A hypnotic state is entered into for therapeutic purposes and is simply a state of deep relaxation, similar to that of prayer or meditation, and is reached by focusing the mind. Hypnosis has several advantages for emotional healing. See Hypnosis Myths In hypnosis The subconscious mind is accessible. 90% of the mind exists below consciousness including the functions of inner wisdom, creativity, intuition, emotions, the mind-body connection and the soul. In normal consciousness only 10% of the mind is accessed. Mental-emotional healing is significantly faster and more thorough than with psychotherapy alone. Heightened inner awareness occurs, increasing our focus, understanding and receptivity to healing suggestions. It is possible to access the body-mind to clarify emotional issues underlying physical problems to support physical healing.
