Hypnosis is a state of deep mental and physical relaxation, focused attention, and heightened suggestibility, where the mind is more open to positive suggestions and changes.

Hypnosis is an empowering tool that can help you manage and reduce pain, reduce anxiety, and even improve recovery outcomes in surgery. During your hypnosis sessions, you will be guided into a relaxed state and offered specific suggestions to help you feel good throughout the surgical process.

Hypnosis uses a combination of relaxation, focus, and flow to quiet the buzzy conscious mind and open up the creative subconscious mind to suggestions.

From a relaxed and creative state (called the theta brainwave state), the mind is more open to receiving suggestions for transformation. In this trance state, the mind learns quickly and more effectively, and you are in control the entire time.

Many folks find the experience to be highly relaxing, soothing, and inspiring.

Absolutely not! You are entirely in control during hypnosis. While you will become deeply relaxed and often more focused than your normal alert state of consciousness, you are in complete control of your mind and experiences while in hypnosis. 

Everything that is offered in a hypnosis session is considered a “suggestion” (not a command or demand). You have the ability to accept or reject any suggestions that are offered - like if I were to tell you to take a deep breath right now, you could choose not to. It’s the same in hypnosis. You cannot be hypnotized into doing something you do not wish to do.

No - while hypnosis and meditation often feel similar, they have several key differences and unique features. Some might describe hypnosis a guided meditation with a goal. However, there's more to it than that. 

Meditation aims to focus and strengthen the conscious mind by increasing a person's conscious focused attention on the present moment. For example, you might consciously focus on the sensations of your breath, a mantra, or physical sensations. In doing this, meditation allows you to cultivate a sense of deep acceptance for the present moment, and over time it becomes easier for you to accept the circumstances in your life without judgment. 

Hypnosis, on the other hand, accesses the subconscious mind. Using relaxation and focus techniques, an individual experiencing hypnosis is likely to become less concerned with their surroundings so they can open up their mind to transformation. Additionally, hypnosis sessions are always designed with a very specific goal, while meditation is a generalized practice of strengthening the mind.

In other words, meditation is the act of practicing acceptance of the present moment, and hypnosis is about changing it on purpose.

DAILY SESSIONS

It is recommended that you listen to the Pre-Op Daily Session (20 mins) at least once per day for one to two weeks leading up to your surgery. Note: Research shows that even listening to it a few times before your operation can have significant benefits, so if you are purchasing this program days before your surgery, you will still experience the benefits!

We recommend that you listen to your Post-Op Daily Session (17 mins) at least once per day for one to two weeks after your surgery. Note: Recovery times vary depending on the type of surgery, so if your recovery is longer than two weeks, continue to listen to the recording daily until you feel better.

AS-NEEDED SESSIONS: 

There are additional as-needed sessions that can support you with pain management, anxiety relief, sleep, and more. These sessions can be used at any time and they are entirely optional. The time lengths range from 8-19 minutes.
