How To Use Self Hypnosis For Ultimate Success

Friday, November 6th, 2009

Without doubt the most important aspect of any self hypnosis session is the setting of your intention. You must have an intention, preferably a written intention, before you even turn a hypnosis recording on. Your written intention should be a statement that sums up the exact result you want to experience after listening to the hypnosis session several times. For an example we will assume you have the intention of being more confident.

Firstly write down a statement outling your intent and alter it so that it becomes an affirmation or set of affirmations. Make it present tense and very positive in nature. “I am increasing my confidence everyday”, “I am self assured and self confident in every situation” and “I can feel my self-esteem increasing everyday” are a few good examples.

Ensure that you do not include the negative aspect your goal or what you do not want such as “I am no longer lacking in confidence” or “My low self-esteem is getting better”. These statements focus on the situation as it is not how you want it to be. So remember keep the statement positive and only include what you do want! While still in a waking state imagine how you would look and feel if these statements were true. take some time now and create a mental movie of how you think the ‘new’ confident you would walk and hear their self assured talk and see how they interact with people. Imagine what kind of emotions this person would be feeling. Construct a movie in your mind that shows you as the confident person you wish to be. See yourself being that confident in circumstances that usually make you feel insecure, fearful or self-conscious. You will use this mental movie during your self-hypnotic trance session.

Begin by breathing deeply. In through your nose to the count of 5 allowing your lungs to expand and then out gently through your mouth to the count of 5 emptying your lungs. This will relax your body.

Focus your gaze softly on a spot in front of you. Look for somewhere that is slightly above eye-level while you keep your head straight.

Relax each muscle group of your body beginning with your feet and moving up to your head. While doing this allow your eyes to close when they begin to feel heavy.

Now take a deep breath and on the exhale mentally repeat your affirmation. Do this for several cycles until you feel that the affirmation is beginning to feel like the truth.

Continue to breathe deeply and imagine that you are at a movie theatre. Directly in front of you hangs a huge wide projection screen. Up on the massive widescreen begin to project the mental movie you made earlier and let it run several times. Imagine you can actually hear the movie audience cheer and clap as the movie starts to run. Clap and cheer yourself as you watch that ‘other’ you acting how you want to act and exhibiting the type of confident behaviour you want to have.

In order to stay completely relaxed and in control of your self hypnosis session continue to breathe deeply and slowly.

Now imagine that you are floating up towards the screen. The audience is going wild as they know what is about to happen. They are cheering you on! Imagine that you float into the screen and become part of the movie. You land just behind that ‘other you’ facing the back of their head.

At this time take a step and walk into that ‘new’ you just as you would step into a projection or as though you wear trying on some new clothes. The new you is a perfect fit! Watch as the colours around get brighter, the sounds get louder and the scene gets bigger. As you enter the new you, feel how it feels to be that person. See what that person sees. Hear what that person hears.

In the distance on the other side of the screen you can hear the audience going wild with delight as you perform and act as that ‘other’ you would act. Feel how good that feels.

Now repeat your affirmations as you imagine the ‘other’ confident you would say them. Feel and believe that these statements are true. Say them with conviction.

Now once you feel all those great feelings of confidence, self assurance and self esteem just allow the scene to begin to fade. Count back from 5 to 1 and allow your eyes to open. Become fully aware of your surroundings as you bring yourself back to physical reality but bring with you all those good feelings.

Boosting Your Hypnosis Influence With Attention Refocusing And Resistance

Thursday, September 24th, 2009

Conversational Hypnosis is based on the language we use. You must be able to get into people?s minds without moving a finger, just by using the verbal and non-verbal communication skills.

Very helpful at doing that are the Stealth Tactics and once you will learn all about them and how to use them, you will be great at what you do. Stealth Tactics are great for getting inside the subject?s mind without him noticing.

Complicate his mind untill that point where he allows you free access. This will take some fine skills from you and you will master them in time. Another very important fact is bypassing the resistance. If the critical factor is awake, the subject will resist your suggestions, so you need to put it to sleep. A very useful method is the Law of Reversed Effect but it can also create a lot of problems.

This means that this technique can put the subject in a combative frame of mind. The subject will defend himself thinking that you are trying to harm him, by suggesting things. This is because the conscious mind does not like to be controlled and it gives up control really hard. A person who loses control sees itself as a weak person. Once a person feels weak, it will overcompensate with feelings of low self esteem and also some destructive behaviors.

As a therapist, you do not want that effect. This is when the Law of Reversed Effect happens and they will fail and cause damage and hardship to the self esteem. But do not think that there is no solution for that because there is. The best way to deal with that is to use that resistance to build the subject?s self esteem.

Sneak suggestions into the conversation and make them see that they have control over their lives.
Redirecting resistance is the best way to do this and it is very simple. It means giving them the power back. They will no more be under influence and they will take control. Give the person something they can not resist and they will see that they have control over their life. The great thing about this is that it is a win-win kind of situation.

He will have a low resistance and you will keep up with the suggestions. Redirecting resistance is only for making the subject a bit stronger and feel in control and there are many ways in which to use this principle. Often it is combined with other stealth tactics.

The next Stealth Tactic is Refocusing Attention. This is about making suggestions, implanting them and then refocus the attention somewhere else. This is similar to seeding ideas. You will plant the idea in their head and then redirect the attention. It is a very powerful technique because it gets pass the critical factor. The rhythm will be like this: suggest, refocus, suggest original idea, refocus and so on like that.

After a while, the subject will say that the planted idea is his and he will assume the responsibility for it and act on it. That is just what you wanted. You may have noticed that you were talking about ideas that you heard many months in the past, taken from someone and not treat them like your own. The Refocusing Attention technique is quite powerful and must be used with caution.

There are many ways of distracting the attention and one very easy thing to do that is to change the topic. Try to refocus the idea on something else. Besides that, an overload of information can cause the same effect. Remember to use this technique and do not forget to come back on the idea that you have planted and see what it has become of it and maybe grow it some more.

You must also remember to alter the repetition and if you are working with a very sharp mind, you must not use the same technique on and on because they will loose focus. Determine which techniques to use after analyzing the person first. In time, you will be able to do that in no time.

Conversational hypnosis can be learned by listening to simple hypnosis audios teachings with an instruction manual. There are various conversational hypnosis online courses that teaches this powerful skill. By learning the covert techniques of influence and persuasion, you will find use for them in almost all everyday situations. If you want to learn it yourself check out this site: conversational hypnosis.

Confidence in Yourself

Wednesday, May 6th, 2009

by Sara Mendez

There is a fine line between wanting to change something about yourself and having low self esteem. Many Americans wish they could be taller, shorter, or have more money. just to name a few. Having a negative or hateful view of yourself is typically associated with low self esteem and is more serious.

Those suffering from low self esteem generally look at themselves and others negatively, lack confidence, and perform poorly. Trying to figure out what percent of the population suffers from low self esteem is nearly impossible as low self esteem is related to many other emotional issues.

Lacking self confidence or low self esteem is not something a person just learns from one random act, it is something that is learned through repetitive criticism. It can come from just about anyone, parents with unrealistic demands of their children, constant comparison to other siblings or children or simply from parents who do not understand he child’s needs can leave them feeling misunderstood and detached.

Children can also learn poor self esteem from classmates or teachers through the same techniques. Others feel negatively about themselves because of societies demands. Many young girls have expressed pressure to be thin simply from a magazine article, they begin to self criticize every time they read an article or see a photograph.

According to Selfesteeminternational.org, we are losing one third of our youth to drugs, alcohol, eating disorders, jail, teen pregnancy, crimes and violence, drop outs, and suicide. The driving force to all of these issues is low self esteem.

Some people have a hard time accepting negative self image is the cause for all of these problems. However Selfesteeminternational.org reported that 80-90% of pregnant teens do not give up their children because they feel a baby will give them the unconditional love they never had.

There are a range of programs which offer help with low self esteem, Some suffers attend counseling sessions, take medication, or read self help books. There are also new techniques being used to help build confidence, one of those is hypnosis. Hypnosis works with the subconscious mind to uncover what memories are causing the low self esteem.

Once the memory has been identified, the hypnotist and patient work though the memory and the patient’s reaction to it. Together they help rebuild self confidence and work through all feelings, good or bad until the patient is satisfied with their progress. Since it works with the subconscious mind, it is easier to open up and express feelings you might not know you were having.

Some people still feel that traditional treatments such as medications and therapy are more effective than hypnosis. However, taking medications can only do so much. They work only with your body’s own unique chemical make up. They do not deal with the actual emotional problems low self esteem is causing.

Therapy can go on for months before the real trigger and emotional reaction is uncovered and it also deals with the mind on a conscious level. When dealing with the mind on a conscious level, patients often become very censored for fear they are being judged by the counselor. While under hypnosis they subconscious mind takes over allowing for completely candid thoughts.

You have taken the first step in your treatment, whatever it may be. You have acknowledged that you have issues with low self esteem and want to do something about it. You no longer want to go on feeling the way you do.

The choice is yours, will you choose a treatment that could take months and months, will you choose a short term chemical fix or will you choose to open you mind and discovery why you feel the way you do, the choice is simple.
