Use Hypnosis to Change Your Life and to Achieve your Goals

April 17th, 2008    Subscribe To Our Feed

Did you know that you can use hypnosis to change your life and achieve your goals? Hypnosis is an amazing mind-body state. Although it’s been understood for thousands of years, no one quite knows how or why it works as well as it does, or even what it is.

In this article, we’re going to look at how hypnosis, which is essentially just deep relaxation, helps you to success.

Start by creating a goal you’d like to achieve. This goal may be simple: you may want to eliminate a habit like over-eating, or procrastinating. Or your goal may be larger. Perhaps you want to increase your income, eliminate debt, or gain self-confidence.

Although hypnosis is a widely popular method for removing phobias and bad habits, you can also use it to become the person you’d like to be.

Write down your goal.

Hypnosis Reprograms Your Mind

Hypnosis works by reprograming your mind. The hypnotherapist induces a state of deep relaxation and then makes suggestions to you.

We’re all susceptible to the power of suggestion - we receive suggestions all day every day, from advertising, from our friends and colleagues and from ourselves. However, when you’re awake and alert, you’ll dismiss most of the suggestions you receive. This is just as well, otherwise your life would be unbearable.

In hypnosis, the analytical part of your mind is temporarily in abeyance, so suggestions are accepted by your subconscious mind, and your behavior changes accordingly.

Achieve Any Goal You Set

Hypnosis is a low-stress method of changing your attitude towards your goals, and changing your behavior so that you actually start working towards achieving those goals.

Using hypnosis, you can set goals in any area of your life. You can improve your working life, your social life, your health and your finances.

Learn Self-Hypnosis

The easiest way to use hypnosis to achieve your goals is to learn self-hypnosis. In self-hypnosis, you become your own hypnotherapist. You can create your own inductions (the preliminary stage of hypnosis, during which you relax completely) and your own scripts.

Once you’ve created a script, you can either repeat it to yourself once you’re deeply relaxed, or you can record the script, and can play it to yourself.

When you’re learning self-hypnosis it’s useful to have one or two sessions with a hypnotherapist, so you know how it feels to be hypnotized. When you first become familiar with hypnosis, it’s common to feel that “nothing’s happening”, until you realize that your behavior has indeed changed.

Three Weeks to Success

Sometimes hypnosis works instantly. You have one session, and get the results you want. However, usually you’re want to have multiple sessions. This allows the suggestions to sink deeply into your mind, and your new behaviors to become deeply integrated.

Therefore, when you buy a hypnosis CD or tape, use the program several times a week for at least three weeks. It takes three weeks to change a behavior. You will find that you’re changing well before the end of three weeks, but keep listening to the program.

Hypnosis is a powerful tool. If you take the time to learn self-hypnosis, you will have a tool you can use for life, to create the life of your dreams… simply by relaxing, and listening.

You can put anyone under your spell - use hypnosis on others and get them to do what you want.

Because of the close body-mind connection, hypnosis has a wide range of uses. Aside from the common use of hypnosis for weight loss and stopping smoking, hypnosis can be used for anesthesia, stress, and learning disorders.

Several decades ago “sleep learning”, as a form of hypnosis was popular. Now you can buy CDs which will help your child to improve his learning abilities.

How to Learn Self Hypnosis

Want to learn self hypnosis? It’s an excellent skill to acquire, especially if you’re by nature a tense person, or are under a lot of stress.

You can learn self hypnosis from books, CDs, or DVDs.

The process has three steps: relaxation, the suggestions you give yourself, and finally the return to waking consciousness.

Many people make use of self hypnosis scripts, which they read into a tape recorder, and then listen to. However, for a simple set of suggestions, a script isn’t necessary, although it does help to write down your suggestions so that they’re clear in your mind.

The suggestion phase

Once you’re completely relaxed, you can give yourself your suggestions.

Just talk to yourself and sell your subconscious mind what you want to achieve.

You might say, “I am eating less and losing weight daily.”  Your suggestions are like affirmations in a sense - they’re in the present tense, and they’re positive statements.

Anger Management Hypnosis - does this work?

July 27th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Hypnosis has been used for anger management therapy, and is often successful, providing that it’s used in conjunction with other therapies. If you have anger management issues, it’s doubtful that hypnosis alone will provide s solution.

The goal of anger management hypnosis is to reduce both your emotional feelings and the psychological arousal that your anger causes. Simple relaxation tools, such as deep breathing and relaxing imagery, are able to help you deal with this.

Cognitive restructuring is also used in anger management hypnosis: it aims to change the way that you think.

CDs etc in anger management hypnosis

Although there are many self-management options for hypnosis, if you have anger management issues you need to visit a hypnotherapist who specializes in this treatment. It’s not something you should try to treat yourself. Anger is a powerful emotion: it’s possible to treat using hypnosis, but you need to get advice and on-going therapy.

Highway Hypnosis - can it affect you?

July 27th, 2007    Subscribe To Our Feed

Highway hypnosis takes a couple of forms.

In the first one, as you’re driving a familiar route, your subconscious mind takes over, and you reach your destination without knowing quite how you got there. In the second, more dangerous form, long straight stretches of highway can lull you into a dangerous trance, and even put you to sleep - this is sometimes known as “micro sleep” where you fall asleep for several seconds.

Although there is no definite time as to when highway hypnosis will happen, it often occurs when you are driving on when you are driving on a fairly long and straight road, and your body becomes relaxed and the repetition of the passing lines on the road tend to send your brain down the path of least resistance, and before you know it, you become lulled into a passive trance.

Although there is also no definite way of being able to avoid this highway hypnosis, there are certain suggestions that you may want to take into consideration.

For instance one idea is to not listen to music while you are driving, because this tends to put most people into a more relaxed state, especially if it is something such as classical music. You also may want to avoid driving after you have eaten a heavy meal or when you are already tired, and remember to also take frequent stops when you are going on long trips so that you can rest.

Take frequent rests when driving long distances

To avoid micro sleeps (which can result in driving off the road or head-on collisions) don’t set out on a long trip when you’re tired.

And when you’re traveling for hours, stop at least once an hour. Your rest breaks can keep you alive.
