How Hypnosis and Hiking Improve Your Mental Health
Today’s Hypnotic Trip will show you how hiking and hypnosis can improve your mental health. It happens in Arizona at the Grand Canyon. And more specifically at the Kaibab Trail on the South Rim. Temps are in the 110s with little shade.
Why am I hiking in the desert in the middle of the summer? Because I haven’t done that before and I love the element of surprise and am fascinated at how my brain adjusts to new surroundings. I find in that state I am much more alert and prepared, whereas going to a place I have been before I am not as tuned in.
I’m Valerie, the hypnotic hiker. I take people on trips in real life or in their minds to release stress and anxiety naturally and improve one’s mental health.
Hiking a new trail creates natural anxiety (which is good). Being in an anxious state is similar to how hypnosis occurs. You see, getting thrown off our normal track (our comfort) causes us to switch from conscious mind to our feeling mind. The creative mind activity increases while the logical mind activity is decreased.
And this trip really threw us off.
1st- bus left at 5 am for the trail
2nd-we hiked down 2200 ft and then back up..the opposite of mountains
3rd-it is a hot climate and high altitude
4th-the vastness of the canyon
Your brain is capable of learning something new.
When you are in a new experience it is the best time to do so. On my hypnotic trips, the hikers and I are in that state of mind and I guide them through processing out an old idea and creating a new one and a new emotional response.

While most neuroscientists once believed that implicit memories and avoidance reactions were locked permanently in the brain’s pathways. Recent brain research shows that we cannot only unlock these neural pathways, but actually erase them and substitute new learning. This makes it possible for hypnotherapists to help clients move on from the past. And to improve their mental and emotional health.
Further, neurons that encode whether a memory is positive or negative can be reprogrammed to switch the emotional association of any experience.
Whether in my office or out on the trail, I practice modern day neuroscience with centuries old hypnotic practices to improve your mental health.
