires and get them to give them
all their money. If you could really
control people with hypnosis then the
likes of the KGB, MI5 and the CIA would
be using it and they don't. In the early
50's the Americans did major experiments
to see if they could use hypnotism to
control people and get them to do their
dirty work. They failed and gave up after
about 4 – 5 years of trying. I am
pretty sure other countries such as the
UK would have tried hypnosis experiments
as well.

FAQs
What is the
conscious mind?
The conscious mind is used for doing
things like reading, mathematics,
thinking, reaching conclusions, making
decisions, controlling deliberate
actions, remembering information such as
telephone numbers, dates etc. Our
conscious mind is able to think in a
variety of ways such as laterally,
literally, mathematically, critically,
rationally, artistically etc.
Back to
FAQs
What is the
subconscious mind?
The subconscious is also known as the
unconscious mind. The subconscious mind
remembers every single thing you have
seen, heard, touched, smelled, tasted or
done since the day you were born.
The subconscious mind is there to
protect us. It is the job of the
subconscious to remember things like fire
is hot and it hurts. Without our
subconscious mind we would keep on making
the same mistakes. The subconscious mind
is also responsible for keeping us
alive.
Our subconscious mind does our
automated tasks (the things we do without
consciously thinking about them) such as
walking, breathing, keeping the heart
beating, blinking, etc. The subconscious
mind is continuously doing many tasks at
once. If we had to think and remember to
do all these things on a conscious level
we would soon go crazy.
Unlike the conscious mind the
subconscious mind can only think
literally. It is because of this literal
thinking that our problems arise. Often
the reason why we have problems is
because our subconscious mind thinks it
is protecting us.
Our subconscious mind never sleeps.
The subconscious mind wakes you from
sleep in times of danger such as fire or
if there is an intruder in the house. If
you were asleep and your husband came
quietly into the room you would probably
stay asleep, but more often than not if
an intruder did come into the room your
subconscious would alert you and wake you
up.
While we sleep our subconscious mind
goes through everything we have done,
seen and heard that day. It decides which
bits of information are useful and which
aren't. The useful bits of information
are shared with the conscious mind. Any
information the subconscious decides is
useless or wants to protect us from, is
kept hidden in the subconscious. All our
suppressed painful memories are kept in
the subconscious mind. If the
subconscious is keeping information from
your conscious mind, it is usually
because it thinks it has a good reason
for doing so. The reason will normally be
a protective measure. This does not mean
that the reasons for doing so are correct
or useful for you.
It is also from the subconscious mind
that we derive our intuition from. Have
you ever met somebody for the first time
and got the feeling you do not like him
or her, but you do not know why? It is
coming from your subconscious. Your
subconscious picks up on things you
conscious mind does not. Your
subconscious mind recognises things like
the person's body language.

How does hypnosis
work?
Once you are hypnotized, the hypnotist
can talk directly to your subconscious
mind. In order for the hypnosis to work
you must get agreement from the
subconscious mind. If you make a
suggestion for a change to the
subconscious mind and it does not agree
with the suggestion, the changes you want
will not happen.
In any battle between the conscious
and subconscious mind the subconscious
always wins.
On a conscious level you may wish to
stop smoking or loose weight. If however
for some reason your subconscious mind
does not want to stop smoking or loose
weight then it is not going to happen. If
you try to diet you will fail because
your subconscious mind will sabotage the
attempt and force you to fail.
On a conscious level you would have no
idea this is happening or that this is
the reason why you cannot stick to say a
diet. Your subconscious mind may have
what it thinks is a valid reason for
keeping you fat. Again this does not mean
your subconscious mind's reasoning is
correct or valid.
By using EFT or hypnosis you can
correct any wrong thinking made by the
subconscious mind.

FAQs
Should I inform
my doctor?
That depends on what you are using
hypnosis for. While Hypnosis is perfectly
safe, you should inform your doctor or
healthcare professional if you are using
hypnotherapy to treat medical afflictions
like depression, asthma, weight loss
etc.
However if you are using hypnosis for
sports performance or a simple spider
phobia (arachnophobia) there is no real
need to inform your doctor.
When you inform your doctor please
give him/her this website address so
he/she can gain a better understanding of
hypnosis and EFT and its many faceted
benefits.

have mystical powers.
Hypnotherapists are human beings just
like you. The only difference is we have
spent a lot of money, time and effort
studying things like hypnotherapy, EFT
and NLP.

You are
unconscious during the hypnosis
session.

in a heightened state of suggestibility
and still aware of everything that is
happening around you.

people can be
hypnotized.

hypnotize somebody who does not want to
be hypnotized.

you.

always fully aware of everything that is
going on and you are always in full
control.

my secrets.
You would not tell the hypnotist
anything you would not say in your normal
waking state.

heart attack and die you would naturally
come out of the hypnosis by yourself.
