Jade Lotus Hypnotherapy and Wellness

Hypnosis, or trance is a highly receptive state of consciousness brought about through focused attention. ​It's actually naturally occurring and something that we enter into frequently without even realising. We go in and out of trance many times throughout the day such as, when we are engrossed in a good book or watching television, walking, running, or driving a regular route, etc.​

​

However, as we are all unique, hypnosis can be a different experience for each individual - some people may feel heavy and deeply relaxed; while others may feel really light and floaty. The common experience is that it is extremely enjoyable and feels pretty much like daydreaming or the feeling just before you drift off to sleep or just before you wake up. You will not actually be asleep and will remain aware - hearing and absorbing everything that is said to you.

​

Once hypnosis has been induced, the conscious (analytical) mind can relax and 'take a break', allowing us access to the phenomenal powerhouse that is your subconscious mind. Estimated at around 20 million times more powerful than the conscious mind; the subconscious mind processes 95% of our life's activities and is where habits, thoughts, feelings and behaviours are stored. In trance, your subconscious mind becomes highly responsive and assumes responsibility for receiving and accepting positive suggestions, ideas and concepts for the lifestyle changes that you want to make in order to achieve your goals.

​

Basically, the hypnotherapeutic goal aims to rebalance the subconscious and conscious mind allowing them to work together in harmony, which gives you greater control over your behaviour, emotions and wellbeing.

​​​​​We do just need to dispel one common myth though, and that is - hypnotherapy isn't magic - it's actually science! Many people believe that hypnotherapy is something that is 'done' to them, that they explain their issue to the hypnotist who then magically hypnotises their problem away. In truth, the change happens because you want it to and because you are prepared to take the necessary steps to allow it to happen. While we do have excellent hypnotherapy skills and experience, we don't have special magic powers to 'make' you do anything you don't already want to do for yourself. Also, our subconscious mind loves repetition, which is why we highly recommend listening repeatedly to your completely bespoke hypnotherapy recording.
