Exploring Transpersonal Hypnotherapy


As a certified transpersonal hypnotherapist, I find that most people only hear “hypnotherapist” and either assume I’m a magician or a therapist.

Quite the contrary, a transpersonal hypnotherapist is a holistic therapy that integrates mind, body, and spirit to transport clients into the deepest levels of the human spirit. The focus is on the individual and the divine that lives within each of us. We just need a little reminder from time to time on how to tap into that power.

If you’re looking for change, then transpersonal hypnotherapy is a deeply relaxing, non-invasive approach to discovering a new you.

There are extraordinary myths and misunderstandings when it comes to hypnotherapy. So what is it, exactly?

You know when you zone out while you’re driving and suddenly you can’t remember the last few miles of the highway? Or if you’re sitting in front of the TV and you get completely absorbed and suddenly, 10 minutes have passed in the blink of an eye? That’s basically hypnosis. It’s when your conscious mind begins to quiet and your subconscious mind begins to listen.

If you’ve ever meditated or done guided imagery, this is another example of light hypnosis. With transpersonal hypnotherapy, you are in complete control at all times, and you end up in a deeply relaxed state where your subconscious is given an opportunity to communicate through images or sensations, and you can begin to reprogram old behaviors or thought patterns that no longer serve you.

Regardless of what work is being done, or to what outcome, clients always report feeling relaxed, rejuvenated, and empowered at the end of a session.

What’s in it for you, though? What would you employ a transpersonal hypnotherapist for?

If you have thoughts, habits, or behaviors that you’d like to change, then you can tap into the power of transpersonal hypnotherapy to re-program your subconscious. This technique allows access to your higher self and the innate wisdom we all have available to us.

A short list of common programs include:
- Smoking cessation
- Stress/anxiety reduction
- Breaking habitual behavior like nail biting
- Experiencing deep relaxation
- Past-life regression
- Overcoming fears and phobias
- Learning a new behavior or skill
- Dealing with grief, loss, or enhancing relationships with loved ones
- Uncovering a personal truth or to find the answer to a question
- Healing and pain management
- Spiritual development

The sky really is the limit, but the beauty of a transpersonal hypnotherapy session is that you work with your therapist to customize a program that is completely tailored to your needs, likes, dislikes, goals, and personality. You can go as quickly or as slowly as you feel comfortable with and it’s 100% safe.

We’ve had tremendous success with clients and smoking cessation. In each past-life regression, I’ve sat with clients who relive amazing traumas and come out feeling relieved and healed and I’ve witnessed profound change in the period of an hour or two.

For folks with chronic stress or anxiety, transpersonal hypnotherapy can be incredibly empowering and liberating. Pain management begins to seem attainable. Questions that have long gone unanswered suddenly seem to have crystal clear answers or the questions lose their power and focus can be shifted to something useful.

If nothing else, experiencing a past-life regression or simply floating in the deepest levels of your mind can be liberating and insanely interesting.

Hopefully, this answers a few of your questions, but if you have more please let us know and we’d love to share the dialogue with others. And leave a message or email us at caya.comeasyouare(at)gmail.com if you'd like more information about a private session.

Watch for a free guided meditation that we’ll be posting in the next few days. It’s a perfect little session that you can use for times when you are stressed and running out of patience and you just need someone to hit the Reset button. Stay tuned!
