Hypnosis & Your Subconscious Mind
It is estimated that your conscious mind, those thoughts with which you are regularly aware, only comprises about 5% of your mind as a whole.
The subconscious, the remaining 95%, has far greater control over bodily function, actions, behaviors and emotions. This means that the majority of your daily life experience is influenced or controlled by ideas and beliefs that you don't even realize are having an influence.
Your subconscious mind can affect all areas of your life and body. Here are a few examples of what your subconscious mind can affect and that hypnosis can have a sometimes dramatic effect upon:

Your Subconscious Map
While it can be difficult to wrap our heads around this idea, your subconscious mind has the majority of it's foundational programming completed by ages 7-10 years. It is during these years that your brain is actually designed to be programmed. Your brain waves are in a much more receptive state, especially for the first 3-5 years, because you are learning to function and survive.
So all of the beliefs and ideas about yourself and the world around you that you received from your parents, teachers and other influences grew out of that need to survive. Whether they were healthy strategies or unhealthy strategies for survival is all dependent on those around you and in part your response to the world around you. You created beliefs and ideas about the world in order to feel safe and to be included as a part of the social world.

Positively Reprogramming Your Inner Mind
Hypnosis is a natural and altered state in which you are responsive to positive and life affirming suggestions. It is in this state that together we can access these subconscious beliefs that are contributing to the emotions, behaviors and physical symptoms you are experiencing. In a hypnosis session, you consciously set your conscious mind to the side, opening the subconscious to allow value affirming and positive suggestions to change those beliefs that are no longer serving you in your life. In my hypnotherapy sessions I use a variety of hypnosis tools to help you reach your goal or overcome your challenge. Hypnosis and hypnotherapy can really work for almost anything and the research is starting to pile up proving the power of the mind. You can check out the areas of focus in my practice to learn more.
