Direct Your Life with Self-Hypnosis

HARNESS THE POWER OF YOUR MIND

Most knowledgeable people will agree that the mind is an extremely powerful force?perhaps the most powerful force in the universe. Self-hypnosis provides a means of using this power to personal advantage: to achieve self-mastery. Psychologists have claimed that every human has, perhaps subconsciously, the same goal ? the achievement of self-actualization, the reaching of an individual maximum potential, or in sports terminology, the achievement of the ?personal best.?

Most people, though they may be unaware, have experienced hypnosis. Daydreaming is a form of hypnosis. Becoming deeply involved in a book, movie, TV program, theatrical performance or on their computer can be a hypnotic experience. Missing a turn while driving may result from ?the mind being elsewhere,? which can be hypnosis. 

Hypnosis is not sleep. It is not unconsciousness. It is often described as an altered state of awareness, where the conscious mind is attending to other things, allowing the body to operate on what might be called ?automatic pilot.? Authorities have described hypnosis as ?something that you DO,? not as something that is done to you.

The use of imagination is important, and efforts become much more productive as skills in imagination and visualization are acquired. Hypnosis can be particularly helpful in changing attitudes, and helping to bring about major changes in important areas of life: to eliminate bad habits, adopt healthier lifestyle, increasing self-confidence, motivational advancement, learning enhancement, memory improvement, stress management, emotional stability, relationship issues, pain management, and countless other areas of personal concern. 

Self-hypnosis techniques have proved to be very effective in advancing sports performance skills, and are frequently used by top professional athletes and Olympic contenders in many nations.

There are four elements in achieving a pre-planned state of self-hypnosis. They can be learned by study or through instruction. They are: 

Fixation ? clearing the mind and preparing it for the work ahead.

Relaxation ? diverts the conscious mind and enables the unconscious mind (far more powerful) to provide or absorb information.

Suggestion ? implanting the instructions into the unconscious mind.

Imagination ? the power source for change, development, modification or whatever is necessary to fulfill achievement of the individual goals. Imagination involves all 5 senses: visual, auditory, touch, taste, smell.

WHY LEARN FROM A PROFESSIONAL?

One of the great benefits of hypnosis is its use in psychotherapy to reveal underlying causes of issues and reduce the time of treatment. While powerful and effective when used by professionals in the fields of hypnotism, medicine, psychology, psychiatry, and other holistic practices, it can produce dramatic results when used independently by those who have mastered the techniques of self-hypnosis.

There are countless books on self-hypnosis that discuss what it does, how it works, techniques used, etc. There are even more books on self-improvement and stress reduction, including topics such as relaxation, meditation, mindfulness, success mindset, brain hacks, and similar subjects. Many professional hypnotists teach self-hypnosis as a part of their offered services. Other practitioners use it as an adjunct to therapeutic procedures in specific cases.

Many professionals claim that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, referring primarily to the fact that hypnosis cannot be forced on anyone. An individual who does not wish to be hypnotized cannot be hypnotized. A person who wishes to be hypnotized can take himself/herself into any of several depth levels of hypnosis.

One factor is critical?the experience of self-hypnosis is likely to more effective when the technique has been taught by a professional than if it is attempted experimentally from written instructions. The process is not difficult, but it is much more easily learned under supervised guidance, as you hone the required skills that will improve with every personal experience you have with self-hypnosis. Much can be accomplished through individual effort when you have a proper understanding of how to apply it. You will also likely be more cognizant of when circumstances warrant working with a professional hypnotist on certain issues, rather than going it on your own. Just like when moving your belongings into a new residence, you can move a lot of the smaller boxes by yourself, but it is wise to enlist the help of other people when moving the big items, like furniture and appliances.

In the state of hypnosis, self-directed analysis of an issue can reveal the direction needed for forward progress, and such insight can spur motivation that results in taking effective action. Self-suggestion, under hypnosis, can provide the reinforcement necessary to achieve specific goals. Every individual has tremendous sources of power available on demand ? once the means of accessing such power are understood and utilized.

AUTO-SUGGESTION IS THE KEY

It has been pointed out by many speakers and writers in many different word formations that ?what your mind can conceive, you can achieve!? This form of positive thinking or statement of affirmation dates back to biblical times (for example: ?As a man thinketh, so shall he be?). The same basic thought has been the theme of countless books on self-improvement, all of which deal with the power of the mind. Self-hypnosis can be the afterburner to positive thinking ? the super ?power-thrust? which can blast a dream into reality.

Self-hypnosis, used in conjunction with imaging and visualization, can generate the power to change, the power to create, the power to progress toward self-actualization. One of the world?s greatest problems is the acceptance by people of self-imposed limitations: ?I don?t know how!? ?I?m not educated enough!? ?I?m too busy!? ?I?m too old!? ?I?m too young!? ?I?m too sick!? ?My (wife, husband, mother, father, teacher or whoever) wouldn?t let me!? etc. These restrictions, limits, bonds, ropes or chains can be removed, and progress resumed through the power of self-hypnosis.

Preventive and restrictive emotions?worry, fear, sadness, grief, anger, hate and other negatives?can be overcome by the person willing to meet the four basic requirements for success: Desire, Belief, Expectation and Demand. Self-hypnosis can provide the nurturing to enable these requirements to advance to the power levels necessary for fulfillment.
