The Secret Reason Why Hypnosis is your Friend

Reassuring Reasons why Hypnosis is your Friend

Believe the hype or think for yourself

For too long hypnosis has had a bad or 'difficult' press. If a person doesn't understand something they have 3 options open to them.

1) They might be sceptical and therefore save the trouble of looking further and possibly benefiting.
2) They may conclude it is dangerous and to be avoided at all costs.
3) They may spend time discovering the truth behind the hype.

If you don't know much about a topic it's easy to be suspicious. Some people assume hypnosis is akin to a carnival side show, others consider it mystic mumbo jumbo or 'mind control.' For those who look beyond the hype the truth is far more illuminating.

The most powerful tool you possess

There are potentially huge benefits for those who use hypnosis as part of everyday life. When you understand hypnosis you start to see its potential to improve human performance in the physical, emotional and intellectual realms. For me, rumour, gossip and suspicion weren't good enough.

I determined to learn all I could about hypnosis - I learned every fact and practised every technique under the sun. I took several training courses - some good, some terrible. I invested thousands of hours of devoted study to hypnosis and discovered just what is possible. I hypnotised friends, neighbours and work colleagues. Hypnosis greatly changed things for me on a personal level

How hypnosis helped me

I used to be shy. Thanks to hypnosis I can now talk to thousands at a time and can approach anybody calmly and confidently.

I used to have poor concentration and procrastinate; thanks to hypnosis I can instantly motivate myself.

I used to find physical work outs and exercise exhausting but because of hypnosis I am now in the best shape of my life.

Incidentally I also stopped myself blushing with hypnosis. Now if ever I have a difficult call or conversation coming up, something I may naturally feel reluctant to do (you know the kind of thing) I spontaneously self hypnotise and rehearse the upcoming situation feeling good, with myself remaining calm. In this way I habitually set my own emotional 'blue prints' for up coming situations. Having said that it's naturally that some people have concerns or half digested 'hand me down' ideas regarding hypnosis. A common one is the one about 'mind control.' However what does this really mean?

Why you are more in control of yourself in hypnosis

If someone expresses concerns about being 'controlled' in hypnosis what they mean is they don't want to be like a robot, an automaton that is forced to obey the every whim of the hypnotist. We can't help but influence others but we don't control them. To understand why you need to understand hypnosis better.

So what is hypnosis like?

Hypnosis isn't like a coma. It's not unconsciousness - more a subtle shifting of consciousness. In hypnosis, you can still think logically but you also have access to the 'software' of your mind so that you can update instinctive emotional and physical responses. In fact the hypnotised subject (not the hypnotist) calls the shots. When I hypnotise someone I need to go at their speed and respond to their needs and expectations. Hypnosis will give you more control in your own life because of what it enables you to do.

How can I be so sure?

Because over the decades I've seen all kinds of people, all ages and from all backgrounds turn their lives around thanks to hypnosis. When you use hypnosis for yourself it improves confidence in all kinds of ways. When you use it to change other's lives it just blows you away. This is what I mean.

When I first hypnotised someone to feel no sensation in a painful arthritic arm it was an incredible feeling. When I first cured life long phobias quickly and comfortably I was astounded. When I stopped hardened alcoholics from drinking and even got a heroin addict off the stuff and back into mainstream life again I started to feel angry that people could just associate hypnosis with entertainment.

With the aid of hypnosis I (and many people I have trained and worked with) have helped severely depressed people feel strong and positive again. The rewards and satisfactions are hard to describe. I'm going to take a stand against ignorance and short sightedness around hypnosis and here's why.

Why you need to reclaim hypnosis for yourself

Hypnosis is your birthright. It's nature's optimum learning tool. In fact to learn and perform anything well you need to experience a natural focussing of attention, a natural kind of hypnosis. To be successful hypnosis needs to be your companion and friend.

Successful people use it naturally all the time because hypnosis is natural. It's the way we learn new responses. Unlike medications its side effects are purely positive - one expectant mother I worked with to feel relaxed during child birth later reported that she was also more relaxed when flying!

Hypnosis is easy to learn and every body can benefit. Hypnosis is a safe environment to 'try out' new behaviours and emotional patterns before you experience them for real. So the young man can ask a woman out for a date many times in calm relaxed hypnosis so that by the time he does it for real it feels real and natural and relaxed. Sports people who use hypnosis learn new quicker and more accurately. So hypnosis gives you more control of yourself and your life, it's natural and gives you instant benefits and it's a way of 'trying on' and establishing new patterns of emotional response and behaviour, Hypnosis enables you to develop yourself as a human being.

5 Hypnosis Myths Exploded

5 Hypnosis Myths Exploded

OVER the years, hypnosis has picked up all sorts of weird associations from stage hypnotists, the media and superstition. This is a great shame, because in reality, hypnosis is your single most effective tool for change. Hypnosis is your birthright, and you should know how to use it so it doesn't use you. Here we dispel the biggest hypnosis myths.

Hypnosis Myth 1) All hypnosis is the same

As with anything, hypnosis can be good, bad or indifferent. The most common is old-style authoritarian hypnosis of the type "You are getting sleepy, you are feeling confident". Unsurprisingly, this sort of hypnosis doesn't work well with many people. Good hypnosis uses subtle psychological principles and advanced communication patterns.

It's like the difference between a football coach who thinks you'll perform best if he yells at you, compared with the more elegant style of a great leader who knows that to get the best from his people, he needs to understand motivation, to cajole, encourage and reward.

Hypnosis Downloads.com offers hundreds of sessions using the best type of hypnosis.

Hypnosis Myth 2) Subliminals work

Subliminals are words that you can't hear. Common sense says they shouldn't work, and there's no research proving that they do.

Hypnosis Myth 3) Some people can't be hypnotized

The only reason you can't be hypnotized is if you are incapable of paying attention due to extremely low IQ or brain damage. That's not to say that every hypnotist can hypnotize you however. The more flexible the hypnotist, the more effective she will be with the largest number of people.

Hypnosis Myth 4) Hypnosis is something weird that other people do to you

If you couldn't go into hypnosis, you wouldn't be able to sleep, to learn, or get nervous through 'negative self hypnosis'. (You know when you imagine things going wrong and it makes you feel anxious? Well that's self hypnosis!)

Hypnosis is simply a deliberate utilization of the REM (Rapid Eye Movement) or dream state. We're not giving people medication here – if it wasn't a natural ability, hypnosis wouldn't work!

Hypnosis Myth 5) You lose control in hypnosis

Crazy news stories, stage hypnotists and gossip have created the illusion that you lose control in hypnosis. In fact, when hypnotized, you are relaxed and focused – and able to choose to get up and walk away at any time. You choose to give your attention to the hypnotist, and you can withdraw it at any time.

If you have been scared of hypnosis in the past, this article has hopefully convinced you to at least give it a try. But remember, ensure what you're getting is the real thing.

The Handshake Technique

"I'm going to shake your hand three times.
The first time your eyes will get tired. . . let them.
The second time, they'll want to close . . . let them.
The third time they will lock and you won't be able to open them . . .
Want that to happen, and watch it happen. . .
Now, one . . . two . . . now close your eyes . . . now three . . . and
they're locked and you'll find they just won't work, no matter
how hard you try. The harder you try, the less they'll work.
Test them, and you'll find they won't work at all . . . That's
right. Now, that's perfect eye-closure."

Hypnosis Do's and Dont's

There are certain things you should not do, at least at
the start. After three or four weeks have gone by, you can
forget these don'ts: Don't try to hypnotize your wife, or
members of your family, or friends you see socially; these
people know you are studying hypnosis, and will put up an
instinctive objection to becoming your guinea pigs. Don't
try to hypnotize people who "defy" you to put them into the
state; hypnosis is a consent state and, obviously, the person
who defies does not consent. Don't try to prove the value of
hypnosis to a skeptic; at this early stage, you will be arguing
from a position of weakness. Later on, when you know
enough about hypnosis, you can argue from a position of
strength.
It is also very important that you don't treat the subject
of hypnosis as a joke or a parlor game. Hypnosis is a scien-
tific study when it's properly conducted, and if you respect
hypnosis as you should, you will not use it for parlor tricks.
It has a great value in medicine. You must intend to use it
that way if you-and your patients-are to get the maximum
benefit from it.

Napolean Hill's Famous Self-Confidence Formula

First. I know that I have the ability to achieve the object of my Definite Purpose in life, therefore, I DEMAND of myself persistent, continuous action toward its attainment, and I here and now promise to render such action.

Second. I realize the dominating thoughts of my mind will eventually reproduce themselves in outward, physical action, and gradually transform themselves into physical reality, therefore, I will concentrate my thoughts for thirty minutes daily, upon the task of thinking of the person I intend to become, thereby creating in my mind a clear mental picture of that person.

Third. I know through the principle of auto-suggestion, any desire that I persistently hold in my mind will eventually seek expression through some practical means of attaining the object back of it, therefore, I will devote ten minutes daily to demanding of myself the development of SELF-confidence.

Fourth. I have clearly written down a description of my DEFINITE CHIEF AIM in life, and I will never stop trying, until I shall have developed sufficient self-confidence for its attainment.

Fifth. I fully realize that no wealth or position can long endure, unless built upon truth and justice, therefore, I will engage in no transaction which does not benefit all whom it affects. I will succeed by attracting to myself the forces I wish to use, and the cooperation of other people. I will induce others to serve me, because of my willingness to serve others. I will eliminate hatred, envy, jealousy, selfishness, and cynicism, by developing love for all humanity, because I know that a negative attitude toward others can never bring me success. I will cause others to believe in me, because I will believe in them, and in myself.

I will sign my name to this formula, commit it to memory, and repeat it aloud once a day, with full FAITH that it will gradually influence my thoughts and ACTIONS so that I will become a self-reliant, and successful person.

What is the Mind?

So, what is the thing we call the mind? You cannot see it, a doctor cannot tell you where it is, and yet we seem to need it.

The mind is not an entity; it is a system that gives order to our computer like brain. Without a systematic way of taking in and processing information, our lives would be out of control; nothing would make any sense at all.

How does this mind work? We have two areas of information storage and thought processing. We are totally aware of the first area. We call it our conscious mind. The information and processing in the second area is done below awareness and therefore we have no idea of what is happening in this part, known as the inner subconscious mind. This part of your mind thinks its in charge as this is where the journey to the center of your mind begins. Both parts of the mind system have very important duties.

There are four primary parts of the conscious mind, they are:

1. Analytical Thinking

2. Rational Thinking

3. Will Power

4. Temporary Memory

The analytical and rational thinking parts of our mind are used before and after we take action. We use analytical thinking to solve some problem and then take whatever action is necessary. Because we always need a reason for the things we do, if no analytical thinking was used before acting, rational thinking gives us a reason for doing what ever we have just done. Rational thinking gives us a reason that does not have any factual basis and therefore it is usually bad information but it is a reason and that is all we need.

Will Power thinking is very temporary and wears off with time.

Temporary memory is where we hold only the information that we are using now. If I ask you to think of a tree, a tree moves into the temporary memory and will stay there until it is no longer needed and then it just drops out of memory.

The inner subconscious mind is far more complex then its counterpart. Besides the following four duties, the inner subconscious mind monitors and controls all of our bodily functions. The center of your mind is what keeps your breathing, your heart and your eyes, continue to work automatically.

The four parts of the subconscious mind are:

1. Permanent Memory

2. Habits

3. Emotions

4. Self Preservation

Memory of everything that we have ever experienced, real or imagined is stored in the permanent memory area of the subconscious mind. Everything you've ever seen heard or felt, everything that has ever happened around you, your dreams, your past and your future are all stored there. Copies of these experiences can be brought to the temporary memory area of the conscious if you know how to open the door.

Habits are also in the area that is below awareness. That is why it is so difficult to alter habits with conscious effort (Such as with Will Power).

Our emotions are controlled from within the inner subconscious mind, at the center of your mind. Try as hard as you want you cannot alter your emotions with conscious effort. Some people find that they are able to hide an emotional reaction but they still feel it.

Fortunately, we have a part of the inner subconscious mind that monitors all our activity and will not allow us to do anything that this part of us feels could be harmful to us physically or mentally. This is called the protective mind or the critical factor, and it is what prevents you from taking the journey to the center of your mind with just Will Power. Understand that if our internal protective mind does not know that something is harmful, it will not stop us from doing it.

At a conscious level, we may know that we have certain bad habbits, but if the protective mind in the inner subconscious does not know it is unhealthy then we are able to continue anyway.

This is why there is only one thing that can prevent you from going into the beautiful state, known as center of your mind. That one thing is fear.
