Ever wonder if you should be meditating, visualizing, or trying hypnosis? These aren’t competing practices—they’re different keys to unlocking the same inner door.
In this illuminating episode, Dr. Gary Danko dives deep into the often-confused realms of hypnosis vs meditation vs visualization—unpacking their unique roles in healing, transformation, and spiritual development. With over three decades of experience in metaphysical psychology and hypnotherapy, Dr. Danko clarifies not only how each practice works, but also when and why to use them.
So many seekers ask: Should I meditate or try hypnosis? Is visualization enough? Are they all the same thing?
The answer, as Dr. Danko explains, is both subtle and powerful. Each practice accesses different levels of consciousness, requires different mental states, and engages different parts of the nervous system and energetic body.
You’ll learn how:
- Hypnosis works with the subconscious directly and is ideal for reprogramming patterns, releasing trauma, and creating behavioral change.
- Meditation calms the mind, opens awareness, and allows you to become the observer of thought, creating peace and clarity.
- Visualization engages the imagination and emotion to stimulate the subconscious and manifest outcomes, often used within both hypnosis and meditation.
Dr. Danko also explores the neurological and metaphysical differences between these tools—helping listeners understand why some people benefit more from one than the other, and how to combine them for even greater impact. So, hypnosis vs meditation vs visualization? Why not get the best of all three?
Whether you’re new to inner work or seeking to deepen your practice, this episode offers grounded guidance, gentle clarity, and empowering perspective. You’ll also hear how to get started with Dr. Danko’s Free Activations at DrGaryDanko.com, where you can experience the fusion of these tools for real-world healing and energetic transformation.
Because it’s not about which method is “best”—it’s about learning which door you’re ready to open… and then trusting what you find on the other side…and may you never be the same again.

Ruthie's Table 4
For more than 30 years The River Cafe in London, has been the home-from-home of artists, architects, designers, actors, collectors, writers, activists, and politicians. Michael Caine, Glenn Close, JJ Abrams, Steve McQueen, Victoria and David Beckham, and Lily Allen, are just some of the people who love to call The River Cafe home. On River Cafe Table 4, Rogers sits down with her customers—who have become friends—to talk about food memories. Table 4 explores how food impacts every aspect of our lives. “Foods is politics, food is cultural, food is how you express love, food is about your heritage, it defines who you and who you want to be,” says Rogers. Each week, Rogers invites her guest to reminisce about family suppers and first dates, what they cook, how they eat when performing, the restaurants they choose, and what food they seek when they need comfort. And to punctuate each episode of Table 4, guests such as Ralph Fiennes, Emily Blunt, and Alfonso Cuarón, read their favourite recipe from one of the best-selling River Cafe cookbooks. Table 4 itself, is situated near The River Cafe’s open kitchen, close to the bright pink wood-fired oven and next to the glossy yellow pass, where Ruthie oversees the restaurant. You are invited to take a seat at this intimate table and join the conversation.
