Hypnosis is achieved in deep, peaceful relaxation.

For most, if not all, religions this state of mind is regarded as sacred. You are in this state of mind when you are praying the rosary, and a belief of the rich Jewish tradition is, that when you pray in this state of mind, your prayers will be answered.

Through hypnotherapy one can also communicate with the super-conscious mind. This kind of hypnotherapy is called Integrational Hypnotherapy.

However, we restrict this easy flow as we try to defend ourselves against life. Either we try to obscure our perception of painful situations or we try to cling to pleasurable ones. These defensive and manipulative measures change the actuality of the moment by limiting the instrument of our experience - our mind-body system. These limitations will further alter the way we perceive and respond to reality in the future.

The painful experiences we wish to reject remain with us forever, until we look at them and free them. The memory of events we could not bear stay frozen in the tissue of our body. They not only interfere with our ability to perceive, feel, think and act freely; they also affect our anatomy in harmful ways.

Most of our defenses become fixed in childhood when we are very impressionable.

For children love and recognition are as important as food and shelter but not every child is loved and recognized. In order to cope, children make decisions to constrict themselves, repressing what they know and feel and adapting to their parents' attitude.  The memories of painful experiences remain trapped in our body. Through all the years to come, they preserve the emotional charge of the moment as well as the mind set we were at the time.

The rich and various techniques of modern transpersonal and/or integrational hypnotherapy awaken the blocked currents of life in the body and allow a person to become more fully alive. We begin to live with more confidence and trust. Our body heals and rejuvenates. Our mind becomes clearer, our senses sharper. We are able to make decisions based on our own inner wisdom and walk in the direction of the fulfillment of our desires.
