Hypnosis helps the individual to use his own imagination to tap into his inner strength and resources.
Hypnosis is a state of mind. It is a lot like experiencing a pleasant daydream. A person in a hypnotic trance may look like he is asleep; actually he is relaxed, concentrating and using his imagination. The individual controls entering and exiting this relaxed state of consciousness. If a hypnotherapist is involved, she acts as a coach or facilitator, guiding the person’s daydream. An individual can learn self-hypnosis so he can enter that state of comfort and increased self-control at any time for his own benefit. Learning self-hypnosis is a valuable life-long skill which is good for the body, mind and soul.
