Ever had a song take you somewhere you canāt explain?
Thatās not just music⦠thatās hypnosis. š¶āØ
š¶ Subconscious Sunday ā Music as Hypnosis š
Yesterday I taught at my beloved HMI.
The topic? Dispelling the myths and fears around that word⦠āHypnosis.ā
Pauseā¦
That word alone often stirs something instantly⦠a feeling, a thought, maybe even an image in your mind.
Th truth is, whether you know it or notā¦
We go in and out of hypnosis all the time.
It happens in our relationships.
In moments of excitement or anxiety.
When weāre watching a great movie or TV show.
When weāre driving down the road, lost in thought.
And sometimesā¦
Itās when a certain song comes on.
You know the one.
It ādoes somethingā to you - shifts you, transports you into another state of being.
Thatās hypnosis.
Last night, I saw a band I love, Geographer - in a small club in Santa Barbara, and they took me there.
Music has always had that effect on me.āØIt reminded me of how itās deepened my bond with friends and family, especially my daughters.
Weāve shared epic shows over the years, moments that go beyond parent/child into pure, magical connection.
We were collectively in that hypnotic state⦠together.
Music moves me. It transports me.
And it can move YOU⦠if you allow it.
š¬ Your turn:
What band or song creates this special, magical state for you?
