Hypnosis can be traced back to early civilizations like the Egyptians, Greeks and Hindu’s. It was referred to as a trance state.

The term “hypnosis” only gained widespread use in the 1880’s, initially amongst those influenced by the developments in France, some twenty years after the death of James Braid  - who adopted the term “hypnotism.”

Almost all of us daydream. Our daydreams tend to be helpful re-living the past or rehearsing for the future. Most of the time they involve some emotion, an important event, a threat, a frustration or hope. In most cases a good fantasy life should be of great value and nothing to be ashamed off.

Most of us know how to daydream and it comes naturally. Through hypnosis we can encourage constructive daydreams and guide fantasies into a more constructive, fruitful and creative area.

Nutrition can make a difference in the health of high-risk patients, yet a research study shows that most medical doctors never even mention it to patients. People who suffer acute pain (trauma induced or surgical) can safely and effectively be helped to recover through a proper diet. Attention to nutrition can even minimise depression. 

A tremendous need exists for better nutrition and ways of enhancing wellness and preventing disease.

People know very little about either profession and do not always have a high regard of what these professionals are capable off. The mission of the psychologist and hypnotherapist is to empower the client to take control of their lives by managing stress, eliminating bad habits and overcoming phobias.

Psychologists tend to use practical exercises to modify behaviour whereas the hypnotherapist uses suggestion.

Hypnosis is a valuable tool for assisting someone to remember past events. This technique is called regression. Hypnosis bypass the conscious mind and access the subconscious mind, which is a vast storehouse of information.

Everything we have ever done has left a mark on our subconscious mind. It is like a computer, it records everything we have ever experienced. In other words it records everything we see, hear, touch, taste, smell and even everything we think.

The mind operates under specific rules. "Rules of the Mind" or often called "Laws of the Mind" are used by hypnotists to explain how the subconscious mind works. The Rules of the Mind were developed out of thousands of hours of hypnotherapy sessions. There are 8 Rules:

Rule 1 – Every Thought or Idea causes a Physical Reaction

Rule 2 – What is Expected Tends to be Realized

Rule 3 – Imagination is more powerful than knowledge when dealing with your own mind or the mind of another

Language is a very useful social behaviour. We are able to recognise our needs and express them verbally. Consciousness can also be seen as a consequence of our ability to communicate – internally with ourselves, and externally with others.  Through communication one person’s experience can be shared with others.

Many events occur in our bodies to which we have no verbal access. However we do have verbal access to the psychological events that occur. We are conscious of those events we talk about, including our own feelings and memories. 

Behavior can be “explained” by discovering its causes – those events that are responsible for its occurrence. If we can describe events that caused the behavior to occur, we have “explained” it.

Although we often find ourselves doing things that we had not planned to do (or had planned not to do) by and large we feel that we are in control of our behaviour. That is, we have the impression that our behaviour is controlled by our consciousness. We consider alternatives; make plans, and then act. We get our muscles moving, we engage in behaviour.

There is a part of the conscious mind called the critical factor. It is like a guard between the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. It has the power to accept or reject suggestions from entering the subconscious mind. Because change is viewed as a threat to the nervous system any suggestions that does not match the existing programming automatically gets rejected. The only way a real change can take place is to get the new programming into our subconscious mind.

Another way to describe the critical factor is the possession of awareness or mental life or having sensations or feelings. Ethics, morality, rights and wrong police the waking mind. It self-imposes rules, restriction and regulates actions and behaviour.

Reincarnation is the belief that the human soul never perishes or dies; it simply passes though a succession of lives. In its basic concept, it had it origin in India sometime near 800 B.C.  Reincarnation is vital to classical Buddhism and Hinduism. Although reincarnation has ancient roots, its more modern popular versions are modification of the ancient, eastern beliefs of Hinduism.

Perhaps the most significant evidence in this regard is the phenomenon of young children spontaneously sharing what appear to be memories of past lives, a phenomenon which has been reported in cultures that do not hold a belief in reincarnation.

Life has placed many demands and pressures on individuals and we are only capable of bearing added responsibilities for a limited period.  Their unconsidered continuation is dangerous. Sometimes people find it difficult to cope with the extra demands of life as they occur. We all have a breaking point.

The body slowly adapts to being under stress but it has far reaching implication to our health. Whatever the origin, stress have the power to reek havoc, not just psychologically but physically too.

Whatever the mind expects tends to be realised. The individual who strongly believes in success strives to bring about favourable circumstances leading to success. On the other hand the person who conceives himself as to be a “failure type” will find some way to fail, in spite of all good intentions.

Expect good things to happen and good things will occur. All mental images become a blueprint and the subconscious mind uses every means at its disposal to carry out the plan.
