FINDING INNER HARMONY WITH HYPNOSIS

by Rainya M. Dann ‧ RELEASE DATE: July 18, 2019

A comprehensive guide to using hypnosis in order to achieve your goals.

The latest nonfiction work from Dann (Your Hypnosis Career, 2017) goes into great detail about the author’s conviction that hypnosis is a key method of unlocking “Neuro-Linguistic Programming” practices that can change the reader’s life. These changes will come about when readers learn to grapple with what the author refers to as the different levels of personal awareness. “When your Conscious, Subconscious and Superconscious are in alignment,” she writes, “you will feel in harmony with yourself.” Hypnosis, which Dann describes as “fun, natural, and easy to learn,” is a practice she claims will take readers “to a place of stillness where you can access your inner resources and live in the present moment.” In discursive prose, Dann takes readers through the steps necessary to refine their personal goals and better shape their own inner universe, basic steps like discovering what they want, assessing how close they already are to achieving it, and, in what’s often called “the Meta Outcome Question,” asking what achieving that goal will actually do for them. The author stresses the centrality of what she (somewhat redundantly) calls “positive affirmations,” things like eating healthy meals, “attracting” more money and a life partner, and trusting in God. Readers are urged to create an affirmation, go into a trance, and allow their subconscious to feel the experience of actually already having what they want. “You will notice what you visualize comes into being when you say and feel them everyday [sic],” Dann writes in one of the book’s self-evidently inaccurate assertions (another being a popular assertion in self-help spiritualism: “Powerful affirmations can help heal and regenerate your body, and bring radiant health”). Dann’s narrative tone is warm and inviting, and her underlying message, emphasizing the infinite potential for self-betterment, more than compensates for the book’s more than occasional vagueness (“You lose sight of your true being when you identify with the personality,” etc.).

A multilayered exploration of the power each person has to achieve inner harmony.
