What Is Hypnosis?
When thinking of hypnosis, many people assume that you will be out of control, barking like a dog, giving away secrets and generally embarassing yourself!. This is due to the 'stage hypnosis' which many of us view for pleasure on TV. In fact, when in hypnosis, you are completely in control and can respond verbally and physically to people and surroundings.
HYPNOSIS IS A NATURALLY INDUCED STATE OF DEEP RELAXATION. FOCUSED CONCENTRATION.
There is nothing untoward about it. The majority of us slip in and out of hypnosis every day. Ever caught yourself daydreaming into the distance, staring into a fire, or been so engrossed in a book you forget about the rest of the people in a room? That is hypnosis, and what a nice feeling it is!
When in hypnosis, your mind and body are completely relaxed. In labour this allows your body to do it's job just the way it was meant to. Easily. Comfortably. And most of all, enjoyably.
