What Is The Difference Between Hypnosis And Meditation?

Anyone who has had a successful hypnosis session ultimately becomes perplexed about the distinction between hypnosis and meditation, and for good reason. I have been able to go deeper in brief hypnotic sessions despite having participated in deep meditation retreats in both cases when I have had the most happiness. Additionally, a lot of my clients say that their hypnosis or healing sessions were the darkest states they had ever encountered. So what makes the two different from one another?

Through the process of hypnosis, we can bypass our conscious awareness and rearrange our subconscious minds such that our minds will ultimately be more helpful to us. Hypnosis, however, is still constrained by the mind and operates within the illusion.

Through the practise of meditation, you can completely transcend both your conscious and subconscious minds. The question of whether you complete the trip or not is quite different. Meditation is a practise that involves seeing all we see, letting go of the doing, and simply BEING. Hypnosis, particularly self-hypnosis, belongs to the realm of action.

Since meditation is a very long process that requires first transcending the conscious mind, there are moments when hypnosis or self-hypnosis might deepen our meditation because they appear to occur simultaneously at times.
