CMH belief: our outcomes & research always leads to this

Understanding the CMH Trance and Its Impact on the Brain 

At Calming Minds Hypnotherapy, clients experience a unique trance state — the CMH Trance — which invites them to go deeper than typical modern hypnotherapy. This deeper state is believed to be the Theta brainwave state, associated with: 

• Deep relaxation 
• Heightened imagination 
• Emotional healing 
• Access to subconscious creativity 

The Neuroscience Behind CMH Trance 

1. Future-Focused Healing Through Imagination 

The main focus of the CMH Trance is guiding clients into their future using the power of imagination. When in theta state, the brain becomes highly receptive to new ideas and possibilities. Clients can: 

• Visualise a calmer, more confident version of themselves 
• Create new, empowering neural pathways 
• Reinforce positive beliefs and emotional states 

This future-focused approach taps into neuroplasticity, allowing the brain to rewire itself toward growth and healing. 

2. GABA: The Brain’s Natural Calming Agent 

GABA (gamma-aminobutyric acid) is the primary neurotransmitter responsible for calming the mind. It acts like a brake system for the brain, slowing down overactive thoughts and reducing anxiety. In the CMH Trance, we believe: 

• GABA levels increase 
• Cortisol (the stress hormone) is better regulated 
• The mind becomes more balanced and peaceful 

3. Creating the Future — and Healing the Past When Needed 

In the CMH Trance, the primary focus is on using the imagination to create a compelling, calm, and confident future. In the theta brainwave state, the mind becomes highly receptive, allowing clients to: 

• Visualise the life they want to live 
• Strengthen new, empowering neural pathways 
• Reinforce positive emotional states and beliefs 

This future-focused work taps into the brain’s neuroplasticity, helping clients rewire their thinking and emotional responses. 

However, when emotional blocks from the past are still active, the CMH Trance also allows clients to gently revisit defining moments. In this deeply relaxed state: 

• The hippocampus helps access stored memories 
• The amygdala, which processes fear and emotion, softens its response 
• Clients can reframe or forgive past experiences, reducing emotional intensity 

This flexible approach — building the future while healing the past when necessary — is what makes CMH so effective and transformative.
