What's up, everyone, welcome back to the podcast. Thank you so much for tuning in. I really hope you're having an amazing day today. We're gonna dive into a really cool episode, I think you're gonna enjoy this one. Today we are talking about the differences and similarities between meditation and hypnosis. If you are a meditator yourself, if you practice meditation on a regular basis, then you already know that meditation really involves this deep level of relaxation, and peace and just mindfulness. And we carry a lot of this over into hypnosis as well, especially when we are facilitating sessions for our clients. And we're helping them get into deeper levels of relaxation, and thus, deeper levels of hypnosis. But there's some key differences between these two different practices. And today, we're going to take a look at some of what those differences are. We'll also, like I said, take a look at some of the similarities and where these two sort of ideas kind of overlap each other. Now, we are going to dive into a past conscious community Class A recording that Matthew Brownstein has created, where he was teaching, and going really deep on these ideas of meditation and hypnosis, and again, what's different and similar about the two. Now just a couple of things, you know, to make sure that you're listening for Matthew's going to talk about the different brainwaves and different mind states, if you will, that are associated with each of these practices of meditation and hypnosis. And then he's also going to really dive into some interesting perspectives. Because if you don't know, Matthew is a religious scholar, and has spent most of his adult life studying, you know, all the different world's religions. And he's just got such a cool perspective when it comes to looking at these different practices of hypnosis, and meditation, as well as many other things, but understanding them from different perspectives based on you know, what he studied about different religions. So again, this is going to be super fascinating and interesting for you, I really think you're going to learn a lot in this episode. This is going to be part one of a two part series, because these classes, they go a little long as you know, and I want to condense this into two different episodes for you. So this is part one. I hope you enjoy it. I'm back for next week for part two. So let's go ahead and jump in.
