you will consider me to be a normal guy; no turbans, gaudy costumes, and cheap jewelry can be found on my person. I am here to break a myth, and I am here to say that hypnotherapy is both a science and art.
It is a science because hypnotherapy is being widely practiced today for clinical psychology and its healing properties. People the world over are waking up to the reality of hypnosis being able to cure innumerable lifestyle and personality maladies. From low confidence to sexual issues, from smoking to weight loss… people seem to be benefiting from the effects of hypnosis for a variety of problems. Hypnosis is a science because it deals with our minds – the subconscious mind. A lot of research has been undertaken to understand the way our mind functions; and one of the astounding discoveries was, that our conscious minds are constantly being directed by the more powerful, yet subtle subconscious. So, in truth our subconscious is the real driving force behind all our thoughts and actions; our conscious minds constantly ruminating over the feedback given to it by our subconscious. And hypnotherapy’s underlying belief lies in the power of our subconscious.
Hypnotherapy can also be an art, simply because it can be mastered with practice. Something like learning to play a flute, or learning to paint. While we may have the natural flair to be artists, we need to hone our talent. Similarly hypnosis takes practice and patience, before we can see positive results. It is also an art because it deals with humans and human feelings such as jealousy, guilt, shame, which have been so well represented over the years in literature. Hypnotherapy is an art also because individuals who have mastered it can use it for lighthearted entertainment
