How Hypnosis Works

The conscious mind is the part of the mind with which you are most familiar; the part that knows where you are and what you are doing at all times. If the conscious mind cannot see, touch or taste something, then it doesn’t exist. Consequently, it is difficult to change unhealthy behavioral patterns by just using the conscious mind.

The subconscious mind works very much like a computer. Once something is programmed into the computer it remains that way until it is reprogrammed. The old programming repeats no matter how much your conscious mind wishes something else to occur, making it difficult to break long-standing patterns such as smoking.

Hypnosis is an “altered state of consciousness,” similar to daydreaming or getting absorbed in a good book. During this altered state of consciousness, suggestions are able to bypass the conscious mind and can be fed directly into the subconscious, where they can be readily accepted and acted upon immediately.

Traditional smoking cessation and weight loss programs stop here, using only suggestions to help the participant stop smoking or lose weight. What makes Pathways’ Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs different from the others?

1. Like other hypnosis programs Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs help participants reach an “altered state of consciousness” where suggestions can be readily accepted by the subconscious mind. However, this is where the similarity ends. Under the expert guidance of Dr. William Bezmen and Pathways staff, participants are able to go back to the origin of their smoking or weight problem and reprogram positive healthy thoughts where limiting, negative thoughts (blocks) reside. These new, more expansive thoughts allow participants to stop smoking or lose weight in a much more painless and effortless way than is usually the case when other approaches are used.These blocks prevent people from being as successful as they would like to be, and it is these blocks that are not addressed in other programs. That is why many people successfully stop smoking or lose weight for a while after attending a hypnosis smoking cessation or weight loss program, but find the old thinking and need to smoke or eat returning, and then go back to their old habits.
2. Another unique aspect of Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs is the teaching of self-hypnosis techniques, so participants can continue to access their own subconscious mind and reinforce their resolve with repeated positive suggestions. By developing skills with self hypnosis, participants reinforce new attitudes no matter where they are and what they may be doing.
3. Participants also receive a free hypnosis CD for use on a daily basis at home. This unique CD has been developed by Dr. William Bezmen to take listeners to a place of healing and connect them with their Higher Selves. By experiencing the unconditional love of the Higher Self, listeners can fill the void and heal their addictions. Suggestions given are positive, uplifting and extremely powerful. The more the CDs are heard, the more effective the results. The use of Pathway’s HypnoSynergistic™ approach, which blends clinical hypnosis, guided imagery, ancient healing arts, An-Ra Energy Healing System and spirituality make these programs unique in the marketplace and facilitate transformational healing in the listener.

Pathways Hypnosis for Smoking Cessation and Weight Loss programs are offered in two formats:

• Weight Management Program is an 8 week program, called “Healthy Life”  that is done in a group setting and involves both teaching and group hypnosis to incorporate the lessons into the deeper mind and to make permanent change. See Healthy Life in the service section.
• The second is a short series of private sessions where even deeper issues that may be blocking success with smoking cessation or weight loss can be uncovered under the helpful guidance of a hypnotherapist.

The Dictionary of Alternative-Medicine Methods defines HypnoSynergistic therapy as:
Combination of “deep” energy work (see “vibrational medicine“), hypnosis, and spirituality developed by Dr. William Bezmen. Its theory posits a “multi-dimensional self” and a soul with a discoverable purpose.

HypnoSynergistic™ Therapy

(HST) is a powerful combination of hypnosis, spirituality, ancient healing, and deep energy work. (HST) is a healing approach developed by Dr. William Bezmen over the last 30 years.

• Anxiety Disorders
• Phobias
• Stress Management
• Releasing Addictions (Smoking, Food, Sex)
• Eating Disorders

• Releasing blocks

Making change rapidly and permanently what we are all looking for. However, unless we are able to identify and release blocks, in the deeper mind, we often struggle trying to make change. When using the HypnoSynergistic Approach, we can replace the blocks with positive thoughts and energy assisting the individual to feel more empowered and to make the changes that are desired. This is used for improved concentration, increased self esteem, sports performance, test taking anxiety, weight management, self hypnosis, etc.

These sessions are typically 45 min.
