Do I have to be “good at hypnosis” for this to work?
Not at all. Hypnosis is simply a natural state of focused relaxation that most people experience every day (like when you’re absorbed in a book or music). You’ll be gently guided the whole time — all you need to do is follow along.
Will I lose control or be made to do anything?
No. You’re always aware and in control. This is a calm, guided relaxation experience — you’ll simply feel more focused, settled, and relaxed.
What if I can’t relax or my mind keeps thinking?
That’s completely normal. There’s no need to “empty your mind.” The combination of breathing, gentle guidance, and drawing naturally helps your nervous system settle at its own pace.
Is this safe if I’ve never tried hypnosis before?
Yes. This class uses light relaxation techniques designed for everyday stress relief. It’s simple, gentle, and suitable for beginners.
Do I need artistic skills for the drawing part?
Not at all. This isn’t about creating perfect art — it’s about slow, flowing movement. The simple line process helps shift your brain into a calmer state, and many people are surprised by how relaxed and grounded they feel as the drawing unfolds.

What you'll do
Guided Relaxation
Ease into a relaxed, centered state as you’re guided to slow your thoughts and soften your body. From this grounded place, your mind becomes quieter and more focused -- giving you a calm, steady foundation to begin.
Draw the Lines
With just a pen and paper, you’ll start creating slow, flowing lines -- no planning, no pressure -- simply allowing your hand to move with ease.
Soften the Intersections
Then you’ll begin to smooth and soften the places where your lines meet. Moving slowly here encourages your body to relax and allows a natural sense of ease and flow to emerge.
Add a Touch of Color
If it feels right, you can add a touch of color to parts of your drawing. This final step helps everything settle in, leaving you with a calm, complete piece to keep.
Or Simply Use One Color to Express Yourself
There’s no right or wrong -- just follow what feels natural to you. One color, many colors, simple lines or evolving shapes… whatever wants to emerge. That’s the beauty of Hypnodoodle™.
What you'll get
- Calmer state, clearer mind, and improved focus!

Your teacher
I believe calm shouldn’t be complicated -- and creativity doesn’t have to be intimidating.I’m Susannah, a Certified Master Hypnotist and the founder of MindShift Potentials. I was drawn to this work after seeing how exhausting anxiety and constant overthinking can be, especially when traditional “just relax” advice doesn’t actually help. What I loved about hypnosis was how gentle and practical it is -- it works with the nervous system instead of fighting it.Hypnodoodling grew out of that idea. I wanted to create an experience that felt easy, grounding and accessible -- even for people who say, “I’m not creative” or “I can’t switch my brain off.” By combining guided relaxation with simple, flowing drawing, Hypnodoodling gives your mind something calming to follow while your body naturally settles.There’s no pressure to be artistic, no need to share, and nothing to get “right.” I guide the process so you can simply show up, pick up a pen and enjoy the experience.If you’re looking for a creative way to slow down, quiet the mental noise, and reconnect with yourself, you’re in exactly the right place. If you can hold a marker, you’re already qualified -- just bring a pen, some paper, and a willingness to slow down. I’ll guide you from there.
