Question 1

What can I expect during a typical session?

Accepted Answer

It entirely depends on what modality you choose.

If Hypnotherapy, Hypnosis would be used to communicate directly with the unconscious mind to create changes in alignment with your goal, this would involve the use of suggestion or innumerable more advanced Hypnotherapeutic techniques depending on what is appropriate for you, each session is tailored to the needs of the individual.

If Pranic healing, this involves the scanning, cleansing and energizing of the energy body to rebalance and cause inner healing, the method varies depending on what emotional, psychological or physical required attention.

If EMDR, it is conducted in eight structured phases, which include history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation. It is often used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and other conditions rooted in trauma. Research has shown that EMDR can be highly effective, often providing relief more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone.

Question 2

Is the session safe for everyone?

Accepted Answer

Absolutely! Safety is an important element that I ensure in all modalities I offer.

Question 3

What is Clinical Hypnotherapy

Accepted Answer

Clinical Hypnotherapy is a therapeutic practice that uses hypnosis as a tool to help individuals achieve deep relaxation, heightened focus, and a state of increased suggestibility to facilitate psychological, emotional, and behavioural change. In this state, clients are more open to positive suggestions and can explore thoughts, memories, and emotions that are typically outside of conscious awareness.

During a hypnotherapy session, the therapist guides the client into a relaxed, trance-like state, where the conscious mind becomes less active and the subconscious mind becomes more accessible. This state allows the therapist to deliver carefully structured suggestions that can help the client alter unwanted behaviours, change negative thought patterns, or gain insight into underlying emotional issues. The process is collaborative, with the client always in control and able to come out of the hypnotic state at any time.

Effectiveness of Clinical Hypnotherapy:
Clinical hypnotherapy has been shown to be effective for various conditions, research supports its use in:

Pain Management: Hypnotherapy is widely recognised for its ability to reduce chronic pain, postoperative pain, and discomfort associated with medical procedures. It is often used as a complementary treatment for conditions like fibromyalgia, arthritis, and cancer.

Anxiety and Stress Reduction: Studies have demonstrated that hypnotherapy can significantly lower anxiety levels, reduce stress, and help individuals manage symptoms of panic disorders and generalised anxiety disorder (GAD).

Phobias and Fears: Hypnotherapy is effective in treating specific phobias, such as fear of flying, heights, or spiders, by helping individuals reframe their responses to triggers.

Addictions: It is  used to help individuals overcome addictions, such as smoking or overeating, by reinforcing motivation and altering habitual thought patterns.

Sleep Disorders: Hypnotherapy has shown promise in treating insomnia and other sleep-related issues by promoting relaxation and helping to establish healthy sleep patterns.

Trauma: It can be used to process and released trapped and unprocessed emotions due to PTSD or Trauma.

Empowerment: Hypnosis can be used to empower an individual, whether that is to create confidence, motivation, focus or improve their mindset in any field.

Hypnosis can also help solve innumerable other problems that may not fit into any category.

Overall, clinical hypnotherapy is a safe and non-invasive treatment option with a growing body of evidence supporting its use in various therapeutic contexts.

Question 4

What is Past Life Regression?

Accepted Answer

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can be used to make profound and dramatic positive change within an individual by gaining access and working with the Unconscious mind. An incredibly profound and rare use of hypnosis is to cause healing by accessing the root of a problem that may have occurred beyond this lifetime. Do you believe in past lives? Is it really possible that a problem that we've had all our life is due to something that took place before we were born? Let's explore this fascinating topic of past lives.

If we look at everything in existence. Everything takes place in cycles. At a given location, the sun rises in the morning, it is high above at noon, it sets in the evening and at midnight it is on the other side of the earth, then once again the next day it rises bring about a new day.

A seed in the right conditions may grow into a plant that bears fruit, the fruit contains the seed, that is then scattered and the plant dies and the new seeds grow into a plant once again and the cycle continues.

A large playground may exist for 10 years, until then it is expanded into a school which lasts for 50 years and then it is torn down to build a shopping mall after 60 years that shopping mall becomes a hotel which lasts 70 years until it is then abandoned and broken down and converted into a park with grass and trees.

In some strange way what started as playground  went through many incarnations and ended up as a park.

In this same way is is possible that we as human beings living a human existence have actually lived many times before and our consciousness is never destroyed and awareness continues on after death taking with it impressions of our "actions".

The term "Karma" in Sanskrit means "action". We live in a world full of cycles and these cycles take place out in the physical world, within our mind and also our bodies. These particular cycles are dictated by "cause and effect". There is a certain "cause" that you've done that has lead you here to this article, which is in fact the "effect". In the same way our entire lives right now whether it is positive or negative, is the effect of a cause.

Eastern traditions and ancient western traditions acknowledge the cyclical nature of our earthly lives and the immortal nature of our consciousness. According to yoga, our Karma is what binds us to physical existence and all that brings us pleasure or pain is the result of our actions (karma). So for this reason if there is something that ails us, and we've tried all our lives to solve this particular issue, and we can't seem to find where the root is, is it possible it is due to our actions from the past?

With hypnosis we can gain access to the unconscious mind, that intelligent aspect of yourself that controls your heartbeat, you don't have to keep beating your heart to keep yourself alive, it is done for you. In this same way your unconscious mind is responsible or maintaining various bodily processes, O2 levels, CO2 level, PH, body temperature etc. In addition to this your unconscious mind has access to all of your memories, even those memories that you do not remember. Using hypnotherapy I have worked with clients who have regressed back to being in their mothers womb. You may have consciously forgot how it was like to be in your mother's womb however the unconscious mind never forgets.

In this same way to use a more Jungian approach, our individual unconscious minds are connected to a much broader and greater mind known as the "Collective Unconscious Mind" coined by Carl Gustav Jung. This collective unconscious mind has access to a store house of memory almost like a library with filing cabinets with every life you have lives and every memory from the past. Some may even call this "library" the "Akashic Records".

With Hypnosis, we can gain access to this storehouse of memory and through the unconscious mind with the help of the collective unconscious mind we are able to access the root of a problem that may have been created during a time beyond this time. The individual going through this experience can be guided to recover these memories and using the various therapeutic tools available in hypnotherapy, the specific problem can be processed and the karma cleared. After the connection is severed to the past life event that caused the specific problem the individual can undergo profound healing.

A truly powerful tool that is rarely understood or used to overcome problems that have ailed an individual for all their life. Past life regression can also be used as a tool for spiritual exploration or growth depending on the needs of the seeker.

Question 5

What is EMDR Trauma therapy?

Accepted Answer

Eye Movement Desensitization and Reprocessing (EMDR) Therapy is a specialized form of psychotherapy designed to help individuals process and heal from traumatic experiences. Developed by psychologist Dr. Francine Shapiro in the late 1980s, EMDR integrates elements of several therapeutic approaches but is distinct in its use of bilateral stimulation—typically through guided eye movements, tapping, or auditory tones.

During an EMDR session, the therapist works with the client to identify specific traumatic memories or distressing thoughts. The client then focuses on these memories while simultaneously following the therapist's hand movements with their eyes or experiencing other forms of bilateral stimulation. This process is believed to help the brain reprocess the traumatic memory, reducing its emotional intensity and allowing the individual to gain new insights or a more adaptive perspective on the event.

EMDR is conducted in eight structured phases, which include history taking, preparation, assessment, desensitization, installation, body scan, closure, and reevaluation. It is often used to treat post-traumatic stress disorder (PTSD), anxiety, phobias, and other conditions rooted in trauma. Research has shown that EMDR can be highly effective, often providing relief more quickly than traditional talk therapy alone.

The therapy is grounded in the idea that trauma can disrupt the brain’s natural information processing, and EMDR aims to restore this process, allowing for emotional healing and cognitive clarity.

Question 6

What is Pranic Healing?

Accepted Answer

Pranic Healing is an energy-based healing modality that focuses on the body's life force, or "prana," to promote physical, emotional, and mental well-being. Developed by Grandmaster Choa Kok Sui, Pranic Healing is based on the belief that the body has an innate ability to heal itself, and this process can be accelerated by manipulating the energy, or prana, that flows through and around the body. Pranic Healing does not involve physical touch; instead, it works by cleansing and energizing the body’s energy field, known as the aura, and its energy centers, called chakras.
