What Is Hypnosis?
A Simple Guide to How It Works and Its Benefits

 

Hypnosis is a natural state of focused attention and heightened suggestibility that allows you to access the subconscious mind for positive change. Often misunderstood as mind control or stage entertainment, hypnosis is actually a powerful tool for personal development, used in hypnotherapy to address issues like insomnia, smoking cessation, weight loss, and stress reduction. At Metashifts Hypnosis, we use Ericksonian style hypnosis combined binaural beats, isochronic tones, along with several other powerful methods to create effective, 20-30 minute sessions that help people fall asleep faster, quit bad habits, boost productivity, and much much more.

How Hypnosis Works: The Science Behind the Trance

Hypnosis induces a relaxed state similar to daydreaming or meditation, where brainwaves shift to theta (4-8 Hz) levels— the same frequency associated with deep relaxation and creativity. During this trance:

  • The conscious mind quiets, allowing suggestions to reach the subconscious.
  • Neuroplasticity increases, helping rewire habits like overeating or procrastination.
  • Studies from Stanford University (2023) show hypnosis activates the anterior cingulate cortex, reducing pain and anxiety by up to 50%.

No mysticism here—just neuroscience-backed methods like pacing and leading, metaphors, and post-hypnotic suggestions to make lasting changes without willpower struggles.

Top Benefits of Hypnosis

Based on clinical research from the American Psychological Association (2025):

  • Better Sleep: Fall asleep in minutes and stay asleep longer (ideal for insomnia hypnosis).
  • Quit Smoking: 60-80% success rate with sessions like our Smoke Out program.
  • Weight Loss: Boost motivation to move more and eat mindfully, leading to sustainable results.
  • Stress Relief: Reduce anxiety in one session, with long-term effects from theta binaural beats.
  • Productivity: Overcome mental blocks and enter “flow state” for focused work with

“I was more focused. I was more driven. Thank you Jason! This has made a huge difference!” – Lauren Denos, Mission Viejo, CA
Jason has helped me in ways i never thought possible. I am motivated every day and my sales have skyrocketed! His unconventional and perhaps somewhat controversial methods of therapy have taken me to new heights of confidence, and my self esteem is better than it has ever been. Yes, he can be hard on me sometimes, and sometimes i just want to scream, but he seems to know exactly what buttons to push with me. He is amazingly talented and I am deeply satisfied with his services. I will highly recommend him to all of my friends and can’t wait to see what’s in store for me at our next session. – V. Hua, Los Angeles, CA
Jason, It’s been over six months now and I am still a non-smoker. I can’t thank you enough. It was amazingly easy & continues to be. If you ever need a reference call this ex-smoker.” – Marilyn C.
Hey Jason, Thanks so much for the mini-hypno sesh during lunch a couple of weeks ago. It seriously helped. I’ve been out three times in the water with absolutely no fear….I also told Mark about it and how it may help him with some things. – Jessica Davis, Orange, CA
Initially a bit skeptical, I visited Jason’s office to deal with my intense fear of snakes. Prior to the session, I frankly couldn’t imagine how he was going to be able to help me.However his techniques were remarkably successful. My fear was replaced by fascination and although difficult to explain, he managed to cancel the negative power I had associated with snakes. The mind is a wondrous thing. Jason proved to me that he was adept in his techniques to help me overcome my fear. Based upon my experience, I recommend his unique and helpful services. – Trisha B., Trabuco Canyon, CA
I was a bit skeptical about how much a breakthrough session would help, I didn’t think I really had anything significant to work on. Jason is AMAZING! He was really easy to talk to and asked all the right questions. I was able to change the worst part about my relationship for the better. My boyfriend & I haven’t fought about our differences, in fact, we appreciate our differences & are able to fully communicate with one another and keep an open mind by fully accepting & acknowledging the opinions we both have. Jason is very open & easy to listen to & talk to. He is a pro when discovering the structure of a problem or concern and making it just disappear. – Makena
