If you are someone who believes that making changes is difficult, for instance changing one’s eating habits, then you have been trying to change habits on the conscious level only rather then the subconscious level where habits are actually programmed. Traditional diets can work, you can lose weight healthfully and effectively and keep it off if you create these changes in your subconscious mind. When changes are made in the subconscious mind where your long-term memories, beliefs and perceptions are stored, you in turn make changes to your thought process. Change your thoughts and you change your life! That’s right, and as a result, you can actually change your behaviors and your reactions easily with little to no conscious effort on your part. “How can you do such a remarkable thing?” you may be asking. The answer is with hypnosis. A trained professional hypnotist can assist you in accessing your the powerful subconscious mind to help you make your desired changes.

Certainly, if what you have been doing isn’t working for you then it is time to change what you are doing. If you do what you’ve always done you will get what you’ve always got. That is exactly what happens when behaviors haven’t been changed on the fundamental perceptual and belief level. Through hypnosis anyone can make changes in their subconscious perceptions and beliefs. As a result, changes will take place in the thought process as well. Why do this? Because if you think what you’ve always thought then you get what you’ve always got. Thoughts precede behaviors.

The process of hypnosis by-passes what is called the critical factor, the “line” between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. Your conscious mind is your analytical, judgmental and critical area of your brain. Although it needs to operate this way for survival purposes and decision-making, it can also trip us up, getting in the way of our own progress and improvement. The conscious mind acts upon the beliefs that have been imprinted in our subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is the emotional, imaginative center of our brain that also stores our long-term memories.

75% of our beliefs about ourselves have been imprinted into our subconscious by the age of 7. Therefore, the majority of our personality is determined by the time we are 7. (That puts a whole new twist to “acting like a child” doesn’t it.) This knowledge is useful for hypnosis age regression. In a hypnotic state an individual can mentally journey back into their past safely and objectively and look at the frame work of beliefs that were established at a young age and then move forward bit by bit to review what other beliefs were established based on the original ones.

The vicious cycle of negative habits can be changed with hypnosis. During hypnotherapy the goal of the hypnotherapist is to put forth positive suggestions to your subconscious mind. You work together with your hypnotherapist to clarify what it is that you want for yourself and we put that in the most positive language possible and feed it to your subconscious mind. Once that new positive information is absorbed by the subconscious, your conscious mind can begin to act upon it. What the mind can perceive the mind can achieve!
