Hypnosis is a state of imagination that allows you to build rapport with the unconscious mind. It’s often referred to as “trance”, a state that ANYONE can experience. Yes, I mean ANYONE.
It tends to get a bad rap, so let’s clear some things up. Hypnosis isn’t mind control, brainwashing, certainly NOT black magic! It’s a co-creational process where both the hypnotist + subject must work TOGETHER. To maximize the experience, the subject has to consent, cooperate, and focus deeply in order for the full effects to work.
The subject is fully in control of entering their own state of trance; the hypnotist is simply there to serve as a guide and offer suggestions to the subject’s subconscious mind!
Long before it was actually called hypnosis, it was an ancient practice used to communicate with the unconscious! Wise priests implied that the unconscious mind was ALWAYS listening, even those who practiced hypnosis were described to have the “Royal Touch”.
Now that we’ve utilized science to deeply study the effects of hypnosis on our brains, we know EXACTLY what goes on at the cellular level! Our mind undergoes 4 distinct brainwave patterns: beta, alpha, theta, delta. As you go down the scale, the waves move slower and slower. The slowest brain wave is experienced in our deepest sleep- which is why many mistake hypnosis for falling asleep!
When we encounter a state of hypnosis, there is a shift in our brain wave activity. Hypnosis + meditation are identical states that occur in Alpha aka the “trance” state! Ever wonder why meditating is such a pleasantly tranquil experience? That’s why!
When our brains enter the Alpha wavelength, so many opportunities open up to balance the connection between our body + mind! BOTH need some healthy exercise, so think of hypnosis as a really rejuvenating workout sesh.
Some of the benefits of hypnosis include reducing our stress and anxiety, heightening clairvoyance around visual images, and kick-starting our “super learning”! When I say “super learning” I’m referring to your passive ability to learn new information + memorize. The Alpha state activates creative problem solving and intuitive insights- how freaking COOL is that?
Because hypnosis occurs in this calming state, the barrier of resistance built by your conscious mind is not as effective! Thoughts + emotions may pleasantly drift through your mind, giving stress reduction and mental stability. Therefore, it Improves the mind-body connection, bridging the gap between the conscious + unconscious mind!
Hypnosis is one of the five transformational modalities we teach inside the Sparkle System Coaching Certification + Six Figure Business School. Our students become certified Hypnosis practitioners able to guide clients through immersive sessions to strengthen the relationship with their unconscious mind! This is extremely helpful when creating those majorly impactful mindset shifts designed to help us release our limiting beliefs!
I LOVE implementing this technique because it opens us up to work with the subconscious in a comforting yet INSPIRING way! Becoming vulnerable with the uncovered parts of ourselves can seem intimidating to our consciousness, but that’s why it’s so worth breaking that barrier. The visualizations our subconscious has the ability to create for us can help us connect deeper to the dreamy, aligned, harmonious reality we’ve been thinking SO much about!
