Hypnotherapy is a complementary form of therapy in which hypnosis is used to create a state of highly focused attention and concentration associated with relaxation and heightened suggestibility allowing positive suggestions to germinate and take root.

We are looking forward to providing some recordings to assist you to start (or enhance) your practice of self-hypnosis. Practicing self-hypnosis is a great way to increase your ability to facilitate change in your life.

All Integral Hypnotherapy practitioners train co-therapists in the art of self-hypnosis (self-induced hypnotic trance). The following are four qualities of self-hypnosis:

1. Motivation: emotionalized desire to enter trance and facilitate change
2. Relaxation: must be thorough and without distractions - all distracting sounds are used as triggers to deepen trance
3. Concentration: complete mind focus on your purpose
4. Direction: concentrated visualization of the desired result

You may want to integrate a trigger (self-determined and self-enacted) to aid you to go into trance rapidly. It is also common to use a phrase or phrases (auto-suggestions) while in trance to facilitate change.

Send us a message or comment below to let us know what you would like to hear in these recordings..... we will get to work on some recordings soon and these will be posted on our website (hummingbirdintegralhypnotherapy.ca). We are also considering a Youtube channel.... let us know what you think.

What can Hummingbird Integral Hypnotherapy do for you?

So glad you asked.

Hypnotherapy guides you to access your superconscious level of awareness which is your problem solving intelligence giving you access to the universal mind or unity consciousness, infinite intelligence, love, forgiveness, healing, peace, intuition, inspired creativity, etc. (Contact our hypnotherapist to learn more about the Simmerman Sierra Model of the Mind and Results Model.)

At Hummingbird Integral Hypnotherapy, our hypnotherapist (Barbara Smith BSN CMS-CHt FIBH) is skilled in hypnosis and suggestion therapy along with the other proven hypnotherapy methods taught at the Hypnotherapy Academy of America many of which have been scientifically proven to work in clinical research. She is able to guide co-therapists; so named because hypnotherapy is a collaborative process; into a pleasant hypnotic trance where the critical factor of the analytical mind is relaxed allowing for positive suggestions to migrate quickly to the subconscious levels of awareness where they can be accepted and later acted upon. These positive post hypnotic suggestions can have an immediate life altering effect. However, it is a scientific fact that it takes 21 days to form a new habit so we advise co-therapists to do the assigned homework to help ingrain the habit over time. Some changes take a series of sessions in order to ensure success and all changes take an emotionalized desire to change and a commitment on the part of the co-therapist to complete the work.

The positive suggestions are written as a collaborative effort by the hypnotherapist and co-therapist. Each suggestion must be approved by the co-therapist in order for it to be successful. What one person may find acceptable might cause distress to another because of experiential associations. There are no 'cookie cutter' approaches to Integral Hypnotherapy; each session is tailored to the needs and desires of the co-therapist.

Indications for integral hypnotherapy include, but are definitely not limited to:
- pain control (already assessed by a physician)
- accelerated healing (already assessed by a physician)
- stress
- guilty or angry feelings
- low Self-Esteem or shyness
- body image / weight management
- smoking cessation
- lack of motivation
- spiritual growth
- test taking / accelerated learning / memory improvement
- past life / interlife / natal regression
- medical support / complementary care (condition already assessed by a physician)
- forgiveness
- relationship issues
- job performance
- sports / athletic performance
- Self-Confidence
- unwanted habits
- other ............. what do you want to accomplish? ............. contact our hypnotherapist Barbara@hummingbirdhypnotherapy.ca

Our vision is to heal our extended community one mind at a time.

The experience of hypnotic trance is not unfamiliar to us. It feels vaguely like countless other moments in your lives where we become absorbed in a zone, lost in thought, enthralled by happiness, or perhaps simply meditating. It is similar to falling asleep but without losing consciousness. In trance you are able to hear and sense things around you though, usually, your eyes are closed and you are motionless.

Meditation is actually the closest you can come to a state of trance without having ether been guided there by a hypnotherapist or through self-hypnosis.

Trance can be anywhere from very light; which is enough for many hypnotic processes; to extremely deep; which is needed for some trauma reversals. Whether in light or deep trance, your awareness goes inward and you access your subconscious levels of awareness.

From the website of Hypnotherapy Academy of America (hypnotherapyacademyofamerica.com):

"Experts agree that hypnosis is simply a natural, altered state of mind where communication with the subconscious mind is facilitated. Hypnotherapy is the application of universally accepted self-discovery techniques and self-improvement methods (during and altered state of mind) that free you of fear-based programming and assumed limitations. This provides for an ongoing experience of your natural state of health, joy, abundance, and love."

Hypnosis is genuine psychological phenomenon that has many valid uses in clinical practice.

The power of hypnosis lies in your ability to harness the full potential of your imagination without the normal restrictions of the critical factor that filters information in your analytical conscious level of awareness. A skilled hypnotherapist can help you make dramatic changes to your life. The hidden power of hypnotherapy is in the suggestions that you listen to and how much you embrace these new ideas. Entering trance improves with practice. Each time you are hypnotized you go faster and deeper into a pleasant hypnotic trance which allows these suggestions to reach your deepest subconscious level of awareness where your problem solving intelligence resides.

Hypnosis is essentially your conscious and always thinking mind being calm long enough for your subconscious levels of awareness (that drive your inner self, urging you on and telling you what you should and should not do) to take hold of ideas that are beneficial and positive for you.

Hypnosis feels very pleasant and relaxing. It is almost like taking a nap with the added benefit of the positive suggestions and imagery that you are guided to experience under trance.

There are many unusual effects that one may experience while in trance such as arm levitation. This is where your arm rises up with a distinct sense that you are not doing it intentionally. Note that none of these unusual effects can cause you any harm.

Self-Hypnosis is a beneficial way to control and achieve many of the same benefits of working with a hypnotherapist to make changes. Self-Hypnosis is taught as part of Integral Hypnotherapy. It is the responsibility of a hypnotherapist to teach all clients or co-therapists to utilize Self-Hypnosis. Self-Hypnosis is a skill that takes practice. Practice, practice, practice and you mind will learn to cooperate.

It is important to note that you cannot be hypnotized against your will. It works only if you agree to let it happen. People in hypnotic trance are in total control of themselves and would never do anything that they would, under normal circumstances, find objectionable.

The Meaning of Integral Hypnotherapy:

Integral:
- Essential or necessary for completeness.
- Possessing everything essential; complete.
- Necessary to make a whole complete; essential or fundamental.
- An integral part is necessary to complete the whole. In this sense, the word essential is a near synonym.

Integral Hypnotherapy is trademarked by The Hypnotherapy Academy of America which is where I was privileged to obtain over 500 hours of intensive hypnotherapy training. Integral Hypnotherapy was developed by their lead instructor Tim Simmerman Sierra.

This definition of Integral Hypnotherapy comes directly from their website (hypnotherapyacademyofamerica.com):

“Hypnotherapy Academy of America focuses on in-depth instruction in the most effective hypnotherapy methods, which we call ‘Integral Hypnotherapy’. Integral Hypnotherapy is the complete hypnotherapy system. It integrates classical hypnotherapy with modern techniques. It also integrates perennial wisdom traditions, philosophical counseling, life skills coaching, and applied mind sciences.”

Hypnotherapy is a complementary therapy and is not intended to replace traditional medical and psychological therapies.

Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to create a state of highly focused attention and concentration often associated with relaxation and heightened suggestibility. That is, under hypnosis, people are more open to helpful suggestions than they usually are. While many people will not accept or respond to a direct suggestion, under hypnosis suggestions bypass the critical factor of the analytical mind and more readily reach the subconscious levels of awareness. There, they can germinate and take root as behavioral or psychological change. These suggestions are designed as post-hypnotic suggestions as they are intended to take effect after the person emerges from hypnosis.

What is it About the Hummingbird That Lends Itself to the Practice of Hypnotherapy?

We are cautioned to view life with the mind of an adult and the heart of a child by this little feathery sparkle.

The hummingbird represents an ancient symbol of joy and happiness. Its colorful appearance brings good luck and positive energy to our lives.

The hummingbird reminds us to enjoy life and simple pleasures and informs us that we should be looking at what is good in life. This tiny bird is associated with endurance and perseverance and reminds us to be adaptable and accept change.

The hummingbird is also linked to the idea of eternity and infinity. Its wings move in the pattern of a figure 8 which is the ancient symbol of continuity.

To our indigenous people, the hummingbird is a healer. A spirit sent by the Creator to help people.

In Asia, the hummingbird, though not native there, is associated with joy, freedom, and good luck. Hummingbird symbols hung in a nursery bring good luck and health to the infant.

Christians see the hummingbird as a messenger from the other side bringing good news from loved ones who have passed. Seeing one lets us know that our loved ones are happy and reminds us to be happy, too.

Celtic beliefs have the hummingbird delivering prophecies and guidance from the Devine. The hummingbird is an air element associated with wisdom and deep thinking.

The hummingbird reminds us that we find sweetness only within ourselves; that hanging on the past will not help.

The hummingbird is a symbol of bravery and endurance. Its hover reminds us to be patient and to trust our abilities and not give up when the going is tough. It also reminds us to open up our soul and let our loved ones see what we feel for them.

Hummingbirds are medicine for the soul. Use that medicine to heal your soul and find your right path. It will positively present the situation and will guide you towards resolution. When you are feeling tired and defeated, it will show you how to preserve your stamina. It will help you heal so that your body feels like home again.

Hummmmmm …. Sounds like hypnotherapy to me.
