Hypnosis is not really as mysterious as some people think. We all go into a state of trance before we fall asleep-that state where we are not quite asleep nor are we awake. It is in this state that our unconscious is most receptive to a message (or induction) involving change. This change can become healthier or to have increased self-esteem. Therefore, hypnotic inductions are often for the following:
* Weight Loss
* Smoking Cessation
* Reducing Anxiety
If the unconscious accepts a message, the cognitive mind will follow suit. Hypnosis is a natural process that can facilitate making positive changes easier. Hypnosis is not dangerous, nor will a person do something against their will. (These are common myths)
