Hypnotherapy is not Supernatural

You would have expected me to write about "perception" in this blog but no... there's something that interest me even more.

Today, after my session with a young client, her mother reported to me that someone told her that hypnotherapy is supernatural. We both laughed about it because she sat in for the first session of the therapy and knows how it was done.

For many years, she has sought help from many specialists for her child but none has helped. Reason being that what’s causing the issue is in the mind and only through Hypnotherapy could the child access her own subconscious mind to find out why she was having such issue and learn to resolve it.

There is nothing supernatural to it. I definitely do not possess supernatural power - though that sounded rather cool. Hahaha!

The only power I probably possess is the power of love for life. The only supernatural intervention if there ever were, will be that of the Divine Creator, God.

It is not unusual for people to associate the unknown with supernatural. However, it is becoming less common as we can see the rate of advancement around us is growing tremendously. Mankind used to believe the earth was flat and that had limited their horizon.

Therefore, fear not the unknown but your limiting thoughts and beliefs for these would be the determinants of your growth in life and wisdom. Seek to understand the unknown, then decide to accept or reject.

This incident has made me even more determined to share my knowledge of hypnotherapy through free talks. Education will be the bridge between ignorance and wisdom.
