What Hypnosis Is Not
Hypnosis is not:
- Mind control
- Brainwashing
- Shouting the word “sleep” at you
- Making you cluck like a chicken
- “You are getting very sleepy,” with a clock watch
The hypnosis we’re talking about is not entertainment, or like some stage show performance you’ve seen in Vegas or on late-night TV.
It is a powerful tool for transformation that can change the reality and trajectory of your life – FAST.
It’s the primary technique I use to help entrepreneurs scale to seven and eight figures, poker players score six and seven-figure paydays, and golfers play to their potential and take home tournament trophies.
Think of hypnosis as a shortcut to unlearning the emotions, beliefs, and behaviors keeping you stuck by serving as a tool to unlock direct access to your subconscious mind.
Why is this important?
Your subconscious mind influences 95 percent of your behavior.
You can reach the origin of the learned emotions, beliefs, and behaviors (destructive mindset programs) keeping you stuck through hypnosis. And, you can rapidly unlearn these programs and upgrade them to help you thrive rather than survive.
So, what is hypnosis, exactly?
What Hypnosis Is
Hypnosis is a fancy word to describe “a state of deep relaxation aimed at effecting positive change.”
Hypnosis is a natural state of mind. Depending on what time of day it is when you’re reading this, you’ve already been in a hypnotic state at least a few times.
This hypnotic state, which is characterized by the primary production of theta brain waves, is the state you’re in when:
- You transition from sleeping to waking in the morning
- You’re lost in a good book or TV show
- You’re intensely focused on a project at work
- You’re immensely present – in the zone – on the golf course
- You transition from waking to sleeping at night
I share this to highlight that hypnosis is safe and that anyone, yes, even you, can be hypnotized.
Remember, it’s simply a state of deep relaxation, and you’re awake, alert, conscious, and in control every step of the way.
