Hypnosis is a most natural and comforting state synonymous with deep relaxation.   As an ancient art of healing, it was almost certainly practised by the Ancient Greeks and Romans, there being much evidence to suggest its actual historical use as far back as two and a half thousand years ago.   Derived from the Greek word for sleep  - “hypnos” -  everyone briefly experiences the very same state of hypnosis during that natural intermediate state between being awake and asleep. In this profound state of rest, one has a greater sense of awareness  -  access to your memory is enhanced so that long lost events can be recalled.   It becomes easier to accept suggestions which are beneficial and therapeutic specifically for you.

Manipulation or being controlled  -  doing anything against one’s will  -  is absolutely not possible since one remains fully conscious throughout the process.   It is fortunate that, nowadays, there is wider interest together with greater research into and media coverage of therapies in general.   In particular the growing regard and respect of hypnosis as a genuine therapeutic tool is definitely and steadily overcoming the general public’s old impressions  -  no doubt obtained by hearing of or seeing stage hypnotists apparently mesmerising innocent and normally passive audience ‘volunteers’ into performing all manner of childish or degrading antics.   Still, people do have doubts that they may be dominated while ‘under hypnosis’ but nothing could be further from the truth.

‘Conscious hypnosis’ is indeed a much more appropriate description of this natural experience of relaxation that is the basis of this therapy.   In fact, this technique is used more and more within orthodox medical practices for effective relief and therapeutic control of pain, stress and depression as genuine alternatives to drugs and anaesthetics.   Hypnosis is induced through the voice of the therapist and by voluntarily following suggestions given by the therapist.   Typically one experiences a state of deep physical relaxation and with one’s mental faculties such as memory, concentration and awareness naturally enhanced.   As a tool for you to work with your mind, hypnosis is peerless.
