Hypnosis and it's role in getting to know yourself?

Here are some thoughts about hypnosis (inspired by a question on the reddit).

Maybe you have experienced changes since you joined the academy? Perhaps you had changed before or perhaps they started with hypnosis? Perhaps you have noticed a lot of changed since you started your conditioning in module 1?

So do these conditioning and hypnosis things really work? How do they work and how much change can be expected? Can you be influenced beyond your own understanding? 

Hypnosis, human change, how we think, feel and act in this world is all complex and it is probably not beneficial at all if we try to make this into something simple. 

I wanted to give my take on what I think hypnosis does for you from a trainer and hypnotist perspective.

Remember that you are a human being which means that all of what you are is an incredibly deep complex beautiful being of incredible power and potential.

Hypnosis or anything you hear or see cannot in a short moment change the billions of patterns that your brain picked since you started exploring this amazing and vast world we all share.

For example, a good argument might convince someone to think differently, but if they lived with a reality that was different from that then certainly their past will still linger. Change takes time.

Whether you listen to hypnosis or not, your brain changes a lot every day. Hypnosis can be powerful in that it can let someone truly reflect into parts of themselves that might not otherwise be accessible.

Hypnosis is like a good argument. You can have a moment where you can get into a trance and you truly feel and think very differently; which might seem magical from an audience perspective in a hypnosis show or when reading about someone's experience of hypnosis. Yet it would not create massive long lasting change in a heartbeat.

Overtime hypnosis can empower you to make change faster towards something you want. Some people are more suggestible than others. Yet this is exactly the same as if you had a friend that reminded you of something a couple of times a day.

Most people have what can almost be described by a different personality when they change their the social group they are in. Friends? Family? Work? This is normal. The people around you remind you of what is important, at least to that group. Every moment that you are there that influences you a lot.

Good hypnosis can be seen like the forming of influence with yourself. The words from the hypnosis are like a friend that can gently whisper and remind you of something throughout the day, even when social pressure or the groups you are in thinks or expects something different. It can make change a little faster. It can make change happen that you did not know how to access otherwise.

Therefore it is not surprising if it is the case that hypnosis plays a small part it making you aware of what is truly important for you. If thinking about something makes you feel good somehow, then perhaps it is worthwhile to explore a bit more to be sure. The more you explore, the more you can be sure it truly is good for you.

So is there perhaps something to hypnosis? Can it be dangerous? What about the academy conditioning, can it create inner change? 

You would not be here and listening to hypnosis of this kind or happily doing the conditioning if you have not already given your consent to explore. This means that the root of whatever curiosity or desire is all rooted in what you brought here.

Perhaps a part of your joy for the academy is rooted in something inside of you telling you that exploring this is one the best things you can do, as if it would be important to your well being  and happiness. 

The academy program is going to be good for you. Even if you leave the academy after a while then you will always carry with you a deeper understanding of femininity, of yourself and your gift to allow yourself to explore new things. 

I am biased of course, but it is my aim that every student, regardless of where they end up or the reasons they decided to enroll that they will end up a better person on the way.

And remember:
"There is always more to something than one thinks" -Frida

Do not try to fit who you are or what you like into a simple small box for no reason. Expand and explore, live with courage and curiosity and a big warm hearth. Do not always go with what is comfortable, simple or easy, go with what makes you proud and thrive.

How much you can change using hypnosis has not been decided for you yet. Change is also  , finding the right community and group of people to be around that support you. 

And if you carry any questions about yourself that is not easy to answer then remember to give yourself some reflective time and allow yourself to ask the difficult questions that might be needed in order to grow.

You owe the future you that much <3
