5 Types of Brainwaves in Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression

5 Types of Brainwaves in Hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression

Let’s take a look at the topic of brainwaves and the role they play in the process of hypnotherapy and Past Life Regression. As you may well know our brains work in frequencies and the specific frequency depends on the level of brain activity.

There are 5 distinct brain wave frequencies namely a Beta, Alpha, Theta, Delta, and the most recently added, the Gamma frequency.

Each of these individual frequencies are typically measured in cycles per second or in Hertz, and each one has its own set of characteristics representing a specific level of the brain’s activity, and also a unique state of mental consciousness. To better understand these different brain frequencies and why it is so important to understand them in the context of Past Life Regression and hypnotherapy, let’s take a look at these frequencies individually.

The frequency resonating between 14-40Hz is known as the Beta state. Now you don’t have to remember the exact wavelengths of these frequencies, as long as you know what it is called and what it represents. The Beta state is the normal waking consciousness and reasoning state of mind. It is typically associated with a heightened state of alertness, logic, and critical reasoning on the positive side, but it can also translate into stress, fear, anxiety, and general restlessness. So in our everyday life, we spend most of our waking hours in a Beta wave state of mind.

Between 7.5-14 Hz we find the Alpha wave. Alpha waves are generally present during states of deep physical and mental relaxation, usually when the eyes are closed, such as during a daydream, or during a light meditation. The Alpha state of mind represents the optimal time to program and reprogram the mind for success.

It is also useful for heightening your imagination, visualization memory, and to maximize learning and concentration. The alpha wave is the gateway to your subconscious mind and is the voice of your intuition, which becomes clearer and much more profound the closer your brain gets to 7.5Hz.

Next is the Theta wave, which falls between 4-7.5Hz. Theta waves are present during hypnosis sessions, during deep meditation, and also during light sleep, which of course includes the all-important REM dream state of sleep. The Theta wave literally represents the essence or the realm of your subconscious mind.

Interesting to know is that it is on the alpha-theta border, ranging from 7Hz to 8Hz, is where the optimal range for visualization, mind programming, and harnessing the creative power of our minds begin. Now, and this is very important. This state, when literally hovering on this borderline between Alpha and Theta, exists the mental state in which you consciously create your reality.

During this state, you are conscious of your surroundings while your body is in a state of deep relaxation. You will find this borderline level most commonly in a hypnotized client.

Next, we look at the Delta wave that commonly resonates between 0.5-4Hz. This is the deep sleep wave. The Delta wave is the slowest of the brainwave frequencies and is only experienced during deep, dreamless sleep, as well as in very deep states of transcendental meditation and also during sessions of deep hypnosis, where the mental awareness is fully detached.

This represents the deep realm of the unconscious mind and is the gateway to the universal mind and the collective unconscious, where information is otherwise unavailable at the conscious level. This means that the information and memories stored here cannot be retrieved or remembered while we are in our normal functioning state of mind. It is also interesting to note that this level, being the Delta level of deep sleep, is important for the body and mind’s healing processes, as it is linked with deep healing and also regeneration.

Lastly, we take a look at Gamma waves, which resonate above 40Hz. Also known as The Insight Wave, it is the most recently discovered of the known brainwaves and is also the fastest frequency. Little is still known about this particular state of mind, however initial research shows that Gamma brain waves are associated with bursts of insight and high–level information processing inside our brains. An important point to note is that there is no such thing as a “gamma state” of mind. Gamma waves largely play a supporting, yet integral role in the functioning of the brain. From an EEG point of view, they will be present mostly while a person is in the waking state, but Gamma waves will always be supported by the beta, alpha, theta, or delta ranges.

As the guide, facilitator, or hypnotherapist it is your responsibility to make sure that you know how to recognize the different stages of brainwave activity in your client and to ensure that your client reaches the appropriate level of trance for the work to be done. And this is why it is vitally important to know not only the different types of brainwaves but also what each one is best used for and how to recognize the difference between them.

Wake Up and Grow Up with Meta Hypnotherapy: Two Types of Personal Development

Wake Up and Grow Up with Meta Hypnotherapy: Two Types of Personal Development

During the last 30 years, we have witnessed a historical first: all of the world’s cultures are now available to us. Knowledge itself is now global. This means that, for the first time, the sum total of human knowledge is available to us—the knowledge, experience, wisdom, and reflection of all major human civilizations—premodern, modern, and postmodern—are open to study by anyone.

What if we took literally everything that all the various cultures have to tell us about human potential—about spiritual growth, psychological growth, social growth—and put it all on the table?

What if we attempted to find the critically essential keys to human growth, based on the sum total of human knowledge now open to us?

What if we attempted, based on extensive cross-cultural study, to use all of the world’s great traditions to create a composite map, a comprehensive map, an all-inclusive or integral map that included the best elements from all of them?

This map uses all the known systems and models of human growth—from the ancient shamans and sages to today’s breakthroughs in cognitive science—and distills their major components into 5 simple factors, factors that are the essential elements or keys to unlocking and facilitating human evolution.

We took this Integral map created by Ken Wilber – known as the “Einstein of Conscousiness” – and applied it to the field of hypnotherapy itself.

Welcome to Meta Hypnotherapy.

During this 5-day hypnotherapy training and certification course, you’ll learn the five essential keys to unlocking and facilitating your own human evolution and those that you serve.

Not only that, but you’ll also learn how to apply Meta Hypnotherapy to every aspect of your life— from work to relationships, spiritual practice to health and well-being.

We are the only hypnotherapy training and certification course that teaches you the most comprehensive map of human consciousness available. Without an excellent map, it’s easy to get lost in the territory of the mind. We teach you both the map and how to navigate the territory of consciousness itself for optimal healing of self, society, and Spirit.

The Gifts of the East and the Gifts of the West

One of the great aims of Meta Hypnotherapy is to integrate the split between body, mind, and spirit.

The Great Wisdom traditions of the East focus specifically on the spiritual development of the self through awakening practices such as meditation, yoga, and chanting as a way to connect with the Universe. By accessing these ever-deepening states of consciousness, one is able to experience oneness and even unity consciousness.

While the gifts of the West offer us breakthroughs in science and technology and focus on the psychological development of the ego as a way to self-actualization.

So which one is the right path to follow?

Two Types of Personal Development: Waking Up and Growing Up

For so long, we either focused on our spiritual development (East) or we focused on our personal healing work (West). Never before has there been a time in history where we have the opportunity to focus on both our spiritual development and our ego development at the same time as we do now.

Waking Up is one form of growth and development that we use in our Meta Hypnotherapy process. Waking Up refers to our spiritual development and how our spiritual development unfolds in ever-greater and wider states of consciousness – from Gross, Subtle, Causal, to Non-Dual states of consciousness.

Growing Up is the second form of growth and development that we focus on in Meta Hypnotherapy. Growing up refers to our psychological development from egocentric to ethnocentric to world-centric stages of development.

So what happens when you focus on both your spiritual development and your psychological development at the same time?

You heal and grow faster in both your spiritual development and your psychological development than you would if you only focused on one – which makes this approach more effective and efficient at catapulting your clients into their next evolutionary phase of growth and development.

Meta Hypnotherapy integrates clinical hypnotherapy and spiritual regression for optimum healing, growth, and transformation and is powered by the most comprehensive map of consciousness available.

During this 5-day hypnotherapy training and certification course, you’ll learn the five essential keys to unlocking and facilitating your own human evolution and those that you serve.

Not only that, but you’ll also learn how to apply Meta Hypnotherapy to every aspect of your life— from work to relationships, spiritual practice to health and well-being.

We are the only hypnotherapy training and certification course that teaches you the most comprehensive map of human consciousness available. Without an excellent map, it’s easy to get lost in the territory of the mind. We teach you both the map and how to navigate the territory of consciousness itself.

Upgrade Your iOS with Meta Hypnotherapy™

Upgrade Your iOS with Meta Hypnotherapy™

Upgrade Your iOS with Meta Hypnotherapy™

Think of your mind as a computer. This computer is divided into two parts – the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The conscious mind is 10% of the mind and its main function is to analyze, compute, judge, process, etc…

The subconscious mind is 90% of the mind and is the database of all of our feelings, emotions, behaviors, habits, bodily functions, beliefs, programming, and patterns – both effective and problematic.

With hypnotherapy, we are able to access the subconscious mind directly to update your internal operating system (iOS). Not only that, but we can also remove the buggy programs that are no longer running properly (i.e. limiting thoughts and beliefs and negative behaviors, patterns, and emotions) and replace them with new, updated programs so that you are able to live the life you most want for yourself – free from your subconscious programming.

This is what’s called reprogramming the mind. Just like we reprogram our computers to run better, faster, and smarter, we can do the same thing with our minds. And just like we continually innovate and improve on the software programs our computers run, we can improve our behaviors, actions, and the ways we show up in the world for greater success – in love, career, finance, and health.

Hypnotherapy itself is a wonderful modality for upgrading your internal operating system. But what happens when we need to upgrade the modality of hypnotherapy itself?

Hypnotherapy goes back as far as we can remember and little has been done to evolve or innovate upon this technique. As humans, culture, and society we have evolved. It’s time that our healing modalities evolve with us.

What is Meta Hypnotherapy?

Meta Hypnotherapy is a hypnotherapy theory of theories that uses the Integral framework created by Ken Wilber – known as the “Einstein of Consciousness Studies”.

This framework offers a more inclusive, more comprehensive, more integral view of hypnotherapy itself. And if you’ve ever tried to understand the chaotic and confusing field of hypnotherapy to date, you’ll find that it is not only unregulated but also unorganized, fragmented, and very much at odds with itself.

So what happens when we put everything on the table and view the field of hypnotherapy itself from a higher and wider perspective? What is the pattern that connects this academic mess into a higher-order unification of all methods involved?

This is the primary aim of Meta Hypnotherapy. Meta Hypnotherapy is a hypnotherapy of hypnotherapies that distills them all down to their 5 basic components. What we find are 5 essential keys that are essential and accessible to every human being on the planet.

The 5 essential keys are also maps or perspectives or lenses through which to view the world. When we look at the world or our client this way, we get a more complete, more whole, more integrated perspective of the client we are working with. This is important because how we see our clients matters. How we interpret their experience matters. It’s an issue of ethics and morality. We must upgrade the models of therapy we are using with clients are else we may be offering a disservice – to see only our client’s partiality, rather than their wholeness. Seeing their fragmentation rather than their integration. Or seeing their illness rather than their wellness.

At Boulder Hypnotherapy Institute our 5-day hypnotherapy training and certification course not only teaches you how to do hypnotherapy with clients, but you will also learn how to update your own operating system, your own perspective, your own world view to be more inclusive of yourself, your clients, and the world around you.

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy: What’s the Difference?

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy: What’s the Difference?

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy: What’s the Difference

Do you know the difference between hypnosis and hypnotherapy?

Often hypnosis and hypnotherapy are used interchangeably, but there are very real differences between the two.

Hypnosis can be defined as a state of mind. It’s a state of consciousness that all human beings can access. A simple definition of hypnosis is a deep state of relaxation accompanied by focused attention and receptivity.

Hypnosis is the same state of consciousness that we access when are about to fall asleep and right as we are waking up. Hypnosis is the same state of consciousness that we access during meditation or conscious prayer.

Hypnosis has three main applications.

  1. Hypnosis for entertainment. Most people’s exposure to hypnosis has either been through TV, movies, or hypnosis shows for entertainment.
  2. Hypnosis is used by someone trained in hypnosis (hypnotist) to help people achieve goals like losing weight and stopping smoking.
  3. Hypnosis is used in a therapeutic context by a licensed mental health professional (hypnotherapist) to heal trauma, PTSD, addictions, sexual abuse, eating disorders, anxiety, fears and phobias, and so much more.

What is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is when we use this relaxed state of mind in the therapeutic context with a licensed mental health professional (a hypnotherapist) with the intention of healing.

Hypnotherapy is used to heal trauma, PTSD, eating disorders, sexual abuse, addictions, anxiety, depression, fears and phobias, certain medical issues, insomnia, and so many other mental health issues.

Hypnotherapy has shown to have a 93% success rate after just six sessions as compared to Behavioral Therapy which showed a 72% success rate after 22 sessions. And compared to psychoanalysis which showed a 38% success after 600 sessions.

Clearly, there is something powerful happening when we access the subconscious mind for deep healing, profound insight, and lasting change. But don’t take my word for it.

What Others Have Said About Hypnotherapy

“The hypnotherapy work I did with Kelly was incredibly clarifying, releasing, and refreshing. She was able to bring me into a state where I could see and clear emotional wounds, and gave me tools to be able to access my power and be able to keep me in a highly functioning, conscious, and happy state. I would recommend her work to anyone struggling with a specific situation or emotional wound that is blocking them from having a thriving, prosperous life. Since the work we did together I have been able to see new pathways to help me in all areas of my life.” H.C.

“My hypnotherapy work with Kelly was powerful. As a CEO, I came to her with an issue that was affecting how I was showing up in my business. Through our work together, I was able to dig deep and change an old pattern that was holding me back from being more successful in the work that I do. In just one day after our work together, I was able to make the change I needed in myself to show up as my full, empowered self. Thank you for your deep healing and powerful work!” C.K.

“Working with Kelly has given me the tools and insight to make real progress on a number of lifelong struggles. Kelly’s empathy, insight, skill, and focus are second to none. I was ready to give up hope before we started working together and now I greet my days with clear-eyed joy. If you are ready to move beyond looking at symptoms and tackle your struggles at their most basic level, I couldn’t recommend a finer guide.” J.R.

There’s nothing more validating than seeing real transformation, growth, healing, and insight from your clients after each hypnotherapy session.

If you’re ready to go deeper with your clients and see real transformation in your clients, hypnotherapy is the necessary skill you can add to your toolbox today.

Best Advice to Hypnotherapists from Hypnotherapists

Best Advice to Hypnotherapists from Hypnotherapists

As a newly trained hypnotherapist, it can feel uncomfortable or even scary to step into your new role as hypnotherapist.

Explaining how the process works, defining what hypnosis is and is not, and building rapport can be enough to deal with before the hypnotherapy session even begins.

Don’t worry, with enough practice and continued training you will become pro in no time!

I remember doing my first hypnotherapy session after my training. I was both nervous and excited. Was it going to work? Can I do this on my own? What happens if I don’t know what to do at some point during the session?

So much mind chatter can enter your thought stream as a newly trained hypnotherapist. So how do we stay grounded and confident as newly trained hypnotherapists?

Advice to Hypnotherapists from Hypnotherapists

Here’s the best advice to newly trained hypnotherapists.

1. Allow the client to lead and go where they need to go for healing and release. Don’t try to force it.

2. Relax and breathe.

3. Learn to identify and treat the subtleties of shock (including Self).

4. Follow the script, remember the client is going to get exactly what they need, treat your shock, and breathe.

5. The client doesn’t know if you’re doing it “perfect”. Just be you. They will know if you are real.

6. Keep doing your own work to stay grounded during sessions.

7. It’s okay if the session doesn’t go “as planned.” Take your time, breathe, and follow your own intuition and inner wisdom. All works out the way it should. The soul really does know where to go.

The Power of Future Life Progression

The Power of Future Life Progression

In regressive hypnotherapy, we regress the client back to the source of the issue to discover the subconscious thoughts, emotions, and behaviors that are negatively impacting their life today.

In past life regression therapy, we use spiritual regression techniques to access the akashic records to bring the client back to a past life that is the source of their current issue today.

Just as we are able to move backward in time to discover the root issue of the client’s complaint, we can also move forward in time to gain insight, wisdom, and a new perspective of the what the future may hold based on decisions and choices and actions we engage in the here and now. This is known as a future progression.

A future progression, also known as an age progression, is when we move the client forward in time in their current life. We can also move a client forward into a future life and this is known as a future life progression.

The Power of Future Progression

Future Life Progression Therapy is a journey forward in time to recover memories and explore events from the future and can be profoundly transformative work. Time to our Soul in Spirit does not exist, so we are easily able to move forward and back through time as we know it.

Future Life Progression Therapy gives you the tools to progress your clients into their Future Lives with advanced spiritual hypnotherapy skills that are an important addition to your existing hypnotherapy or coaching toolbox.

All of our experiences that may happen in the future are there for us to explore now.

Time does not exist beyond the physical realms that we know here on Earth. Therefore you are free to move your client forward & backward in time. You can explore their Future Lives as easily as you can their Past Lives. Moving them into future incarnations can be an amazing tool to explore your clients’ issues and how they are playing out if they do not take the action in this lifetime.

In this work, you will explore the repeating patterns, contracts, agreements, perceptions, and beliefs that may be forming sometimes on an unconscious level, as a result of experiences from this life, past lives, and even life between lives. Future Life Progression is an exciting aspect of work for you and your client to uncover.

The Benefits of Future Life Progression Therapy

There are many benefits to Future Life Progression Therapy. Here are 5 benefits of doing future life progression with your clients:

  1. Body – Many people like to know what they look like and what their bodies and disposition are in the future.
  2. Trials – Many people like to discover the challenges they will be faced with in the future.
  3. Belonging – Many people want to know who is in their close circle of friends, family, business, etc…in the future.
  4. Achievements – What will I be known for? What is the legacy that I am leaving behind for my family and all of humanity?
  5. Purpose – What am I here to do or learn?

Going forward in time can bring new perspectives and healing for people in a way that no other therapy can achieve. Progression can be a powerful healing tool.
