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.
