Self-Hypnosis, Meditation & Mindfulness: A Quick Guide On Their Differences & How They Can Light Up Your Inner World

A lot of people get mixed up when they try to work out the differences between certain techniques, such as meditation, mindfulness and self-hypnosis.

Are they for relaxing, or are they for stimulating the mind?

Do they follow the same steps?

And are they just different forms of the same thing?

This last question is where many people get confused. And understandably so, however, the answer is a definitive no.

Whilst these practices share commonalities (which is where the confusion comes in) meditation, mindfulness and self-hypnosis are very different practices.

By understanding what these differences are, you can then make an informed decision about how and when to use them – ensuring that you reap the full benefits of these amazing practices.

The Hypnosis Training Academy has put together a short guide detailing the differences of meditation, self-hypnosis and mindfulness to get you started.  

Check it out today so you can gain a deeper connection with the inner workings of your mind... so you can then make powerful transformations in your outer world.

What Is Consciousness? 8 Mind-Blowing Videos That Help Explain The Relatively Unexplainable

Can you hold consciousness in your hand? Or point to it?

No. But that’s a puzzle in itself. After all, how can something that we all experience be so hard to grasp? So difficult to explain? So mysterious that it resists all attempts to define it, to calculate it, and to measure it?

We know that consciousness is a thing. But what else do we know?

Before we try and answer that in full, one thing that we can’t dispute is its infinite power when it comes to change work.

And that how as a hypnotherapist or hypnotist, your understanding of this power underpins everything you do – as you’re constantly working with people who are in various states of consciousness.

So, What Is Consciousness Then?

Rene Descartes famously wrote, “I think, therefore I am.”

That’s possibly the shortest and most succinct definition for consciousness you’re ever likely to find. But it might surprise you to know that it wasn’t even his idea.

Descartes’ phrase appeared in his 1637 work entitled Discourse on the Method. However, Aristotle said pretty much the same thing almost 2000 years earlier, sometime between 384 – 322 BC:

Whoever said it first, the problem still remains.

It tells us what it is, but not how or why it occurs. We can’t isolate a part of the brain and say that’s where consciousness comes from.

According to Wikipedia, consciousness is:

“The state or quality of awareness… being aware of an external object or something within oneself.”

Stuart Sutherland’s entry for the word “consciousness” in the Macmillan Dictionary of Psychology concludes with the phrase:

“… to be conscious it is only necessary to be aware of the external world.”

That’s a pretty basic and straightforward description. And yet, it isn’t enough to satisfy everyone. Many people think the question “what is consciousness?” is unsolvable. There are two reasons why they think that way, which are:

1. Because we might not have enough brainpower to figure it out
2. Because we’re part of the consciousness we’re trying to define and are unable to maintain an objective perspective on the issue

In Part 2 of this interview series on turning your hypnosis passion into a career, we hear from the same hypnotists as Part 1, as they share how they first got hypnosis clients and what they did to overcome any challenges they experienced when first starting out.

They’ll also share their top advice for aspiring hypnotists as well as what they think their lives would look like now life if they hadn’t become professional hypnotists. (Note: The answer to this last question left some feeling very afraid!).

If you’re considering a career in hypnosis, you won’t want to miss Part 2 as it’s full of advice and valuable insights on how to turn your passion into a rewarding career.

You can jump straight in with Part 2 here: Part 2 - From Aspiring To Professional: How To Make A Career Out Of Hypnosis

Are you ready to begin your journey as a professional hypnotist? Join Igor’s upcoming webinar to find out how to turn your passion into a fulfilling career.

PART 1: What Inspired You To Turn Your Passion Into A Career and Become Professional Hypnotist?

For this article, we wanted to do something different.

It’s not going to be a 10-step guide on a certain hypnosis technique.

Or a cool hypnosis demonstration with Igor.

Nope, none of that.

Instead, we wanted to talk about another important topic. One that previously, we have spoken enough about.

Which is: we wanted hear the impact hypnosis has had on the lives of professional hypnotists.

We were curious to learn what their lives were like before they became hypnotists.

To discover how being a hypnotist makes them feel when they get out of bed each day.

To uncover what their most rewarding success stories have been - both as hypnotists and subjects of hypnosis.

And what their lives would look like now if they hadn’t become hypnotists.

In a nutshell, we wanted to understand how helping and connecting with others through hypnosis has unequivocally changed their lives, and the journey they took to get to where they are today.

To do this, we set about interviewing 4 professional hypnotists. Their interviews, which have been broken into two parts, cover:

Part 1 - why they became hypnotists and their journeys as they turned their passion into a rewarding career

Part 2 - their insights and advice on becoming a professional hypnotist, getting clients and overcoming challenges.

But first, we want to share some interesting research on the science behind happiness and how it connects with having a career in hypnosis...

Keep reading to understand what is the Formula For Happiness and Our Biological Need for Connection. Also, find some interesting case studies by Hypnosis Training Academy and video interviews of hypnotists sharing their hypnosis journey.
