Should this state of relaxation become deep enough, our brain enters the Alpha state. This state is often referred to as the meditative state, the Zen state, the
daydreaming state, or the trance state. Although we are not actually asleep, we are also not really awake. We are aware of things around us, perhaps we can
hear noises or people talking, but they appear to be very distant. In this state the conscious mind has effectively fallen asleep, and our subconscious mind
remains in control of our Autonomic Nervous System.

In this state, any suggestions given to us would pass straight into the subconscious mind. We are effectively hypnotised.

With further relaxation, we would fall into a light sleep, this is the Theta State, and from here we would normally fall into a deep sleep known as the Delta
State.

Under normal circumstances, we all pass through these four stages when we fall asleep, and then move back through them in reverse order as we
awaken. Medical science has proven that we must all spend a certain amount of time in the Alpha State each day to function properly.

However, if drugs are used to induce sleep, we will normally move straight from the Beta State to the Delta State effectively missing out the other
two. Continued use of these drugs can seriously affect our Nervous System causing a downturn in our general health, often leading to depression and
withdrawal.

We all suffer from insomnia from time to time, but if the symptoms persist then it is wise to seek help. Hypnotherapy is an ideal solution for this problem as
the we can simply drift from hypnosis into natural sleep. No Drugs, No Problem.

THE BRAIN IN LOVE

Falling in love is a truly strange experience. You become utterly, inexplicably obsessed with one person.
You feel a spike of pleasure whenever you get a text or email from them and spend as much time with them
as humanly possible. You see the good in them, but not the bad.

To neuroscientists examining brain architecture, love looks surprisingly like addiction.

Not everyone goes through the experience of being in love, but many do, and it's one of the most distinctive
parts of being a human. Until recently, though, neuroscience largely ignored love as a topic of research. “Most neuroscientific research has been devoted to
negative symptoms — depression and addiction, instead of joy," says Donatella Marazziti, an Italian psychiatrist who has studied neurotransmitter levels in
the brains of people who've recently fallen in love.

Helen Fisher, a Rutgers University researcher who's used MRI and other brain imaging techniques to examine both romantic love and long-term attachment, Page185
says that "it's a new idea to accept that there are even brain systems associated with love in the first place."
