Relaxation
Relaxation refers to the state of the body and mind that is free from tension, stress and anxiety. Relaxation is an important part of self-care, helping you to take care of your well-being when you feel stressed or overloaded.
This formula focuses on relaxation, both physical and psychological, and is designed for people who do not have a therapeutic objective per se, but who wish to benefit from the secondary advantages of deep hypnosis: total relaxation of the mind and body muscles.
You'll be guided into a deep trance where, step by step, you'll discover the joys and benefits, both physical (muscular relaxation) and psychological (nervous tension), of a regenerative trance.
During a 60-minute session, your therapist will take you wherever you want to go, wherever you feel most at ease. Whether it's as an eagle flying over the Alps or a dolphin swimming in the ocean, the choice is yours.

Why should I relax?
Healthy living is all about balance. Relaxation can play an essential role in the balancing process, along with diet, physical activity and stress management.
We are faced with constant demands, not only at work, but also in our family and social lives, and this has a major impact on our stress levels. Stress affects us all in different ways, and many of us don't even realize how stressed we are. We often get used to being tense, so we take it for granted.
But feeling stressed or tense for long periods can have a negative effect on our general well-being. Research into the relationship between stress and health shows that stress not only affects our mood, but can also have consequences for our health. These include digestive problems, intestinal disorders and high blood pressure. It has also been shown to lower our immunity, and slow our body's recovery from major traumas.
So even if you don't think you're overly stressed, it's important to watch for signs of excessive tension:
tense muscles
wake up tired
difficulty sleeping
grit your teeth
aches and pains
persistent fatigue or exhaustion
palpitations
feeling rushed, panicky or short of time
a growing number of minor complaints such as headaches or stomach aches
the feeling of a knotted stomach
loss of appetite
difficulty thinking clearly or concentrating
Relaxation techniques are considered key to restoring or maintaining a healthy body and mind. Some relaxation exercises are designed to help you slow down your breathing and heart rate, which can help lower blood pressure and muscle tension. Relaxation can also help you master your worries and enable you to acquire other skills, such as mindfulness.
Hypnotherapy as a relaxation therapy
For some, relaxation techniques are not enough to achieve a state of emotional and physical calm. Certain therapies are considered an effective alternative, as they produce states of deep relaxation. They can help those with ongoing problems of stress and anxiety.
Hypnosis for relaxation
Hypnosis is a recognized form of relaxation therapy. It can reduce "stress chemicals" and restore balance to the body. Regular sessions relieve accumulated pressure and tension, helping you learn to take better care of yourself.
Hypnotic trance is the induction of a state of deep relaxation. The mind is guided away from the troubles of everyday life, and into a place of tranquility and peace. During this process, the hypnotherapist may offer therapeutic suggestions to encourage changes in attitude and behavior, or to relieve stress-related symptoms. This relaxation therapy is comfortable, safe and considered a highly liberating experience. It is beneficial for both body and mind.
The main benefits of this type of deep relaxation are as follows
helps restore and strengthen the immune system
lower blood pressure
stress relief and reduction in chronic pain, tension headaches, back pain and migraines
reduce emotional distress and unblock emotional blockages that can contribute to stress
helps concentration
improved energy levels
sleep aid.
Hypnosis offers a confidential and comfortable setting in which your body and mind can be safely filtered of tension and stress, allowing you to relax.
Hypnotherapists often send their patients home with post-hypnotic suggestions that allow them to self-hypnotize after the sessions.
Self-hypnosis
Self-hypnosis is essentially an extension of hypnosis, and can be one of the best relaxation exercises to help you control your stress levels. It can also be used as a tool to help you cope with the problems of everyday life. It's an easy-to-use, regular source of relaxation, with a range of positive effects on emotional and physical well-being.
