Description

What do you think of when you hear the word “hypnosis?” Is it a on-stage comedy act? Or a deep healing modality?

This week, I was so honored to sit down with Laurnie Wilson, a seasoned hypnotherapist, yoga teacher, and intuitive guide, to explore the history, transformative power, and misunderstood aspects of the word (and practice) “hypnosis.”

Diving into this word also served as a good reminder that often the practices we, well, practice today, are much older than the English word we use to identify it.

Tune in to learn…

• The evolution of “hypnosis” from ancient practices to modern therapeutic techniques.
• Common misconceptions about hypnosis and how the history of the word has influenced our perception of the word today (hint: it's about so much more than "sleep").
• Insights into the cultural and personal narratives that shape our understanding of hypnosis.
• A few practical tips for getting started with hypnosis, even if it sounds a bit scary.
