-Speaker: Sharon Mitchell- Certified Master Hypnotist
-What is hypnosis?
-Every hypnotist would say something different
-She believes it is a super-relaxed state when frequency of brain waves
slow down
-Hypnosis is her passion
-Our minds are the driving force of what we are
-We have both conscious and unconscious minds
-When the conscious mind is not alert, subconscious steps up
-For example, when you get to work but don’t remember it
-Hypnosis has been used for centuries and for multiple purposes
-Surgeries have been performed with no anaesthesia
-Psychologists like Milton Erikson used hypnosis to eliminate some
symptoms
-Olympic athletes have used it
-Today, doctors and nurses are being taught how to speak in operating
room
-Hypnosis is a way to regress someone
-This can receive a trauma and have them eliminate it
-Not portrayed correctly in the movies:
-Hypnosis cannot make you do or say something you do not want to do
-You always come out of it
-Why did she become a hypnotist and what does she do?
-She wanted to do something to help people
-She is a former EMT and hospice worker
-Helps with remembering, learning, weight loss, quit smoking, etc.
-Studied at the Institute for Hypnosis in Okemos
-She has used past life regressions
-She is willing to do “super-learning” parties if a group is interested
-Helps you learn faster and absorb more
-Stresses that you can hypnotize yourself by getting into a deeply relaxed state
-A lot of good can be done using hypnosis
