How To Do Hypnosis

A lot of people think there is some sort of mystery or hocus pocus surrounding the state of hypnosis or self-hypnosis. Since I’m a certified practitioner of this wonderful health tool, I’ve written this article to give you the four key facts about hypnosis, demystify the whole process, and hopefully shed some light on how you can use self-hypnosis to achieve any goal you want in your life.

First, did you know that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis? Did you know when you are hypnotized that no one can make you do anything against your morals or beliefs? Why? Because you have the free-will to accept or reject the suggestions your hypnotist gives you. 

Second, did you know that every human being alive goes into a natural state of self-hypnosis 3 or 4 times a day? Let me give you some examples. Do you daydream? Have you ever stared at a burning candle or a fire place flame and got so relaxed and focused on the flame that someone said something to you and you did not hear what they said? What about when you’re watching TV or reading a book? Again, someone said something to you, but you were so focused on the TV show or the words on the page of your book that you did not hear them. These are examples of natural states of self-hypnosis. My favorite way to experience self-hypnosis is called, “Road Hypnosis.” This happens while I am driving down the road and I completely miss my turn or I didn’t even remember passing the street. Ha! Has that ever happened to you? This is also a natural state of self-hypnosis. 

Third, the most important thing you need to understand when you are in self-hypnosis is at that moment in time, you are in the most highly suggestible state for your subconscious mind, which makes up 90% of your mind, to accept suggestions. Yes, both good and bad suggestions. Why is this important? Because all of your good/bad habits and good/bad beliefs are stored in your subconscious mind.

And fourth, research has proven that self-hypnosis is the quickest and easiest way to change your behavior. In essence, what you are really learning to do is dehypnotize yourself from that negative self-talk that I call Radio Station, K-R-A-Z-Y and learn to train your “inner critic” to be your best friend by embracing more positive self-talk. The good news is that when you learn to practice self-hypnosis, you have a lifetime tool that no one can ever take away from you, and any goal you want to achieve is possible!
