Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

A relaxed, focused state of concentration. That is the definition. But the actual state of hypnosis is a little harder to define. Until recently it was assumed that it was similar to sleep, or that the mind was somehow unconscious. In reality, there is a specific state that the brain enters into when it is receptive to suggestion. This has been discovered on scans during hypnosis. It is not an unusual state of mind, and may feel like you are not in a trance, or in hypnosis. For most people they simply feel relaxed. There is a change in the brain wave activity, similar to that time just before sleep when the alpha state is entered. Your brain's waking state is a beta brain wave, just as you are going to sleep it changes to alpha and then to delta and theta in deep sleep. The alpha state is a very dreamy, pleasant state. During this time the mind is very open to visualizations and creating a rich sensory experience. The more real the experience becomes in the subconscious mind during this state, the more effect it will have on your waking behavior.

Wendi Friesen is fascinated by hypnosis and the effect that suggesting has on our body and mind

She first began studying Hypnosis and Neuro Linguistic Programming (NLP) and the potential effects of the waking trance states that are produced with language patterns, covert programming and embedded suggestions.

As she learned hypnosis, she explored deeper states of trance and traveled to seek out trainers in the US and in England, to become an expert.

Studying the effects of thought, belief, placebo and suggestion on our physical state of health and emotion allows her to experiment with her clients to produce dramatic and unusual changes in the health and physical state of a person.
Wendi teaches covert persuasion, hypnotic marketing, and body language.

Wendi’s seminars around the world show the effects of a state of mind that is induced with suggestion.

The combination of over 12 years of research, over 10,000 clients, and 100,000s around the world in seminars and her creative and intuitive mind, has made her an expert in her field.

She is a popular speaker for corporations, sales teams, medical professionals, and athletes.

Recently she appeared on Fox and Friends.
