Whats the difference between self-hypnosis, “guided imagery,” “creative visualisation” or meditation?
Truthfully, there’s not a tremendous difference at all. I believe that the widespread misconceptions about hypnosis have made people afraid to call the process by its rightful name–especially in the business environment. Guided Imagery or Previewing perhaps sound a little less mystical than Hypnosis and “Self-Hypnosis.” All of these processes are simply procedures to relax the body and focus the mind. The state you attain can feel similar for each–no matter what you choose to call it.
