what is spiritual hypnotherapy?

​Our subconscious mind is often compared to as a computer hard drive where all of our memories, habits and feelings are stored. Hypnotherapy is used to lead a person into a deep guided state of relaxation, also known as trance which enables a persons subconscious to be more open to suggestions, ideas and goals. This particular type of therapy is able to help people break habits such as smoking or over eating. It can also help with panic attacks, anxiety and depression.

​The science behind Hypnotherapy has been documented since the 18th Century, before that it was put down to magic and sorcery which is most certainly is not.  It is very much like guided meditation where you are coaxed by the Hypnotherapist into a deep relaxation state.  It is at this point where your subconscious is wide open to new ideas and suggestions. It is almost like doing a bit of re wiring to get things booted up and working again.

​Our sub-conscious takes up the majority of our brain and it is where all of our emotions, feelings, memories, habits, addictions etc are stored, and is this bit that needs a little bit of tweaking every now and again.  Hypnotherapy is the perfect therapy to do this because it gets you so relaxed in trance that you are open to new ideas. There is no magic behind it, it is just extremely clever.  Hypnotherapy speaks to your sub conscious mind and sometimes you might not even realise what is being said.  But this is ok because your sub conscious is taking it all in for you.

The other form of Hypnotherapy is Hypnosis.  This is the version used for entertainment and is often referred to as stage Hypnosis.  It is just as real as Hypnotherapy but is used for entertainment only.  I have to say that this type has not really appealed to me because the main purpose of me practising Hypnotherapy is to make a difference to someones life and change it for the better, not to have a good laugh at their expense.

​So what is Hypnotherapy used for and what are the benefits? It can be used to break life long bad habits and behaviors, it is used to tackle phobias, anxiety, depression, trauma and stress.  There are types of Hypnotherapy for everything.  One of the most popular is the Gastric Band Operation that is done on a virtual level through to your sub-conscious.

It takes you through the whole operation in your mind whilst you are in a deep state of relaxation (trance) this has proven to be effective in helping people to lose weight without having to go under the knife for real. There are so many other types of Hypnotherapy to use for all different problems and issues. By using the power of the mind, you are able to make a difference to the body.

Of course at Bliss I prefer to add Spiritual practice to my treatments so that I can offer something a bit different.  I ask my clients to focus on a crystal pendulum and the sound of my voice to lead them into a deep state of relaxation. Healing crystals are also placed on the body in order to balance the whole body and mind as we go further into Hypnotherapy. 

Like all Holistic Therapies the benefits are endless. Hypnotherapy at Bliss is a wonderful way to promote natural healing around the body and to relax the mind, body and soul together.
