Educating the Public on the use of Hypnosis

If you didn't attend the Wilkes Chamber Small Business meeting for August you really missed out. Charlie Silva, Board Certified Hypnotist, of Blue Skies Hypnosis Center in Wilkesboro educated attendees on the inner workings of their subconscious as well dispelling some of the myths associated with hypnosis.

The mission statement for Blue Skies Hypnosis Center states they are: committed to helping you grow personally, professionally, emotionally, and spiritually. We will accomplish this by using hypnosis as a means to help you believe in yourself, your inherent goodness, your integrity, and your enormous potential. Charlie explained that we have three very distinct minds that do different things and they have a hard time communicating with each other. The three different minds are our conscious, subconscious and our unconscious mind. We spend the most time in our conscious mind. It keeps us awake and makes 100s of decisions a day. Our subconscious mind is where our programming resides, this defines who we are. And our unconscious mind controls our automatic functions, such as breathing.

Charlie went on to point out that whatever our programming says we are that is what we are. Our subconscious mind holds our total memory, it is like a video camera holding all of our memories since we were born. He went on to say this is where our habits and emotions live. These could be good, bad, positive or negative. The key to remember: positive suggestions from ourselves or others are difficult to enter the subconscious mind, while negative suggestions easily enter. We are more ready to believe the negative things we hear and believe about ourselves.


Charlie suggests in order to change our bad habits we need to reprogram our subconscious mind and this is where Hypnosis comes into the picture. During hypnosis our bodies are more relaxed, all of our senses are much better and you are completely in control of yourself. One myth about hypnosis is that you are asleep, you are not asleep during hypnosis. Once positive suggestions are made the conscious mind decides whether or not to allow the suggestion. If the suggestion is allowed to enter our subconscious mind this is when reprogramming begins.


According to Charlie anyone can be hypnotized and your mental attitude determines either success or failure. With hypnosis, Blue Skies Hypnosis Center can help you reduce stress, stop smoking, lose weight, improve sports performance, relieve test anxiety, increase self-confidence as well as teach you  self-hypnosis.
