What is hypnosis suggestion/state shifting?

There I crossed it out. Hypnosis - I don’t like the word ( no offence to the late Mr Braid).

From the Greek ‘Hypnos’ - meaning ‘sleep’...it just doesn’t quite cut it.

‘Hypnosis’ is simply an attempted nomalisation of something that doesn’t exist in physical form and is fluid in nature. Something that we all experience and go through EVERY SINGLE DAY.

Case in point: you are driving home from work. You have just left the office and it’s Friday. You need to grab some more pasta for dinner on the way. It’s little Josh’s first football match of the season tomorrow and you need to make sure his kit is clean - on that note, there’s a tonne of laundry to do and you’ve got a birthday meal to go to tomorrow night and still haven’t got them a gift. You’ve also got to look over the new home insurance quotes on Sunday to make sure……you're home. All of a sudden…you are home. You can’t remember anything of the journey but you are sitting in your car on the driveway, you are home.

What happened?...’Hypnosis’, or my preferred description, a state shift.

Driving is a learned behaviour embedded in your subconscious through all that repetition. Your conscious mind or critical factor had nothing it actually needed to process in real time so it switched your focus to all your future to-dos and in doing so, it shifted your state and put you into a form of trance. Your subconscious, wanting to keep you alive, just carried on with what it knows, driving the car - completely in control.

What didn’t happen is that YOU WERE NOT ASLEEP (no hypnos).

Now to give you a bit of science.

We know that our brains emit brainwaves, we can measure them. We also know that these brainwaves change in frequency in response to stimuli throughout the day, which has a direct effect on our mental and physical state.

Beta - we are alert and fully conscious.

Alpha - we are daydreaming/ distracted by or focused on something ( light trance)

Theta - we are in deep thought/introspection/ meditation ( deeper trance)

Delta - we are asleep and completely unconscious.

So you see, in driving home you started somewhere in the Beta range, then your conscious mind became distracted with all the things you needed to do and put you in the Alpha range. Next thing you know you are back home and back in Beta.

Your mental and physical state were shifted, as they are naturally each and every day.

This is at the very core of what we know as hypnosis/hypnotherapy - this state shifting . The attention of the conscious mind is focused, changing our brainwave frequency, our ‘state’. We can then add, remove or change things in our subconscious control center through suggestion, to bring about the change we want.

Well - that’s the ‘what is it’ covered.

How's it done?...there a few key principles but for now lets just say we are really talking artistry here - limited only by the experience and skill of the change agent.

Using these principals (plus a few more) I have engineered a system, and my delivery of that system, to give you a process to hone your intuitive decision making ability. A system to enable you to achieve a breakthrough when all the information, the facts and data, just leave you stuck.
