Why Double Induction Hypnosis Works Better

But First, What Is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is on purpose thinking in a trance state similar to lucid dreaming. If you've ever had a lucid dream, you know the feeling of realizing you're dreaming and then having the ability to create whatever you want inside that dreamscape. Being in a state of trance is similar, because you're in a semi-dream state where you can vividly imagine and control the realm of your unconscious mind. We go into a state of trance multiple times a day without realizing it. For example, during highway hypnosis, you might get to your destination without remembering the drive. Similarly, when watching a movie, we can become so engrossed that we experience the emotions as if we're part of the film.

This natural state is perfect for draining out trapped emotions and changing beliefs that no longer serve us in our unconscious minds. We go into trances (space out) multiple times daily, often unconsciously, until someone points it out. Understanding and utilizing this state lets us make powerful changes to our emotions and belief systems.

Basic Hypnosis

Basic hypnosis involves guiding someone into a relaxed state with their eyes closed and offering suggestions intended to reach their unconscious mind and influencing their beliefs and emotions. The process typically involves the hypnotist using a soothing, slow tone to facilitate this state of relaxation, with the hope of creating positive change insidethe person's unconscious mind. (This is not always effective)

Double Induction Hypnosis

Double induction hypnosis is a technique that uses multiple voices speaking simultaneously. This creates an interesting effect: it splits the client's conscious and unconscious mind. Since our conscious mind cannot focus on two voices at once, it tends to concentrate on one voice, while the unconscious mind receives the suggestions of the other. This creates to an instant trance, as the divided attention pulls us into natural relaxation.

The deep relaxation of the body is important in this process because a relaxed body leads to a relaxed mind, which in turn becomes more open to suggestions. Double induction hypnosis creates a positive feedback loop: as the body and mind relax more, the mind becomes more suggestible. This technique effectively engages the conscious mind with one voice, allowing positive messages to be absorbed by the unconscious mind, making it a powerful tool for influencing the unconscious mind directly.

Why Everyone Should Care About Hypnosis

We are influenced constantly by media and advertising, sometimes without even realizing it.

I think it's important to consciously program our own unconscious mind. If we don't take an active role in shaping our thoughts and beliefs, external forces just shape them for us. By understanding how hypnosis works and using it deliberately, we can make sure that the messages influencing our subconscious align with our own values and goals.

Hypnosis changed my life. It not only allowed me to drain out negative emotions trapped in past events; It helped me increase my self-esteem by giving me the courage to face myself, embrace myself, and accept who I am at my core so I can be me without giving a crap what other people think. I don't second guess myself now, and I'm my own best cheerleader inside (a far cry from my old toxic self talk, and self loathing).

I'm here when you're ready, and fully believe we are our own best medicine, we just need patient people that know how to help us remember. If you'd like to experience hypnosis for yourself, book a session here.
