Hypnosis, Hypnothesia and Meditation

By Tara Sutphen CHt

What can Hypnosis, Hypnothesia, and Meditation do for you?

Hypnosis is an altered state of awareness. You are put at ease while receiving beneficial suggestions in a relaxed condition.  You will always act on your morality and principles, You never have to worry about having your mind taken over as you have core beliefs and stay within those parameters. You may not feel knocked out or overly suggestible, but you can relax deeply and renew your body, mind, and spirit through this practice.

Change can be hard, but hypnosis lends itself to leading our minds in productive and affirmative directions. Instead of our mind fighting the body. Hypnosis is always a good antidote and it is enjoyable and very refreshing.


What are the different levels of brainwaves? 

  1. Gamma: concentration
  2. Beta: Active, Alert
  • Low Beta 12-15Hz

   Quiet Focus

  • Mid-Range Beta 15-20Hz

   Energy Performance

  • High Beta 18-40HZ

   Stress, Anxiety, Arousal

  1. Alpha: Relaxed, Passive
  2. Theta: Deeply Relaxed, Inward Focus
  3. Delta: Sleep

Hypnosis isn’t so much a trance as it is a state of ultra-calm, you feel a bit dazed by the outside world as your focus ability and concentration come into effect. You sometimes feel like you’ve found something you have lost. If nothing else the deep sense of relaxation and concentration ability. In a session, you hear only the hypnotist’s voice and you are compelled to follow along. You come into a vivid mind and your inner clarity can release or analyze issues, feelings, and/or events. 

The Levels of Hypnosis

  1. Novice – Light hypnosis. You may need to acquire the know-how. You may not feel like your hypnotized but if you see your hypnotherapist regularly or record and listen to your hypnosis sessions, you will notice outward changes. These can be good changes, such as breaking bad habits (smoking or losing weight) When you learn to trust your mind more, you can work on harder tasks. (Success, Accelerated Learning, etc)
  2. Advanced Beginner – Connected to the “know-how” you begin to develop a cohesion of the senses and consciousness in hypnosis, gaining confidence and making effort. REM (rapid eye movement) 
  3. Competent – A feeling of super relaxation. Feeling too relaxed to walk around. You are in your inner mind and developing a bond with your wellness and totality. True Healing begins here on many emotional and physical levels.
  4. Proficient – You could be a somnambulist or learn very fast a skill or talent. You can overcome pain easily. You can heal your body and mind at a very fast pace. Discipline is key. 
  5. Expert – In tune with All the senses. You can work at a Theta Level on your health and well-being. This is exceptional attunement to your essential nature.

Here are some stages to a Hypnotherapy session.

  • Convey Problems, Phobias, and Issues –
  • Convey Hopes, Wishes, and, Wanted Changes +
  • Relaxation position
  • Induction
  • Deeper into a state of relaxation
  • Therapeutic process
  • Positive Reinforcement
  • Beneficial Suggestions
  • Anchoring
  • Awakening
  • Homework/Practice

Hypnothesia:

Hypnothesia is an easy way to get to your desired goal. There is no homework involved. The suggestions are given while you are in a mild state of anesthesia by a medical doctor, a trained MD Anesthesiologist. Tara, then instructs you to receive your consideration list that she has carefully prepared with you. They are a list of your very own suggestions. This is what I call the fast fix. It could be to help overcome your trauma, drama and failed efforts. 

Sometimes it gets hard to achieve desired personal and outwardly successful results because your inner compass stalls or takes your will power into a negative direction. Food addictions, lack of motivation, low self-esteem, boredom, unhappiness and depression all lead to a sluggish lifestyle. Sometimes it’s the opposite of slow, and many find themselves chasing their dreams in the wrong directions and being hyperactive and over-reactive. 

Hypnothesia is a new brain-mind technique where we override your conscious mind to get to your deeper self, addressing directly your blocks or issues, suggestions can be made into your subconscious mind; allowing a more positive and productive approach to your desires and goals. Example: If you want to quit smoking, I’ve found the client dreams of smoking but they put out the cigarette in their dreams, never desiring another cigarette after their session. 

If you want to eat, sleep, or overcome a problem properly. You can get on track with your health, and strength in mind and body easily in this way. Maybe you’ll find that Hypnothesia will be the answer for you.  

Meditation:

When in meditation you can find yourself daydreaming. Try to guide your thoughts into positive scenes and outcomes. And the best is to come back to your silence and inner peacefulness. If you are full of anxiety or frustration, you are to set those feelings aside and come back to your center. The real you. The human that God Loves no matter what…Hypnosis and Meditation are safe and enjoyable experiences.

If you don’t want a personal appointment, there are Mp3s available.

Beltaine

Beltaine

by Tara Sutphen

Beltaine is the “Celebration of the Light”,the light time of the year. The dark time being remembered by Samhain. May 1 is the day in the middle of the spring and the summer equinox’ (10* Taurus). May Day is the time for love and the happiness of summer on it’s way.

Beltane | Beltaine is a celebration of the union of souls, The union of minds, and the union of bodies. The earth mother calls her progeny to replenish the earth. Flowers decorate hair and everywhere. Maypole ribbon dances, with two circles interweaving around a decorated tree or pole, clockwise dance circles. Bonfires or candles to spark the sacred fire of union and fertility.

Druids and Pagans raised the Beltaine fires on hilltops on May Eve, the fires were lit in order to bring the sun’s light down to earth. Earth awakening from it’s long winter nap and the flowers are in bloom and frolicking abounds. Joy alights your body, mind, and spirit, the colors become brighter, you see the best in everyone, casting away all worries and doubts you collected over the winter time.All nightmares become daydreams of love, hope and harmony.

Beltaine or Beltane is an anglicization of the Irish “Bealtaine” or the Scottish “Bealtuinn.” — “bel,”brilliant”, “tene” “fire”

Things to do on Beltaine alone or with a group

Create a Beltaine circle or group

Buy or Pick flowers

potluck

maywine (alcoholic or non alcoholic)

Candles, Fireplace, Bonfire — Lighting a fire with a blessing

May pole (you can use a tree if you don’t have a pole) garnish w. greenery and flowers – tie long ribbon

If you create a May pole, make lots of wishes while you walk clockwise into your future, and at the end of wrapping the ribbon say a blessing for yourself and end with “to love and be loved, So it is”. If the tree/pole ribbons pretty and sturdy enough you could leave until Samhain.

Some of the questions that you can ask your friends or family are:

What were the highlights in your winter? Everyone must come up with at least one if not several highlights. What are the dreams to enliven your spring and summer? Every one should convey their intentions for the summer.

The Full Pink Moon at 4* Scorpio will culminate on April 23, 2024, 4:51 pm PDT/7:51 pm EDT (almanac). 

This moon is about gaining back some of your personal power. Whether it be in the home or the workplace. You’ve been feeling like you need to manage your endeavors. Time is slipping by and while you’ve been keeping the peace in some way, you’re wanting to break free of either monotony or being too passive and/or anxious. What is it you really want? It could be an easy fix if you’re only willing to change or communicate constructively. And you could work slowly on creating changes, to lead you toward more self-worth and confidence. 

There are easy ways to restyle and instigate a change. 

Reflect on the way you gain confidence. 

  1. Are you speaking to others positively and clearly? 
  2. Are you being heard? 

3. Are you seeking compassionate compatibility? 

4. Are you complaining without solutions? 

Meditation:

To be successful in all areas of your life// focus on the value of learning// the value of time// the value of yourself// the value of your mind// the value of how you care for your friends and family// the value of your goals// the value of your environment// the value on your heart// the value on your soul// the value on your being// Raise your vibration// raise your confidence by being in the resonance of your true nature// learn the compassionate value and yet being seen and heard in a wonderful way// you can access goals/// yes you can…

Full Worm Moon

Full Worm Moon 

By Tara Sutphen

The Full Worm Super Moon (Native American) will culminate on March 25, 2024, 12:01AM PT / 3:01 PM ET (Farmers Almanac). We have an Annular Lunar Eclipse. When we have an eclipse, it’s time to change or let go of something holding us back. Take time to meditate on what you’d like unblocked or cleaned up in your life as it brings something exciting or illuminating to each of us.

The Worm Moon wants us to concentrate on becoming aware of our beauty and self-worth. We can start with our health care regime. Letting go of negative self-talk. How are you supposed to get back on track with “you putting yourself down”? 

Giving Yourself Positive and ProActive Affirmations: 

I am Confident

I am Lovable

I am Fair

I am Honest

I am Helpful

I am Skillful

I am Giving

I am Patient

I am Capable

We’re always continuing toward our healthful well-being. It’s important to remind ourselves daily to become our very best selves. We’re always working toward a result. 

The aspects of every full moon gently guide us toward cleaning up all sorts of human situations. We’re looking into the meaning of life and a deeper resonance of thought. You are tuning in instead of tuning out.  You are finally ready, you want to handle living on Earth instead of Earth handling you.

Journal Questions:

Write a paragraph on how you can improve your personal habits…

How do you proceed with your ability to create, are you waiting around for it or making it happen?

  • Love
  • Career
  • Job
  • Health
  • Relationships
  • Friendships
  • Happiness
  • Exercise

 How do you proceed with your short-term goals 

  • Spiritually
  • Emotionally
  • Intellectually
  • Materially
  • Physically

Change. What is affecting you and how do you fix it

 ——How do you get your balance back? It’s all about faking it until you make it. You don’t need to be shy or untrusting of how you make choices and decisions. Get a handle on all the fear and what-ifs. Life is action. You do know the difference between right and wrong. You do know the difference between what creates or breaks your health. You do know the difference between action and inaction. You do know the difference between many small and large possibilities. Start developing your life instead of doing things to break it.

—-“But, if we consider, as physicists now claim, that everything is energy—everything we see, everything we think, everything we do—then it is just possible that this same law of conservation of energy applies to questions of morality. A conservation of moral energy, a maintenance of equilibrium… a balance exists and must be preserved. If an action is taken that disrupts that balance, then an action similar in kind and degree is required to restore equilibrium.”

Happy Imbolc

by Tara Sutphen, posted in spiritual

Imbolc “IM-bulk” is a pagan holiday with many names. One of the Sabbats, it is an ancient festival generally celebrated on January 31, February 1, or February 2. It is also known as Candlemas, Brighid (“breed/bride”), and Oimelc (“EE-mulk”) which means ewe’s milk. It is the time of year halfway between December 21, the winter Solstice (Yule) and March 21, the spring Equinox (Ostara). Imbolc is in the middle of winter, but is the optimism of spring.The Egyptians and the Romans also celebrated this time, as it was the earth goddess giving birth to the Sun God. The time to ready seeds for the planting of food. A time of planning weddings, love, and romance. Days are getting longer and hope is renewed. The celebration is to light candles. Night of white candles turns the darkness into light.

Attuning into the Present

Attuning to the Present

by Tara Sutphen

Attuning oneself to be present, while in the knowledge of the past and future is mindfulness. You can sit with yourself for a moment, meditate if it feels right and bring yourself to check in. Monitor how you feel, what you want, why you want it, is the day a good day and how to change it, if it isn’t. You are to be in the what’s happening of the “Now”.

Your assignment is to create a resolve by keeping your mind moving forward in a reassuring direction. Quieting your inner chatter. Calmly listening to your emotional harmony on a deeper level. Tuning into your heart beating. Integrating with the natural sounds around you. Attune… to you and your inner light.

Breathe deeply and practice being open and free from obstructions. The only thing that matters right now is your breathe and heart rate. You will be receptive upcoming of handling each new experience in an effective and conflict-free way.

MINDFULNESS:

  1. Sit or stand comfortably with your eyes shut or gazing for a few moments or minutes, breathing deeply, being relaxed and at ease.
  2. Listen easily and gently to where you are, and your environment around you. Remember to let the noise calm you, as you reframe it and allowing your viewpoint to change.
  3. If you start to challenge and chatter at yourself, bring your attention back to something lovely or positive. (no judgement, gossip, disharmony or bills, as they don’t matter in this moment).
  4. You are to give yourself a sweet talk and say, “I’ve got this”, “keep smiling”, “dare to be different”,“there are solutions near” “be the bigger person”, “You are strong”, “life is beautiful”, “life is an adventure”, etcetera.
  5. Practice being mindful in different locations. Needing to regroup is normal and should be done a few times a day.
  6. You’ll notice you have much more composure if you practice mindfulness.
