Hypnosis and NLP (Neuro-Linguistic Programming)

Debunking Myths About Hypnosis

Our minds have this great “gatekeeper” called the critical factor. The “critical factor” is a part of the conscious mind. It's kind of like a guard at the gate between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. It has the power to accept or reject suggestions that enter the subconscious mind. It has very good intentions. Its job is to protect us. It will not allow you to do anything that you don't want to do. During your session, you can open your eyes at any time, you're an active part of the process and in complete control at all times. Nearly everyone is a good candidate, but the important factor is that you are ready to make a change. Hypnosis is a safe and effective way to make powerful and positive change. Mita is an ethical, qualified, experienced, and certified hypnotist, providing a safe and relaxing experience.

What is NLP?

Neuro-Linguistic Programming (NLP) is an approach to communication, personal development, and psychotherapy created by Richard Bandler and John Grinder in California, United States, in the 1970s.

The unconscious mind is a powerful part of you! It’s where your thoughts, your behaviors, you're thinking, your memories, and your habits—your entire model of the world—live in this magical and mystical place! It has taken in every detail of everything you have ever seen, done, heard, smelled, or tasted. Isn’t that amazing?

NLP therapy and coaching are extremely effective because, rather than just using questioning skills to get you talking about something, other techniques can be used to help you change your behavior and your thinking. This allows you to be released from the hurtful “negative” memories, thoughts, or feelings that are holding you back from making progress.

There are many names for the techniques used in NLP; however, most of the time the therapist/coach will be creative in how they help you re-wire past detrimental thought patterns and behaviors and help you create new ones. A bit like rewiring a car or writing a new computer program, but instead you are nourishing your mind and body.

What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is actually a state of increased awareness with deep mental and physical relaxation. It is an interactive, cooperative experience that the hypnotist and client build together. Hypnotic suggestion is a rapid, long-lasting way for you to reframe negative old beliefs and patterns of behavior that no longer serve you into new and positive beliefs and behaviors that result in success. In the relaxed hypnotic state, the brain releases certain “feel good” chemicals like dopamine that stimulate the body to rebalance, kind of like rebooting your computer after a software update. Powerful positive suggestions that you help create are put into the wording in your sessions, and your body and mind listen and make adjustments to help you achieve your goals.

A Bit of History

Hypnosis has been used throughout history and its use is recorded in ancient Chinese, Hindu, and Egyptian texts. Great creative minds, including Sigmund Freud, Milton Erikson, Emile Coue, and Dave Ellman, used hypnosis and touted its amazing ability to bring about profound healing and positive change. Doctors relied on the power of hypnosis before the development of anesthesia. Hypnosis was and still is used at times by dentists and doctors all over the world.

About Meditation
