Hypnosis: a journey to the core of oneself
Hypnosis is not just a show to entertain; it is primarily a gateway to our hypnotic imagination. During the evening in La Rivière-de-Corps, Aline Martins, hypnotherapist and trainer, opened a dialogue around this powerful tool for personal transformation. She presented hypnosis as an exploration of consciousness and the unconscious. Far from the misconception that one loses control, participants quickly understood that hypnosis offers a hypnotic serenity and access to unforeseen resources.
What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is an altered state of consciousness, similar to daydreaming. You may have already felt this sensation when absorbed in a good book or a captivating movie. Hypnosis exploits this ability to intensely focus on a single subject while reducing conscious activity. It is in this state that our hypnotic mind is most receptive to new suggestions and behavioral transformations.
- Creation of new habits 💪
- Pain management 🩹
- Improvement of sleep 💤
Participants could rest easy knowing that hypnosis can be used in various fields, from medicine to therapy. A striking example is hypnosis used to help children during medical procedures without subjecting them to the side effects of medications.
Unveiling the unconscious
Hypnosis allows to reveal buried emotions and memories, often the source of blockages or negative thought patterns. For example, a participant shared his experience where, through hypnosis, he could confront an irrational fear related to water, which paralyzed him in his daily life. Through self-hypnosis sessions, he was able to mentally project himself into a swimming pool, relax, and transform this fear into confidence. A true hypnotic dream come true! 🌊

The difference between hypnosis and self-hypnosis
In the room, Aline explained that self-hypnosis is a skill that everyone can develop. It’s like learning to drive: once you have the steering wheel in hand, it’s easy to embark on personal inner journeys. Through self-hypnosis, you can recharge whenever you want, in the comfort of your home or in your quiet corner.
How to practice self-hypnosis?
Let’s assume that learning self-hypnosis is a path to autonomy. Here are a few simple steps to get you started:
- Choose a quiet place where you feel comfortable 🌅
- Take a few moments to focus on your breathing 🌬️
- Visualize a calming place, like a beach or a forest 🌲
- Repeat positive affirmations to anchor your desires
The benefits of self-hypnosis
The feedback on self-hypnosis is often laudatory. Participants at the evening in La Rivière-de-Corps shared numerous benefits:
- Improvement in academic and professional performance 📚
- Stress and emotion management
- Boost in self-confidence 💼
Why is hypnosis a controversial topic?
You may wonder why, despite its benefits, hypnosis remains a controversial subject. The answer lies in the popular perception, often influenced by the sensationalism present in hypnosis shows. Many people confuse therapeutic hypnosis with entertainment, which damages its image.
Myths about hypnosis
There are several persistent myths that hinder a clear understanding of what hypnosis truly is:
- One can be forced to do things against their will ❌
- It’s a form of mind control 🔮
- Only certain people can be hypnotized 🧑🤝🧑
In La Rivière-de-Corps, Aline demystified these misconceptions by explaining that each individual has their own predisposition to hypnosis, and it is primarily a collaboration between the hypnotherapist and the patient.
| Hypnosis Myths | Reality |
|---|---|
| You remember everything that happened during trance | Not necessarily, the state can erase certain memories |
| Hypnotists have special powers | It requires specific practice and skills |
| All hypnosis is entertaining spectacle | Hypnosis has serious therapeutic applications |
