Question:
What is hypnosis?
Answer: A state of relaxation and/or a level of concentration that the average individual reaches daily. Self-Hypnosis is accomplished most often when one is “absorbed” in a TV program, experiencing repetition (highway driving), or daydreaming. “Hypnotherapy” is a form of guided relaxation using concentration where the ideas expressed (suggestions) by the therapist are generally experienced more clearly, which in turn creates a new awareness. Depending on one’s motivations, there may be a shift in attitude about specific subject matters (habits and stresses). The only requirement for getting therapeutic results is that the person has a conscious desire to change, or in other words, is in agreement with the suggestions.
Question:
Do people do things under hypnosis that are against their morals or values?
Answer: No. Hypnosis cannot detach the ego. As a general rule, if a client were given a suggestion he or she did not agree with, he or she would simply refuse, laugh at it, or awaken (regain normal awareness). In stage hypnosis, the volunteers are usually under the influence of alcohol and have come to the show for the purpose of relaxing, acting silly and having a good time, therefore, they are easily encouraged to do so. Because inhibitions are often reduced under hypnosis, the subject is more likely to experience their inner character traits and motivations.
Question:
Can a person’s memory be erased?
Answer: No. If one undergoing hypnosis wants to remember, he or she will. In some cases, if the client wants to forget something, amnesia can be produced with a post-hypnotic suggestion, but it wears off as quickly as the subject wishes. Although, a certified hypnotherapist can help a person transform a memory, which may be causing problems. The mind contains unconscious memories, which generally are responsible for our decisions, attitudes, feelings, and behaviors. ~
Question:
Can everyone be hypnotized?
Answer: Yes, provided one has normal physiological and psychological functioning and therefore the ability to concentrate and/or relax. As long as a normal human being is willing, he or she may undergo hypnosis. Insusceptible people are simply not willing. There is a positive correlation between one’s willingness to relax and concentrate and the ability to undergo hypnosis.
Question:
Do people under hypnosis go to sleep or become unconscious?
Answer: No. One should not expect to go to sleep! Hypnosis is a hyper-state of awareness that feels very relaxing. One is completely aware of everything that is occurring in the surrounding environment as well as that which is happening in the inner mind. Hypnosis is a state of consciousness located somewhere between awake and asleep. Some fatigued people may go out of hypnosis by falling into natural sleep, simply because they were tired, but then they may need to be awakened; if a person is trying to recall a memory under hypnosis, he or she can’t do so while sleeping. On the other hand, if a person is listening to a self-hypnosis tape and he or she falls out of hypnosis into sleep, the suggestions will likely still be effective.
Question:
What can be treated with hypnotherapy?
Answer: A qualified clinical hypnotherapist has the capabilities to help alleviate or transform a multitude of symptoms and problems. Many hypnotherapists carry credentials in other professional fields and therefore utilize hypnosis within the context of their specialty areas. The more qualifying information one requests (such as educational background, specialization, and the content of the treatment program) the better possibility that one seeking the benefits of hypnotherapy will match his or her needs appropriately.
Question:
What is regression therapy?
Answer: While under hypnosis memories held in your subconscious can be accessed. Events from childhood and beyond are easier to access. Regression therapy is a useful method for addressing many areas of life. It can access the origin of a problem and eliminate or minimize it. Past traumas and relationships often are unknown drivers to negative thoughts and behaviors in adult life. With regression therapy the core is found and dealt with in a healthy way.
Question:
What is past life regression therapy?
Answer: Past Life Regression is much like current lifetime regression, but explores further into soul lives, before this incarnation. As with our current lifetime, there may be events or relationships that affect our thoughts and behaviors. Some may be from a lifetime before this one, and unknown to the individual, except through hypnosis. Past life regression can be therapeutic as well as fascinating to explore your souls journey, as well as your past life experiences with those in your soul group (those important to you in this life are likely to have been a part of your past lives too). Sometimes people may "not believe" in Past Lives, even for these individuals what ever experience comes from the past life regression brings a message from the sub-conscious mind that can provide insight and answsers to questions sought by the client!
Question:
What is Life Between Lives Spiritual Regression therapy?
Answer: Life Between Lives Regression is an intensive deep hypnotic process to reconnect you with your soul self, your guiding beings and thereby awaken an understanding of your immortal identity. It is the achievement of complete physical relaxation, guided by suggestions given by the therapist but created entirely by the client, in which awareness is altered and the subconscious and even higher levels of the mind can be accessed. The process includes current life regression, through the womb into the most recent past life and then into the "life between lives" before entering into this lifetime. In that spiritual world where guides and others can help answer and resolve many of the questions you have in this lifetime. it is a deeply healing and transformative process.
Question:
What is NLP?
Answer: Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an incredibly powerful discipline that enables people to unblock the structures of human communication and human excellence. By doing so people can think, communicate and manage themselves, and others, more effectively.NLP explores the relationships between how we think (neuro), how we communicate (linguistic) and our patterns of behaviour and emotion (programmes).By studying and learning from these relationships people can effectively transform the way they traditionally think and act, adopting new, far more successful models of human excellence. (This activity is called modelling and is a key feature that distinguishes NLP from psychology).In effect, NLP is a powerful change management tool that transforms the way people think and act to have the greatest impact both professionally and personally. That’s why NLP is one of the most powerful skills used in business management, psychology, sales, sports coaching and all forms of personal development.
NLP can help you to:
- Be more successful by learning to influence your emotional and psychological states.
- Replace negative behaviors and habits with positive ones.
- Transform the way you go about everyday tasks.
- Be more aware of your impact on others and how to manage your behavior for optimal results.
- Better understand your own motivations, needs and behaviors and use these positively to have the greatest impact.
- Better understand your staff’s and customer’s needs, motivations and behaviors.
- Improve and enhance your interpersonal relationships.

WHAT IS REIKI?
The word “Reiki” means “mysterious atmosphere, miraculous sign.” It comes from the Japanese words “rei” (universal) and “ki” (life energy). Reiki is a type of energy healing.
Energy healing targets the energy fields around the body.
According to practitioners, energy can stagnate in the body where there has been physical injury or possibly emotional pain. In time, these energy blocks can cause illness.
Energy medicine aims to help the flow of energy and remove blocks in a similar way to acupuncture or acupressure. Improving the flow of energy around the body, say practitioners, can enable relaxation, reduce pain, speed healing, and reduce other symptoms of illness.
Reiki has been around for thousands of years. Its current form was first developed in 1922 by a Japanese Buddhist called Mikao Usui, who reportedly taught 2,000 people the Reiki method during his lifetime. The practice spread to the U.S. through Hawaii in the 1940s, and then to Europe in the 1980s.
What happens in a Reiki session? Reiki is best held in a peaceful setting, but it can be carried out anywhere. The patient will sit in a comfortable chair or lie on a table, fully clothed. There may or may not be music, depending on the patient’s preference.
The practitioner places their hands lightly on or over specific areas of the head, limbs, and torso using different hand shapes, for between 2 and 5 minutes. The hands can be placed over 20 different areas of the body.
If there is a particular injury, such as a burn, the hands may be held just above the wound.
While the practitioner holds their hands lightly on or over the body, the transfer of energy takes place. During this time, the practitioner’s hands may be warm and tingling. Each hand position is held until the practitioner senses that the energy has stopped flowing.
When the practitioner feels that the heat, or energy, in their hands has abated, they will remove their hands and may place them over a different area of the body. Reiki can be performed remotely anywhere in the world by a Reiki Master. The energy is not limited to space and time and can be effective through specific Reiki processes with the intention of the practitioner.
