This comprehensive book serves as an intrinsic guide for practitioners who wish to learn our style of hypnosis, or who want to integrate transpersonal dimensions into their hypnotherapy practice. Authored by Lucien Cattai and Prof. Allison Lee Axinn, this 340-page volume bridges our approach to the hypnotic trance and the access to expanded consciousness , offering a comprehensive theoretical Foundation that stims from the experience of every student, client, teacher, and contributor that has been involved in the work we do here since decades.

The book establishes an in depth curriculum of our approach to hypnotherapy that honors both the psychological and the spiritual dimensions of the human experience. It talks about creating sacred containers where practitioners can facilitate inner sanctuary,  where clients can access deeper states of consciousness, explore their soul's journey, and discover healing resources that exist beyond ordinary awareness.

Organized into five main parts, the text progresses from basic foundational concepts through advanced Principles, including:

• Establishing therapeutic safety, presence and synergy.
• Learning hypnotic induction and deepening methods that we use.
• Facilitating transpersonal experiences (inner sanctuary work, hypno-dialogue, soul communion)
• Understanding the spiral timeline healing process.
• Maintaining ethical practice and practitioner sustainability.

Each chapter weaves together Cornerstones of hypnosis practice with notional conceptualization, offering specific crafts for:

• Creating inner sanctuaries for physical and emotional safety.
• Facilitating dialogue with inner wisdom and spiritual guides.
• Anchoring and integrating transformative experiences into daily life.
• Supporting clients through integration challenges.
• Recognizing and working with trauma responses.

The book acknowledges that working with expanded states requires the therapist's own ongoing development, providing guidance for:

• Cultivating therapeutic presence and open minded approaches.
• The balance between managing boundaries  and creating synergy with the client.
• Preventing personal and professional burnout.
• Exploring self ethical considerations unique to transpersonal work.

Our book emphasizes a collaborative, non-rescuing approach that honors client sovereignty while teaching the skills needed for facilitating the exploration of territories expanded consciousness. The idea recognizes that true healing often emerges not from fixing what appears broken, but from reconnecting clients with their inherent wholeness and inner resources.

This Theoretical guide serves both beginning practitioners seeking in depth training and experienced therapists looking to deepen  or transform their approach in working with hypnosis, offering a bridge between ancient wisdom traditions and contemporary therapeutic understanding.
