Guided hypnosis: access deep relaxation

Hypnosis is not what movies portray. It's a natural state of focused concentration you reach multiple times a day — just before falling asleep, absorbed in a book, or driving a familiar route. Guided hypnosis uses this state to access your inner resources.

What is guided hypnosis?

Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness characterised by intense focus and heightened receptivity to suggestions. You remain conscious and in control at all times.

In a hypnotic state, brain waves slow toward alpha/theta. The prefrontal cortex (judgement, censorship) relaxes its grip, allowing new perspectives to be welcomed. This is why hypnosis is effective for reducing anxiety, changing habits and managing pain.

Meta-analyses published in Pain and the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology confirm the efficacy of hypnosis for chronic anxiety and sleep disorders. Complement with our anxiety meditations and sleep meditations.

The benefits of guided hypnosis

Stress and anxiety — Hypnotic induction activates the parasympathetic system in 3 to 5 minutes. Heart rate drops, breathing deepens, the body releases tension.

Sleep — Evening hypnosis conditions the brain to associate relaxation and sleep onset. Effective against nocturnal rumination and hyperarousal insomnia.

Confidence and performance — Access your inner resources, reprogram limiting beliefs, reactivate natural confidence.

Pain — The British Medical Association and the American Psychological Association recognise hypnosis as a complementary therapy for pain management.
