As I’ve experienced it, hypnosis is a natural imaginative process that's available to all. I believe evolution created this process for us to clear out and update old deep-seated habits of mind – especially those deep unconscious beliefs that are no longer currently helpful.
To survive and thrive as an individual - and to tell us what to do next, we are constantly comparing - if what we sense is happening around us - makes sense to our our model of the world and to the deeply held beliefs of who we are – The Beliefs we’ve taken a Lifetime to Make.
And we mightily protect our world model – after all, it IS who we are. We are critical of anything that might disrupt these, our deep beliefs. Protecting your belief about yourself and how the world works – is the primary way we all are continually able to maintain our conscious awareness – even if it means discounting & disbelieving the truth of what we currently sense and see around us.
In hypnosis you create a process, a state of mind, that temporarily gets around this guarding critical faculty. This temporary state provides you with a more direct access to your unconscious processes. And with the right help, I believe this special "hypnotic access" allows you to integrate more useful suggestions - that would otherwise not get thru - and thus you are able to more easily change the effect of older, less useful, stored mis-understandings.
