The Difference between Hypnosis and Meditation:

In meditation, the individual is focusing either on one particular image, word, idea, or the breath. Some meditation work encompasses emptying out the mind of any and all thought. Used in the therapeutic hypnotherapy setting, hypnosis becomes a way to focus, the work is much more specific and directed for a particular use or goal. While the feeling state of meditation and hypnosis is very similar, the outcomes are quite different.
