suggestive meditation therapy
A practice developed by Ben Glover
Suggestive Meditation Therapy (SMT) combines elements of meditation with suggestive techniques, often associated with hypnosis or guided imagery, to help clients achieve a deeper state of relaxation or focus. This approach may involve using calming language, visualizations, and positive affirmations to guide the client into a meditative state where they can be more open to suggestions that encourage personal growth, healing, or stress relief.
The focus could be on mental and emotional well-being, with guidance to help the person explore their thoughts, feelings, and subconscious patterns while in a meditative state. The goal is to help individuals reframe negative thinking, improve self-awareness, reduce stress, and develop healthier behaviours or attitudes.
This method can be therapeutic for people dealing with anxiety, trauma, habit cessation, health issues or those who want to strengthen their mindfulness practices while addressing specific personal challenges.
