Succinctly hypnosis is the concentration and focusing of attention to manifest a desired result.
Desired results could be relaxation, healing or creating powerful motivations.
Hypnosis in more depth
Hypnosis or trance is a very common occurrence. We live our lives in one trance or another. Commonly these are the times when our attention is focused on something. Examples of this are the infamous driving trance. You get in the car and drive. You drive from A to C but has little or no memory of the journey in between. This is commonly known as the ‘The Driving Trance’
One of the best example of trance is children or adults playing and having fun, those times when we are totally engrossed in experience and are NOT analysing or second guessing what we do.
Another example is watching the TV or a film that is totally engrossing. Someone can talk to you and you don’t consciously hear it, all your attention is on what you are watching.
Think on this; as you read this sentence you absolutely do not, process each letter or often even each word in a conscious way, you simply understand and process, unconsciously, and you get the complete meaning of the sentence.
Trance is like that. There is deep understanding but the individual elements are understood outside of conscious awareness. You get the whole meaning.
Trance is like a meditative state, where new learnings and realities become possible. Trance gets our conscious mind out of the way and opens up new possibilities and experiences.
Trance is a completely natural phenomenon
Surprise! We all do all of this trance stuff naturally, its like day dreaming, its like getting in touch with your soul, its like those so called and elusive moments of clarity you occasionally have in every day life.
The real skill of a hypnotist, a trance engineer if you will, is to create the experiences where ‘normality’ breaks down, to create a sort of waking dream that changes lives in a very positive way.
And the best thing about this way of thinking, being and doing is…
IT IS COMPLETELY LEARNABLE.
Anyone, you included, can learn to do this.
You certainly can learn through books and videos but there is nothing that compares to real training from experienced and competent professionals.
But beware, the reality is hypnosis or trance is not a magical answer to life’s problems and aspirations. Sorry but this is the truth. Hypnosis and snake oil do not mix well.
It is a very real way of actualising what you really want out of life. Yet it usually wont happen overnight. It takes just a little time, a natural progression.
Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness, it is a very simple way of getting on better with yourself and others, but most, and most importantly of all, it is something you control and make happen yourself.
