What is a trance?

1

A trance is a natural state where your brain produces theta waves, the state most supportive for deep healing and change. It feels like being awake and dreaming at the same time.

You’ve likely experienced trance before:
• That dreamy moment between sleep and wakefulness
• Daydreaming in the shower
• Driving somewhere and forgetting the last few miles
• Getting “in the zone” during exercise or creativity

This is the same state we gently guide your mind into during hypnosis.

What if there’s an emergency? Can I get stuck?

How often should I listen?

Do I need to do anything to prepare?

You cannot get stuck in a trance.

If something urgent happens, like a loud noise or someone needing your attention, you’ll naturally and immediately return to full awareness.

If your audio cuts off for any reason, you’ll gently emerge from the trance within 30–60 seconds on your own, feeling calm and alert.

WILL i talk? Will i lose control?

What if I don’t like a suggestion?

Your subconscious mind is incredibly protective. If any suggestion feels out of place, your mind will simply alter it to accommodate what works for you.

You cannot be made to accept anything that doesn't feel right to you.

And just to clarify: stage hypnosis is not the same as therapeutic hypnosis. Stage hypnotists rely on willing participants who want to entertain. If someone doesn’t want to participate, they naturally come out of trance and are quietly escorted offstage. (Watch for it next time!)

It’s not control; it’s consent.

what will i experience during the audio?

Hypnosis works by speaking directly to the subconscious mind, which governs most of your patterns, beliefs, and behaviors.

When your conscious mind is relaxed (even distracted), we can gently suggest new ways of thinking, feeling, and responding. Through guided visualization, emotional imagery, and sensory cues, your brain begins to form new neural pathways, and your nervous system learns how to feel safe, calm, and aligned.

If you're working through a series of audios: Listen to each one about a week apart to give your mind time to integrate.

If you're working with a single audio: Many times listening once is enough. You can listen every 3–5 days for deeper healing, then as needed.

Trust your intuition. Repetition strengthens the pathway, but your body will often tell you when it’s ready to move on.

For many people, the shift is immediate during the first listen.

For others, changes unfold over the next few hours or days as the subconscious continues to integrate the new patterns.

You may notice your reactions shifting subtly, or feel clearer and calmer in situations that once felt charged.

Find a quiet, private space where you won't be disturbed. If something does interrupt you, a delivery at the door, for example, you'll come out of trance immediately and naturally. If it's minor, you can slip back in once it's handled.

A few things that help:

  1. An eye mask if the room is bright.

  2. Headphones to fully immerse in the audio.

  3. A comfortable chair with head support if you need it — your body will likely relax and go slack, so you want to feel supported.

Don't lie down. Trance requires you to be awake and aware, and most people fall asleep in a horizontal position, which means the session stops working.

Before you listen, read the write-up beneath each session and spend a few minutes with the journal prompts. This step matters more than it might seem, as it activates the specific areas of your mind you're looking to shift, so that when the audio begins, your subconscious knows exactly where to go. Think of it as setting the destination before the journey starts.

Then simply listen. You don't need to concentrate or try to make anything happen. Your subconscious will do the rest.

Every experience is unique, and there’s no right way to experience this.

You may remember every word and have vivid imagery… Or you may drift and not recall much at all. Both are completely normal and equally effective.

Hypnosis works by accessing the subconscious mind, which stores and integrates suggestions whether or not your conscious mind is fully present.

You’ll remain in control the entire time. Even if you feel deeply relaxed or far away, a part of you is always aware of your surroundings, and you are always safe.

There are three parts to getting the most out of a session: before, during, and after.

Before: Take a few minutes to journal on questions like: How does this pattern affect my daily life? When did I first notice it? How will I know when it's no longer running me? Who will I be when it's gone? Note: There are questions beneath each video to help you begin this process.

This actively engages the areas of the brain the session will be working with, so you arrive primed rather than passive.

During: Find somewhere comfortable and private, sit upright with headphones on, and simply listen. You don't need to concentrate, analyze, or try to make anything happen. Your subconscious mind is doing the work.

After: Notice how you feel. Some people want a quiet evening to rest in the shift. Others feel energized and ready to move. Both are correct. You may notice immediate changes, or the shift may appear more gradually, often through how other people begin responding to you before you've consciously registered anything different yourself.

One more thing: progress isn't always linear. You may experience real strides followed by a day or two of slipping back toward the old pattern. That's normal, and you should find you can return to your new baseline with ease. And each time you do make the new choice, it becomes more permanent.

No to both.

There's rarely a need to speak during a session. In private 1:1 work, I may occasionally ask for a brief response for pacing, but in audio sessions you simply listen.

As for control, you never lose it. There is always a part of you that remains aware and watchful. This is the same part that wakes you if the phone rings during a deep sleep, or pulls you out of a daydream when something needs your attention. It works exactly the same way in trance.

This means a few things practically: if your doorbell rings, you'll surface immediately. If something I say doesn't resonate with you, your mind will simply disregard it. If anything felt genuinely wrong or contrary to your values, you'd come out of trance instantly, no effort required.

You also won't reveal anything you wouldn't choose to share. Hypnosis is not a truth serum. Your privacy and your boundaries remain entirely intact throughout.

What you're giving up isn't control; it's effort. You're simply allowing your mind to receive rather than analyze. That's the whole mechanism, and it requires your willing participation at every step.
