Did you know hypnosis is a natural state you go into daily at least twice during the day. Yup, twice!

Once when you fall asleep at night and once when you wake up in the morning. AND, you would be surprised other times you are actually in the hypnotic state too! Like reading, watching movies, driving and more!

What Is Hypnosis?

A Simple Guide to How Hypnosis Works and Why Everyone’s Talking About It

Hypnosis is a powerful tool that helps you make real changes by working with your subconscious mind. It’s a natural state of deep focus—kind of like getting lost in a daydream or a good book. In this relaxed state, your mind becomes more open to helpful suggestions that can change habits, ease stress, and improve how you feel.

How Hypnosis Works

Most of what we think, feel, and do is driven by the subconscious mind. Hypnosis helps you reach that deeper part of yourself, where habits and beliefs are stored. Once you're in a relaxed state, you can start to gently shift the patterns that may be holding you back.

Studies show that hypnosis can change how your brain processes emotions, habits, and pain. That’s why it works so well for things like anxiety, sleep problems, smoking, and emotional eating. It’s not magic—it’s your brain working in a more focused, helpful way.

Why Hypnosis Is So Popular Right Now

More people are turning to hypnosis because it goes deeper than meditation and works faster than willpower alone. It’s being used by athletes, professionals, and people from all walks of life who want to feel better, break old habits, and create real change.

In a world that’s always rushing, hypnosis offers a quiet space to slow down, reset, and reconnect with yourself—without needing to talk through everything or relive the past.

What does it feel like to be hypnotized?

Being hypnotized often feels like a deeply relaxed state, similar to the moments just before falling asleep. You may feel calm, focused, and detached from distractions around you. Some people experience a sense of heaviness or lightness in their limbs, while others may feel a tingling sensation. It's a highly individual experience.

  • At burble, we often discuss the theory of the mind to help our users understand how it functions and how you can work with it to promote positive change.

    The mind, in this context, is often conceptualized as having different layers or parts, each with its own functions and processes. One common model is the conscious mind, the subconscious mind, and the unconscious mind.

    1. Conscious Mind: This is the part of the mind that we are aware of in our everyday waking life. It's where our rational thinking, logical reasoning, decision-making, and short-term memory reside. When we are awake and alert, we are primarily operating from our conscious mind.

    2. Subconscious Mind: Beneath the surface of the conscious mind lies the subconscious mind. It holds our long-term memories, beliefs, emotions, habits, and automatic behaviors. Unlike the conscious mind, the subconscious operates without our direct awareness. It acts as a storehouse of information and influences our thoughts, feelings, and behaviors without us consciously realizing it.

    3. Unconscious Mind: Deeper still is the unconscious mind, which contains the deepest and most fundamental beliefs, instincts, and drives. It's the realm of the autonomic nervous system, governing functions like breathing, heartbeat, and other bodily processes. The unconscious mind also harbors repressed memories, traumas, and unresolved conflicts that can influence our behaviors and emotions.

    burble works by accessing and communicating with the subconscious levels of the mind. Through relaxation techniques and focused attention, we can bypass the critical factor of the conscious mind and access the deeper layers where real change can occur.

    When burbling, the conscious mind becomes more relaxed and less critical, allowing burble to communicate directly with the subconscious mind. This state of heightened suggestibility enables us to introduce positive suggestions, imagery, and therapeutic techniques to reprogram negative beliefs, release emotional blockages, and promote healing and growth.

    In essence, burble aims to harness the power of the mind to effect positive change by accessing the deeper layers where our beliefs, emotions, and behaviors are rooted. By working with the subconscious mind, we can uncover and resolve underlying issues, allowing individuals to overcome obstacles, break free from unwanted habits, and tap into their inner resources for personal transformation and well-being.

  • Determining whether you've been hypnotized can sometimes be subjective, as experiences vary from person to person. Here are some common signs that you may have been hypnotized:

    Deep Relaxation: You feel deeply relaxed, both mentally and physically, during the hypnotic session.

    Heightened Focus: Your attention is intensely focused on the hypnotist's voice or on the suggestions being given.

    Suggestibility: You are more open to suggestions and imagery presented by the hypnotist.

    Altered Perception of Time: You may lose track of time or feel as though time is passing differently during the session.

    Physical Sensations: You may experience physical sensations, such as heaviness or lightness in your limbs, tingling, or warmth.

    Enhanced Imagery: You may experience vivid mental imagery or sensations, as if you're immersed in a detailed mental scenario.

    Increased Emotional Responses: You may experience heightened emotions, such as feeling more relaxed, joyful, or calm, or even experiencing a release of emotions.

    Post-Hypnotic Suggestions: You may notice changes in behavior, thoughts, or feelings after the session based on the suggestions given during hypnosis.

    However, it's important to note that not everyone experiences all of these signs, and some people may experience them differently. Additionally, being hypnotized doesn't always feel dramatically different from being in a state of deep relaxation or focused attention, so it's not always immediately obvious.

    If you're unsure whether you were hypnotized, consider reflecting on your experience after the session. Did you feel deeply relaxed and focused? Did you notice any changes in your thoughts or behaviors afterward? If you're still uncertain, you can always discuss your experience with the hypnotist to gain further insight.

It’s not like you see in stage shows! No quacking like a duck. We promise.
