HYPNOTIC MEDITATION - WHEN TIME IS OF THE ESSENCE

If you’ve never tried Hypnotic Guided Meditation, it's a lot like hypnosis, but quicker.

It's perfect for cheering you up, calming you down, or focusing your mind - when that's what you need - without the intensity of hypnotic trance. You can do it just about anytime and anywhere.

Guided Meditation (the way I do it) offers you a brief, comfortable escape from reality, to clear your thoughts and reset your mind.

It's more practical than spiritual. It's designed to nourish, refresh, and heal you, in the gentlest way.

In addition to my professional vocal content, I've selected some really great meditation music for these sessions.

Just find a comfy spot, play the track, and treat yourself to some refreshing me-time, whenever and wherever you like.

Rick Smith HPD DHyp,

Guided meditation and hypnosis are both powerful techniques for achieving mental clarity and relaxation, but they serve distinct purposes. In guided meditation your narrator leads you through calming visualisations and breathing exercises, making it particularly useful when time is short.

Meditation helps reduce stress, enhance focus, and improve overall well-being, often in just a few minutes. Hypnosis, on the other hand, delves deeper into the subconscious mind to address specific issues such as smoking cessation, weight loss, or overcoming fears.

While both techniques use similar methods of relaxation and mental imagery, guided meditation is more about maintaining daily mental balance, whereas hypnosis is typically used for targeted therapeutic outcomes. Each has its unique application, yet both can be integral to a holistic approach to mental health and self-improvement.
