SUMMARY:Sound Immersion & Guided Hypnosis for Grounded Self-Assurance
DESCRIPTION:What if creating change didn’t always require trying harder?\nJoin Pamela\, a Certified Hypnotist and Sound Therapist for a deeply relaxing experience combining the restorative sounds of crystal singing bowls with guided hypnosis designed to support grounded self-assurance\, inner calm\, and positive change. \nHypnosis isn’t about giving up control. In many ways\, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. It’s a state of deeply relaxed\, focused attention where you remain aware and able to choose what feels right for you. Think of it as a collaborative conversation between you and the hypnotist\, your mind remains your own\, and suggestions that don’t fit your beliefs or values can simply fall away. \nIf you’ve experienced guided meditation\, hypnosis may feel surprisingly familiar. The difference is that hypnosis intentionally uses focused attention\, imagination and suggestion to work with some of the deeper\, more automatic patterns of the mind where your habits\, expectations and responses that can influence how you think\, feel and act live. \nAnd here’s the beautiful part: you don’t have to “try” to be hypnotized. You can simply get comfortable\, listen\, imagine\, and allow yourself to experience it. \nWe’ll begin with guided hypnosis for grounded self-assurance\, then let the sounds and vibrations of the crystal bowls carry you into an extended period of rest and integration. \nCome curious. Come exactly as you are. \nInvestment: $40 (hst included) \nTo learn more or book:\nvisit: blessyourpath.com\nemail: bl***********@***il.com\ncall: 902-292-3433 \n  \n*To our valued clients: \n Please note that workshops and events at Breathe Mindfulness Centre may be facilitated by licensed mental health professionals or by community-based facilitators. While grounded in practices that support mental and emotional wellbeing\, these offerings are educational in nature and focus on general skill-building. They are not psychological services and are not intended to substitute for or replace therapy. \n\n  \n
