There are several ways to practice and apply hypnotherapy, with a wide range of experiences and results. Whether you’re seeking private sessions or a training course in this art, this post clarifies the distinction between traditional hypnotherapy techniques and The LaBay Method.
In the following post, I’ll discuss:
- What hypnotherapy is
- Why traditional approaches to hypnotherapy aren’t always the most effective
- How my signature approach, the LaBay Method, is a hypnosis technique that gets results
Keep reading to learn about the long-lasting client breakthroughs with The LaBay Method that may even span multiple lifetimes.
What is Hypnotherapy?
Hypnosis is a profound state of relaxation, focused mind, and heightened sensory awareness, achieved when applied techniques bring the subject’s brain waves to the Alpha or below range.
Hypnotherapy has become so popular because people are discovering that it’s one of the fastest and most effective ways to explore, discover, correct, and enhance personality, lifestyle, health, and well-being.
In recent years, we’ve learned much about consciousness and the mind.
One thing we’ve learned about the human mind is that when our brainwave frequencies shift from our everyday Beta state to Alpha, Delta, or Theta, we can access a rich, vast source of creativity, intuition, and wisdom. This even allows us to construct the very things we want to manifest. Yes, this is the level we want to be swimming in to create and attract positive outcomes in our lives.
When we are in hypnosis, we’re influencing the mind to resonate with frequencies between Alpha and Delta. Down here, there’s a luscious pool of creative and intuitive inspiration, powerful wisdom and manifestation, and the ability to heal at a very deep level.
This state is one of the goals of meditation. However, many people struggle to achieve effective meditation, and so we find hypnosis provides a quicker, more reliable means.
Limitations of Other Hypnosis Techniques
In hypnotherapy training, a new practitioner will be introduced to various hypnosis techniques. But not all hypnosis is the same.
Most hypnotherapy practitioners rely on scripts—what I call the traditional, old-fashioned way. They can spend hours conducting research, writing, or poring over a stack of scriptbooks to prepare for a one-hour session. Then, they read this “canned” monologue while their client is in a trance.
It’s a significant time investment and may not align with the client’s subconscious needs. Every individual is different. You can’t use scripts from a book and expect them to work with precision for everyone.
As I began my practice, I quickly realized that my clients already had the information and wisdom needed to achieve their goals, but it was locked in their subconscious minds. So, I set about developing the next evolution of hypnotherapy as a more efficient healing modality.
The LaBay Method Hypnosis Technique
The LaBay Method focuses on client-centered, soulful protocols to elicit relevant insights. There are no more awkward scripts, just engaged dialogue with the subconscious mind.
The LaBay Method is:
- Uniquely developed from decades of hands-on practice and careful evolution of the techniques
- Selected to bring you the most effective results while covering the wide range of presenting issues typically encountered in a well-rounded practice
- Spans the spectrum from clinical applications to spiritual, for the inclusion of healing and growth on all levels, holistically
While “traditional” hypnotherapists were working on their scripts, I began gathering creative ideas and developing new techniques based on my other areas of study.
These healing and self-awareness techniques include elements of:
- Psychology (Gestalt, Perls, Freud, Jung, and others)
- Neuro-linguistic Programming (Erickson, Bandler, Grindler, and others)
- Indigenous practices (Celtic and Native American Shamanism, and the like)
- New physics (time/space, aspect theory)
- Transpersonal mysticism (energy, intuition, past lives, between lives, astrology, and much more)
The LaBay Method is an elegant and unique approach to self-awareness, healing, and expanded perception, developed and refined over my decades of practice. The effectiveness of this method has been demonstrated by thousands of my clients who’ve achieved rapid and lasting results with:
- Blocks and decisions
- Pain, suffering, abuse, and grief
- Addictions, habits, and phobias
- Relationships, manifestation, and abundance
- And so much more.
This method is more effective because the session is facilitated through dialogue, involving the client at each step. They will explore the underlying causes of issues and identify the exact pathway to resolving them.
They will have breakthroughs and “Aha!” moments and, through the applied techniques, be able to manifest distinct changes in their attitudes, behaviors, and values. Even in a one-hour session, they will achieve tangible life-changing results.
This isn’t something that is done to them. This method provides the client with a supported “workspace” to organize their life. They can eliminate what’s not working and achieve their desired lifestyle.
Using the LaBay Method for Past Life Exploration
The LaBay Method works not only in this life but also in other lifetimes. Over the years, I’ve been a pioneer in developing the most advanced protocols for exploring and healing past lives.
Imagine your soul is like a diamond with an infinite number of facets. Each facet represents a different life you have lived. You’re living on one of those facets, thinking this is all there is, but the majority of who you are is composed of all those other facets. You, in this body, are just a small fraction of the whole of who you are.
A client’s current life issues are often rooted in unresolved traumas from previous lifetimes. These traumas are hidden away in the subconscious mind and frequently surface in unwanted ways, such as pain, disease, and confusing reactions and behaviors. Addictions and conditions such as Fibromyalgia are among the cases I’ve treated that found their resolution by applying healing techniques within one or more past life regressions.
In many cases, exploring the past life cause is necessary to complete the healing journey. For clients ready to deepen their personal and spiritual growth, recalling past lives is foundational. How can you truly know yourself if you’re aware of just one out of millions of aspects of your soul’s full dimensionality and brilliance?
Ending Thoughts
While there are several approaches to hypnosis available to those who want to learn these techniques, they’re not all created equal. If you’d like to incorporate hypnotherapy and past life regression into your career plans, make sure you learn a wide range of practical techniques that will allow you to provide the best results for your clients.
