Hypnosis: How can it help your Spiritual Growth and Development?

Hypnosis is a natural, yet altered state of awareness where our brain wave activity relaxes so that we may listen more intently to our own inner wisdom – that little voice within we so often neglect to hear – yet is the key to our Spiritual Growth and Development.

Some call this little voice the sub or super conscious mind, others Spirit, Soul or Higher Self, or that part of us that does not enter into the stream of time; that part of us that is all knowing and ever present, loving and prospering; that part of us that is the ability to observe our self. It is all this, and more, as that which we observe is not who we really are – it is just part of the illusion of Self.  So this little voice within is then perhaps the voice of who we really are – and therefore the key as to why we’re really here.

One of the biggest misconceptions, or illusions, of all times is that we are the roles we play in life or the reflection in the mirror. But there is a witnessing self, a part of us that is able to observe all aspects of our self. This is the real Self; for that which can be observed is not who we truly are.

Hypnosis is a pathway to connect to this ever present, witnessing Self. You ever had that feeling that I am these thoughts, but I’m not these thoughts? I am these emotions, but I’m not these emotions? When we connect with this part of us that does not enter into the stream of time, we encounter a state of being that knows exactly what we are here to do and has the ability to walk the path we intended to walk – in spite of the stories that run the story of our life.  In this way the path becomes the goal as we walk it to the true discovery of who we are and the work we really intended to do here.

So hypnosis is simply a change in perspective.  Most people seeking out a hypnotherapist are waking up to the notion that things in their life just aren’t adding up. “It shouldn’t be this hard.” “I know this way of being isn’t healthy for me, yet I keep being this way.” “Nothing seems wrong, yet I’m not satisfied.” “I feel this way, but I’m not this way.” Etc, etc, etc.

In other words, more and more people are becoming consciously aware that they have been living their life unconsciously and want to begin living more consciously.  It’s like the young child who asked her father, “Daddy you know when you’re asleep you can wake up.  Well when you’re awake, can you wake up more?” A very profound question indeed, especially coming from a 4 year old.  But the answer is YES.  And hypnosis helps us to wake up to ourselves by giving us the tools to turn within and connect with our own inner wisdom (and not that of the therapist!). 

Those who are ready to put the work in and work on themselves can take advantage of accelerated learning time now. Now is the time for growth, as more people than ever before in the history of our planet, are waking up to higher levels of consciousness.
