 An introduction to the second of our Festival Activities

Relaxation Sessions with Steve Bowkett
Steve qualified as a hypnotherapist in 1991 and as well as dealing with many hundreds of clients has also run relaxation and self-hypnosis workshops up and down the country. On a number of occasions these workshops have focussed on developing creativity, dealing with writer’s block, recovering desired memories, becoming the characters in your story and other topics that may be of interest to NAWG members.
Relaxing in hypnosis is an easy skill to learn. Hypnosis is not sleep but instead is a state where the conscious mind becomes settled and calm. Attention turns inward and during such a period of tranquillity pleasant imagery (which you can choose for yourself) is imagined with great clarity. The experience is a wonderful ‘journey of the imagination’ and afterwards one feels relaxed and yet invigorated.
Steve will be running 30-minute relaxation sessions at the Festival. He will also be available throughout the weekend if you wanted to ask any questions about hypnosis and hypnotherapy. There is also information on Steve’s website – www.stevebowkett.co.uk
