The brain operates in four general

The brain operates in four general states determined by the frequency of the electricity generated by the exchange of chemicals in the neural pathways. The four states include Full Conscious Awareness, the Hypnotic State, the Dream State, and the Sleep State. These four states correspond to electrical activity in the brain and are defined by frequency ranges on an EEG. Full Conscious Awareness occurs when the majority of the electrical activity in the brain is in the beta range (14-35 Hz). The Hypnotic State occurs when brain activity is in the alpha range (8-13 Hz).
The Dream State occurs when brain activity is in the theta range (4-7 Hz), and the Sleep State occurs when brain activity is in the delta range (. 5-3 Hz). Full Conscious Awareness is where which we spend most of our waking hours. In this state, our mind is attentive and uses logic to reason, evaluate, assess, judge, and make decisions. Unfortunately, when making life changes, the conscious mind often gets in the way. In the Hypnotic State, the doorway between the conscious and the subconscious is opened, memories become easily accessible, and new information is stored. In the Hypnotic State, you are not really thinking in the traditional sense.
  1. You are experiencing without questioning, without critical judgment or analysis, like when you watch a movie, and the hypnotherapist can make suggestions that are very likely to stick - precisely because your conscious mind is not getting in the way.
  2. You are not judging or being critical of the suggestions.
  3. We pass through all four bands sequentially as the electrical activity decreases on our way to sleep and as it increases up on our way to total wakefulness.

  1. Regardless of whether we are on our way to sleep or to wakefulness, when we pass through the upper theta/lower alpha range we go into hypnosis automatically.
  2. There is no power on earth that can stop it from happening but likewise, there is no person or power on earth that can force you into it; you must want to go into hypnosis and follow the hypnotist's direction to the letter.
  3. A less technical definition of hypnosis is: A naturally occurring altered state of consciousness in which the critical faculty is bypassed (mind in the conscious mode) and acceptable selective thinking established.
  4. This simply means that the reasoning, evaluating, judging part of your mind (conscious) is bypassed.

While we wonder how this could possibly happen, we are subject to it all the time. The advertising industry is dedicated to bypassing our critical judgment all the time in order to influence our buying behavior. We suspend our critical judgment other times when an authority figure makes some sort of comment; doctors, clergy, professors, and many more fall into this category. Children suspend their critical judgment frequently in games of let's pretend. Actors do it in playing a part; they have to suspend their critical faculty, and they ask the audience to suspend theirs to accept them as being someone else.
With the critical faculty bypassed, specific thoughts/suggestions can be lodged in the subconscious where they can propel the client toward a desired goal or change behavior in a positive, permanent way. Any such suggestions must be acceptable to the client, of course. They would have no effect otherwise. This focus on a specific goal or behavior is done with laser-like precision and intensity in hypnosis. It's a little like looking through a telescope from the wrong end. You see just one tiny spec of the environment in focus though you may be aware of everything around it..

Jean Conway, Advanced Certified

Jean Conway, Advanced Certified Hypnotherapist, of Blue Moon Hypnotherapy provides professional, cutting edge hypnosis techniques to help you achieve the results you desire. Located in the beautiful hills of western Massachusetts, in the town of Greenfield Massachusetts. Blue Moon Hypnotherapy is a delightful place to transform into the person you've been longing to be! Whether it be weight reduction or food issues, smoking cessation, addictive behaviors, alcohol or substance abuse, anger issues, anxiety, depression, self-confidence, loss, grief, insomnia, pain management, procrastination, overcome phobias, in fact, any unconsciously self imposed limitations, you can find help here. Hypnosis can help you reduce procrastination, clutter, or increase motivation, improve learning skills, interview skills, study skills, public speaking, reduce symptoms of Fibromyalgia, Irritable Bowel Syndrome, or cancer treatment. Just call with your concerns and I'll be happy to discuss it with you. I have been certified by the National Guild of Hypnotists since 1999 and also have Advanced Certification as a 5-Path Practitioner (5 Phase Advanced Transformational Hypnosis) and 7th Path Self Hypnosis by the Banyan Hypnosis Center in MN. I have been Certified in Advanced Weight Loss Techniques by Dr. Tom Nicoli, of The Date Line Weight Loss Challenge. Additionally, I am a member of the International Association of Counselors and Therapists, a member of the National Federation of Hypnotists and a Quantum Focusing Trainer as well as a Reiki Practitioner. Prior to becoming a hypnotherapist my professional experiences have been primarily in administration, both in the public sector and in the dental and mental health profession. After the loss of my son *Blue, in 1996, I fought hard to overcome my grief.
Hypnotherapy proved to be of tremendous help to me, leading to a career in hypnosis. Because of my unfortunate personal experience I created and for many years volunteered my services on an internet grief group list, at Grief-Net. org assisting newly bereaved parents of substance abusers learning to cope with their losses. Additionally, I co-authored a book, titled, Between Two Pages, Children of Substance, along with other GriefNet parents. I have co-facilitated weekend workshops for bereaved and have also facilitated seminars for the bereaved sponsored by Baystate Hospice at the Franklin Medical Center in Greenfield, MA. When given the opportunity, I work with Hospice as a therapeutic volunteer through both the Baystate VNA and Hospice program at the Franklin Medical Center and the Franklin County Hospice Program to assist the terminally ill and their families during difficult times. I have presented in-service programs for the staff and volunteers. It is an honor for me to work cancer patients in achieving wellness through guided imagery and hypnosis both in private sessions and group settings.
  1. I have helped cancer patients relieve their pain, nausea, anxiety, and to fall sleep more easily.
  2. It is always an honor to work with cancer patients.

There is of course, a reduced fee for people suffering from cancer, seeking help with the side effects of their diagnosis and treatment. I am certified as a Reiki practitioner - specializing in hospice care. I welcome cancer related programs and/or institutions to take advantage of hypnosis to compliment traditional medical treatment. Numerous scientific studies have shown that the mind can exert a real and powerful effect on the body and that patients undergoing hypnosis before, during or after surgery need less pain medication, have less blood loss and heal more quickly. Evidence is showing that it can be significantly therapeutic to patients which is now influencing major hospitals to use hypnosis. The body-mind connection is very real indeed, and just as Reiki has been embraced by many hospitals, hypnosis is now being recognized as a viable method of helping patients. For the past few years my interests and studies have taken me into the realm of hypnotherapy for chronic illness. I have studied with author and healer Stephen Parkhill, Cal Banyan, author and trainer and Gary Craig, founder of EFT.
All are very well known masters in the hypnosis arena. I have had personal sessions with Matt Sison, C.H. of CA, and know without a doubt what it means to be healed by the power of hypnotherapy. Allow me to hold you in your grief, your fear, compulsion or illness. Together we will confront your demons and slay your dragons! With my assistance, you will rewrite your negative thoughts, transform unwanted habits and patterns and change the way you perceive the past. Serving Franklin, Hampshire, Hampden counties in western Massachusetts, southern Vermont, New Hampshire, the Berkshires & northern Connecticut.
