Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and deep relaxation in which the busier, analytical conscious mind becomes quieter and more receptive to positive suggestions. In this state, the subconscious mind—where habits, emotions, memories, and patterns are stored—can be accessed more easily and directly, allowing for meaningful insight and lasting change. It’s similar to the feeling you get when you’re fully absorbed in a good book, movie, or even a long drive—you’re awake and aware, but your attention is turned inward.

Despite some of the myths out there, hypnosis is not mind control, and you never lose control. In fact, during a hypnotherapy session, you remain fully aware and in charge at all times. You can speak, move, and even choose to open your eyes if you wish. It’s a gentle process, and nothing happens without your consent. Many people find hypnosis not only effective but deeply calming and restorative—an experience that helps them reconnect with their own inner wisdom and power to change.

Hypnotherapy is a gentle, focused process that helps you access the deeper part of your mind—where positive and lasting change begins. In a relaxed yet alert state, your conscious mind quiets, allowing you to explore thoughts, habits, and emotions at their root. This opens the door for insight, healing, and new patterns to take hold—whether you're looking to reduce anxiety, overcome fears, heal old wounds, or explore past lives. At From the Heart Hypnotherapy, sessions are always collaborative, respectful, and designed to help you reconnect with your own inner wisdom and capacity for change.
