In October 2024, New Scientist spotlighted the locus coeruleus as the brain’s potential “master control switch”—a tiny, powerful nucleus influencing attention, arousal, memory, and mood. But what does this mean for us as hypnotists?
This dynamic session dives deep into the role and function of the locus coeruleus and why it may be the missing link in how we guide and embed change. We’ll explore how this neuromodulatory hub shapes trance states and what every practitioner should know about working with it safely, especially when supporting stress, fatigue, or trauma recovery.
You’ll experience two hypnotic explorations—designed to deepen your own connection to this vital brain region and give you practical tools to use with clients. Come curious, and leave with neuroscience-informed insights and embodied confidence in using this “blue spot” for precision, presence, and transformation
