Alchemical Hypnotherapy
focuses on spiritual healing through the use of inner guides and healing the inner child, this can be an effective tool to help you create the positive changes you desire in your life by synchronizing both the conscious and subconscious. Developed in the 1970s by David Quigley, Alchemical Hypnotherapy combines the use of hypnosis to access the subconscious mind to reveal and heal traumas which occurred in the past, yet affect our present. It is a dynamic process of personal transformation which can bring about lasting and meaningful changes in ones life. It is a proven vehicle for contacting childhood memories, clearing emotional blocks and accessing the limitless wisdom that lies deep within our Soul.
AH is a spiritual science of transmutation. Its name is borrowed from the ancient alchemist, who had as their purpose, transforming the negative weight of emotions into the gold of enlightened awareness. The writings of the Middle Age alchemists indicate that they saw their inner guides as keys to their own transformation. According to Carl Jung, the first modern alchemist, the vehicles of this transformative process were the archetypes, the Inner Guides. Therefore Alchemy can also be defined as the spiritual discipline of working with Inner Guides. These powerful and autonomous beings live within the unconsciousness mind and can guide us effectively to health, happiness, relationships, prosperity, and most important, the fulfilment of our spiritual purpose! These Guides can be accessed through the hypnotic state.The alchemical process goes beyond symptom removal to personal integration and spiritual awareness. Hypnotherapy allows you to access your inner emotions so you may address many of the negative issues and make positive changes. The results can be profound and lasting. This process is non-invasive and interactive, wherein the therapist acts as a guide for the client's exploration. Therefore the client and therapist work together as a team to achieve the client's goals; suggestions for change come from the client's inner guidance, NOT the therapists. The focus is on giving the person resources within themselves that they can call upon to resolve their own issues. This insures the paths taken are appropriate for each individual client.
Val draws upon such disciplines as transpersonal hypnotherapy, Jungian Archetypes, regression therapy, Gestalt, Neuro-Linguistic Programming, Ericksonian hypnosis and shamanism to provide a sensitive, interactive, client directed approach to explore the unconscious forces behind behavior patterns in life and relationships.
Hypnosis
is a relaxed state of focused awareness, bypassing the analytical conscious mind and accessing the subconscious mind, while maintaining full control. Hypnosis helps a person achieve a focused state of mind through encouraging the rational, critical mind to temporarily relax. Even in the deepest state of hypnosis, the individual always retains complete freedom to accept or reject a particular suggestion. Entering a hypnotic state is a skill a therapist helps you learn rather than something that is "done to you".
Trance
is similar to hypnosis as it is also a sleeplike state of altered consciousness but it is more like a heightened focal awareness and reduced peripheral awareness. Have you ever been involved in a project where nothing enters your mind except the task at hand? You are not conscious of anything else going on around you? The hours seem to slip by without you realizing it. That is considered a trance state. This state of altered consciousness allows us to focus on one or more ideas simultaneously and allows us to ignore external stimuli. This state is very useful and easily achieved in the hypnotherapy session as it will draw you in and keep you focused on the desired goal.
