What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a method that allows your left brain, the part that is so critical of you, to fall asleep or to be thinking of other things while your body relaxes and your subconscious mind, where the feelings are stored, become more alert.

When you are hypnotized, it will not be anything like you have seen in the movies or on television. You will always hear your HypnoTherapist’s voice and if a dog barks or the telephone would ring, you would hear it. Although you will hear it, you will only acknowledge it, and continue paying attention to your HypnoTherapist’s voice.

There is absolutely no discomfort or strain involved in the hypnotherapy process. In fact, most clients tell us that it is the most pleasant, calming, relaxing and safe experience they have ever enjoyed. If something were to happen to your HypnoTherapist during your Hypnosis, your mind would simply get bored and you would open your eyes to see where the HypnoTherapist was and what he or she was doing. Everyone awakens from hypnosis quickly and easily. In the history of hypnosis, which is over thousands and thousands of years, no one has ever been injured by hypnosis and millions have been helped. There have, of course, been many scary stories over the years, and they are just that, stories.

When you see hypnosis on television and in movies, this makes for exciting viewing, but has no basis in fact. Real hypnosis is soothing, calming and healing. That wouldn’t make much of a television show or movie, would it?

What is going to happen to me?

The first step is that your HypnoTherapist will do an intake interview in order to determine how to assist you in making those changes in your life through wonderful hypnosis.

You can just relax! Actually, there is little for you to do. It is helpful if you trust your HypnoTherapist to lead you into a wonderful state of relaxing and safe hypnosis. You, of course, understand that this is self-hypnosis and at anytime can open your eyes and end the session. YOU ARE ALWAYS IN CONTROL!

We will work together as a team! You can help yourself and your HypnoTherapist by breathing in deeply and exhaling slowly as you continue reading this information. You become more calm as you breathe in deeply and more relaxed as you exhale slowly. You might also want to put yourself in a more comfortable position. Some people like to remove their shoes, release tight belts and just feel at home. We encourage you to do the same.

What do I do? You do nothing! And for first people this is the first time in their lives where the most important thing they could do is nothing. Although most of us aren’t trained in doing nothing, there is an instinct that allows you to do nothing very well. With the help of your HypnoTherapist, you will be so proud at how well you were able to do nothing.

Did you know?

In 1958, the American Medical Association accepted hypnotherapy as an adjunct to medical practice. However, hypnotherapy does not replace medical treatment. Always consult your doctor

Churches and organized religion have varying thoughts about hypnotherapy, depending upon the Bible they chose to use in their teachings. Hypnosis, past lives, and spirit attunement was mentioned often in the Bible. We take no position on religious beliefs.

Many professional and amateur athletes rely on hypnotherapy, self-hypnosis and visualization to advance their skills. After their enormous amount of physical training and conditioning, the only edge they can obtain is in their mind. Hypnotherapy is a powerful force in accomplishing that edge.

Understand that each of you is your own higher self,
as you are right now,
and doing the best you can.
~Dr. Peebles

Life is so precious,
Don’t waste a day!
Live life to the fullest
In small simple ways.
Take time to smell the roses,
Hear the song of the bird.
Take time, say, “I love you”.

Take time, watch the sunset
All pink, red and gold.
Take time and just stand still;
It’s a sight to behold.

Take time for yourself.
For you are the most important of all!
