Change your thinking…change your life..

Jackie Maclean MH. CHt

Welcome to The Power Within Hypnotherapy…

What Is Hypnosis?

There is nothing "magical" about hypnosis; Hypnosis is simply an altered state and happens when you are relaxed… almost daydreaming. It is merely a relaxed state of focused attention. By temporarily bypassing your conscious mind, your critical faculties are suspended and you are now open to accepting suggestions. When suggestions are accepted at a subconscious level, you are empowered to make behavioural changes at a deeper level than when you attempt to make changes at the conscious/intellectual level.

How Does Hypnosis Differ from Meditation?

Meditation is a discipline that takes steady practice over a long period of time. The practice involves clearing one’s mind over long periods of time by allowing thoughts to pass by while focusing on a point, a mantra, or some other focus. Often breathing exercises accompany this practice.

A goal of meditation is to detach from your thoughts, and to experience a deep awareness that your thoughts are not you.

One important thing to know about meditation is that it is "content-less." There is no goal aside from the meditation itself. It can lead to many health benefits, including stress relief and peace of mind, but it is not goal-driven.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, is a state of focused attention where the conscious mind is distracted so that work can be done with the subconscious mind directly.

In short, the difference between hypnosis and meditation is that they both bridge the subconscious / conscious interface, with meditation being without content and not goal-driven, while hypnosis has content and is goal-driven.

“Hypnosis helps a person create the behaviours
that lead to the goals they set for themselves."
