Hypnosis is an entirely natural state which is pleasant and relaxing, similar to the drowsy state experienced prior to sleep, where the physiological relaxed state is present. A better description of Hypnosis is conscious relaxation. Self hypnosis often occurs when we become engrossed in our reading, watching television, listening to music etc.

Hypnotherapy is a suggestion-based therapy, where a concept, idea or suggestion is put to the patient. This can be particularly useful to help a person to stop biting nails or smoking for example.

Once someone has learned the art of true relaxation it becomes a part of that person’s very nature. No one is suggesting that being able to relax will do away with everyday pressures and tensions. It will however put you in a sufficiently calm and clear frame of mind to be able to deal with your most difficult problems.
