This is the ‘offical’ website for the Kauai Hypnosis Practice group. First I would like to give you a general idea of what hypnosis is. According to the late Dave Elman, hypnosis is “The bypass of the critical factor of the conscious mind followed by selective acceptable suggestion.” Another definition via wikipedia is:
Hypnosis is a distinctive, often trance-like mental state that is induced by an organized pattern of suggestions, usually verbal in nature, beginning with the suggestion of relaxation. The suggestions may be directly induced by a hypnotist in the presence of the subject, but may be also be self-induced (self-hypnosis or autohypnosis/auto-suggestion).
This group was started by me, Antonio Perez, to help facilitate a better understanding of hypnosis/hypnotherapy and to allow people to practice the skills of hypnosis in a safe and positive environment. NOTE: We will not attempt to practice any hypnotherapy skills, unless we are being supervised by a trained professional. Hypnosis is a powerful tool that can help people to change and grow in positive ways, when utilized by a qualified professional.
If you are thinking of participating in the practice group, I am asking that you please enroll in HMI’s (Hypnosis Motivation Institute) free online hypnosis/hypnotherapy course. It is not mandatory to enroll in this course, but it will help to give the group a direction to focus upon. The course consists of seven two hour videos, with a quiz after each video.
