The word hypnosis comes from the ancient Greek word ‘hypnos’ meaning sleep, but this is a misconception. Hypnosis is NOT sleep. It is a relaxed state with heightened awareness. Even if the person falls asleep during a session, the subconscious listens and is alert. They will return to normal consciousness when asked to, or simply awaken after a short nap. They will feel refreshed, relaxed and have no side effects at all.
In practice, people who are hypnotised often talk with the hypnotherapist and can both answer and ask questions, hear everything that is said very clearly, and are perfectly well aware. However, they may answer questions quickly and intuitively from their unconscious rather than their rational mind. This may help them get to the root causes of their issue more easily.
After the session it is likely for the person to remember what it has been said. However, like anything they hear or learn, they will retain the information that is necessary for them in the present moment. Sessions are usually recorded anyway, so a full record of the session can be provided, if necessary.
What if during the Karmic list I go back to a traumatic event in a current or a past life?
Our memory is ‘stored’ in three levels: the physical, mental and emotional level. The purpose of your therapy is to discover the root cause of your issues which might bring a release in all those levels. As part of the journey towards healing, traumatic events may need to be addressed under a safe nurturing environment. Revisiting traumatic events is usually done speedily to minimize any negative impact on the patient. “Detachment” techniques are used to allow the events to be visited in a gentle way and the touch on your physical body brings you back in the ‘Now’, which helps to minimise any emotional and physical impact.
Are past lives real?
For some clients, according to their beliefs, past lives have a reality for them. Others may view what emerges under hypnosis as our mind creating stories or images in order for us to understand our emotional state. This means that when someone perceives something as being real the body and the mind react accordingly. So whether the memory that arises is real or imaginary is not that important. The ultimate objective is the positive and beneficial changes and healing for the client. Nevertheless, patients are sometimes surprised how the issues they are addressing are so directly related to the past lives that emerge under hypnosis.
Can Realignment Therapy treat any condition?
Realignment Therapy can be used to treat many symptoms especially those linked with stress, as during the treatment we are mentally and physically relaxed. Realignment Therapy works directly with the autonomic nervous system which controls many of our bodily functions and the fascia. This means that it can help also with pain management. Bringing simple relaxation to our body can benefit both the mind and the body.
Sometimes you don’t realize the weight of something you’ve been carrying until you feel the weight of its release.
Can I use Realignment Therapy at home?
Of course! It is an invaluable tool that you can use for life. You will always be given the skills to maintain and continue the work in your own space and time which will speed up your treatments significantly.
The technique is simple and it depends entirely on the person and how committed they are, to bring relaxation and focus where it is needed.
During the Realignment Therapy session will I lose control of myself or get stuck in the hypnotic state?
No, there is no loss of control. Hypnosis helps clients to become more focused in using their own mental abilities constructively. In this way, they can achieve anything they would like as long as they build the right motivation for it.
The subconscious has strong protection and at any time a client can re-alert or choose to ignore suggestions. No one stays hypnotized indefinitely – they will always “come out” of trance within a short time, like waking up from a very relaxing nap. If you are concerned about hypnosis you have seen on TV where people appear to do silly things or things they would not normally do, please bear in mind that your therapist is an experienced registered therapist whose sole motivation is to provide treatment and healing.
During the Realignment Therapy session will I be asleep or unconscious?

Can anyone be hypnotised during the Realignment Therapy?
Yes, anyone can be hypnotized as long as they give permission for this to happen gradually. Some people find it easier to relax than others. Some people are able to go into a trance state more quickly and more deeply than others. About 85% of people can go into at least a light trance, which is enough for them to benefit from Realignment Therapy.
Will Realignment Therapy work if I don’t believe in it?
You may experience the benefits of the treatment without believing in its underlying philosophy. However, it’s probably best if you decide to enter into the treatment with an open mind so you will be open to the possible long-term benefits after treatment.
How do I know whether Realignment Therapy is right for me?
Realignment Therapy is frequently an emotional journey where clients dig deep and discover a lot about themselves, with rewarding results. I will have a long consultation with you prior to treatment, which will enable me to determine what the best way for you to move forward is. Trust that your body knows exactly what you need as every time towards the end of each treatment, and while you are in the hypnotic state, I ask how many days your body needs to adjust to the changes and anything else you need. This means that we go according to your limits by nurturing yourself in each step.
What is the difference between Realignment Therapy and other therapies?
All therapeutic systems have been created by (usually) charismatic and inspirational teachers, mainly through spiritual inner guidance and hard work. Most systems are like the rays of a sun that are all connected with the main source of light. This shows that comparison between the systems is unnecessary. They are all part of the one. The only reason I state the differences between Realignment Therapy and other techniques is just for the sake of our mind and to understand the stages of our evolution!
Like art, therapy is constantly evolving. Every system that is born is created according to the needs of each era. This is why direct comparison may be inappropriate, as the needs are completely different in each era, even though we have some basic foundations that we can refer to. Without those solid roots of ancient wisdom we wouldn’t be able to build something new and evolve gradually.
