We generally have a perception of those things, which we call reality. We see things from our perspective and to us that is the reality of the situation. What we often forget is that we in fact have the choice as to how we perce...

You need to use the resources at your disposal and apply a certain amount of common sense along the way. As a professional, there’s no greater compliment than a referral. If someone recommends me to another potentia... Self Help Barrie St John Tue, 23 Oct 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=195300&ca=Self+Help Essentially, the word hypnosis is just another word for relaxation. Yes hypnosis is brought on by suggestion, but it’s that deep state of relaxation that qualifies hypnosis. I sometimes use the term creative relaxation. When I say that, I’m referring to the fact that it’s the use of hypnosis that I...

People choose to go into this state because they want to achieve a certain change or improvement in a specific p... Self Help Barrie St John Thu, 27 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=187416&ca=Self+Help The whole idea of eye fixation has some merit. It’s true that concentration and focus are key ingredients in achieving hypnosis. And eye fixation was in fact used commonly, decades ago, in inducing hypnosis. The desired state of a hypnotic subject is to have them completely relaxed, eyes closed, so... Self Help Barrie St John Sat, 15 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=184167&ca=Self+Help A person’s susceptibility to hypnosis is dependent on several factors. Whether these factors work together or oppose each other is entirely in the hands of the individual. There are factors that are outside of anyone’s control. They come down to the individual makeup of each person. For instance, if... Self Help Barrie St John Mon, 03 Sep 2007 00:00:00 +0800 http://www.isnare.com/?aid=181131&ca=Self+Help When you see a hypnotist portrayed in a movie, the script was presumably not written by a professional hypnotist, but rather by a writer who is calling upon his own interpretation of hypnosis. Presumably, that interpretation has been fed over the years by misconception. The product of his script co...

In my opinion, those who are successful at hypnotherapy, it really has little to do with their position as a doctor. Like an...
