What is Hypnosis and how does it work?

In terms of hypnosis, there are 3 parts to our minds: the conscious mind, the subconscious (or unconscious) mind and the critical faculty.

The conscious mind is responsible for:

• Short term memory
• Rationalising and analysing ( E.g I deserve that chocolate bar I just did a 5km run. )
• Willpower ( This is weak compared to our imaginations which lies in our subconscious. )

The subconscious mind is responsible for:

• Self protection ( Encourages behaviours that it believes are of benefit to you, even if you don’t agree. )
• Autonomic bodily processes ( E.g breathing, heart beating. )
• Imagination ( This wins over willpower when the two fight. )
• Long term memory ( All our memories are held here, though some are easier to access than others. )
• Emotions

The critical faculty is responsible for:

• Guarding your subconscious mind from the conscious minds attempts to alter current behaviours and thoughts.
• Deciding whether to reject or accept thoughts and the things we hear. Are they in line with what the subconscious believes to be true?

The subconscious mind always acts with positive intention even if it may not appear that way. Over time we have trained our subconscious mind to believe that the thoughts, actions and emotions we exhibit are beneficial to us so it does it all it can to continue them. Your critical factor is the subconscious minds personal border control guard rejecting or accepting thoughts that fit with our way of being.

And what about hypnosis?

When you are in hypnosis the critical faculty is  bypassed, allowing access to the subconscious mind. This is when the subconscious can take on new suggestions that line up with what you consciously want. This changes to your subconscious mind  impact the way it acts affecting the way you behave, think and feel. This alters your behaviours, emotions, actions and thoughts and allows you to take control and achieve your goals. The power of your mind is phenomenal and you have all you need within you already. It’s all there and ready to be accessed and used.
