FAQS

• Hypnosis is a trance-like or dream-like mental state, that can often affect the whole-body experience,
  in which people experience increased attention, concentration and suggestibility. While hypnosis is
  often described as a sleep-like state, it is better expressed as a state of focused attention, heightened
  suggestibility and vivid visualisations. People in a hypnotic state often appear as though they are in a
  sleepy or zoned out state, but in actual fact, they are in a hyper-state of awareness.
• 
  
• While there are many myths and misconceptions, hypnosis is a very real process that can be used as
  a highly successful therapeutic tool. It is important to know that although while in the hypnotic state
  you are more open to suggestions and creating awareness, you do NOT lose control of your
  behaviour or what suggestions you choose to accept or reject. You are always in control and you
  cannot be hypnotised against your will. It is a voluntary altering of your own consciousness, and you
  are always in control. In other words, you are hypnotising yourself.

There are a few different ways that hypnosis can be delivered:

1. Guided Hypnosis

At GenZen Healing Hub, our guided hypnosis audios are designed to bring the life-changing benefits
of personalised hypnotherapy straight to you. Each recording is carefully curated and customised
around specific subject matter and titles, ensuring they meet individual needs as closely as possible.
These audios have been created to make hypnotherapy accessible to everyone, regardless of your
time schedule or financial budget. Think of them as 'therapy in your pocket'—available 24/7 to
support your well-being whenever you need it.

What sets our recordings apart is the inclusion of accompanying explanatory audios that go beyond
the hypnosis session itself. These explanatory tracks provide a deeper understanding of the related
title and themes, helping you engage not just your subconscious but also your conscious mind. This
allows you to fully comprehend and integrate the information, enhancing your ability to bring
desired changes into your reality. With this unique approach, our recordings offer both the soothing
transformation of guided hypnosis and the empowering clarity of conscious understanding, helping
you on your personal development journey.

2. Personalised One-on-One Hypnotherapy

Personalised one-on-one hypnotherapy sessions are a therapeutic way to explore and cultivate
personal growth. At their core, they are designed entirely around the individual's specific needs,
goals, and challenges. A qualified hypnotherapist works closely with you in a private setting, creating
a safe and comfortable space to fully focus on what’s important to you. These sessions are tailored to
address areas in your life where you feel you need support, whether that’s easing anxiety, overcoming
fears, building confidence, or fostering emotional resilience.

Hypnotherapy works by gently guiding your mind into a deeply relaxed yet focused state, often
referred to as a trance. While you remain fully aware and in control, this state allows you to access the
subconscious mind more easily, tackling underlying patterns and beliefs that may be holding you
back. Together with your hypnotherapist, you’ll work on re-shaping these patterns to align with the
changes you want to see in yourself. It’s a process based on collaboration and trust, where open
communication shapes the direction of each session.

The benefits of personalised hypnotherapy can be profound. It offers a space to explore your inner
world in a way that feels supportive and empowering. Many individuals find it helpful for reducing
stress, improving sleep, or managing habits they wish to change. Others use it as a tool for self-
discovery and personal development, unlocking inner potential and enhancing their overall sense of
well-being.

Each session is as unique as the person taking part, ensuring that the focus always remains on what
feels right for you. Through this individualised approach, hypnotherapy can bring clarity, balance, and
a renewed sense of confidence into your life.

3. Self-Hypnosis

Self-hypnosis is a self-directed technique where individuals learn to guide themselves into a state of
focused relaxation, often referred to as a hypnotic state. This method allows people to access their
subconscious mind in a gentle and controlled way, making it an effective tool for relaxation, stress
management, and enhancing overall well-being.

The process of self-hypnosis typically involves creating a calm environment, focusing your thoughts
inward, and using techniques like visualisation, affirmations, or deep breathing. By entering this state
of heightened awareness and relaxation, you can work on shifting patterns or beliefs that may no
longer serve you. The beauty of self-hypnosis is that it puts the control entirely in your hands, giving
you the flexibility to practise whenever and wherever it feels right for you.

The benefits of self-hypnosis can be wide-ranging and deeply personal. For some, it’s a gentle way to
alleviate stress or find moments of calm in a busy life. Others use it to nurture a positive mindset,
improve focus, or support personal goals such as boosting confidence or improving sleep. Because
it’s self-led, self-hypnosis can be tailored entirely to your needs, empowering you to engage with your
own well-being on your terms.

This practice can become a valuable part of your self-care routine, offering a cost-effective and
flexible approach to achieving balance and cultivating a sense of inner peace. Over time, self-
hypnosis can help foster a deeper connection with yourself, encouraging clarity, resilience, and a
renewed sense of control over your mental and emotional state.

Hypnosis is increasingly becoming more widely accepted and mainstream as a complimentary
therapy. It offers relief and support in every area of your life and is most often used to help you gain
control over undesired behaviours, to help with stress release, increase relaxation and wellbeing, pain
relief and much more.

We all have the ability to re-wire the neural pathways within our brain, all we need is the right tools
and a little know how. Hypnosis is a highly functional and deeply transformational way to release and
realign attitudes, patterns, behaviours and “emotional baggage”, rather than suffer a lifetime of
emotional dis-ease to the inability of the conscious mind to make the required changes to achieve
inner peace.

It is important to acknowledge that hypnosis is one of many therapeutic approaches to support
people to overcome challenging areas of life and to increase wellbeing, however, it is not the right fit
for everyone.

Hypnosis can be a useful way to assist with the relief of many afflictions and ailments that are
physical, mental or emotional.

This is a brief list of some of the most common applications:

• Emotional regulation and creating a calmer, balanced state of mind
• Improved sleep quality and establishing healthier sleep patterns
• Reduced stress and identifying ways to manage daily pressures
• Alleviation of anxiety, frustration, anger, and other overwhelming emotions
• Building healthier, more effective relationships through improved communication
• Quit smoking and overcoming other addictive habits or behaviours
• Weight management and developing a healthier relationship with food
• Pain relief, including support for chronic pain, injuries, illnesses, or ailments
• Enhancing performance in work, sports, or creative pursuits
• Releasing emotional pain or trauma in a safe, supportive way
• Facilitating positive behavioural changes for personal growth
• Focussing on achieving life goals with greater confidence and clarity
• Boosting self-esteem and nurturing a positive self-image
• Addressing phobias or irrational fears to regain control over your life
• Strengthening resilience and fostering emotional well-being during challenging times
• Supporting grief or loss and providing tools to process difficult emotions
• Cultivating a deeper connection with your subconscious for self-awareness
• Overcoming procrastination and improving focus or motivation
• Managing physical manifestations of stress, such as tension or headaches
• Encouraging relaxation and moments of calm in a busy lifestyle

• Hypnosis is a flexible, adaptable tool that can be customised to help with whatever area of life you
  feel needs attention, offering profound and meaningful results.

Most people are often unaware that they are in a hypnotic trance state, because there is no one thing
that occurs to say “You are now hypnotised!”.

However, there are common feelings and sensations that are commonly associated with a
therapeutically induced state of hypnosis. For many people, hypnosis is a deeply relaxing experience
and it invokes a whole-body relaxation.

The way people typically describe the feeling of being hypnotised during hypnotherapy is to be in a
calm, physically, and mentally relaxed state. In this state, they are able to focus deeply on what they
are consciously thinking about and discover what sub-conscious and un-conscious patterns have
been the force behind their life experiences.

It is often referred to meditation with a goal. It is a state of focused attention to specifically create
awareness with the aim of integrating and realigning to a consciously desired outcome.

THE HYPNOTIC STATE

The brain has different levels of consciousness, or awareness, ranging from fully alert to drowsy to
fully asleep, with variations in between. Hypnotic states occur naturally and spontaneously.

Everyday examples include:

• Daydreaming
• Being absorbed in a pleasant task and losing track of time
• Doing a mundane task (such as washing the dishes) while thinking about
• something else, to the degree that you can’t actually remember performing the task
• Getting lulled into a dreamy state by boredom, for example, when listening to a dull speech.

Clinical hypnosis deliberately induces this kind of relaxed state of awareness. Once the mind is in a
relaxed state, any therapeutic suggestions can have great effect on attitudes, perceptions and
behaviours. The way that this occurs isn’t fully understood. Some researchers believe that hypnosis
promotes particular brain wave activity that allows the mind to take in and adopt new ideas, while
others suggest that hypnosis accesses the ‘unconscious mind’, which is more open to new ideas than
the rational ‘conscious mind’.

To better understand the mysteries of “how” hypnosis works, it is important to understand a little bit
of science about the different brain-wave frequencies and how they are measured.

Hypnosis takes place in the Alpha and Theta brain wave state which are described in order below.

1) Beta (14-40Hz)– The Waking Consciousness and Reasoning Wave

Beta brain waves are associated with normal waking consciousness and a heightened state of
alertness, logic and critical reasoning. This is the state we are in while we work, have conversations
and interactions in our daily lives.

While Beta brain waves are important for effective functioning throughout the day, they also can
translate into stress, anxiety and restlessness. The voice of Beta can be described as the voice in our
head or our constant stream of thought.

2) Alpha (7.5-14Hz)– The Deep Relaxation Wave

During deep relaxation Alpha brain waves are present. This occurs usually, when the eyes are closed.
This is when you are drifting into a calm mental space of pleasant day-dream or light meditation. It is
the prime-time to realign the neural pathways for success. This brain-wave also heightens your
imagination, visualization, memory, learning and concentration.

It is the gateway to your subconscious mind and lies at the base of your conscious awareness. When
you consciously connect with the Alpha brain-waves you are able to directly connect with your inner
guidance. The voice of intuition becomes clearer and more profound the closer you get to 7.5Hz. This
is an optimal state for hypnotherapy. This is a time when the constant chatter of the Beta state
monkey-mind diminishes significantly and the subconscious mind is open to suggestion.

3) Theta (4-7.5Hz)– The Light Meditation And Sleeping Wave

The realm of your subconscious mind is accessible when you have achieved Theta brain waves. This
most commonly occurs during deep meditation and light sleep, including the all-important REM
dream state. This is an allusive window as you only have access to it for a short time in the moments
before you drift off to sleep from Alpha and wake from deep sleep (from Delta).

Your most foundational patterns and programs are able to be accessed when you achieve Theta
brain-waves. During this state you are able to experience vivid visualisations, profound inspiration,
amazing creativity and exceptional insight.

It is at the Alpha-Theta precipice, from 7Hz to 8Hz, where the optimal range for visualization and
hypnosis or re-aligning of your neural pathways begins. This is an extremely potent state for creation.
It is the mental state which you consciously create your reality. At this frequency, you are conscious of
your surroundings however your body is in deep relaxation. This is the description of what hypnosis is.
It isn’t sleep, it isn’t a magic trick, it’s simply a relaxed brain wave state.

4) Delta (0.5-4Hz) – The Deep Sleep Wave

The Delta frequency is the slowest of the frequencies and is experienced in deep, dreamless sleep.
Delta is the realm of your unconscious mind, and the gateway to the collective unconscious, where
information received is otherwise unavailable at the conscious level.

Among many things, deep sleep is important for the healing process – as it’s linked with deep
healing and regeneration. When people don’t get enough deep sleep it is detrimental to their health
in more ways than one. Once a person is in the Delta state even though their subconscious mind is
very active, hypnosis would not be effective because the person would not be able to hear the
suggestions given. This is a time when the subconscious is like a computer sorting, filing, organizing
and discarding data.

5) Gamma (above 40Hz) – The Insight Wave

This range is the most recently discovered and is the fastest frequency at above 40Hz. While little is
known about this state of mind, initial research shows Gamma waves are associated with bursts of
insight and high-level information processing.

To ensure that you are maximising your opportunity to achieve the best results it is important for you
to follow these guidelines:

1. Ensure you are not going to be interrupted or disturbed
2. Turn all devices off and mute notifications
3. Go to the bathroom prior to commencing your session
4. Make sure the space you are going to be in while you are in hypnosis is comfortable, quiet and
   private
5. Ensure that you are sitting or laying comfortably with your head and back fully supported
6. Commit to yourself the regular time needed to achieve the desired outcome
7. Be as specific as you can about your intended goal or outcome
8. Go with the flow
9. Be ready for change
10. Trust what comes, it is your process, you are in complete control
11. Commit to regular listening for a minimum of 7 days to achieve the best results for yourself
12. Have fun!

You are ready to nurture yourself and improve your wellbeing. Take this commitment seriously and
give yourself the time and environment that this commitment requires to achieve the best results.

It is important to remove all distractions during this time and to find a space that is comfortable for
you to be in and that you won’t be interrupted.

It is recommended to use headphones to reduce any further distractions and to achieve the best
results. However, listening to the audios through speakers will also work.

You can listen to these recordings as many times as you feel drawn to. To support the realignment of
neural pathways it is recommended to listen for at least a minimum of 21 days, however, you will
know what is right for you.

Natal hypnosis, often called hypnobirthing, is a technique that uses the power of focused intention &
positive suggestion to alleviate fears of women preparing to journey through pregnancy, birth &
beyond in order to make their experience of pregnancy, labour & deliver less stressful & in some
cases, less painful.

The technique taps into a part of the brain that helps you cope with fear and anxiety.

It is important during pregnancy for a woman to be able to easily & effortlessly maintain a sense of
calm & wellbeing. The physical, mental, emotional & spiritual relationship between a mama & her
child is symbiotic in nature. This simply means, that the health & wellbeing of one naturally affects
the other. When the mama is in balance with her wellbeing it encourages & supports optimum
growth, development, health & wellbeing of her child.

When the body is experiencing stress, fear, worry or anxiety it will naturally respond by producing
higher levels of adrenaline & cortisol. Adrenaline & cortisol are hormones that make the body’s
muscles tense & tight. When these hormones are elevated, the body is preparing for it’s natural reflex
of fight, flight or freeze – survival mode. This state is not conducive to relaxing & allowing the body to
do what it needs to do when it comes to making the experience of birth & delivery as easy & effortless
as possible.

If a woman is stressed, unhappy, angry or distressed, this adversely affects her ability to conceive &
the development of the child. Due to this symbiotic relationship, if a mama is adversely affected by
stress, unhappiness, anger or distress chances are her child will react by having difficulty with
sleeping, feeding, temperament & tend to cry more.

Hypnosis is increasingly becoming more common as a natural support for women to address any
stress, fear, worry or anxiety that may arise during their pregnancy journey to encourage them to
balance & harmonise your physical, mental, emotional & spiritual health & wellbeing.

The technique of hypnotherapy can be helpful in addressing morning sickness, energy levels,
improved sleep & over all preparing your body, mind & energy for the journey of becoming a mama
throughout pregnancy, birth & beyond.

There is much current research showing that hypnosis is a useful application for supporting the
woman physically, mentally, emotionally & energetically as it assists in the overall health & wellbeing
of the woman, which encourages optimum development, health & wellbeing of the child.

So, in short, the answer is YES. Hypnosis during pregnancy is a safe complimentary therapeutic
approach to supporting overall health & wellbeing, while giving the woman an opportunity to be
nurtured through any challenges that may arise throughout her experience of pregnancy, birth &
beyond.

Hypnosis is a safe and natural process for most people, offering a range of therapeutic benefits when
guided by a trained professional or practised responsibly through self-hypnosis. It is non-invasive, and
individuals remain in control throughout the experience. However, there are some cases where
hypnosis may not be the most suitable option.

While rare, the following situations or conditions might make hypnosis inappropriate or require
careful assessment by a qualified professional beforehand:

• Severe mental health conditions, such as psychosis or schizophrenia, where reality perception
  may already be impaired
• Epilepsy, due to the unpredictable nature of seizure triggers
• Significant trauma history, where hypnosis may need to be approached with extra caution to
  avoid distress
• Cognitive impairments that hinder understanding or focus, making it difficult to fully engage with
  the sessions

If you have any concerns or a known condition, it’s always best to consult a medical professional or
your hypnotherapist beforehand to ensure this approach is right for you.
