Spiritual Hypnosis for Emotional Trauma

Enjoy the following post by a guest writer: Gareth Michael

Spiritual hypnosis is a unique form of healing that blends hypnosis with spiritual practices to help people heal from emotional trauma. It goes beyond just focusing on the mind, and instead taps into our higher consciousness to release deep wounds and find balance. This approach is effective because it helps people not only address emotional pain but also connect with their inner wisdom too.

In this article, we’ll explore how spiritual hypnosis works, how it can help heal emotional trauma, and what makes it different from regular hypnosis. Can it really help you with healing emotional trauma? And what makes it so effective? Read on to discover the answers to all your spiritual hypnosis questions.

What is Spiritual Hypnosis?

Spiritual hypnosis combines hypnosis with spiritual practices to help people heal on a deeper level. While regular hypnosis focuses on the mind, e.g. changing habits or reducing stress, spiritual hypnosis works more on soul-level healing, helping people with releasing emotional pain, deepening mindfulness and improving self-awareness. It can involve exploring past lives, energy clearing, or receiving guidance from universal consciousness.

Spiritual hypnosis is different from regular hypnosis because it focuses on the spiritual side of healing. Clinical hypnosis is used for things like anxiety or bad habits, while spiritual hypnosis looks at a person more holistically, healing not just the mind, but the soul. It’s also different from self-hypnosis, where you guide yourself.

Spiritual hypnosis is usually done with a practitioner who helps you connect on a deeper level. It works through psychospiritual integration, which focuses on integrating both the psychological and spiritual aspects of your being.

How Does Spiritual Hypnosis Work?

Spiritual hypnosis uses deep relaxation to create vibrational frequency shifts, which help you heal emotionally and spiritually. The process starts by guiding you into a relaxed, trance-like state, often called the Theta brainwave state. In this state, your brain waves slow down, making you more receptive to healing.

Once in a deep state of relaxation, techniques like guided visualizations are used to help you release subconscious programming and heal past trauma. You might be asked to imagine letting go of negative feelings or to visualize a peaceful place where healing can take place. These suggestions help with overcoming limiting beliefs, and encourage healthier, more positive habits in your life.

Spiritual hypnosis also uses post-hypnotic suggestions, which are positive statements or instructions given while you’re in the hypnotic trance. For example, a suggestion might be, “You are confident and calm in any situation” or “You easily release old emotional wounds.” Your subconscious mind takes these in and this helps you with breaking negative behavioral patterns and replacing them with healthier, more empowering beliefs and behaviors.

Another powerful tool in spiritual hypnosis is the use of neurolinguistic programming (NLP) to introduce neurolinguistic patterns. NLP helps rewire the subconscious mind by using language and mental imagery to shift limiting beliefs and behaviors.

A big part of spiritual hypnosis is working with your subconscious mind, which holds onto memories, feelings, and past experiences. Sometimes, old trauma or emotions get buried deep within, and this can cause physical or emotional symptoms. Through a process called somatic memory processing, a practitioner can help you to uncover and process hidden memories, which can help you release the emotional pain caused by them.

Benefits of Spiritual Hypnosis for Emotional Trauma

Spiritual hypnosis is a powerful tool for healing emotional trauma. When we experience emotional pain, whether it’s from grief, anger, or old wounds, those feelings can get stuck in our subconscious. This can lead to negative patterns and emotional blocks that affect our well-being. Spiritual hypnosis helps uncover and release these emotions, allowing you to heal.

It can also help us with resolving inner conflicts. Often, our conscious desires don’t match the beliefs or emotions stored in our subconscious. For example, you may consciously want to move forward in life, but your subconscious mind might still be holding onto old pain or fear, which can block your progress. Through hypnosis, the practitioner helps align your conscious and subconscious minds, helping you to clear any blocks.

Another significant benefit is restoring inner peace. Many of us carry negative patterns that stem from past trauma we have experienced. Spiritual hypnosis helps let go of these old patterns by teaching the subconscious to react in healthier ways, which brings more peace and balance into your life, even helping us with aligning with life purpose.

On a deeper level, spiritual hypnosis also supports your spiritual growth. It helps with higher self connection, which can bring more clarity and guidance into your life. Many practitioners also use regression therapy techniques like past life regression therapy or ego-state therapy to help you uncover trauma from past experiences, or even from previous lifetimes, and heal at the root of the issue.

Spiritual hypnosis can deepen your healing journey by helping you tap into Akashic Records, which is believed to be a spiritual library that holds the records of every soul’s journey. Addressing these deep-rooted patterns can help you to break karmic cycles, or even achieve karmic resolution, allowing you to move forward without carrying your energetic past with you.

How Does Spiritual Hypnosis Feel?

Being in a hypnotic trance during spiritual hypnosis feels like being deeply relaxed yet aware and focused. You’ll feel calm and peaceful, but still aware of everything around you. It’s like being in a daydream, where you’re both relaxed and fully present at the same time. You may notice a sense of lightness or floating, and time might feel like it slows down.

Throughout the session, you’ll feel safe, supported, and in control. It’s important to know that hypnosis is a collaborative process – you can never be made to do something against your will and if you ever feel uncomfortable, you can speak up or come out of the trance at any time.

Many people worry about whether they’ll be able to relax enough or if hypnosis will work for them. The good news is that most people can be hypnotized with the help of a skilled practitioner. The key is being open and willing to relax and let go, which happens naturally in a safe and supportive setting.

What to Expect During and After Hypnosis

If you’re thinking about trying hypnosis, you might be wondering what happens during a session. Here’s a quick breakdown of what you can expect so that you feel more confident and relaxed going into your session:

During Hypnosis:

• Deep relaxation – You’ll feel deeply relaxed. Your body will feel lighter and your mind will quiet down. It will feel similar to the feeling you get just before falling asleep but you won’t actually fall into a sleep state.
• Focused awareness – You’ll feel aware of what’s going on around you, including hearing the practitioner’s voice or sounds in the room, but at the same time, you’ll be focused on connection with your emotions.
• More receptivity – In this relaxed state, your mind will become more open to positive suggestions and healing. As the practitioner guides you through visualizations or healing, you might notice vivid images, emotions, or physical sensations coming up.
• Feeling safe and in control – you’ll feel safe and supported. During hypnosis you’ll feel in control the whole time and if anything feels uncomfortable, you can tell your practitioner and come out of the trance at any moment.

After Hypnosis:

• Feeling refreshed and calm – After the session, you’ll feel deeply relaxed. Many people feel a sense of peace and clarity, like an emotional weight has been lifted.
• Increased awareness – Hypnosis is great for enhancing spiritual awareness. You may experience intuitive insights or divine guidance that comes to you after the session, such as answers to questions or a deeper understanding of your life. This is your subconscious mind working with the suggestions you’ve received.
• Emotional shifts – It’s common to feel lighter or more at peace, as hypnosis helps with strengthening emotional resilience. But you might also experience a release of emotions. This is a sign that you’re letting go of old blocks or trauma.
• Gradual changes – In the next few days or weeks after your session, you may notice gradual shifts in your behavior, thinking or emotional responses. New patterns will continue to unfold as your subconscious mind integrates the work done during the session.

How to Get Started with Spiritual Hypnosis

Getting started with spiritual hypnosis is easier than you might think. Here are a few practical tips to help you find a qualified hypnotherapist:

• Check Credentials

Look for a practitioner who is certified in therapeutic hypnosis. Certification ensures they have the necessary skills and knowledge to guide you safely.

• Ask the right questions

Before booking a session, ask the practitioner about their experience with spiritual hypnosis, their approach, and what to expect during your session.

• Try self-guided techniques

If you’re not ready to try hypnosis with a practitioner, you can start exploring spiritual hypnosis on your own by using guided meditations. These can help you get a feel for the process and see if it’s something that resonates with you.

• Try personalized sessions

Consider reaching out to experienced professionals like Dr. Nancy Irwin, who specializes in spiritual hypnosis and can guide you through personalized sessions that are tailored to your specific needs.
