Hypnosis is powerful because it empowers us to make the beneficial changes from within, instead of feeling hopeless and helpless. It gives us hope and control back. We no longer need to remain stuck in our old patterns. Once we understand that the subconscious mind only created those patterns as coping skills during our early years of childhood, we can change those beliefs. We cannot choose our parents or the family we were born into, but as adults we can take responsibility to change these old patterns. We can communicate with the subconscious mind through hypnosis, to release those old patterns and live life from a state of clarity, calmness, inner strength and resilience. We now can respond to life instead of re-acting to life from old patterns. We can get the subconscious mind to get on board and be in alignment with our conscious desires. Now, both the conscious and subconscious minds, can work together in harmony and move us towards what we want. It’s like getting 100% mind power working for what we want without resistance.
