Welcome to State of Mind
We all have the ability to change any area our life for the better.
With every person I see professionally my aim is to bring that ability to the surface. Not just in the short term but for life.
In the early 90's due to various personal traumas I began attending small courses and workshops on self help and alternative healing therapies. In 1993 I completed a certificated Counselling Foundation Course at the City University of London. I studied for four years with the London and Bromely School of Practical Philosophy.
In the year 2000 I qualified as a Stress Consultant, leading to further studies and further qualifications. I then began running courses and workshops of my own, all with self awareness and development in mind. To date I still do.
To ensure my services to clients are of the highest standard possible I regularly attend lectures, seminars, meetings etc .keeping me up to date and informed of new developments within my chosen profession. I feel qualifications are only a starting point of any chosen therapy practiced.
Because every moment of life experience is governed by the thoughts we think and the emotions that accompany them, we produce the life we think about most often. Because most of the thoughts we think are habitual (good or not so good) all reside in the unconscious mind. Usually based from past experiences with scenarios of the future, often not truly reflecting the present moment, we begin to feel powerless to change our life for the better.
Because hypnosis deals directly with the unconscious mind it can have the ability to redirect negative, self destructing thoughts into empowering new patterns of thoughts and accompanying emotions.
Hypnosis / NLP
What is Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a relaxing, natural state of mind.
It is often describe as that lovely, cozy feeling just prior to sleep.
It is not however sleep itself.
Hypnosis induces a state of relaxation allowing the the conscious mind to harmonise with the unconscious mind (sub-conscious.)
Both chemically and electrically the left and right hemispheres of the brain work together. Hypnosis can be self induced or induced by another person. It is produced through relaxation of the body, concentration, imagination and suggestibility of the mind. Using the sensory perception of the conscious mind with suggestions of relaxation, imagination, concentration and suggestions the conscious and unconscious become in harmony with each other recording the same message simultaneously. This then is understood logically by the conscious mind and association by the unconscious mind. When this happens endorphins are released into the brain and both the conscious and unconscious mind produce alpha waves patterns.
What Hypnosis Does.
Being in a state of hypnosis with a qualified therapist allows direct access to the unconscious mind to change negative habits and learnt beliefs that no conscious mind has the ability to change. We live life mainly through the unconscious mind although it appears we experience life through the conscious mind. It is now scientifically understood that thoughts and emotions create our reality. We are not always mindful of the thoughts we think, sometimes we are not even aware of them. They become habitual, and embedded in the unconscious mind. Being in a state of hypnosis allows the therapist to redirect the unconscious mind from negative patterns or behaviours to more suitable, healthier and positive patterns and behaviours. Dealing directly with the unconscious mind positive changes are accepted naturally and permanently.
NLP. Neuro Linguistic Programming
Neuro = Nervous system through which experience is received and processed through the five senses
Linguistic = Language verbal and non verbal communication systems through which natural representations are coded, ordered and given meaning
Programming = The ability to organise our communication and neurological systems to achieve specific desired goals and results.
Every person uses all the above to receive information at any given time. But how we process the information and what we make of it is different for each one of us. NLP uses the known factors (above) to aid an individual in adapting their abilities to the fullest. It also helps an individual to strengthen weaker areas of their individual information system. It is a system to bring about human excellence developed in the 1970's by Richard Brandler and John Grinder. Many of it's known techniques are simple but effective and when used in conjunction with hypnosis can have astonishing results.
The Mind
The mind works on two levels the conscious and the unconscious. Both play extremely important roles but each has a specific function of its own while interacting with the other.
Our interpretation of the world initially starts from the conscious part of the mind, this information is fed into the unconscious to be stored and used. The unconscious has no logic or reasoning abilities. Information constantly fed to the unconscious mind becomes a behaviour, a belief, a pattern, habit or addiction. Good or bad the unconscious does not differentiate, it does exactly what it is programmed to do.
What is presumed with a conscious action and/or thought is absorbed into the unconscious. The unconscious mind being the more powerful dominates the way we live our life. This explains why it seems so difficult to change any unwanted habits, behaviours etc. Consciously we may want to change something but until it is accepted into the unconscious mind the change does not take place. So the battle within ourselves continues.
The conscious mind has the ability to manage 1-3 events at a time, processing on average 2,000 bits of information per second.The unconscious has the ability to manage thousands of events at a time and can process 4,000,000,000 bits per second.
Meaning we are not always consciously aware of information being programmed into the unconscious mind. This is not as overwhelming as it seems because the unconscious minds controls the body. It controls organs, blood circulation, digestion, health and so on. It controls our functions ie. walking up stairs while talking. We could not do that if we were consciously aware of our actions.(After the learning process has occurred.) It also controls breathing although that can be consciously controlled at times when required.
It is my understanding that most negative issues can be helped by aiding the unconscious mind to heal the body and mind changing the belief factor that brought the negativity into conscious reality. Hypnotherapy is a positive step to enable the body and mind to rid itself of unwanted conditions.
