Jaclyn Beckerman Coaching

Well, turns out it’s just being put in to a trance state. Which is what you’re automatically in when you go to sleep and when you wake up, when you’re driving a car or watching TV or a movie.

I went to the NYC chapter International Coaching Federation monthly meeting tonight where Debra Berndt, a well trained hypnosis coach, presented. She told us all about how hypnosis works and taught us some basics for how to use it on ourselves as well as our clients. She took us through a grounding meditation as well as an amazing short hypnosis. We went into a really deep trance and were to repeat new suggestions we had created to reverse our old negative thought patterns and visualize having these new things in the future.. To put it mildly, this was fantastic.

So to further explain the point of hypnosis, you have your conscious mind and your subconscious mind. If what you want is not what you have – it’s because of some negative core belief you hold in your subconscious (usually made up before the age of 9) and the subconscious belief is not changeable at the conscious level. In hypnosis, you go beyond the conscious mind directly to the subconscious where a difference can be made. The actual act of being hypnotized really just involves you going within into (often extreme) relaxation. This allows your subconscious to emerge – from here you can find your true blocks and suggest new beliefs.

Naturally, I’ve subsequently determined that I’m tremendously interested in further learning how to do this and adding hypnosis to my practice as a service I offer. What can I say? I love this stuff.

And yet again, as has been consistently showing up in my world, she also told us how being with those of a higher consciousness or who have what you want will carry you up to their level by the force of a community and bring you those things as well. Sounds like my friend and goose stories, no?

Anyway, I bought one of her hypnosis CD’s on success and will be listening to it. That and have promised to follow up with her about possibly doing an individual session. (She also does past life regressions by the way).

Have you ever been hypnotized before? What was your experience with it?
