Many people believe that there is no difference between self hypnosis and meditation because in both the processes you actually focus towards the vast inner world of yours.
However, there is only a single difference between them that really makes them-two totally separate processes.
The dissimilarity lies in “aim” or “goal”. In meditation, your mind is free and independent to accept and observe whatever comes up from the ripples and waves arising inside your mind…
Whereas, during self hypnosis you have a specific aim-you are there to improve upon something or maybe to reprogram your subconscious mind for changing certain unwanted behavioral patterns.
What happens when you don’t have any fixed place to go but you have started a journey?
It becomes exciting and mysterious, as you don’t know- what’s next?
Meditation is a journey to your , and here you don’t give any directions to your mind but you let your wise inner self to guide you and show you whatever is necessary for you right now.
Every spiritual experience that you may have while doing meditation is new and special, these experiences are often of such nature that cannot be explained to others.(to know more check out- )
As explained in the post ““,meditation is something where you just enjoy the beauty of the present moment.
It is like sailing your ship in the ocean without knowing where you are, and where are you going ,but, you will reach a new island every time!
Before going into a trance you set your goals, you send a strong message to your subconscious mind with the help of your “intent”,this is often done by using repeated affirmations.
Unlike meditation, here you will have a specific path to follow, a pre-planned procedure that is based on a specific purpose.
This means, in self hypnosis you reprogram your subconscious mind.
Yes, there is much more than just that..
During self hypnosis, you enter a limited part of your inner world to alter the beliefs in your subconscious mind, this is actually a very logical thing to do with less or no curiosity for spiritual expansion.
However, during meditation you surrender to the infinity by going beyond the logical mind(conscious mind), this is why the experiences that you can have during meditations are mystical and wonderful.
