Trouble with hypnosis

Postby toranobutsu » April 2nd, 2007, 12:33 am

Hi there everybody. I've been lurking for the most part for the past week or so since I joined, downloaded some files on the ipod and listened to them whenever I got the chance. I've seen hypnotists before and I've tried self hypnosis through cds before, But I find it nearly impossible to actually fall into a trance and have any suggestions actually make any affect on me. My question is, Why are some people like this way and is there anything else I should be doing other that keep listening and using alot of induction improvement files? Thanks in advance for any feedback.

Welcome to WarpMyMind.

You asked: why some people find it difficult to have hypnotic suggestions affect them, and, whether there is anything you can do to improve your success with hypnosis. No one can tell you what's right for you. But I'm glad to tell you what's worked for me.

If I could go back in time and give myself advice (as someone new to hypnosis)...

    - Start by just going into trance and then waking. Down, then back up - nothing more than an induction & wakener. All future success depends on mastering the skill of reliably going into trance.

    - As a next step, work with simple suggestions. Being successful in a small way gives the confidence & patience needed before tackling a major change.

    - Finally, work with only one type change at a time. If you've got 5 different recordings that all concentrate on quitting smoking, that's great! Allow yourself plenty of time - maybe 3 weeks of regular listening. Be finished with this change before you attempt a change in some other area - EMG's Iron Shackle recordings, for example. :P
Again, welcome to WarpMyMind. When you find a method that works for you, please come back to this posting and let everyone know, okay?
