Are you a good hypnotic subject?

Some clients come to me with the worry that they can’t be hypnotised and tell me that their minds are far too busy to relax. Sometimes they challenge me to see if I can do it which is odd as they have paid already to come and do it which means that they will go into a trance without fighting it as that would be silly!

This for me is perfect as they are brilliant hypnotisable subjects and probably with me doing very little as they hypnotise themselves daily with powerful suggestions based on their past or futures. They are so good at hypnotising themselves that their suggestions become extremely powerful and have to be obeyed!

They spend a lot of time and energy trying to avoid those hypnotic suggestions which have a horrible habit of becoming self fulfilling prophecies, makes for quite an anxiety based life.

Some clients go into a trance before I get to say get comfortable, they sit there and whilst describing their problem go off into an alternate state that again is so powerfully suggestive. Tears can flow, stomachs can feel sick, age can regress and you can see in their eyes that they are somewhere else, experiencing something that is somewhere in the mind. It runs like a movie with a full sensory experience; forget 3D television this is the real deal.

That is a great time to do the work and the changes can begin to be seeded deep within the subconscious mind. I love the fact that my clients have all the resources already deep within to help create those powerful life changes. I feel like someone digging for oil as when exploring the mind, suddenly there can be a wonderful flow of self realisation that they no longer have to live their life that way.

Are you a good hypnotic subject? Well if you often find yourself daydreaming, wondering how you got from A to B in your car without remembering the journey, have a wandering mind that goes to the past and future makes you feel all sorts of emotions, then yes you are a great subject!

The myth is that you have be weak minded to be hypnotised, this is a load of rubbish as we are all able to go into trance quite easily in our own way. I take myself into trance whilst running along the seafront and program my mind with some very creative suggestions to help me with my life and it works a treat.

Maybe you will notice your mind wandering into trance today maybe whilst looking at the spiral below what positive message could you give yourself?

Allow your eyes to softly focus in the centre of the swirl and let your mind and body relax with each breath you take.
