In Part 2 of this transformative 4-part mini-series, Grace Smith demystifies hypnosis by breaking down the actual neuroscience behind it. Forget everything Hollywood has taught you about hypnosis - Grace explains what really happens in your brain during hypnotic states and why this understanding is crucial for lasting transformation.

You'll discover the four main brainwave states (Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta) and learn why the Theta state - where hypnosis occurs - is your brain's most adaptable condition. Grace reveals how Thomas Edison used self-hypnosis daily to fuel his inventions and shares the powerful "jungle to highway" analogy that explains how neural pathways are created and strengthened.

The episode includes a guided 3-minute stress relief technique that can reduce your stress levels by 50% on average. Grace walks you through the complete process, from breathing exercises to visualization, showing you exactly how to access the Theta state and begin rewiring your stress response.

Whether you're skeptical about hypnosis or ready to dive deeper into transformation, this episode provides the scientific foundation you need to understand why this tool is so powerful for creating lasting change.
