DEFINITION OF HYPNOSIS

Hypnosis is a natural state of pleasant awareness, relaxation and concentration, similar to the one we experience every evening when we're about to fall asleep.

The hypnotized subject becomes very sensitive to suggestion, as the unconscious is more receptive than in the waking state.

Hypnosis is not just a technique, but a therapeutic approach and even a philosophy of life.

Indeed, hypnosis is a particular disposition - a state of openness to the richness of life, both within and without. The experience of hypnosis teaches us to distance ourselves from our belief patterns, to let our creativity unfold.

A person under hypnosis does not sleep, but retains 100% of their personality and memory. Without memory, the hypnosis session would be useless, since the aim is to improve the subject's quality of life through positive suggestions.

You're in a state of hypnosis when you're reading a fascinating book, watching a film or even driving a car: time seems shorter, and you feel emotions provoked solely by the power of the mind.

You can't be hypnotized without your knowledge: the hypnotherapist applies a technique with the client's consent, with the aim of helping him or her. There is no question of putting others to sleep or manipulating their thoughts.

It's completely harmless, and no one has ever remained in a state of hypnosis indefinitely because the therapist disappeared during the session. It's a state of deep concentration that you can't stay in for long without the hypnotherapist's help.
