Let’s burble

The number of inductions needed to enter a hypnotic state can vary greatly from person to person. Some individuals may enter a hypnotic state after just one induction, while others may require multiple inductions or sessions to reach the same state.

You may find that on some days you need a more inductions toggled together, while others less. This is because there are several factors that can influence getting into the hypnotic state. These factors include you stress or relaxation level, environment you are in, and willingness or desire to be doing hypnosis.

IN GENERAL

The sweet spot of inductions is usually around 3 for the average person.

If you are finding that you are feeling sleepy and tired, we suggest using less inductions starting with 1-2.

If you are overly stressed and have an active mind that is thinking a lot, we recommend trying 2-4.

Each induction is on average 4-6 minutes in length.

The effectiveness of hypnosis recordings can vary from person to person. Some people may notice a difference after just one session, while others might require multiple listens to experience significant effects. It depends on various factors, such as your receptiveness to hypnosis, the type of suggestions given, whether you are tackling the presenting issue versus the underlying cause, and/or the depth of the issue you're trying to address.

For some, a single session can make a noticeable difference. It might bring relaxation, a shift in mindset, change in behavior, or a new perspective. However, for deeper issues or ingrained habits, repeated listening can be beneficial, especially since each burble can provide different suggestions. Consistency can reinforce the suggestions provided in the recording and help create lasting changes.

Some users find listen to a burble recording daily for a period, such as 21 days, beneficial. However, others may only need one. After the initial period of listening, users may reduce the frequency or use the sessions are a reinforcement weeks or months later.

Ultimately, trust your instincts and observe how you feel after each session. If you notice positive changes, great! If not, consider listening more frequently or trying a different recording that might resonate better with you.

There is no wrong way to start doing burble.

You may find that as you look through the treatments categories and individual treatment that there are ones that stand out to you. Trust your gut when it speaks to you and start there!

However, we also think it’s important to understand that it’s important to get to the underlying cause of your issue versus just tackling the presenting problem.

Let me explain: The presenting issue is the visible problem, like not being able to sleep, while the underlying cause is the deeper reason behind it- for example, anxiety related to your job and feeling competent at it.

Sure, we can treat sleep, but it’s always better to get to the root cause. To find what your underlying causes are, we suggest using The burble Dig Down to help you curate a plan of action.

The presenting issue and the underlying cause are two distinct aspects of a client's problem.

1. Presenting Issue: This refers to the problem or symptom that the user presents with, the reason they seek help or therapy. For example, it could be a fear of flying, smoking addiction, anxiety, or weight management. The presenting issue is what the client is aware of and what they express as their primary concern.

2. Underlying Cause: This is the deeper, often sub- or unconscious reason behind the presenting issue. It's the root cause or the driving force behind the symptoms. Underlying causes can be diverse and may stem from past experiences, unresolved emotions, or deep-seated beliefs. These causes might not be immediately apparent to the client or even to the therapist.

Determining if hypnosis recordings are working involves noticing changes in your thoughts, behaviors, and feelings. Here are some signs that indicate the recordings are having a positive effect:

Increased Relaxation: You may notice that you feel more relaxed and at ease during and after listening to the recordings.

Positive Changes in Behavior: Look for changes in habits or behaviors that you've been targeting with the recordings. For example, if you're using a hypnosis recording to quit smoking, you might notice a decrease in your cravings or a reduced desire to smoke.

Improved Mood: Pay attention to any shifts in your mood. You might find yourself feeling more positive, motivated, or confident.

Better Sleep: If you're using hypnosis for better sleep, you may notice improvements in your sleep patterns, such as falling asleep more easily, staying asleep longer, or waking up feeling more refreshed.

Increased Focus and Concentration: If you're using hypnosis to improve focus or concentration, you might find it easier to concentrate on tasks or stay focused for longer periods.

Changes in Thought Patterns: Hypnosis can help change negative thought patterns into more positive ones. Notice if you're thinking differently about certain situations or challenges.

Achieving Goals: If you've set specific goals, track your progress towards them. Hypnosis can help you stay motivated and focused on achieving your objectives.

Feedback from Others: Sometimes, the people around you may notice changes before you do. If others comment on positive changes they see in you, it's a good indicator that the hypnosis recordings are working.

Decreased Stress and Anxiety: If you're using hypnosis to reduce stress or anxiety, observe if you're feeling calmer and more relaxed in stressful situations.

Increased Self-awareness: Hypnosis can deepen your self-awareness and insight. Notice if you're becoming more aware of your thoughts, feelings, and behaviors.

Keep in mind that the effects of hypnosis can be subtle and may take time to notice. It's also important to have realistic expectations and understand that hypnosis is a process that works differently for everyone. If you're unsure about your progress, consider keeping a journal to track any changes or consult with a qualified hypnotherapist for guidance and support.

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.

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.

Sleep is great, but we totally get if you feel like you missed the burble. Here are a few tips to help you navigate avoiding drifting past the hypnotic states into the sleep state.

Here are some tips to help you stay awake and alert during hypnosis:

1) Choose the Right Time: Avoid scheduling your hypnosis sessions when you're extremely tired or at a time when you're likely to fall asleep easily, such as late at night.

2) Comfortable Environment: Make sure you're in a comfortable position but not so comfortable that you're likely to drift off. Sit in a chair rather than lying down if you're prone to falling asleep.

3) Good Posture: If you are sitting up, sit up straight with your feet flat on the ground. This helps you stay alert and prevents you from slipping into a more relaxed state.
