ENJOYING HYPNOSIS FOR A BETTER LIFE
Hypnosis is normal, natural and safe, something like day-dreaming. You will never encounter any problems when you use self-hypnosis. However, never try to hypnotize anyone else, unless you have had professional hypnotism training. Problems are rare, and only occur with inexperienced people hypnotizing others.
Everyone experiences hypnosis differently. Reports sometimes include floating, tingling, heaviness, lightness, drifting, etc. Others feel that their consciousness has floated outside their body and they are looking at their body which appears heavy, limp, relaxed. You will have your own unique experience which is yours alone, because everyone is a unique person.
The more you let go and just enjoy it, the more it will happen. You do not have to try hard to do anything. Just forget about everything for a while and R-E-L-A-X.
Here are some misconceptions many people believe. You might not awaken from hypnosis. People cannot keep secrets in hypnosis. You can be made to do anything in hypnosis. It must be perfectly quiet to hypnotize. The TRUTH is that everyone comes out of hypnosis; people can refuse information and lie in hypnosis, if they want to do so; people CANNOT be forced to follow any suggestions that are of an illegal or immoral nature; and I have hypnotized people in the middle of noisy exhibition midways, with thousands of people talking, shouting and applauding.
You do not have to make your mind a “blank”. Just relax yourself and then seed the positive suggestions over and over and over to your mind. This will change your feelings, thoughts and behaviour, as you wish. After hypnosis, most people remember what has happened in the session.
SIMPLE STEPS TO HYPNOTIZE YOURSELF:
- WRITE OUT YOUR SUGGESTIONS POSITIVELY, WHAT YOU WANT TO ACCOMPLISH. PICK A KEY 1-2 WORDS WHICH SUMMARIZE THE SUGGESTION.
- HYPNOTIZE YOURSELF. Tense up, let go all over. Deep breaths. Let your eyes roll upwards into your head, under your closed eyelids. Relax each part of your body. Relax your eyes to the point that they feel too heavy to bother opening. Drain away tensions. Think of a time and place when you were very relaxed. Use all your senses. For example, see yourself relaxing on the warm soft sand of a beach; hearing the waves splash against the rocks; feeling the sand between your toes; smelling the fresh ocean air; tasting the ocean water. You can see, imagine or remember what it was like. When you remember a pleasant experience, you will feel good.
- THINK ABOUT THE 1-2 KEY WORDS. See, imagine your success as having been accomplished long ago. See yourself months or years in the future.
- THINK “At the count of 5, I’ll be wide awake, following all my suggestions, automatically, effortlessly.”
