Hypnotherapy
Access your subconscious to create lasting, positive change
Why use Hypnotherapy
Have you ever wondered why certain thoughts, emotions or patterns keep repeating in your life even when you know you want to change them?
That’s because true change doesn’t just happen in the conscious mind — it begins in the subconscious, the part of your mind that quietly shapes about 95% of your daily life. It holds your memories, beliefs and emotional imprints from every experience you’ve ever had.
When old emotions or past experiences stay unresolved, they can subtly influence how you feel, think and respond — creating stress, self-doubt or even physical symptoms.
Hypnotherapy helps you access this deeper layer of your mind in a calm, natural and safe state of awareness. It’s not about losing control — it’s about gaining deeper connection with yourself. In this state, your subconscious becomes open to gentle healing, allowing you to release what no longer serves you and reprogram new empowering patterns.
Many describe it as “a deep reset from within” — a way to rediscover calm, confidence and clarity that feels completely natural.
Beyond Healing: Unlocking Human Potential Through Hypnotherapy
What if growth wasn’t about fixing what’s broken — but awakening what’s already within you?
Your mind runs on patterns and nearly 95% of them operate below awareness.
That’s where your focus, confidence, creativity and drive truly live.
Hypnotherapy helps you access this deeper layer — not to control your mind, but to collaborate with it.
In a hypnotic state, your brain moves into calm alpha and theta waves — the same rhythm linked to learning, intuition and flow.
Research from Harvard and Stanford shows hypnosis strengthens neural pathways that govern motivation, focus and emotional balance.
Strengthen your Focus,Confidence, Creativity and Drive
At Purna Saukhyaa, we use this science to help you go beyond healing — to perform, lead and create from your highest potential experience. This isn’t therapy. It’s neural recalibration — where the nervous system, mind and purpose align into effortless flow.
The Science Behind Hypnotherapy
Hypnotherapy isn’t magic — it’s neuroscience in action.
When you enter a hypnotic state, your brain shifts from busy beta waves into calm alpha and theta waves — the same relaxed rhythm you naturally experience before sleep. In this state, the conscious mind quiets, allowing access to the subconscious, which stores habits, emotions and deep-seated memories.
Brain imaging studies at Stanford University and Harvard Medical School show that hypnosis alters communication between regions controlling focus, emotion and self-awareness, allowing new neural pathways to form.
Over 60 clinical studies, reviewed by Frontiers in Psychology (2024), found that hypnotherapy produces medium-to-large improvements in anxiety, pain and overall well-being.
This explains why hypnotherapy works beyond relaxation—helping the brain create new, healthier responses.
Clinical research supports its use for conditions such as pain, trauma and irritable bowel syndrome (IBS).
At Purna Saukhyaa, every session blends this science with practical therapeutic guidance, creating results that are not only calming but deeply transformative.
Science is simply catching up with what your mind already knows how to do.
What’s the difference between Hypnotherapy and Stage Hypnosis?
When people think of hypnosis, their minds often jump to what they’ve seen on television or at a theatre show. People clucking like chickens, forgetting their names, or collapsing into fits of laughter on command. It’s entertaining, but it also creates a lot of confusion. Many assume this is what hypnosis is, when in fact, it’s a world apart from what happens in a real hypnotherapy session.
So what’s the difference between stage hypnosis and hypnotherapy? And why does it matter? If you’re considering training or seeking help from a hypnotherapist, it’s important to understand how these two practices differ in purpose, process, and outcome.
The Intention: Entertainment vs. Therapeutic Change
The most obvious difference lies in intention. Stage hypnosis is designed for entertainment. It’s a performance, often used to amuse an audience through surprising or humorous suggestions. Hypnotherapy, on the other hand, is a form of therapeutic support. It helps people make meaningful changes in their lives, such as overcoming anxiety, breaking habits, managing pain, or building confidence.
A hypnotherapist works one-to-one with clients in a safe, private setting. The intention is to help, not entertain. The goal is always to support the client’s wellbeing, with their consent and involvement every step of the way.
The Environment: Performance vs. Professional Practice
Stage hypnosis usually takes place in public. It might be on a stage, at a party, or during a televised event. There’s a strong element of performance, often with bright lights, music, and audience interaction. Volunteers are often chosen because they’re highly responsive or open to suggestion.
Hypnotherapy is the opposite. Sessions take place in calm, private environments where clients can relax and focus inwardly. There’s no audience, no showmanship, and no pressure to perform. It’s a quiet, supportive space where techniques can be tailored to each individual’s needs.
The Process: Rapid Induction vs. Gentle Guidance
Stage hypnotists often use rapid induction methods to create quick and dramatic effects. These techniques are real, but they’re designed for visual impact and often create the illusion of mind control.
Hypnotherapists use a slower, client-focused approach. Inductions are usually calm and soothing, helping the person enter a relaxed state where the subconscious is more open to suggestion. The process is gentle and collaborative, with the client remaining aware and in control throughout.
The Outcomes: Temporary Suggestion vs. Lasting Change
Stage hypnosis involves short-term suggestions that wear off quickly. They’re usually playful or exaggerated, chosen for entertainment rather than purpose.
Hypnotherapy focuses on lasting change. Suggestions are designed to support real goals, such as stopping smoking, managing stress, or building confidence. The effects are intended to be meaningful and long term, with each session contributing to the client’s progress.
The Role of Consent and Ethics
Consent and ethics are at the heart of hypnotherapy. Clients are always informed, always in control, and can stop at any time. A qualified hypnotherapist will never use suggestion to embarrass, manipulate, or push someone beyond their comfort.
While many stage hypnotists are trained professionals, the setting doesn’t always allow for the same level of care. Participants may feel under pressure or unsure of what’s happening, especially in front of an audience. That’s why it’s important to draw a clear distinction between the two.
Why the Confusion Matters
Misconceptions about hypnosis can prevent people from seeking help or training. Some worry they’ll lose control. Others fear being made to do something embarrassing. In reality, hypnotherapy is a respectful and professional process that works with the mind in a positive and supportive way.
By understanding the difference, more people can feel confident in exploring what hypnotherapy has to offer, whether as a client or a future practitioner.

What are the Common Myths and Misconceptions about Hypnotherapy?
Common myths and misconceptions about hypnotherapy include misunderstandings about control, memory loss, and effectiveness as a treatment method.
Myth 1: The Hypnotherapist Will Control My Mind
Fact: A hypnotherapist does not control your mind. Hypnosis is not mind control. The client remains aware and in control throughout the session. The hypnotherapist makes suggestions that the client chooses to accept or reject.
Myth 2: Hypnosis is Just for Entertainment
Fact: While stage hypnosis is for entertainment, clinical hypnotherapy is a serious practice used to treat various mental and physical health issues. It is performed by trained professionals who adhere to strict ethical standards.
Myth 3: You Can Get Stuck in Hypnosis
Fact: It is impossible to get stuck in hypnosis. Hypnosis is a natural state that we drift in and out of daily, similar to daydreaming or getting lost in a good book. If a session is interrupted, you will naturally come out of the hypnotic state alone.
Myth 4: You Will Be Unconscious During Hypnosis
Fact: During hypnosis, you are not unconscious but in a state of focused attention. You are aware of what is happening and remember the session afterward. Some people might experience a dreamy state but remain aware and in control.
Myth 5: Hypnotherapy Works Like Magic
Fact: Hypnotherapy is not magic. It is a collaborative process that requires the client’s willingness and effort. While changes happen quickly, especially when the unconscious mind is receptive, it still involves active participation and a desire to change.
Myth 6: Only the Weak-Willed Can Be Hypnotized
Fact: Hypnotizability is about something other than being weak-willed. Highly creative and strong-willed individuals are more receptive to hypnosis. The key is willingness and openness to the process.
Myth 7: Hypnotherapy is not safe
Fact: Hypnotherapy is generally considered safe by a trained and certified professional. It is non-invasive and carries minimal risks. The therapist ensures you remain in control throughout the session, enhancing safety and effectiveness.
Myth 8: You won't remember what happens during Hypnotherapy
Fact: No, Most people retain the memory of the hypnotherapy session. Despite inducing deep relaxation, hypnosis does not compromise awareness or memory. Clients typically recall the therapeutic suggestions and experiences discussed during the session
Frequently asked questions (FAQs)
1. What is hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a natural, focused state of awareness where your body relaxes and your mind becomes more receptive to positive change.
We actually enter this state twice a day naturally — just before falling asleep and as we wake up. In these moments, the brain is in alpha and theta waves, and the subconscious is more open. Hypnotherapy simply helps you enter this same state intentionally, to release old patterns and create new ones.
2. What is hypnotherapy?
Hypnotherapy is the therapeutic use of hypnosis to help you work directly with the subconscious mind — the part that stores memories, beliefs and emotional imprints. It allows deep transformation that feels gentle and natural.
3. Is hypnosis mind control?
Not at all. You remain completely aware and in control. You can speak, move, or stop the session anytime.
