Use Self-Hypnosis To Achieve Your Goals

If you're interested in creating change in your life, self-hypnosis is a self-help tool that can help you create change. And it's a tool that anyone can learn to use. In fact, you can put yourself into hypnosis without a hypnotist. And self-hypnosis can be used in any situation where you need to change your physical, mental or emotional state.

What is Self-Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is a process that increases communication between your mind and body. In hypnosis your mind goes into a trance—a daydream-like state. You become more focused and open to suggestion. There is no truth to the popular myth that hypnosis causes you to lose control. In fact, the opposite is true. Hypnosis can help you gain control over a specific condition. You can do hypnosis by yourself or with the help of books, videos, audiotapes or a trained therapist. But hypnosis cannot be done without your cooperation. Thus, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Have you ever caught yourself daydreaming and not been aware of things happening around you? Have you ever been so absorbed in a book or watching a movie that you haven't realized an hour or two has gone by? What about driving in your car and at the end of your journey not remembering a thing about the details of your journey? These are all forms of hypnotic trance. The main difference between these types of trance and purposeful self-hypnosis is the lack of specific motivations and suggestions towards a goal. Hypnosis channels the trance to achieve some desired result like pain or stress-relief.

People in a hypnotic state appear to be asleep, but their brain wave patterns show alert wakefulness. You are physiologically deeply relaxed but your unconscious mind is absorbing the images and instructions the hypnotist is giving it.

When a person such as a therapist induces hypnosis in another it is called hetero hypnosis, often referred to as hypnotherapy. When hypnosis is self-induced it is called autohypnosis and is often referred to as self-hypnosis.

How can self-hypnosis help me?

If you want to improve something about yourself then self-hypnosis is definitely for you!  It can help you during those times in your life when you need to be able to calm and focus yourself in order to deal with a particular situation.

If you’re looking for a tool that can help you succeed at work, at a sport, academically, or in your search for self-improvement, then self-hypnosis is the answer. You can use it as an effective way of changing those deeply ingrained, unwanted thoughts and habits that are formed during the course of your life.

Learning self-hypnosis can also help you:

Quit smoking
Lose weight
Control your anger
Reduce stress
Combat depression and anxiety
Change aspects of your personality
Gain more confidence

There’s virtually no limit to what you can accomplish through self hypnosis techniques. You can use it to finally make those changes you’ve been dreaming of.

Finally, when you decide to learn hypnosis, keep in mind that it may take time. Be patient and don’t expect it to work immediately. It often takes many repeated sessions before self hypnosis techniques begin producing results. However, as you practice more and master your own mind, it will become much easier to get into a hypnotic state and make changes to your subconscious mind.
