Hypnotherapy in Los Angeles
All of us have a place of deep tranquility and wisdom which can be the source of all our intentions. A source of knowledge, peace and purpose that has been with us since life began. Hypnosis and meditation can lead us here. In a sense, this is our body consciousness, often called the unconscious or intuition. The medical or therapist hypnotist can help us start our intentions and actions from this source of deep tranquility so we are not disorganized, but instead purposeful. Those of us with ADHD or anxiety can learn through hypnosis and meditation to start here rather than from our disorganized and anxious minds.
