Advanced Self-Hypnosis Techniques

Why Practice Self-Hypnosis

For those who have purchased and use Hypno-Scripts Volume One, you know that practice is the key to become adept at putting yourself into an hypnotic trance. Any success is predicated on either or both; your level of concentration and focus through the induction and scripts and/or how deep you take yourself.

During our conscious waking state, anything we try to assimilate into our minds is censured by the logical left brain as a protective mechanism. The left brain decides what is good for us and what is not. That is one reason many find it difficult to learn in general. What hypnosis does is turn off the monitoring of the left brain, leaving us open to suggestion. Through repetitive suggestions and phrases, the left brain becomes bored. Hypnosis quietly and easily puts the left brain to sleep so there is no censuring. Deep hypnosis bypasses the mind-brain barrier to pure mind only. It opens a part of your mind leading straight to that which you wish to accomplish.

For those who question personal safety while under hypnosis, this is likened to being in actual sleep. The moment your mind registers something that may sound threatening (someone inside your home, or frightening noises near you) your mind will wake you immediately. Likewise, though your left brain is quieted under hypnosis, the moment anything happens that threatens your safety while under hypnosis, your conscious mind kicks you out of hypnosis to an alert and fully awakened state. This capability leads to the need to practice self-hypnosis in an environment and at a time when no interruptions would occur.

Whether under hypnosis, your all-knowing mind protects you.

While reading these books is a way to learn, the only way to enable the scripts to be effective is to memorize the techniques you gravitate toward. You must be able to mentally give yourself the suggestions. Chances are, your eyes will be closed. It goes along with relaxing. So read to learn and memorize, then breeze through your sessions. Each practice session takes you to deeper levels.

With repetition, you ultimately learn to feel yourself going into an hypnotic trance without having to count down. This only happens with serious committed habitual practice. The simple act of repetition cements your intention, and each time takes you deeper and deeper. Eventually, in a quiet place with time to relax, you feel your body going into hypnotic relaxation without counting. Becoming that adept takes commitment and diligent practice over time. You have the same power of mind as everyone else, but you have found a way to make the power of your mind work wonders for you. With repetitive practice, self-hypnosis becomes second nature. When you need to concentrate, it just happens. Your focus will be better than you have known it to be, both under hypnosis and during the waking state.

Knowing your reason for wishing to be in hypnosis helps to choose the correct script to learn. If a personal dilemma must be solved, think about the basics of that problem, without embellishing it.

For example: You wish to be closer to your mate or spouse but feel your children disrupt that togetherness. Think again. The children are not the problem and should not be included in the equation. Think only about your relationship with your mate or spouse and how to compromise and manage the situation in which you find yourselves. Concentrate only on that without transferring fault to the children. Really narrow your focus in solving any dilemma.

Hypnosis is not always about solving dire problems. Perhaps you wish to improve a skill. Learn what may be holding you back from perfecting it. Once learned, it no longer remains an obstacle. We learn about our shortcomings, that proverbial brick wall that seems to prevent us from moving forward. Once we understand the obstacle, it becomes knowledge instead.

Likewise, hypnosis cannot make anyone do something they do not wish to do. For example, if a person wishes to diet, but does not give up eating unhealthy foods or big meals, then hypnosis will not work. The person must be willing to live the hypnosis suggestions to see improvement. If they can do that, the weight disappears.

Neither can hypnosis make a person do something that goes against their morals and ethics. Our mind protects us and keeps us from making mistakes if we trust it to do so. There is no fear of coming out of hypnosis and then doing something that goes against our character. Not even when hypnotized by someone else.

People seek therapy believing they may be ill (mentally or physically), or that something is just not right. Or they wish to change aspects of their life. The outcome they wish could be minor or major. Many minor situations can be changed immediately by instilling techniques while under hypnosis. However, in complicated cases, a hypnotherapist cannot simply give the suggestion that they are now alleviated of their malaise. The patient will not believe it, especially when they believe without a doubt that improvement is needed, or that they are beyond help.

That is why, instead of leading them to believe they are instantly healed, we use suggestions like rejuvenation, energizing, and others. Under hypnosis, the person is moved through steps to improvement. This changes their attitude and way of thinking that enables healing. Then change can take place during the session. These techniques work the same with self-hypnosis.

All hypnosis carries an amount of success equal to how much effort is put into it. The techniques provided here are simple and easy to memorize, which helps to move through a session faster. Believe in the instructions so that every time they play in your mind, that is what you believe, and nothing can change it. Maintain deep faith that the instructions effect change.

The process is the same with any learning. We only fear what we do not know. Learn hypnosis and use this tool to become the person you wish to be. Determine to find the hidden parts, the real you.
