Q: What is Hypnosis/Hypnotherapy?
A: The primary goal of hypnosis is to access the subconscious mind. This is the part of our mind that lies beneath ordinary consciousness (rationalization and analysis of the conscious mind); beneath the constant bombardment of outside stimuli that assaults our awareness. The subconscious mind functions at a level deeper than our usual level of awareness. We experience intuition, creativity, and wisdom when these subconscious processes flash into our conscious awareness. We are in hypnosis when we reconfigure the mind so that the subconscious mind plays a more dominant role over the conscious mind.
The subconscious mind is not limited by our self-imposed boundaries of space, logic, and time. It can remember everything from any time. Hypnotherapy accesses the wisdom of the subconscious in a focused way in order to achieve healing.
There is a broad spectrum of hypnotic techniques. Hypnosis is what is used during Advanced Hypnotherapy. There is a distinct difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy. Hypnosis is generally very basic and the purpose is to access our subconscious mind and “override” the current information. That does not work effectively or efficiently for most problems and it is unlikely that the results will last. Why don’t the results last with basic hypnosis? Because you can try to feed new information into your subconscious mind but if the new information is too much in conflict with what’s already in there (this is the case most of the time) then the subconscious mind will just “kick it out” in a few days or weeks and you’re back to where you started.
As explained earlier, Advanced Hypnotherapy does not just “override” the information that is already in your subconscious mind, it gets to the EXACT ROOT CAUSE and EXTRACTS it and then updates it. This allows the changes to be permanent. You and Dr. Keli change that information together. You are actively participating!
Dr. Keli has found that most people can easily go into the hypnotic state if they are educated about it and their fears are allayed. The majority of the public has misconceptions about hypnosis because of the way television, movies, and stage shows have depicted it.
When you are hypnotized, you are not asleep and you are not unconscious. Your conscious mind is always aware of what you are experiencing while being hypnotized. Despite the deep subconscious contact, your mind can censor, criticize, and comment. You are always in control of what you say and you will not do or say anything you don’t desire. When you’re in hypnosis you do not enter a “time machine” and suddenly find yourself transported to another time with no awareness of the present moment.
Brian Weiss, M.D., a psychiatrist and graduate of Yale Medical School states in his book, Through Time Into Healing, “Hypnosis puts the patient in a state that holds great potential for healing by giving the patient access to the subconscious mind. To speak metaphorically, it puts the patient in the magical forest that holds the healing tree. But if hypnosis lets the patient into that healing country, it is the regression process [Advanced Hypnotherapy] that is the tree that holds the sacred berries he or she must eat to heal. Regression therapy [Advanced Hypnotherapy] is the mental act of going back to an earlier time, whenever that time may be; in order to retrieve memories that may still be negatively influencing a patient’s present life and that are probably the source of the patient’s symptoms.”
DR. KELI'S MISSION STATEMENT:
"My ultimate goal is to make the world a more peaceful and happy place one person at a time. I truly believe that each and every person I empower and assist to heal adds up... and the end result equals many. Now, more than ever, we need to spread the tiding of goodwill to those around us. In order to spread peace and happiness, we must first have it inside ourselves. We need to feel good about who we are, where we are at, and where we are going. We need to let go of pain, anger, hopelessness and fear and any other feelings that are holding us back. We can't give to someone what we don't have ourselves. We may have a beautiful and perfect looking teapot on the outside, but if the inside of the pot is empty, if there's no water in it... then we have nothing to offer anyone except an empty pot. Hypnotherapy can help you fill your pot with goodness."
