Why Hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind you have already experienced thousands of times. Hypnosis allows you access to the subconscious part of your mind where change and healing occur. Hypnotherapy allows you to re-program your mind at the deepest level, allowing YOU to take charge of your own life. I give a guarantee that, as long as you want to be, you can be hypnotized. Rest assured ~ only the suggestions you choose to accept will take effect. Hypnosis is very relaxing and enjoyable. With the use of hypnosis, change is very rapid and easy.

How Is Hypnotherapy Different than Hypnosis?
Hypnotherapy involves a personal and trusting interaction between therapist and client while the client is in hypnosis. With Hypnotherapy we explore the roots of your particular history and experiences which have brought you to the place in your life in which you find yourself today. Hypnotherapy effects relatively quick healing and change. I find that a specific goal can be reached with permanent healing and change within 5 to 10 sessions.

Christianity and Hypnosis
Janet Field, CCHt, HCHI, CD, BS Early Childhood Development
A significant percentage of my clients and students are Christian – as am I! The way many of my Christian clients and students choose to use hypnosis is to add to the more general suggestions by using the scripture verses which mean the most to them and are deeply encouraging for them. They find this extremely comforting and a very valuable foundation for their success.

Because of the nature of hypnosis, people are in a deeply relaxed state. In this relaxed state, the subconscious mind imprints those words of scripture deeply and directly and responds to and acts on the encouragement – even in the face of possibly difficult circumstances.

For my Christian clients and students, prayer usually becomes an integral part of the process, just as prayer is an integral part of their lives. The only difference is that, with the relaxation of hypnosis, prayers are taken in much, much more deeply and the heart responds to them that much more deeply.

Occasionally someone has expressed concern to me that hypnosis would leave them open to “evil” forces. Let me assure you - when you are using hypnosis, you are the one in control. You are simply relaxed. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. Nobody does it “to you”. You are always in full control of your own thoughts and actions. In fact, I let people know at the beginning of a hypnosis session that, at any time, they can bring themselves back to their full room awareness – much the way you would open your eyes and discontinue a prayer or meditation if you needed your attention on a suddenly pressing matter at hand.

Dr. Larry Nims, a PhD psychologist with over 30 years’ clinical experience, works with clients using hypnosis. Dr. Nims’ works and articles about forgiveness are for a general audience, yet one can see the Lord's hand in Dr. Nims’ work. Following is a paragraph from Dr. Nims.

“At the end of each hypnosis counseling session with all of my Christian clients, I ask them to say a prayer. The prayer focuses on the negative attitudes and actions that were involved in each of the problems that were treated in the session, and it invites the Lord to occupy these places and be the Lord of them. I always encourage Christians to use this prayer every time they use hypnosis on their own or in my office.”

Before and during my own work with students and clients, I like to stop and call on God in prayer, asking that I be used as an instrument of healing love.

A simple search of the web will provide an abundance of additional information on Christianity and hypnosis. Click here to go to one site that contains numerous articles about Hypnosis and Religious Faith. One of the articles that I particularly like is HYPNOSIS AND PASTORAL HYPNOTHERAPY by Rev. Dr. Prentice Kinser III (the fourth article).
