What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a state of focused consciousness. Your hypnotherapist will assist you in learning how to achieve this state by guiding you into it.
Once this has been achieved, you will then receive what are called hypnotic suggestions. These suggestions will enable you to use the power of hypnosis in your life and make the changes you desire.
Hypnosis is a tool that can help you just, like it has helped millions of other people to take back control of their lives.
Hypnosis can help you change old habits and to provide you with motivation to do the things that you may have been putting off.
Hypnosis has been sanctioned and used by the medical community since 1958 to help patients overcome chronic pain, create anesthesia, and heal psychogenic illnesses.
Hypnosis has also been shown to help mothers give birth to their children with little or no pain.
At the Phoenix Centre the use of Hypnosis and self-hypnosis have been shown to be effective in reducing stress and stress-related illnesses.

Is hypnosis safe?
Hypnosis is safe. It is very similar to experiencing a daydream. Usually you will feel relaxed when doing hypnosis.
Hypnosis in and of itself is a very pleasant experience. It is a time to let go of the other thoughts of the day and focus on the issues you came in to work on.
Scientist, medical professionals, psychologists and hypnotherapists have been using hypnosis for over 200 years and no one has ever been hurt by simply going into hypnosis.
At the Phoenix Centre, Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, we use Hypnosis to apply the therapy you need with compassion and care in a very safe environment.
top
What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the applied use of hypnosis. Therapy can be defined as anything that is done to move someone toward health and wholeness. Thus, hypnotherapy is the use of hypnosis to help you move toward health and wholeness.
Hypnotherapy is also used to help you reach goals when nothing else has helped. Browse around the Phoenix Centre Web Site to see a list of uses for hypnotherapy we offer in Melbourne, Victoria Australia
Self-hypnosis may also be part of a good hypnotherapy program. Ask your hypnotherapist if using self-hypnosis is recommended to help you reach your goals.

Can I be hypnotized?
Of course you can! You already have been. It's easy to go into hypnosis and it is a normal state of mind that everyone has already experienced.
In fact, hypnosis is such a normal state of mind, most people usually don't even realize that they are hypnotized.
Normal, everyday hypnosis occurs when you are driving down the road and lose track of time, or, when you are focusing on a book or television program and you don't even notice something that is going on around you.
When you come in for hypnosis, all you need to do is to be able to follow the instructions of the hypnotherapist and you can put the power of hypnosis to work for you.
At The Phoenix Centre Melbourne, Victoria, Australia, experience has shown that anyone of at least normal intelligence and the willingness to follow instructions can experience hypnosis and use it to improve his or her life. This includes children and teenagers.

Why can Hypnotherapy help me succeed when nothing else has worked?
Hypnotherapy is one of the fastest growing fields of human achievement. As hypnotherapists we are working with people who are frustrated because nothing else has helped them achieve their goals.
They have tried every other avenue that they can think of without success. At the Phoenix Centre we use hypnosis, hypnotherapy and teach self-hypnosis so that people like you can succeed in making important changes.
Did you know that many of the most successful professional and Olympic teams use hypnosis to help their athletes win? That's true.
Now you can use this advantage for yourself, whether you are trying to overcome an old problem or if you want to grow to a new level of personal achievement.
Hypnotherapy can also be used as a complementary treatment for some medical and psychological issues. We can contact your doctor to make sure that using hypnosis is appropriate for your situation
Appropriate issues may include pain management, stress related illness and any issue that has been labeled psychogenic in origin.

Hypnosis can be your tool for success!
We encourage you to call us and ask us questions about hypnotherapy and our services. We enjoy answering questions. It is part of our job.

How To Get The Most Out of Your First Hypnotherapy Session
What can you do to make sure you get the most from you first hypnotherapy session? This is a very good question, because it is an important one for those seeking hypnosis or hypnotherapy services. An entire book or at least a chapter could be written on this topic. In this discussion I will narrow it down to two main factors explained in detail in points 11 and 12 that contribute to you getting the most out of your first hypnosis session.
top
The Hypnotherapist Should Tell You All You Need To Know About Hypnosis & Hypnotherapy.
The first important factor determining your success is your choice of hypnotherapist or hypnotherapy provider. Providing you have made a good choice and your hypnotherapist is well trained (i.e., A Certified Hypnotherapist), she will know how to help you to be prepared for your first session by providing you a sufficient amount of information about hypnosis, hypnotherapy, her experience and credentials, as well as what to expect during the session, basically everything that you need to find out to put you at ease. For most people receiving this kind of information is and important part of the process, because any experienced hypnotherapist can tell you, proper preparation of clients prior to the hypnosis session improves success. It improves success because preparing a client for the session helps to reduce concerns about the hypnosis process and set up an appropriate expectation of what to expect the hypnotic experience to feel like. Any fear of being hypnotized will always reduce the probability of success of any hypnosis session. An individual who has a realistic expectation of what the experience of being hypnotized will be like, will feel more comfortable and satisfied with the experience, during and after the session.
top
What You Can Do To Get The Most Out Of A Hypnotherpay Session
The next main factor that will contribute to the success in your first hypnotherapy session of course is you, and how you mentally approach the session. Presuming that your hypnotherapist has done her/his job well as discussed above, and you have asked all the questions you feel you need to ask, you should feel comfortable with experiencing hypnosis.
Here is what you need to do, you need to adopt an easy going accepting attitude for following instructions.
Almost all hypnotic inductions contain some suggestions for relaxation. Even the instant and rapid inductions have some kind of suggestion for relaxation. However, contrary to popular opinion, physical relaxation is not required for hypnosis to occur. It has become my opinion, after conducting thousands of hypnosis sessions, as well as supervising and training hypnotherapists who have conducted thousands more, that the physical relaxation is only encouraged (through suggestion) so that a kind of mental relaxation can occur. This mental relaxation is a major part of what helps you to experience the benefits of hypnosis.This mental relaxation is sometimes called "contention." This "contention" does not have anything to do with conflict or tension. In fact it is quite the opposite. This "contention" is a mental state where, it is as if the person in hypnosis is hanging on the hypnotist's every word. In the Dave Elman-type inductions, there comes a point where the client is asked to relax her "mind until the numbers fade away." When the numbers have faded away, as a result of relaxing the mind, we have guided our clients into this highly relaxed state of mind, and as a result, they can become highly suggestible, and be able to experience virtually every kind of hypnotic phenomena, from catalepsy to hypnotically induced anesthesia.
The hypnotherapist cannot relax your mind. She is in the role of a coach or teacher. The hypnotic induction is a way of helping you to first (generally), relax your body, and then use that relaxation as a model for relaxing your mind and creating the hypnotic state. When you follow the instructions of the hypnotherapist, your conscious mind become less critical of the instructions and suggestions given. Once this has been accomplished your hypnotherapist can help you become successful for whatever you came in to see a hypnotherapist for. So, it is essential that you do not, over analyze the instructions. Analysis and mental criticism is the opposite of the mental relaxation you want to create. Just as muscle tension is the opposite of physical relaxation, mental work such as rationalization and analysis is the opposite of mental relaxation.
Now we return to the idea of adopting an easy-going accepting mental attitude. Analysis and criticism is equivalent to mental work. If you are doing mental work, you are not relaxing the mind and not relaxing the mind will inhibit you going as deeply into hypnosis as you could otherwise. The deeper you allow yourself to go into hypnosis, the more benefit you will receive from each hypnosis session.

How I Helped To Make My First Hypnotherapy Session Successful
Let me give you and example. Even though I learned hypnotherapy many years ago, it was only about 2 years ago when I decided that it would be beneficial for me to have the experience of being hypnotized by someone else. Up to that point, I was always the hypnotherapist; I had never been the "client." So, I contacted a hypnotherapist in Melbourne that I did know personally (I thought that would put me more at ease), and arranged a Hypnotherapy session to work on something that was important to me at the time.
As I sat waiting for my meeting with the hypnotherapist, some anxiety (fear) started to set in. I was not afraid of hypnosis. I was not afraid of the hypnotherapist; she came to me highly recommended by someone that I highly trusted. I was afraid that I would mess the whole thing up! I was afraid that I would be too analytical and be too focused on how she was conducting the session to allow the process of mental relaxation to occur. I was concerned that I would not allow contention; that I would not be able to put aside my analytical rational thinking long enough to experience what I hoped to experience.
It was then that I sat down and had a little talk with myself. It went something like this… "Okay, do you really want to do this or not? This is going to cost $100.00/hour. Don't go a head with this unless you are willing to follow instructions. Only you can get in the way of having some success here. So, what are you going to do? I know you are a trained scientist. I know you are a little stubborn. I know you like to be in charge and in control, but you can't do that right now, that is not how it works. It is going to cost you $100.00 no matter how it goes."
Then it happened. I decided, that I was going to be the best hypnotic subject that this hypnotherapist had ever seen! It was just a decision. But it was just the decision that I needed to make.
I had just decided that I was going to give her a chance to do her work. I was going to allow her to be in charge for a little while. I was going to follow her instructions and just adopt an easy-going accepting attitude for what ever she suggested. And, when I wasn't sure of what to do or of what she was doing, I was going to relax entirely and give her the benefit of the doubt!
Was I doing this for her sake? No. How well I did in the hypnosis session was going to have very little effect on her life (she was going to make $100.00/hour regardless). I was there because there was something that I wanted to accomplish, and the only way I was going to be able to accomplish that was to follow her instructions and to adopt that easy-going accepting mental attitude.
And, that is just what I did. I had a great hypnosis session; which included a hypnotic age regression to when I was so small I hadn't even walked yet! It was a profound experience and an important part of my education as a hypnotherapist.
So, what can you do to make the most of your upcoming hypnotherapy session? Sit down and have a little talk with yourself, and then decide to adopt that easy-going accepting mental attitude, and to follow all of the instructions of your hypnotherapist without rationalizing or analyzing, really let your mind relax like your body can relax, and you will have done your part! Then you will get the very most out of your hypnosis session. That is my advice.

What is Past Life Regression?
Past life regression (PLR) is a process of retrieving memories of previous lives. This process is facilitated through the state of hypnosis; By reliving or discovering previous experiences or traumas, a person can identify the origin of his/her problem whether it is a phobia or a disability or other issues. Advocates of past life regression believe in reincarnation and claim that the experiences from previous lives can carry over and affect a person's current life. Past Life Regression is commonly used by Hypnotherapists.
top
What is Past Life Regression Therapy?
Past Life/ Past Lives Therapy (PLT) utilizing clinical hypnotherapy allows unconscious experiences from past life traumas or emotionally charged events to become fully conscious. Past Life Therapy aims to resolve any unconscious, survival-based scripts that could be negatively affecting one’s present health, behaviors, or quality of life. PLT can allow for a more thorough resolution since it gives the mind permission to locate past life sources affecting present day challenges or obstacles. PLT can uncover patterns and unconscious dialogue from many lifetimes of trauma or confusion associated with an event; individuals often re-create similar experiences unconsciously as an attempt to complete or heal an unresolved past life experience. Past Life Regression Therapy primarily utilizes a series of methods to access source material transferred at each incarnation as cellular/ soul memory. PLT broadens a client's awareness and enables them to reframe any unconscious logic which no longer serves their current life experience and well-being.

"Met Pablo Metz at Brian Weiss' past life therapy course at the Omega Institute, Rhinebeck, United States in August 2005.
Pablo Metz is a warm hearted and genuine person who has a natural ability to put people at ease and he seems to have an innate understanding of exactly what his clients require. As students of Brian's, an opportunity presented for a therapist to come to the stage to perform a Past Life Regression session. Pablo undertook this with confidence and ease (in front of some 250 people!) and the session he performed was smooth and had the outcome the client wanted.
Pablo Metz also did a past life regression therapy session for me which I found to be very rewarding - his natural ability to put me at ease and regress me successfully to a past life was a fascinating journey - at no time did I feel uncomfortable, and had I experienced any distressing events, I have no doubt that Pablo would be able to steer me into a more comfortable state.
I would recommend Pablo as an excellent Hypnotherapist in Melbourne for whatever situation the client presents with. He has a natural warmth and genuine regard for all those he comes into contact with."

"I decided on attending the 7th Path workshop because I was interested in understanding that many of my "subconscious beliefs" may be limiting my current circumstances. Although I consider my "life" to be wonderful and positive, with an amazing wife and soon to be three beautiful children, 7th Path helped me recognize many "deep" feelings that had been locked away. One of these realisations was very significant and I am extremely grateful that I now have the opportunity to resolve it.
Thankyou Pablo"

"I had the opportunity to experience first hand the sensitive and therapeutically beneficial work of Pablo Metz .
Pablo's gentle and calm demeanor provides a loving and supportive environment for Past Life Regression Therapeutic work. Pablo Metz used his hypnotherapy skills with expertise to gently encourage me to face my fears while providing an environment of spiritual support where I felt protected and safe. With Pablo's encouragement I acknowledged my fears, exposed them for what they really were and amazingly they dissolved away. I was left with a feeling of relief and a new sense of understanding. Pablo then helped me to explore the importance of these events in my current life and gave me tools to use to continue to develop my feelings of safety and confidence. I highly recommend Pablo Metz's Hypnotherapy and coaching skills in Melbourne, Australia, as a gentle and empathic therapist who has great ability and competence to guide and heal."

"Dear Pablo, I am sending you some of the notes I took after our session:
I can say that I felt I was in very capable hands with you. I felt very comfortable and that allowed me to focus on exploring what I was experiencing during the therapy. You have a good sense of timing and are very patient, and you allowed me to process things at my own pace rather than trying to set the pace yourself. Despite this, you gave me good, clear direction when necessary.
I would recommend anyone in Melbourne, Australia to come and see you.
Thank You!"
