What is the Gray Cloud?
The Gray Cloud is a hypnotic metaphor I use with clients. It is a place the client is familiar with, a place of knowledge, understanding and problem-solving.
It is a place where you are free to find the answers you seek, a place where resolutions are found.
I use metaphors with all my clients, your unconscious mind loves them. The unconscious also loves images with multiple layers and senses. This is why the Gray Cloud is a perfect metaphor for me to use. The clients' focus is on the cloud, leaving the unconscious open to powerful suggestions.
As we know hypnosis is a very powerful tool when used correctly. Many will use generic scripts or other techniques they saw somewhere on YouTube. Sorry, folks please stay away from these types of scam artists. Hypnosis is an art form, a spoken and unspoken set of skills. It's not what you say, it's how you say it. The meaning behind the meaning, or even the space between the words.
Hypnosis is a unique language, filled with stories and deep in metaphors. Some metaphors leave the subject wondering what is being spoken of, and that's the point. This form of communication is not for you, it is a conversation with the unconscious mind. It is a completely different dimension.
So is hypnosis safe?
Yes, absolutely!
Some have experienced a sense they are reliving an incident in the past (called an Abreaction). It is impossible to relive a past experience. You simply observe and report. It is the job of the Hypnotist to make that perfectly clear. It is also the Hypnotists job to keep the client safe, in this case, any regression work should be in a disassociated state (seeing the event, not through your own eyes).
Will I lose control?
NO!
You are always in complete control, aware and highly focused. You cannot be forced to do anything!
