Meditation vs. Self-Hypnosis: What’s the Difference and Why You Need Both

Hey everyone!

Welcome back to another inspiring episode of The Rewired Podcast! I’m your host, Gianna Badot, and today, we’re diving into a topic that’s both deeply personal and incredibly powerful—meditation vs. self-hypnosis. As a certified hypnotherapist, meditation teacher, and one-on-one coach, I’ve explored these transformative practices extensively. Let’s break down what makes them unique and how each can support your personal growth.

Meditation: The Power of Presence and Inner Peace

Let’s start with meditation—a practice that’s been the foundation of my personal and spiritual journey for over a decade. My path began as a yoga practitioner and teacher, and over the years, I’ve had the privilege of learning directly from Buddhist psychologists and monks, even in the peaceful stillness of the Himalayas.

Meditation is all about grounding into the present moment, reconnecting with your body, and activating your natural state of relaxation. It’s not just sitting in silence—it’s a daily practice that brings me clarity, calm, and an incredible sense of inner connection. Think of it as your mental reset button, helping you pause, breathe, and realign with your inner wisdom throughout the day.

Self-Hypnosis: Rewiring the Subconscious Mind

Now, let’s discuss self-hypnosis, a practice that’s often misunderstood but transformative. Unlike meditation, which centers on awareness and presence, self-hypnosis is focused on reprogramming the subconscious mind.

Self-hypnosis isn’t about being out of control or in a sleep state—it’s about tapping into a deeper level of consciousness where real change can happen. Whether you’re working to overcome procrastination, improve your money mindset, or release chronic stress, self-hypnosis gives you targeted access to the root of your patterns. It’s like meditation with a mission.

Through guided self-hypnosis, you enter a focused, relaxed state that allows you to plant new beliefs, clear blocks, and create long-lasting transformation.

Why You Need Both: Meditation and Self-Hypnosis

Here’s the truth: you don’t have to choose between the two. I use both meditation and self-hypnosis daily. I start my mornings with meditation to center myself and return to the present. When I want to address specific goals or inner work—like rewiring limiting beliefs—I turn to self-hypnosis.

Both practices serve a unique purpose and complement each other beautifully. Meditation connects you to your higher self. Self-hypnosis rewires the subconscious stories holding you back.
