Hypnotist Cork- Andrew Z Hypnotherapy

  The Secrets of Hypnosis: A Window Into the Mind Hypnosis has long been shrouded in mystery, often portrayed as a mystical force that grants hypnotists power over the unsuspecting. But the truth is far more fascinating—and far more practical. If you’re skeptical, think of hypnosis as guided imagery , a tool that harnesses the natural power of your mind to create deep focus and transformation. The Science Behind the Trance Despite its dramatic reputation in pop culture, hypnosis is a well-documented psychological phenomenon. When in a hypnotic state, the brain enters a unique zone between wakefulness and sleep—an altered state of awareness where the subconscious becomes more receptive to suggestion. This is not mind control but rather an intentional redirection of focus, much like when you’re deeply engrossed in a book or movie and lose track of time. Studies in neuroscience have shown that hypnosis alters brain activity, enhancing areas responsible for imagination and reducing...

  The Importance of Practice in Hypnosis: Ways to Enhance Your Skills As a distance learning hypnosis lecturer, I understand that practicing hypnosis can challenge many students. That’s why I’ve written this column—to help you find effective ways to practice your hypnosis skills and build confidence in your abilities. Ralph Slater- Hypnotist from the 1940s Find Volunteers One of the best ways to practice hypnosis is to work with volunteers who are interested in the process. Finding willing participants helps you refine your techniques and gain hands-on experience. Here’s a simple script to use when looking for volunteers: Imagine you’re in a social situation, attending evening classes at a community college, or participating in a book club—anywhere you meet people, even online. You can say: “Hello, I’m a hypnotist, and I’m doing research on some techniques that can help people feel good. If you’re facing challenges like stress, confidence issues, or weight loss, I can help y...

Healing the Wounds of the World & Reclaiming Your Voice By Andrew Z Life has a way of leaving marks on us. Harsh words, rejection, disappointment—the world sometimes wounds us in ways that make us shrink, doubt ourselves, or silence our own voice. But the truth is, no wound is permanent, and no voice is ever truly lost. Healing is always possible. The first step to healing is  recognition   acknowledging the pain instead of burying it.  Every scar carries a story, but it does not define you. You are not the hurt you have endured; you are the strength that rises from it. Next, rebuild trust in yourself. Confidence is not about being perfect; it’s about embracing your uniqueness. Speak, even if your voice shakes. Express yourself, even if fear lingers. Every time you honor your truth, you reclaim the power that life tried to take from you. And most importantly, forgive—not for others, but for yourself. Holding onto pain only keeps you bound to it...

The Power of Happiness & Thankfulness By Andrew Z In the pursuit of happiness, many people search for something external—a new job, a relationship, or material success. But true happiness is not something we chase; it is something we cultivate from within. And one of the most powerful ways to do that is through thankfulness. Gratitude shifts our focus from what is missing to what is already present. When we take time to appreciate the simple blessings in life the warmth of the sun, a kind word, or even the breath we take we open the door to deeper joy. Science even confirms that gratitude rewires our brain, reducing stress and increasing overall well-being. Happiness and thankfulness go hand in hand. When we are thankful, we naturally feel happier. When we are happy, gratitude flows effortlessly. It’s a cycle of abundance that we can tap into at any moment. So, how can you invite more happiness into your life today? Take a deep breath. Close your eyes. Think of three th...

Hypnosis: Science, Pseudoscience, and the Space In Between Hypnosis has long lived in the gray area between science and myth. Some see it as a powerful therapeutic tool, while others dismiss it as a stage trick. So, where does the truth lie? The answer, like hypnosis itself, depends on how you approach it. On the scientific side , hypnosis has real, measurable effects. Studies show it can help with pain management, anxiety, and even irritable bowel syndrome (IBS) . Brain scans reveal that hypnotized individuals experience actual neurological changes, especially in areas related to focus, perception, and pain regulation. This isn’t magic—it’s neuroscience. That said, hypnosis also has its pseudoscientific pitfalls . Claims that it can unlock repressed memories or act as a mind-control tool don’t hold up under scrutiny. The mind is suggestible under hypnosis, which makes it more likely to create false memories rather than retrieve hidden truths. Then there’s the more es...

The Person as a Whole A person is more than a name, a face, or a fleeting presence in the world. They are a universe within themselves woven from thoughts, emotions, dreams, and experiences. They are the laughter shared in quiet moments, the kindness extended when no one is watching, the resilience that rises after every fall. A person is their past, shaped by lessons learned and wounds healed. They are their present, navigating life’s uncertainties with courage. They are their future, a canvas of endless possibilities, painted with the colors of hope and determination. Beyond achievements and struggles, beyond success and failure, a person is defined by their heart the love they give, the light they bring, and the connections they nurture. They are the stories they tell, the wisdom they share, and the impact they leave behind. A person, in their wholeness, is not just a single note but a symphony. And in that music, the world finds its beauty.
