Breathing can be hypnosis.
A note before reading: some of these thoughts touch the less-discussed side of hypnosis. Anchor yourself if needed, and proceed at your own pace.

So remember: breathing can be hypnosis. But it can also not be.
And that's okay.
Your mind lives in your body. Always. Hypnosis can quiet the noise, soften the loops, offer a pause — but the mind is still in the body.
So don't fight it. Don't force a rhythm that isn't yours.
Go at your own pace. Follow the instructions only as far as they feel safe, not as far as they say.
With gentle, consistent practice, something shifts. Capacity can grow. Your lungs may learn to expand a little more.
And eventually, the trance you build — the one made of your own accessible sensations — will seep into every cell.
Not like a command, but like oxygen: essential, quiet, and entirely your own.
