What Are Hypnosis Audios?
To answer this question we need to explore what hypnosis and in particular what hypnotherapy is.
Hypnosis
Hypnosis has been around in one form or another for a very long time and can be traced back more than 3000 years to Egypt.
Your mind functions in four stages of consciousness.
First is Beta, the waking state – we can make decisions easily,
Second is Alpha, the brain slows down and narrows its focus This is when we are in a light hypnotic trance and we are 200 times more suggestible.
The third stage is Theta – this is equivalent to a light sleep. In Theta you can easily be woken by a sound or a light touch.
The final stage is Delta – this is a deep sound sleep. Whilst almost anyone can go that deep in normal sleep only about 10% of the population ever go that deep in an hypnotic trance. The chances of you going that deep are very slim.
Both sleep and hypnosis are measured in these four stages.
I am sure you have seen hypnosis used in entertainment shows on TV. This is stage hypnosis and can be very enjoyable to watch.
Unfortunately, most people have been misinformed, mostly by watching TV programmes or films.
Most shows say that a hypnotist has a Svengali hold over you and that hypnosis should be avoided.
Other programmes will say that some you cannot be hypnotised.
This is not true and in fact we usually enter into a light hypnotised state when we are watching TV or movies.
Other examples of a light hypnotic state are, reading a good book, playing video games and driving familiar routes, say to and from work, or even over long distances.
In fact I have experienced this whilst reading a good book or working on my computer, I have been so wrapped up, or focused in what I was doing, and it is only when my mother or wife has called me that I have come out of the focused concentration that has put me into a hypnotic state.
So hypnosis is not unlike driving a car, playing video games or even working on a computer.
In a light hypnotic state, as previously said, we call this Alpha, you are up to 200 times more suggestible than when you are awake.
This is one of the reasons TV advertising works.
So it is good to know that although many people say “I cannot be hypnotised”, in fact they are in a hypnotised state at one time or another throughout the day.
They do not realise this because they are not experiencing the “other worldly impressions” Hollywood and others have lead them to believe hypnosis produces.
As you can see hypnosis is really a natural state that we achieve regularly.
Most people would not think they are in an hypnotic trance, but we know they are. Also it is well-known that the more intelligent a person is the easier it is for them to enter into an hypnotic state.
Geniuses are naturally close to a hypnotic, Alpha, state most of the time, and therefore enter trances easily.
Hypnosis was only taken more seriously in the 1950's when the American Medical Association took proper notice of hypnosis after a patient had their thyroid removed (a thyroidectomy) whilst in an hypnotic trance. No pain killers or anaesthesia were used.
Hypnosis is totally safe, as even in an hypnotic state you have full control over your senses and contrary to popular belief people under hypnosis are not captive and spellbound.
Hypnotherapy is different from hypnosis and especially stage hypnosis.
Let us discover more about hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy uses hypnosis to put someone into a hypnotic trance and then uses a script to make positive changes in your life.
It is a powerful tool.
It has been used by people all over the world to help them achieve their goals, manage stress, change negative beliefs and thought patterns, to heal emotional wounds, eliminate fears and habits, and it has even been used by doctors to treat medical conditions.
As you can see clinical hypnotherapy is by no means a new healing tool. In fact the first usage by healthcare professionals occurred in the 1800's.
Hypnotherapy has become popular because it is an effective tool used to help people safely and can quickly heal many different conditions.
The power of the subconscious and the mind is limitless, and hypnosis is now a well-respected practice.
It is used by doctors, psychologists and even law enforcement.
Through hypnotherapy you can tap into the power of your subconscious and to create the changes you want to make.
Sessions and Costs
Many hypnotherapists will see you between three to six one hour sessions (one session per week).
The first session is usually two hours long and the first hour is used to fill in any forms required and to perform a pre-talk. In this pre-talk many of what has already been discussed will be covered.
The hypnotherapist will also use the first hour to find out why you have come to see them and to create a plan with you.
In the UK a typical hypnotherapy session will cost between £50 to £150 per hour.
In the USA a typical hypnotherapy session will cost between $100 to £500 per hour.
With my clients I usually charged between £150 to £300 per session. Most of my clients were military personnel and actors.
Sometimes premium services are provided.
In the USA Premium services for professionals range from $5000 to $25000 per hour.
Celebrities usually require even more TLC.
My mentor, who usually sees celebrity clients, charges between $10000 to $30000 per session.
Your sessions with a hypnotherapist are always in confidence.
Hypnosis Audios
Now you understand hypnosis and hypnotherapy we can answer the question, “What Are Hypnosis Audios?”
Hypnosis audios are a way for you to get the benefits of hypnotherapy sessions without the hassle of going to visit a hypnotherapist’s office.
Actually you win both ways. Not only are these hypnosis downloads more convenient than going to a therapist, they are much cheaper.
Take a look at the Hypnotherapy Comparison Chart.
Sessions and Costs
With hypnosis audios you generally listen to them for 21 nights before going to sleep. This is in effect 21 days. Compare this to the 28 to 49 days that a typical set of sessions with a hypnotherapist would take.
In the UK each download will cost between £30 to £50.
In the USA each download will cost between $25 to $100.
At Milne Publishing most of our hypnosis audios cost $9.97. We do have some premium audios that have higher prices as indicated in the chart.
Compare hypnosis audio prices to the average sessions. Even at the lower end of the scale, hypnosis audios are inexpensive compared to even 4 hours of hypnotherapy sessions with a hypnotherapist. Take into account the cost of travelling and parking, they are even more so.
Are They Effective?
This is a good question. Because I want you to have full information, I need to be candid with you.
Hypnotherapy sessions with a hypnotherapist are tailored to you specifically, they will use your name and the sessions will be just for you. They may even provide recordings of your sessions to take home with you if this will help you.
Hypnosis Audios however, are more generic, they will not use your name and therefore you might not get a well-focused session. However, I have used hypnosis audios with many people and they do work.
The question you need to ask yourself is, “What can hypnosis audios do for me?”
