During hypnosis, the body and conscious mind are in a relaxed, natural state,
while the subconscious mind remains awake and receptive to suggestion. Hypnosis
is an education-communication process to a person's mind that allows his/her
conscious and subconscious minds to believe the same message.

How does the subconscious accept hypnotic suggestions?

Hypnotic suggestions bypass the intellectual mind, called the "conscious," and zero
in on the subconscious. When given a new suggestion that is within the bounds of
a person's belief system and moral orientation, the subconscious mind accepts it literally as a new reality.

How does hypnosis help people?

The ability to reprogram emotional attitudes and reactions is a latent talent within
every human being. Hypnosis is the most functional and reasonable way to train
life-long attitudes, rather than suffer a lifetime of emotional accidents the conscious
mind is unable to change.

Can any person be hypnotized?

People of average intelligence (unless there is some form of organic brain damage)
can be hypnotized in most cases if they are willing and do not resist. The depth of
hypnosis varies with a person's ability to respond. If you are not a naturally responsive
subject, you can improve your receptivity to hypnosis with practice. It is thought that
88% of all people respond positively to Hypnosis.

Is hypnosis medically approved?

Yes. The American Medical Association and the American Psychiatric Association have
approved hypnotherapy for use by professionally responsible individuals. The British
Medical Association also adopted hypnosis as a viable therapeutic tool in 1958.
(The same year as the AMA.)

Is hypnosis dangerous?

No. The induction of hypnosis is never dangerous to the subject, although personal
disappointments may arise because of unrealistic expectations or preconceived information.

Are the results of hypnosis permanent?

Suggestions stay with some individuals indefinitely, others need reinforcement.
The effects of hypnosis are cumulative: The more the techniques are practiced and
post-hypnotic suggestions are accepted, the more permanent the results become.
Self-hypnosis training and reinforcement tapes or cd's for home use also provide additional help.
 

How powerful is a hypnotist?

Hypnosis is a consent situation in which 10 percent of the effort is the hypnotist's and
the remaining 90 percent is the responsibility of the client.
