Caring for the Soul with Hypnosis

​

 

There has never been a more crucial time in society for taking back some of our soul. With ever increasing demands upon our time and energy, we are often left wondering “What’s it all for?”  The hectic pace of modern life can be highly stimulating for our intellects, yet may leave our hearts without peace or fulfilment,

 

The gentle art of clinical hypnosis offers the perfect way to safely begin recovering a piece of our soul and help remember the reason and purpose for our journey in life. Effective clinical hypnosis assists us in letting go of tensions and resistances to the flow of life within, and around us. This enables us to let more of our inner self- soul, communicate with and into the world. When we allow and experience this movement toward a greater free-being by releasing defensiveness and negative emotions or feelings, then we can come to learn of our genuine strengths, creativity, healing capacity and inner capabilities- the qualities of soul. In hypnosis we may slip ‘out of time’, the constraints of conscious controls and experience an encounter with soul. We gain knowledge of who we are at a deeper, or ‘soul’ level of being.

​

The way to healing relief, clarity of purpose and transformation lies in realising that each of us already contains the innate capacity and strength of being that we need to flourish in the world, even as it is right now, Hypnosis may assist us in uncovering the source of wisdom and sincere effectiveness by releasing the false, insecure beliefs and resistances within, and helping uncover a greater authenticity of being.

The celebrated scholar and mythologist Joseph Campbell talked of the need for ”…a room, or a certain hour of the day, where you don’t know what was in the newspapers that morning, you don’t know who your friends are, you don’t know what you owe anybody, you don’t know what anybody owes you. This is a place where you can simply experience and bring forth what you are and what you might be. This is the place of creative incubation.”

​

Hypnosis can offer guidance into this place- an inner focus of attention that can connect us to our deeper, or inner self and strengthen the relationship with soul. A safe and effective way to explore, discover and connect with the expanse of possibility in the unconscious self. Hypnosis takes naturally occurring shifts of attention and consciousness and arranges them into a formal bridging-practice designed to help us slip out of our regular waking consciousness and enter the vast resources of our unconscious in order to access deeper knowing. 

 

Approaching hypnosis in a ‘soulful’ way is a deep healing act of being. Taking the time, and putting aside time, in a hypnosis session to simply allow ourselves to be provides the space and conditions to begin to encounter soul again. Sinking into one’s centre of being, away from the pull and rush of everyday life demands, is not an escape or denial of the outer world, but a deep, primal remembering- that there is more to life, more to ourselves in mind, body and spirit and more profound ways of being and connecting with the world around us. This ‘soulful’ hypnotic approach offers an opportunity to care for our deepest self and confirm our innate resources. Using the guided practice of hypnosis to encounter a deeper part of our self in ease and safety, is to both validate and care for the soul. Caring for the soul is a step toward:

​

Authentic self-expression and being in the world

Clarification of our calling in life

Regaining meaning and purpose

Revealing character strengths and inner resources

Uncovering peace in our heart

Greater acceptance of our unique self

Contributing to society and other in new ways

Renewed vitality and enthusiasm for life

Deeper relationship with others and oneself

Healing at the deeper level of mind and body
