of mind as many people in the field still refer to it. We now recognize
that hypnosis is actually a natural and normal state of consciousness.
We owe our understanding of the nature of hypnosis to the world
famous Dr. Milton H. Erickson, M.D. (1902 to 1980). Dr. Erickson
published more than 100 original papers. His work and his research
have contributed more to our understanding of hypnosis than any other
individual who has ever lived.

A History of Ericksonian Hypnosis by Douglas O'Brien

Dr. Erickson was the first to recognize that hypnosis is not a altered
state at all but rather it is a natural normal state of consciousness that
we all go into and out of many times every day. Dr. Erickson referred to
this natural level of hypnosis as the “common, ordinary, everyday
hypnotic trance.”  We estimate that the average person goes into and
out of this level of hypnosis at least 300 and 500 times everyday. Some
people seem to stay in it most of the time.

Some of the phrases we use to describe this level of hypnosis are “Lost
In Thought,” “Pre-Occupied” and “Day-Dreaming.” (Sometimes the
modern generation refers to this level of hypnosis as being “Spaced
Out.”) People tend to go into this level of hypnosis every time they are
doing something that is mostly automatic. One of the most common
places where this happens is driving.

For most of us, driving has become almost totally automatic.
Consequently, the conscious mind is free to wander and there is a very
strong tendency to become lost in thought, pre-occupied or start day-
dreaming. In other words, you tend to not be paying much conscious
attention to the tasks involved in guiding and directing the vehicle.
Instead, the unconscious mind is taking care of the driving.

The difference between this common level of hypnosis and clinical
hypnosis is that I use your own natural abilities to help you deepen your
experience.

I will begin the Empowerment Hypnosis© induction by asking you to
close your eyes and then I will begin talking to you and giving your
mind Empowerment Suggestions© using specially worded hypnotic
language to help your body you begin to relax and help you enter into
the Empowerment Hypnosis©.

Then I will gently call your attention to different parts of your body to
help you to relax even more completely and give you specially worded
hypnotic suggestions to assist you in gradually merging more deeply
into a pleasant, healthy state of hypnotic trance.

All the while you will maintain full conscious awareness and be fully in
control. (You will not lose conscious awareness unless you happen to
fall asleep.) Then I will give you the appropriate Empowerment
Suggestions© to help empower your unconscious mint to help you
achieve your goals.
Each new day brings with it a chance for a new beginning. The choices you make today
don't have to be influenced by what happened to you in the past. Today, right now, this
to begin changing the undesirable patterns in your unconscious mind that keep you
you to do. Use this moment, right now to make a new and better choice for you.
