Module 1: OMNI Hypnotist

The training teaches you the fundamentals and advanced techniques of hypnosis.

Hypnotherapy has a very wide range of uses, from allergies to toothache. As a hypnotherapist, you can use the OMNI methods to work at the emotional causes of a wide range of mental and physical symptoms and blocks. You can also use our techniques in coaching and self-development. Please check the laws and regulations in your country.

The training consists of 20 hours of online learning in 40 lessons, with an online forum and Q&A sessions.

You learn how to use self-hypnosis for your own well-being and your clients’.

You practice hypnosis techniques with case studies and practical exercises.

Experienced hypnotherapists and teachers with extensive practical experience, led by Hansruedi Wipf. The training content is exactly the same, whichever instructor you choose.

A structured, ISO 9001 certified program with regular evaluations and feedback keeps the quality of the training high. The OMNI hypnosis training has been ISO 9001 certified since 2015.

Yes. OMNI is strongly committed to research. A project carried out by OMNI together with the University of Zurich led to three scientific publications, in Frontiers in Human Neuroscience (2023), Cortex (2024) and Scientific Reports (Nature Portfolio, 2024). According to the researchers, it was the first hypnosis project worldwide to study two different depths of hypnosis with such a standardized, multimodal approach of fMRI, EEG and magnetic resonance spectroscopy. The studies showed measurable changes in brain networks during hypnosis, and the fMRI study also found differences between the two depths of hypnosis. Another first was the study of the neurochemical environment with magnetic resonance spectroscopy: in deep hypnosis, the ratio of myo-inositol to total creatine changed significantly in one of the brain regions studied. The studies add new insight into the neurobiological basis of hypnosis. For now, the results apply to the healthy participants with hypnosis experience who were studied.

The studies show that at least two different states of hypnosis exist: somnambulism and the Esdaile state. This is an important contribution to understanding hypnosis.

Brain patterns in somnambulism showed parallels to those under propofol anesthesia. The reasons need further research.

The results broaden our understanding of what happens in the brain during hypnosis. They are one building block. Broader statements need further research.

The study shows that hypnosis is visible and measurable in the brain. Hypnosis causes real, detectable changes in the brain.

Hypnosis was induced with the OMNI hypnosis induction, based on the methods of Dave Elman and Gerald Kein. The OMNI inductions used in the research projects are the same ones you learn in the training. They are standardized and easy to use. From the first day, you learn to hypnotize others reliably and verifiably.

In the Esdaile state, participants reported subjective changes in perception, such as body boundaries dissolving, deep mental and physical relaxation, losing their sense of space and time, or inner images. Whether this is linked to the changes measured in the brain cannot yet be said with certainty.

The study makes visible what happens in the brain during hypnosis. The question often debated in academic circles, whether hypnosis is a state of its own at all, is now settled: the research even found two different hypnotic states. That helps to discuss hypnosis in medicine on a factual basis. Recognition as a form of therapy needs further research.
