Hypnotherapy (London)

History of Hypnotherapy -
 
Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy has been used for many thousands of years to analyse dreams, helping people to understand particular problems.
 
It is said that disease is due to a block in magnetic forces flowing around the body. These forces are now often referred to as 'life energy'
 
Many hypnotherapists have used magnets and sweeping arm movements across a patient's body claiming to unblock any energy flows that were causing disease. This slow rhythmic movement and powerful suggestions to the patient are the roots of hypnotherapy methods that are used throughout the world today.
 
How does it work?
 
The human mind is made up of two parts known as the conscious and the sub-conscious. The conscious mind responds by taking control of daily decision making whereas the sub-conscious only responds to the way it has been previously programmed.
 
When trying to overcome a fear for instance, a person instinctively uses the conscious part of the mind to change how they feel, but the phobia is still retained in their sub-conscious. The sub-conscious is the part of the mind that needs reprogramming to make progress in overcoming certain problems like quitting smoking for example.
 
Hypnotherapy works by inducing a trance-like state within a patient in which they are fully aware of their surroundings but only concentrating on the hypnotherapist's voice. It is different from sleep and closer to a relaxed state of wakefulness where breathing and heart-rate slows and brain-waves change.
 
Once in a state of hypnosis, a person is open to suggestion from the hypnotherapist and able to take control over any involuntary thoughts, behaviour or feelings taking place in the sub-conscious.
