Is hypnosis safe?

Completely. Hypnosis is a non-intrusive therapy where YOU are always in control. There are many myths surrounding hypnosis, including the ideas that people in a hypnotic state may act against their will or reveal private information. These scenarios, often portrayed in books or movies, are fabrications meant merely for entertainment. In truth, the hypnotic state is more like a vivid daydream, where you remain in control. Morals and ethics remain intact, as does your sense of privacy.

Hypnosis is non-invasive and has no side effects. Most people are not aware that they actually undergo hypnosis every day. The trance-like feelings you experience while reading a book, watching a movie, or daydreaming are all hypnotic states characterized by focused attention.

What is a past life regression?

Past Life Regression involves the individual being regressed and guided through an appropriate past life from the first scene they first view, throughout the various periods of the life and eventually through to the death scene.

The Higher Consciousness will select what past life to show the individual and they will be guided through it by the practitioner conducting the session. The past life the Higher Consciousness chooses to show an individual is always relevant to the current life the individual is living now and it is not uncommon for multiple Past Lives to be shown during a single session. The practitioner will navigate an individual through a Past Life using a series of questions to help determine the time period and social setting of the life

What is the Higher Self?
This part of yourself knows all. It is much, much more complex than the subconscious generally dealt with in hypnosis and referred to in psychology. It is not a repository of problems and difficulties, but an immense resource of wisdom, intelligent insight and knowing that can bring real meaning, fulfillment and purpose to your life. Your Higher Self can answer any and every question you have. It knows everything there is to know about you and the life you are living now. Obtaining this information on your behalf is crucial to the healing aspect of the technique as it provides you with comfort, support and greater understanding in many different areas of your life. The Higher Self will only choose to share information that is appropriate at the time and information that will only be of benefit to you.

If it is appropriate, this part of you is also able to provide physical and emotional healing. It may do this instantly or its healing work will continue for days, weeks and even months after your session.

Will I remember anything?
Some people seem to remember bits and pieces, but rarely the entire experience. The session will be recorded, and you will receive the video and audio of your session. You can listen to it and digest it fully at your convenience. Reviewing your process and gaining the wisdom and insights from it is just as important, if not more so, as experiencing it.

Will I lose control of what I say or do during a session?
No, your Higher Self mind will never act against your best interests or values. Although you will be in such a deep and relaxed state that may cloud your memory and conscious interaction at times. It will never say or do anything that will leave you exposed or vulnerable. So, in this sense you are totally in control.

If your conscious mind was concerned, at worst you would not be able to go into a state of hypnosis to begin with, or you may regain full consciousness and so interrupt the session. It is important to note here that you will also have the opportunity during the interview process to get to know your hypnotherapist, to address any concerns and to learn about the high level of integrity and respect that is a vital part of the In the Light Hypnosis process.

What can a past life regression do for me?

It can explain current difficulties and challenges and help you to find appropriate solutions. It can find the cause of runaway and unexplained emotions, anxieties and fears that overwhelm you. It can help you understand why you are experiencing difficult relationships and to bring them to some resolution. Past life regression can explain your attraction or dislike for people, objects or places. It will help you find lost items and even lost time.

It can help you find gifts and abilities that you have had in the past so you can take advantage of them today. It can also help you overcome physical challenges if it is appropriate. If not, you will certainly gain clear understanding of them. A regression can help you find relief from ailments that are often considered psychosomatic including depression, addictions, anxieties, and phobias. It most often helps you find your life purpose and direction.

How many sessions would I need for a full treatment?

Most people only need one session. More sessions could be added if you like. If so, I can prepare you to access a desired state of relaxation quickly, thereby shortening the follow-up session considerably. I also give a generous discount for follow-up sessions, since they are shorter in length.

Will it make a difference if I don’t believe in past lives or reincarnation?

No. Beliefs are not necessary to the Higher Self. Whatever your questions, it is still the source of all answers and will help you in ways that will surprise you. The innate drive of our minds, especially our deeper subconscious minds, is to help us reach balance, fulfillment, understanding and happiness.

What is the best way to approach my hypnosis session?

Approach it with an open mind and the curiosity of a child, with zero expectations. Like anything, as soon as you remove any expectations from a pending experience it has the opportunity to pleasantly surprise you as it unfolds.

What will I feel under Hypnotic Trance?

At no time the subject is asleep or lose consciousness. The experiences can be auditory (as if listening), visual (as if seeing) or kinesthetic (sensations they feel). Nobody does things against their moral principles. The hypnotized person has control over what to do with their code of ethics and moral principles; if he does something immoral under hypnosis it is because there was also the possibility to do so in conscious state. Logically, the risk of something wrong is lower when the person is accompanied by a friend or family during the process.

Upon awakening the patient can remember everything, partially or nothing. This depends on several factors, including the orders of the hypnotist and traumatic experiences. No one stays hypnotized. If left in this state, the hypnotic dream becomes natural and the person awakes sometime later normally. Hypnosis as such has no danger. What can happen is that in trying to “wake up” quickly to a subject that is in a very deep state, present difficulty in doing so, as can happen to anyone at physiological sleep, when you feel you want to wake up and your body does not obeys. In some shows this has been the case, and they called a doctor, reporters, a priest, they take him to the hospital and then they say that hypnosis is dangerous. Actually, it was enough to wait for the pass trance itself to natural sleep, or give an order that in 10 minutes, for example, “wake up peacefully”.

Can I Record My Own Session?
No, your session will be recorded as an audio recording and a video recording.  It will be uploaded onto a new 32 or higher GM USB flash drive that you bring with you or the files can be sent to you electronically.  Cynthia Renee Meeks retains the rights to the recording.

Can I Bring a Friend or Relative to My Session?

Nobody else will be permitted to stay during the session.
