A. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. One is in control at all times. Behavior is controlled by the conscious and subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is unable to discriminate, it accepts as fact any information. The conscious mind evaluates and compares information, blocking the information that it has decided the subconscious mind does not want or need.
Hypnosis temporarily bypasses the conscious mind allowing access to the subconscious mind.
Behavioral changes are then experienced through suggestions. Just like a computer when you update or replace the software. H abits are the results of both conscious and subconscious processing. It is important to address behavioral changes on both fronts simultaneously, to create a working partnership between the conscious and the subconscious. It is the ultimate means of heightening motivation by programming the subconscious mind to work in cooperation with conscious desires.
