Hypnosis: A Path to Epiphanies and Bliss States - with Mr. Jim Hinds.

Back by popular acclaim for the third of three episodes on hypnosis, Jim will lead a discussion on states of enlightenment that humans can attain through hypnosis. Hypnosis seems to be able to help a person access metacognitive states more easily in a shorter period of time. Come join us in exploring what may be happening during metacognitive transformation in the mind and brain. Moderator's note: As a byline, we have also been exploring how teachers use hypnosis in directed teaching and students in self-directed learning!

Transformative Emotional Learning via Hypnosis

With Mr. Jim Hinds. Back by popular acclaim, Jim will lead us in a discussion on how emotional states arising from stressful life events can be transformed quickly and without further trauma using hypnosis. Transformation from negative states (guilt, loss, anger) into positive states (universality, compassion, optimism) is held by some to be permanent, and generalizable by the client to other areas of life. Come join us in exploring what may be happening during such transformations in the mind and brain.
