Hypnotherapy

Like meditation, hypnosis promotes states of relaxed focus and awareness; in addition, it encourages greater mental suggestibility in order to reprogram specific patterns of thought and habit. While meditation provides for a general, global elevation of your ability to concentrate, hypnosis facilitates targeted psychological and behavioral shifts.

Thought patterns are habituated and stabilized in much the same way as the movement and postural patterns we cultivate, both consciously and unconsciously. Just as our movement patterns can be changed and fine-tuned, we can learn to consciously redirect our thoughts to habituate more positive and productive patterns.

For example, a history of unresolved intonation or flexibility issues may make you fear you’ll never improve in these areas and cause deep discouragement. This may incline you to focus on past failures, reinforce a belief that these issues are permanent, and make it difficult to take steps to resolve them. Hypnosis offers techniques for replacing such habituated negative thought patterns with more positive, solution-oriented mental feedback loops. If you find yourself thinking, “I’ll never be able to sing in tune” or “I hate how I sound right now,” you can learn to redirect yourself with questions like “What would I like the sound to be? How do I want to feel when I sing this passage? What must I do to facilitate that and enjoy the process?”

Learning and skill retention are most swiftly, effectively, and pleasurably accomplished in a positive environment. When offered encouragement and rewarded with kindness, we feel motivated to absorb new information and optimistic about progress; when offered admonishment and punished with criticism, we will likely react with confusion and pain. Hypnosis can teach us to entice ourselves with carrots rather than threaten ourselves with sticks.
