More and more people are becoming disenchanted with the pressures of modern day living and are looking for ways to have more control of their lives and their futures.

Many books on self-improvement are available and the Life Coach industry is expanding rapidly.

Virtually every book you read, or every bit of advice available, relates in some way to reprogramming the subconscious mind. This can be by visualization which is espoused in books like “The Secret“.

It is commonly accepted that the subconscious mind is the most powerful tool we as humans possess. On the one hand it is our automatic pilot which controls all the activities we need to stay alive; Our breathing, heart rate, blood pressure, intake of food and water, avoidance of danger, etc. etc. etc.

While many of the goals or desires from both practices overlap, there are distinct differences between hypnosis and meditation which should be clarified.

Hypnosis is appropriate if you have a specific goal you wish to achieve. Be it to regress to a point in our life that has caused trauma, or for a specific desire, such as to stop smoking.

Traditional Meditation is less structured, in that clearing the conscious mind allows thoughts or feelings to surface, while trying not to attach to the emotion of them.
