HypnoPuncture
A combination of Hypnosis and Acupuncture
Have you ever driven home and as soon as you arrived, it dawned on you that you had no idea how you got there; had no recollection of the drive, basically you were on autopilot? If the answer is, yes, then you were in a hypnotic state.
Hypnosis is a natural state that our brains flow in and out of all day long. The hypnotic state is the Theta brainwave state, whereas the conscious thinking state is using our Beta brainwaves. Each person wakes and falls asleep in a hypnotic state of mind. The hypnotic state allows one to reveal their subconscious mind by bypassing their critical thinking abilities.
Hypnosis overloads the mind with information we call message units. This overload of information puts your body into the natural fight-flight state, which allows you to be more receptive to suggestions than you’d normally be. As you start to become more receptive to suggestions, you may notice some physiologic changes in your body. You may feel your breathing getting deeper and slower; your mouth may become dry; your eyelids may feel heavy. You will start to feel very relaxed and you can always hear what’s going on around you. In fact, you’ll become overly aware of what’s going on. In hypnosis, you’re never unconscious, you’re always aware and awake.
Your conscious mind logically and rationally wants to move you in the direction of your solution, but your solution is unknown to your subconscious mind, which means your subconscious mind is moving in the opposite direction of your conscious mind. So we are going to use the tool of hypnosis to temporarily break down the critical mind and use the power of suggestion directly into the subconscious mind to start changing the negative associations you have to your desired solution and outcome. With enough repetition, your subconscious mind will become familiar with your desired outcome and start moving in the same direction as your conscious mind. This will allow us to achieve your desired outcome.
