Unveiling the Mysteries of Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

Updated: Nov 1, 2023

Hypnosis, a topic that often sparks curiosity and a hint of scepticism, has been widely embraced as a therapeutic tool in recent years. This intriguing practice goes far beyond the stereotypical image of a swinging pocket watch (which I can assure you, I do not use), and it has garnered considerable recognition for its effectiveness in addressing various issues. But how does it work, and what makes it so powerful? In this article, we'll delve into the world of hypnosis, explore the science behind it with the guidance of renowned cell biologist Dr Bruce Lipton, and clarify common misconceptions about losing control during hypnosis. Additionally, we'll discuss how hypnosis plays a pivotal role in Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT).

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility, often accompanied by deep relaxation. Contrary to popular belief, it's not a state of unconsciousness or mind control. Instead, it's a state of heightened awareness that allows individuals to access their subconscious mind more readily.


How does Hypnosis work?

Hypnosis operates through the power of suggestion. During a hypnotic session, a trained practitioner guides the client into a relaxed state and unpacks the reason why the client is experiencing blocks in a certain area of their life. Thereafter, the hypnotherapist offers positive suggestions tailored to their specific goals. In this state, the conscious mind takes a step back, while the subconscious mind becomes more receptive to the suggestions provided. This allows for the reprogramming of deep-seated beliefs and behaviours.


One common misconception about hypnosis is the fear of losing control. In reality, hypnosis is a collaborative process between the practitioner and the client. You cannot be made to do anything against your will or ethics while in a hypnotic state. It's a completely safe and voluntary experience where you remain aware of your surroundings, and importantly, you cannot get stuck in a hypnotic state. Rest assured that you will return to your normal state of consciousness whenever you choose during a hypnosis session.


Why is Hypnosis so effective?

To understand why hypnosis is so effective, let's turn to the insights of Dr Bruce Lipton, a pioneer in the field of epigenetics. Dr Lipton's research has revealed that our beliefs and perceptions shape our biology and play a significant role in our overall health and well-being. Hypnosis taps into this by altering belief patterns stored in the subconscious mind.


According to Dr Lipton, our subconscious mind is like a powerful computer that controls our thoughts, behaviours, and physiological responses. By accessing and reprogramming this subconscious database through hypnosis, we can create positive changes in our lives. This process has been proven effective in managing stress, anxiety, phobias, and even addressing physical health issues.


Hypnosis and Rapid Transformational Therapy

Rapid Transformational Therapy (RTT), developed by renowned therapist Marisa Peer, harnesses the power of hypnosis to facilitate rapid and lasting change. RTT combines elements of hypnotherapy, cognitive-behavioural therapy, and psychotherapy to address a wide range of issues, including weight management, addiction, and emotional healing. By delving into the subconscious mind, RTT helps clients uncover and reframe the root causes of their challenges, leading to profound transformation.

Hypnosis, a misunderstood and often underestimated practice, offers a powerful pathway through the Mind-Body Connection to personal transformation and healing. Backed by the scientific insights of Dr Bruce Lipton, we can appreciate the profound impact of hypnosis on our beliefs and behaviours. It's a tool for positive change that empowers individuals to take control of their lives and break free from limitations.
