Many people believe that Hypnosis or self hypnosis requires us to give control of our mind to the hypnotist. This belief is largely born from the general perception of stage hypnosis, and is actually entirely incorrect.

Almost all of us are hypnotised every day of our lives. Many of the things we do, from walking the same route to work, driving a car, making a cup of coffee... we do without much conscious thought. If fact, rather than being 'out of control' a hypnotic or 'trance' state is actually a heightened state of awareness, a condition in which we are open to suggestion. No hypnotist, or any other therapist, can cause you to do things that you, yourself, do not want to do. You cannot be compelled to act in ways which are dangerous to you physically, that are against your own morals or that you would find offensive in a normal 'un-hypnotised' state. If you have been the 'victim' of a stage hypnotist, you may have done silly things to entertain the audience, but if you did not have the will to entertain in the first place, you would not have taken part would you? The hypnotists power lies in the ability to get you to that state of heightened awareness, to open the subconscious and then 'upload' the new, improved 'files' that you have requested.

The key to success in any life coaching course, is not to simply choose a few things you think you'd like, but to focus on your goals and understand why they are so important to you. You have to develop the desire to achieve. This may not be as easy as it sounds. Sure, we'd all like to make more money, live in bigger houses, drive nicer cars. We have to be able to understand why those things are important to us as individuals. A life coach can give you the tools to get there, show you how to use those tools and encourage you along the way, but at the end of the day, the effectiveness of the course lays firmly in your own hands. You just need to approach it one step at a time.
