Brain training is an umbrella term to describe a wide variety of self-directed mental practices that create changes in the brain. Throughout this Masterclass, you'll be doing practices including but not limited to:

• Hypnosis/ Visualization/ Mental Rehearsal
• Meditation
• Redirection and cognitive shifting
• Installation and savoring
• Laughter Yoga
• Gratitude
• Reframing limiting beliefs
• Journaling
• And more!

You'll be guided through the process every step of the way, with live calls, guided audio practices, short videos, and journaling pages.

While you may be familiar with some of the practices, when used in deliberate combination with one another, you can create very powerful, lasting changes in your self-regulation abilities, your access to positive emotions, and your overall sense of self-empowerment.

Hypnosis is a tool to bring you into a state of being called a "trance" to help you facilitate powerful change in your life. Trances are natural states of consciousness that we enter all the time! Have you ever driven home and as you turned the car off, realized that you had no memory of the drive itself? That’s a hypnotic trance!

Have you ever been watching a movie or TV show and the rest of the world seemed to disappear? You've been so engrossed in the emotions of the story that you lost track of time? That’s also a trance!

We are constantly moving in and out of that state of flow and focus, feeling “in the groove” in every day life. This is a state of being involving focused attention and deep relaxation. 

The practice of hypnosis uses this state of being to open up the subconscious mind to suggestion and transformation. 

In this Masterclass, you'll be guided through many hypnosis experiences to help you break down limiting beliefs, work toward your goals, and cultivate a sense of inner empowerment.

Hypnosis uses a combination of relaxation, focus, and flow to open up the creative subconscious mind. Our automatic functions, like habits, core beliefs, and stress-based associations, exist within the subconscious mind.

And guess what? The subconscious mind takes up 95% of our brain function. So in order to truly want to make lasting change in the majority of your life, you have to work with the subconscious.

Hypnosis allows people to access and make changes in the subconscious mind more easily, which means you can harness your abilities to reduce stress, build confidence, and enhance creativity and flow, align your brain with your goals, improve your overall wellbeing, and so much more.

In a hypnosis experience, you'll be invited to relax your mind and body and focus your attention, and then you'll be offered suggestions to explore images, ideas, imagined experiences to help you reach your goals.

Absolutely not! Although mainstream media tends to depict hypnosis as a manipulative, controlling technique, it is actually a very collaborative process. You may feel a deep state of relaxation and focus, and from this place I will offer suggestions and guide you through imagery to support your goals. However, they are merely suggestions – NOT commands, or "mind control." You have the ability to accept or reject any suggestion I offer. For example, if I were to say to you "Take a deep breath right now," you could choose not to. The same is true in hypnosis.

Despite what movies show us, it is not possible to get “stuck” in a trance. Like many people in the hypnosis field, I firmly believe that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, meaning that although I offer suggestions to you, you are the one making the changes to your own mind. You are in the driver's seat the entire time.

While hypnosis and meditation often feel similar, there are a lot of things that set them apart.

 Meditation aims to elevate the conscious mind, increasing the conscious focused awareness on the present moment by accessing a sense of radical acceptance. For example, you may become increasingly more mindful of what it feels like to sit in your chair and breathe. Meditation in itself does not have an end goal, and it is the practice itself that is important.

Hypnosis, on the other hand, aims to deepen the subconscious to create powerful changes in the brain. Rather than "accepting" what is, hypnosis often is used to change it. Using relaxation and focus-based techniques, an individual undergoing hypnosis might become less focused on their surroundings and less concerned with the present moment, so they can invite new ideas, transformation, and change. As a hypnosis practitioner, it is my job to offer suggestions that help facilitate the changes you want to make in your life. However, you are the one deciding what suggestions to accept. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, and you remain in control the entire time.

That being said, a lot of folks find the experience of hypnosis to be quite similar to meditation. Both are deeply relaxing, empowering, and leave folks feeling calmer and more confident. Everyone responds differently to hypnosis, so give it a try and see how it feels for you!

The beauty of this program is that it is tailored to your schedule and your needs!

Group Calls

The live weekly group sessions will be approximately 60-75 minutes, with extra time for Q&A at the end. If you can't make it to one (or even all) of the live sessions, replays are available. Feel free to go through this program at your own pace*.

*HOWEVER! If you come to all 6 live calls, your name will be entered into a drawing for a chance to win a FREE 1:1 hypnosis session with Emilie (normally $325).

Daily Practices

I know that your schedule is busy, and that's why I created flexible lengths for your daily hypnosis practices. Each recorded hypnosis audio practice that you'll receive will come with 3 different length options: 3-5 minutes, 8-10 minutes, and 15-20 minutes, so you don't have to settle for an "all or nothing" approach to your mental health. 

Your daily practices can take as little as 10 total minutes per day, or up to 60!

Video Lessons

The video lessons are a supplement to your learning, offering background information about the tools, the science of your practices, and additional information that can support this process. The videos each week will total approximately 10-20 minutes, and they are totally optional.

It is my belief that you should be the one who decides how much time you spend in this program. Of course, the more you put into it, the more you get out of it, but ultimately, this is designed with flexibility to help you even on your busiest days.
