Awake Hypnosis

What is Awake Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is about bypassing the critical part of the mind (known as the Critical Factor) to reach directly into the subconscious mind so that, what is being suggested, has the greatest beneficial effect on the client.

When we do Awake Hypnosis, we occupy the conscious mind by using it to guide the fingers of the non-dominant hand to specific acupressure points. This enables what we say to be more readily accepted by the subconscious mind - we physically alter the way neural firings occur within the brain - and by changing these neural pathways, we alter our moods. By using the non-dominant hand, the ‘spatial/forgiving/creative’ side of the brain comes into play which further increases the effectiveness of the technique.

Tapping on specific acupressure points causes the body to become physically calmer and by vocalizing for any negative moods, fears or problems we cause the subconscious mind to alter the way we FEEL about them.

Originally developed by Stanford engineer Gary Craig under the name of Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), this simple but effective self-hypnosis tool is now being used by hypnotherapists, psychologists and energy therapists around the world. When practiced regularly, the benefits are extremely quick, effective and permanent.
