Why Hypnotherapy?
Life flows. If we were healed, it would flow through our whole
being. The moments would pass through us without creating any
disturbance in our mind and body. We would live in harmony with
ourselves and with all life around us. However, we restrict this
easy flow as we try to defend ourselves against life. Either we try
to obscure our perception of painful situations or we try to cling
to pleasurable ones. These defensive and manipulative measures
change the actuality of the moment by limiting the instrument of our
experience - our mind-body system.
These limitations will further alter the way we perceive and respond
to reality in the future. The painful experiences we wish to reject,
remain with us forever, until we look at them and free them. The
memory of events we could not bear stay frozen in the tissue of our
body. They not only interfere with our ability to perceive, feel,
think and act freely; they also affect our anatomy in harmful ways.
Most of our defenses become fixed in childhood when we are very
impressionable. For children love and recognition are as important
as food and shelter but not every child is loved and recognized.
In order to cope, children make decisions to constrict themselves,
repressing what they know and feel and adapting to their parents'
attitude. The memories of painful experiences remain trapped in
our body. Through all the years to come, they preserve the
emotional charge of the moment as well as the mind set we were at
the time.
Hypnotherapy, especially in connection with the healing arts,
is the most efficient tool for healing that we have in present times.
Since we communicate with the subconscious mind in hypnotherapy,
repressed memories can easily be brought into the light of our
awareness and our compassion, and thus can be finally be released.
The conflicting voices can be uncovered and balance can be
established.
The rich and various techniques of modern transpersonal and/or
integrational hypnotherapy awaken the blocked currents of life in
the body and allow a person to become more fully alive. We begin
to live with more confidence and trust. Our body heals and
rejuvenates. Our mind becomes clearer, our senses sharper.
We are able to make decisions based on our own inner wisdom and
walk in the direction of the fulfillment of our desires.
