 The Phenomenon of Hypnosis

Hypnosis has been the subject of misunderstanding since its inception. It has been discredited and vilified by those who either misunderstood the concept or who were unable to induce trance in their clients (e.g. Freud). Hollywood has done little to improve the image of hypnosis, treating us to the clichéd 'swinging watch' induction a little too often. No wonder many people see hypnosis as some kind of new age mumbo jumbo that allows a person to take complete control over the mind of another to make them cluck like a chicken, rather than as a useful mind tool that can be used to improve lives exponentially!

Before we continue, I need you to pay close attention to what you are about to read:

Hypnosis cannot perform miracles, it cannot increase the size of a woman's breasts or cure cancer or do any of the other outrageous things that may be claimed by the proponents of some ridiculous scam.

What it can do, is to assist you with making major changes in your beliefs and behaviour which will impact on your life massively and allow you to achieve anything you have dreamed of. Let's use this example: Have you ever managed to acquire a new habit after weeks or months of strict focus and discipline? Perhaps you managed to start every day with a morning run and consistently did this for several weeks or months or even longer. How much less effort did it require to get up at 5 in the morning on the 7th week, compared to the 1st? It was much easier right? The reason for this is that the behaviour of rising early to perform your exercise session for the day became a habit!

Habits are what determine how your and my life will play out over the coming years. It will determine what position we are in financially, physically and emotionally. It will determine the state of our relationships, our environment and even how happy or unhappy we are! Whenever we repeat a behaviour regularly, brain pathways are formed that allow us to adapt and master the behavior to make it easier to perform. Because of this, our mind accepts the fact that the behaviour is a routine part of our day that has to be carried out and our resistance to performing the act reduces until it fades away completely. At this point, we act out our habits almost effortlessly, either in a positive way that improves our lives, or negatively by which we stagnate into a life of mediocrity and dissatisfaction.

Hypnosis is the single most useful and important tool for inculcating good habits and eradicating bad habits into our daily routine. Imagine if you had acquired the habit of saving 10% of your income from the first day you started working? What if you had made a lifelong commitment to exercising every day since the age of 18 and eating only foods that make you feel younger and stronger and fed your body and mind with the nutrients they needed? Do you think your life would be a million times better than it is right now? Would the fact that the results of your behaviour came from good habits detract from your achievement at all?

By using mind tools such as hypnosis, you can live the life you have always dreamed of, and achieve the goals you have set for yourself.

In the following sections, we are going to look at what hypnosis is, what hypnosis feels like, how hypnosis works and what it can do for you.
