We use hypnosis as a way of teaching our clients to relax and also to deal with such everyday problems as stress management and chronic pain. Additionally, we feel that hypnosis can be an excellent way of helping clients get in touch with their own unconscious processes. These are just some of the simpler uses of hypnosis.

Beyond this, hypnosis can serve a much broader function, a more spiritual function. For most of us, the world can be a fairly daunting place. Life teaches us hard lessons, and often we develop the belief that we can't expect a lot of good things to happen to us. Every painful experience we encounter gradually reinforces the perception that life is hard and good things happen mostly to other people. This perspective can lead to a depressed state, an internal emptiness, the feeling of spiritual disconnection, and a persistent restlessness. Hypnosis can help facilitate a personal internal journey, helping access the deepest parts of the subconscious to help discover inner strengths, develop talents, and enhance the quality of life. It can help us wake up to who we truly are, and this is the primary goal toward which we strive at Free Spirit.
