Silence through meditation

Thomas Zetzmann

Hypnosis:

Hypnosis is a modified state of consciousness. A hypnosis session is conducted by a therapist who brings the patient to this state through hypnotic inductions. The objective is to go back to the origin of the disorder in order to externalise it with the aim of changing it.

Meditation:

Psychology assumes that there are two worlds. On the one hand, there is the concrete world, let's call it the immediate world. On the other hand, there is the mental world, I'll just call it mental. Dreams, fears, imprints, influences. To create the connection between these two worlds, that is probably the basic idea.

And strictly speaking, hypnos doesn't just mean "sleep", it also means rest. Hypnos is the god of rest and sleep and he is the father of Morpheus, the god of dreams. Both gods are very benevolent to man and the connecting element between hypnosis and sleep is that the mind is lost in what it is normally occupied with.

The big difference between the two is that sleep is the pause necessary to connect the neural abilities acquired during the day. However, if these neuronal highways have been wrongly developed through traumatic events, through bullying etc., hypnosis can bring this back into the right balance with the help of the subconscious.
