Your unconscious mind is responsible for looking after your emotions, feelings and memories, as well as, controlling all of your automatic functions, such as, breathing, walking, driving and most of your other behaviours.

It is here in your unconscious mind where the lasting changes that you are looking for need to happen and by offering positive suggestions to your unconscious mind - you can do this.

However, have you ever wondered why, although you have already tried to make these changes to yourself many times in the past, you only had varying degrees of success?

It's because the logical conscious mind filters the flow of information into the unconscious mind, and as a consequence of this - your unconscious mind often does not "hear" the full message, and so can't act fully upon it.

The role of the hypnotist is to talk to you in a special way, using stories and relaxing language so that your conscious mind wanders off. Then while you settle down into a wonderful and safe hypnotic rest (like the dreamy time between sleeping and waking) your unconscious mind is left fully open to receive the positive suggestions for change that have been agreed beforehand.

Importantly, even though you are in a relaxed and calm state you are still aware of events around you. You can relax safely in the knowledge that the unconscious mind will not respond to any command that endangers you or is in anyway inappropriate to you.

Hypnosis was approved by the British Medical Association over 40 years ago and this popular and safe form of therapy is widely recognised as the key to safe rapid behavioural change.
