Can hypnosis be combined with sound and smells?

Hypnosis does not produce side effects, as such, you can combine it with smells our even sounds. This combination, enables each individual to further ponder in their different qualities. When we work with smell or sounds, we are aiding the person to anchor the emotion with the smell or sound.

When we work with the smell, we use smell retraining therapy, each person reacts differently to different smells. This is common, sometimes the smells that trigger us, are the ones that require special attention. Smells bring memories and as such these open up new patterns of personal growth.

Can everyone be hypnotized?

Generally speaking, mostly everyone can be hypnotized unless there is a medical condition that a medical doctor recommends a hypnosis not take place.
