In this class, instructor Michael Benner explains hypnosis & meditation as two sides of the same coin -- meditation as a receptive state, hypnosis as more causative. Both promote an integration of the conscious & subconscious minds through relaxation, which reverses and neutralizes the fight-or-flight response, thus reducing brainwave frequencies to bring higher brain functions back into play, ie. creativity, conceptual understanding, memory, emotional sensitivity, healing & immune system.
