How deep can you go?
Hi
People often ask me whether they need to be deeply hypnotized to benefit from hypnotic suggestion.
Well firstly how do you even know when you have been in a deep level of trance? Body stillness (catalepsy) - not moving much for a long time indicates you've been deep, as does amnesia - the feeling afterwards that there are whole reams of time that are not too clear (to your conscious) memory.
Sometimes when you've been deep you feel as if you've been asleep or your mind has been 'some place else.' But these are all conscious checks, and if you have been consciously checking your level of trance, you'll have been reducing how deep you go! It's a classic catch-22.
Actually hypnotic change can happen in deep or even very light levels of trance. A lighter level would consist of a 'drifting in and out' sensation. It's your unconscious mind that makes and sustains emotional changes. As the late great Dr Milton Erickson said: 'In hypnosis you use your unconscious awareness because unconsciously you know a lot more than you do consciously.'
Many who use our sessions have great results even though they think they weren't 'put under'. Other people report being blown away by how deeply relaxed they become. It's good to understand that the part of you that can make changes is pretty easily accessible, it's just that hypnosis makes it more so.
Read, relax and enjoy because your unconscious mind is the most powerful part.
Best wishes
Mark

Downloads Unwrapped
The 'Downloads Unwrapped' section details the inspiration, thought and sound psychological principles behind a selection of our new October downloads.
To create an effective session we have to 'get under the skin' psychologically of the problem we are dealing with.
Amongst our latest offerings we have Trust Again for people who feel let down by others, we have Stand up for Yourself, and Develop Resilience, both vital characteristics to succeed in many areas. But I'm briefly going to look at Stop Apologizing, Accept Compliments and Fear of Abandonment
People who suffer low self esteem are more likely to needlessly and excessively apologize. Why?
Because they use something known as an internal explanatory style for negative things. So rather than ascribing the cause of something bad or unfortunate to external factors they'll feel somehow personally responsible even when they are not.
An over-apologizer might apologize because the weather turned the picnic rather wet or because they think they sense someone else is uncomfortable. They take blame where it doesn't lie. Over apologizing makes people appear anxious and low in confidence (and therefore more likely to be bullied).
People who can't Accept Compliments do something similar. They externalize good things. If something turns out well they don't want credit because they feel they themselves cannot possibly be the source of the good thing. Ironically a person with this kind of low self esteem acts as if they were too sure of themselves. They are too sure that they can't produce or doing anything of worth and too sure others couldn't possibly see qualities in them that are hidden to themselves.
When we automatically reject a compliment we in affect deny that the compliment giver has enough perception to know what they are talking about.
People who experience Fear of Abandonment may do so because they felt abandoned in the past. They mistrust that a relationship can be sustainable and positive in the long term. They may say and think: 'I'm just waiting for something to go wrong; for them to leave me'.
This anxiety may cause the sufferer to be overly needy and insecure in relationships which in turn may start to bring about what it is they fear most. This session focuses on building a sense that you can be strong and confident with or without a significant other in your life.
And remember that next month we'll have a brand new audio insight for you too.
Audio Insight - The meaning of dreams:This month's Audio Insight focuses on what up-to-the-minute psychology tells us about why we all have to dream, what happens if we dream too much and what dreams are trying to tell us. Once you have the key to unlock the meaning of your own dreams (and other peoples') then you'll possess a powerful tool to better understand yourself.
In this no-cost audio session you'll hear all about the magic and science of the brains most creative process. Listen to all about why we dream and what they mean here.
