...What is Hypnosis...?
Hypnosis is a totally natural state of mind. A deep state of relaxation occurs very similar to the feelings one experiences when really tired at the end of the day as you lie immersed in bed, in total comfort. If you have tried meditation or yoga in the past you may well have experienced something of a similar nature.
Many people claim they have never been hypnotised, but will admit to having 'drifted off' while thinking of something special, possibly forgetting large portions of a car journey (highway hypnosis) or even when deeply absorbed in a book you may have found yourself drifting off somewhere else. These are all what is known as natural trance states.
...Hypnotherapy
Firstly, it must be stressed that a person cannot be hypnotised unless he or she agrees to co-operate.
Within a therapeutic setting, hypnosis is induced by a Hypnotherapist through various methods of relaxation. As a result of this, the person is drawn into a trance state, giving the client and the therapist the ideal condition in which to make changes.
...What is NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming?)
NLP is a behavioural technology, which simply means that it is a set of guiding principles, attitudes and techniques about real life behaviour, and not a removed...? scientific theorem.
It allows you to change, eliminate or adopt behaviours as desired, together with the ability to choose your mental, emotional and physical states of being.
