Can You Hypnotize Yourself?
Did you know that you can hypnotize yourself? It’s true, you don’t need a hypnotherapist. You can hypnotize yourself very easily. In fact I am 99% certain that you put yourself into a hypnotic trance at least once every day.
When you think of the word “hypnotize” what pops into your mind? Is it images of stage hypnotists getting their audience to do weird things like eating a raw onion or putting on special spectacles that allow them to see everyone in the buff? That is a bit of fun with some willing participants. They know what is going to happen when they volunteer for such pranks.
Stage hypnosis is frowned on by some clinical hypnotherapists because they think it brings hypnosis into disrepute. It is true that it may convey the wrong idea about the process. Clinical hypnotists don’t muck around with you like that of course.
A clinical hypnotherapist can help you to change your unwanted behaviours more easily and I think that having a bit of knowledge about what happens on stage can actually help you with therapeutic hypnotism. After all you have seen how powerful hypnosis can make you a more willing participant in the process.
If a hypnotist can help you to become hypnotized then surely so much more easily can you hypnotize yourself? After all you can relax on your own and you won’t have any issues with trust. You can be very comfortable, warm and private when you hypnotize yourself too.
Do you need more convincing that you can hypnotize yourself?
Think about this: do you ever get so absorbed in something that you jump when someone interrupts you? Or do you find yourself driving to your work when you meant to go and visit a friend? The state of mind that causes you to be ‘miles away’ like that is a form of self-hypnosis.
To use this innate skill to hypnotize yourself is a very simple way to overcome various mind body habits that you have picked up. You probably know that you can use hypnosis to lose weight, beat insomnia and to stop smoking, to name just a few of the problems that hypnosis can help with.
The power of hypnosis to help you to change your mind is phenomenal. It doesn’t require you to stare at a swinging watch nor to gaze into a strange person’s eyes. All it requires is for you to be warm and comfortable and to be able to take some time for yourself. You then sink into a wonderful relaxation and during that time you listen to a hypnosis session on a CD or your mp3 player.
There are many hypnosis downloads available on line today so it is quite easy to find something that you feel comfortable with. It is important that you are happy with the voice that you are listening to and so you need to be able to listen to a sample of the program before you purchase it. That is very easy to achieve online and anyone selling hypnosis audios should provide a sample for you to hear before parting with your money.
Once you have made your purchase you must follow the instructions that come with it and be sure to listen at least once every day. The more often you can listen the better your results will be.
On the right you will see some of the most popular hypnosis downloads from a company that you can have complete faith in. I have bought their products and they are excellent and they really do work if you persevere and follow the instructions. All that really means is listen to them!
