Conscious & Unconscious Mind
Our unconscious mind is the part of our mind that is silently working all the time, that part of us that makes our hart beat, takes each and every breath without thought, the functioning of the liver the kidneys etc, it is all operated and finely tuned by our unconscious mind together with the processing and storing thoughts and images all of which are outside of our awareness, without our actual knowledge. It’s where the fundamental core of our beliefs, our views, our abilities, even our emotions and behaviours reside. It’s where we store our inner answers and even though we know is there, we are unaware of what it is doing or telling us.
The unconscious mind is where the power really resides. Hypnosis takes us straight to that unconscious part of our mind using its power implementing positive change and old out of date debilitating fundamental beliefs.
By accessing the unconscious area of the mind and releasing negative images, feelings and emotions and identifying the initial cause of the problem and draw out on a conscious level it can be can dealt with in the most effective and liberating manor.
