5-PATH® Hypnosis

• Highly systematic – It’s a step-by-step approach, often used over several sessions.

• Emotional clearing – Goes beyond symptom relief to resolve root emotional causes.

• Compatible with 7th Path Self-Hypnosis® – A self-hypnosis system also developed by Cal Banyan, often taught to clients to support ongoing transformation. 

Key Differences between 5-PATH® Hypnosis and other forms of hypnosis work: 

➤ Depth & Structure

• 5-PATH® goes deeper than traditional suggestion hypnosis by combining several therapeutic techniques in a phased, structured process.

➤ Direct and interactive

• 5-PATH® is more direct and interactive, which gets results. However, we also use metaphors and indirect methods when appropriate. 

➤ Client Involvement

• With traditional, suggestion-based hypnosis, clients are usually passive recipients of affirmations and instructions. Consequently, the results may bring short-term change. 
• However, with a 5-PATH® hypnotist, the client is actively participating in the process of finding and healing emotional issues and reprocessing them. It could be described as something like therapy within hypnosis.

➤ Spiritual/Personal Growth Angle

• 5-PATH® is often paired with 7th Path Self-Hypnosis®, which leans into spiritual or self-empowerment work—a feature not usually present in other approaches. 
• Clients with a spiritual belief system will process the suggestions spiritually, but an atheist or agnostic client will process it philosophically. It works for both.
