What is hypnosis?

Hypnosis is actually not sleep at all. It is simply a relaxed,focused state of concentration. You do it almost every day.Every time you daydream, or visualize an event in the past orfuture, that's hypnosis. Everyone can experience a state ofhypnosis and new research shows that the results are thesame regardless of the depth of trance. Sometimes justclosing your eyes and taking a deep breath is enough to putyourself into a receptive state. Hypnotherapy is much morethan just hypnosis, in that it looks for the deep seated causesof problems and solutions and answers within your ownmind. With Hypnotherapy, your subconscious creates newand more powerful ways to solve problems, overcome fearsand limitations, and make lasting changes in your life.Hypnosis is a state of mind that few can agree on. It is mostdifficult to define, impossible to find, and most hypnotizedsubjects will emerge saying that they don't think they werehypnotized! There is a deep level of hypnosis calledSomnambulism. In this state there is a dramatic slowing ofthe breathing, heart rate and skin color becomes pale. The subject however is not asleep. This state is very distinctlydifferent that sleep, in that your subject is very suggestible.Subjects in a state of somnambulism often have amnesia forthe suggestions that were given. In other words, uponopening their eyes they will not remember anything thattranspired during the session.Neuro Linguistic Programming is a technology that utilizesthe language of the brain. Most NLP processes are relativelysimple and yet are able to create profound change in the waythe brain processes information. NLP is also a great way tomake changes in the way we motivate ourselves, createdesirable outcomes, and release the past. Understanding thelanguage of the brain can help us to become powerfulpersuaders, and create desirable outcomes in business,personal and romantic relationships. Much of my workcombines the cutting edge knowledge of Neuro LinguisticProgramming and deep trance states to effect change. Agrowing offshoot of Neuro Linguistic Programming is NLS,which stands for Neuro Linguistic Seduction. Much of whatyou will learn in part one of this book is the gleaned fromthis concept. There are words and patterns that seduce andcreate attachment. There is a rapidly growing consciousnessthat is mastering the use of NLS to simply figure out how toget a date and get laid once in a while. Fascinating actually.
