• Hypnosis can be defined as an altered state of consciousnesses or a state of deep relaxation. When someone is hypnotised they are more open to suggestions than under normal circumstances as there is direct access to the subconscious mind. Hypnosis is used to bring about therapeutic change and improve personal well-being.

A hypnotic or a trance-like state is brought about by repeated commands in a soothing tone of voice to induce relaxation of body and mind; this can be achieved by focusing on breathing and shifting attention away from the external environment. Once body and mind are relaxed the client has a heightened susceptibility to positive suggestions used to bring about beneficial changes. The hypnotherapist assists in uncovering and exploring memories, emotions and past events which may affect a persons' conscious mind. They can also use hypnotherapy to activate the clients' inner resources and subconscious mind in order to achieve a desired goal.

Many studies have shown that roughly 90% of the population are capable of being hypnotized. All that's needed is:

• A willingness to be hypnotised
• A rapport between the client and hypnotherapist
• A comfortable environment conducive to relaxation
