Hypnotherapy and meditation both work through states of expanded consciousness. With hypnotherapy, the assumption is that the client has an issue or ailment that needs to be cured. With meditation, on the other hand, the client is generally well but simply wishes to explore higher states of being that are not reachable through everyday consciousness.
Most people appreciate the enormous advantages of attaining such elevated states. But the problem is that many find it extremely difficult to meditate. People rarely get beyond staring at a candle or observing their own breath. They struggle to focus on 'nothing'; the conscious mind interferes and distracts; and then, more often than not, they give up. After all, not everyone is willing to sit for 17 hours or disappear to meditate in the forest like an Indian holy man.
The magic of Yogic Hypnotherapy is that it combines the ease of hypnotherapy with the profundity of meditation. By using hypnotherapeutic techniques like 'deepeners', (such as counting the client down from 10 to 1), Yogic Hypnotherapy enables clients to reach states of trance relatively easily. Most clients achieve light states of trance even at their first session.
Once a client is in trance, the therapist can use hypnotherapy techniques - such as the use of suggestions - to give clients the confidence they may need to have the extraordinary experiences that meditation has to offer. These experiences are then etched deep in the subconscious of the client, to remain with them long after the details of the session are forgotten.
The objective of Yogic Hypnotherapy is to make a profound journey easier to take than ever before. It is one that many say changes their lives.
