What is the relationship between hypnosis and meditation?
There are many types of meditation. But the most usual method for beginners is similar to self-hypnosis in many ways. Meditation usually involves deep relaxation, which can be important with self-hypnosis. Both involve sitting quietly and influencing one’s mind. But meditation is usually intended to empty the mind and problems can be solved by neutralising any bad emotions and allowing the mind to find its own solutions. And self-hypnosis usually entrains the mind in a particular direction.
