What happens when I experience hypnosis?

"Hypnosis is a doorway to the unconscious; when approached with innocence and clarity, it reveals healing depths, but if clouded by conditioning, it can unleash the terrors of repressed pain."
According to Osho, hypnosis is a simple, innocent relaxation that, when approached rightly, brings softness, calm, and silence. But if you enter it on top of social conditioning, you drop into the unconscious where repressed pains surface like 'serpents and dragons,' producing terrifying but imaginary states. First de-hypnotize—uncondition and cleanse—then hypnosis becomes a fresh, healing entry into deeper layers rather than a nightmare.
Hypnosis is like closing your eyes to rest, but if your mind-room is messy with hidden fears, you’ll bump into them—so tidy up first, then the rest feels peaceful.
Why this matters practically
- Begin with deconditioning (meditation, awareness) so hypnosis becomes safe and clarifying.
- Choose guides who have personally traversed these states, not just learned techniques.
- If fears appear, recognize them as repressed material and remain a calm witness.
