Some people think self hypnosis is dangerous or even evil, while others merely think it is for emotionally insecure crazies!



It is unforntunate that these false views are held by many. The cause of this rests squarely on the shoulders of Hollywood film producers who have, for many years, depicted hypnosis as a means of manipulating the masses for the benefit of the few.

Stage hypnosis in its current form has damaged the general view of self hypnosis as well. Although highly entertaining, stage hypnotism has damaged the reputation of hypnosis and weakened the generic view of this powerful mind tool.

Self hypnosis and hypnosis are just words used to describe an extremely relaxed state of body and highly focused state of mind. This relaxed state allows us to clear our minds of unwanted mind-clutter, worries and the constant mind chatter associated with them.

With the growing popularity of self hypnosis and the growing awareness of its capacity to create profound internal changes there is becoming a greater lack of understanding about the processes involved. In fact most people never realize that they enter states of self hypnosis regularly. You actually experience states of hypnotic trance many times throughout a normal day.

Daydreaming is probably the one trance state that people can most easily identify. However, when you watch television read a book or become engaged in an engrossing conversation you are experiencing different degrees of the trance state. You also enter into this type of state just before you fall asleep and directly after awakening.

All hypnosis is self hypnosis, for in order to enter a hypnotic state you must willing give your consent to be hypnotized. No hypnotist can force you into trance!

Self hypnosis can be explained simply as a very relaxed state of body that is accompanied by a heightened sense of mental focus and concentration.

This of course means that hypnosis and self hypnosis are the exact same phenomenon and the fact that we all move in and out of trance states throughout the day means that everyoone is hypnotizable. Added to that, the fact that hypnosis is the same as self hypnosis, we realize that it is possible to use self hypnosis on someone else.

The first thing you need to do if you wish to hypnotize someone else is to experience the state yourself. You will make a much better hypnotist if you have personally experienced the profound peace and heightened focus of the trance state.

You can easily get your hands of very high quality pre-recorded self hypnosis sessions that do the job very well. By using these recordings you will undergo trance yourself. Once you have become familiar with the state it will be much easier to create this trance state in another.

If you are interested in learning self hypnosis techniques to create trance in yourself and others it is advisable to get a good self hypnosis course. Techniques that you can use on yourself can easily be modified to be used on others. Having already experienced the trances state through pre-recorded sessions you will be better able to identify the processes involved when learning these techniques.

Finding the correct self hypnosis course is important. It is important to make sure whatever course you get has instructions for using the very latest induction and mind programming methods. Self hypnosis has moved rapidly into the 21st Century and uses 21st Century techniques and tools. Using binaural beats as an aid to entering trance can almost triple your success rate when trying to create a trance state in yourself or other people.
