Color Psychology - How the Psychology of Colors Can Explode Your Income!

It's fascinating how color psychology can influence anyone's actions and behavior. In this article, you'll discover some amazing ways to persuade people and skyrocket your profits using the power of color psychology.

If you want your product to represent power and authority, use black in your graphics and promotions. It is also a color of elegance and class, so this is also an ideal color to use if you're selling high-priced quality materials. However, black may also represent evil or mystery, so be wary when using this color.

White symbolizes innocence and cleanliness. Medical people wear white to signify sterility. White is a neutral color that blends easily with any other color, but it is bland if used more than necessary. Use "white" if you want your products to represent neatness or purity.

Red arouses strong emotions and excitement. It grabs attention, that's why most marketers who know color psychology use red in their headlines. Red is an extreme color that evokes passion, love and bravery. Red stimulates appetite, so it's a good color theme if you have a food or restaurant business. If you want your prospects to feel excited about your product, especially if your product is related to love and romance, use red.

Studies in color psychology indicate that blue is one of the most well-liked colors, especially among men. It symbolizes peace, calmness, relaxation, and security. Despite being a favorite color by many, this color can make you "blue" or gloomy. Blue symbolizes loyalty, so wearing blue attire when going for a job interview or getting clients may actually help. Blue can ruin your appetite; so if you own a restaurant, never paint the walls blue nor serve food in blue plates!

Purple symbolizes luxury, wealth, and elegance. It also represents wisdom and mystery. If you have a product that exudes any of these qualities, purple might be a good color choice for you. The only downside is that purple may be perceived as artificial.

Can Someone Be Hypnotized When They Are Awake?

Waking hypnosis is a term used to describe a scenario where the subject is so engrossed in a moment that the external stimulus has little impact on him/her.

For instance, sometimes when you are reading an interesting novel or watching a movie you don't hear your mom or spouse calling you because your mental faculties are absorbed in one place and you are almost in a different world altogether.

Another good example of waking hypnosis would be when you are surrounded by a group of friends chatting about different topics and you are mentally rehearsing an event that happened yesterday. Many-a-times you will find that one of your friends recognizes instantly that you are not listening to the conversation he might even shake you to get you out of that state.

The next time whenever you are in a group observe the eye movements of the people casually; especially the ones that are not talking you'll find that their eyes will stop moving and their focus will be set on one object. They will get out of the trance when someone touches them or the group bursts in to a laughter.

When people go in to a trance they become highly suggestible because the suggestions given to them go straight to their sub-conscious minds. No wonder why movies are so influential in changing behaviors.

Therefore what exactly happens in a hypnosis session? How does the hypnotist manages to make the subject comply to his suggestions. Hypnosis has lot to with authority and rapport. When someone is under hypnosis he believes that the hypnotist is the director of the mental movie so his instructions are accepted without much resistance. The rapport established between the hypnotist and the subject also plays an important role to get the subject to play along with the suggestions of the hypnotist.

If hypnosis requires a controlled environment like this how can we use it everyday to our benefit? The answer is, we can't implement hypnosis as such in our daily life however we can use the rapport building techniques and NLP to influence others. Black ops hypnosis is one such tool to achieve this. Black ops hypnosis can be used to achieve popularity among your peers, to build instant rapport with someone or to get a person to accept you as an authority figure.

Some people view black ops hypnosis is a dangerous tool in the wrong hands but think about this: Nuclear power can be used to produce atom bombs but it can also be used to produce electricity for millions of households.

Who's In Control?

The one thing that there is a lot of controversy about is whether or not a hypnotist can control someone and make them do something against their will. To start off with, you will not do anything that is against your moral code. If you're a mugger and a hypnotist tells you to rob the next person you see then you probably would do - because you'd do it anyway. If, however, you believe that stealing is wrong then you wouldn't rob the person because you'd feel subconsciously uncomfortable about it.

Of course there are ways of making the action seem more reasonable to the person so that it does fit in with their moral code - but it doesn't need a hypnotist to do that. A lot of wars have been fought over thousands of years because people are persuaded that a particular course of action is the right way to behave. People want to believe what makes them feel comfortable, loved or important and if someone helps them to feel like that then they may start to take on other people's beliefs without questioning them.

That may sound scary to some people. It may even put them off coming to see me or any other hypnotist. After all, if I can start to change someone's beliefs then doesn't that make me in control? Not at all. Everyone that comes in to see me is there of their own free will. If they say they have only come along because someone else has been nagging them then I will question them really carefully to make sure that they have some desire to change. I will actively try and discourage them from going through with the session because if they have no real desire to change then we're unlikely to get a significant difference. After all, how often do you willingly do something that you don't want to do just because someone else has told you to?

So, everyone is there because they have chosen to be and they're there because they're not happy with something in their life and want to change it. But, there's also something that's stopping them making that change - otherwise they wouldn't have come to see me in the first place. Now the person is in two minds. "One part of me wants to be a non smoker, lose weight, be more confident, get rid of my phobia... but there's another part that likes smoking, needs to eat and hates exercise, is scared to be confident and terrified that if I get rid of my phobia I'm going to have to get on a plane, be in the same room as a spider or go to the dentist!"

It's my job to make the desired state of mind more desirable, to make it a stronger feeling, something that the person really wants and to help them to leave their old state of mind behind, to make those old feelings weaker and irrelevant. Hypnosis is a great way of doing that because it allows people to make leaps of imagination and get into their subconscious mind that is holding them back. The subconscious is very literal and likes structure. It takes control of repetitive behaviour and creates habits for you - some of them make your life easier, like walking, remembering your way home or how to eat. Unfortunately, it also creates bad habits which, because you've already started doing the behaviour before you're aware of it, can be difficult to break if you're trying to break them consciously.

Often the subconscious hangs on to old, out of date information because you've never experienced any alternative reactions. So, for example, smoking was important when you were a teenager because all your mates did it and it meant you fitted in with them, now it's just a habit that you don't like. Balloons popping unexpectedly at a party when you were a child was frightening so your mind makes sure you don't go near them again because you don't want to be frightened like that again. Because you don't go anywhere near them your only concept of balloons is of that they're frightening. By going into these memories and experiencing them in a different way you can break that habitual response and give your mind a new, more desirable action that you can access in future.

So, rather than the hypnotist taking control, it's now you who are taking back control over the things that annoy you, frighten you, hold you back or make you behave or feel differently to the way you would like to.

Benefits of Conversational Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help people overcome their shortcomings. Hypnosis can unravel the guards that have been set by the conscious mind and delve into the subconscious mind. Conversational hypnosis is quite an effective method to help people overcome their qualms or help the person see your point of view.

What is conversational hypnosis? First let us understand the principles of hypnosis. Hypnosis is nothing but an induced state of relaxation. In this state the subject is relaxed and hence does not have any perceptions or guards. In this deep state of meditation, the subject is made to overcome all the inhibitions and hence can work out the solution.

Conversational hypnosis is nothing but practical hypnosis. This is a hypnosis technique based on establishing rapport with the subject and confusing and then offering a suggestion to the subject which you would like the subject to follow.

What are the benefits of conversational hypnosis?

1. It can be used to boost sales: Have you ever encountered a sales man who just seems to know what you are thinking and convinces you to buy his product? Well, most of these people use conversational hypnosis. They build a rapport with you, empathize with you and become your friends. Once they do that, then they offer you various choices and that leaves you confused. Then you ask them about their suggestion since they are your friends and that's where they go in for the kill!

2. It can be used in relationships: Very often we are not able to make relatives and friends understand our point of view. Thus it can help to foster bonds and make relationships stronger. It can also help people to come around to your way of thinking

3. Helping people to understand what they really want: sometimes we all get confused about what we really want and insist on following the herd mentality. Here conversational hypnosis can help people to understand their priorities and set their goals right

4. Managing teenage behavior: Teenagers can be quite difficult to handle. Conversational hypnotherapy can help conquer their rebellious attitude and help them understand what they want. Teenagers can sometimes follow the wrong path just to defy others. Here conversational hypnotherapy can help them to sort out their thinking

What are the disadvantages of conversational hypnotherapy?

Like everything else, there are two sides to the story. Conversational hypnotherapy can be used to influence people towards wrong ideas and wrong paths as well. People can use conversational hypnotherapy to induce people to follow wrong ideas like terrorism and fundamentalism. In fact, this therapy is used by terrorist outfits around the world.

Conversational hypnotherapy is a powerful tool in the hands of people who know it. It can greatly influence a person's way of thinking and interacting with people. If you know conversational hypnotherapy, it can give you power to change your relationships and also help you to foster new bonds.

There are many benefits of knowing how to use conversational hypnosis. If you click these links you can learn about my experience with conversational hypnosis, and about one of its masters Igor Ledochowski

Use Hypnosis to Change Your Life and to Achieve your Goals

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 reprogramming 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.

Hypnosis can change your life for the better. You can eliminate challenges, and achieve any goals you set. Want to know more about the power of hypnosis and self-hypnosis? Visit Discover Hypnosis Now at http://discoverhypnosisnow.com/

How To Use Mind Control To Make Your Dreams Reality

Imagine knowing how to send people secret messages which must be obeyed, the ability to persuade and influence people to do anything you desire? No this is not science fiction and it isn't conspiracy theory. This technology is commonly known as "Silent Sound" and was reportedly used during the Persian Gulf War by the United States on Iraqi troops. During the war the Iraq Military Command and Control System was destroyed and Iraqi troops were forced to use commercial radio frequencies. These channels were hijacked by the US Psyops team and vague, confusing and contradictory military orders were broadcast to the Iraqi troops. Captured Iraqi soldiers reported feeling entirely demoralized and overcome with fear and hopelessness as a result of listening to the broadcasts.

Silent sound involves recording spoken commands, filtering and changing their frequency using Frequency Modulation and adjusting them so they are outside of the normal auditory spectrum. Although we can't physically hear what is being said our brain receives and understands every word. These commands can be hidden on audio Cd's and MP3 files, played to you whilst you are browsing websites, sent to you whilst you watch the television or listen to the radio and you are completely unaware of the fact that you are being brainwashed!

This technology does not have to be used in such a negative way however, I used it with great success to overcome a 25 year chronic addiction to alcohol. I never imagined I would be able to beat alcoholism until I discovered Binaural Beats ."Binaural beats are auditory brainstem responses which originate in the superior olivary nucleus of each hemisphere. They result from the interaction of two different auditory impulses, originating in opposite ears, below 1000 Hz and which differ in frequency between one and 30 Hz" (Oster, 1973)

Oster observed that when two sound frequencies are sent to the brain individually via each ear (for example, through stereo headphones), the two hemispheres of the brain work together to create a third phantom signal. This signal is referred to as a "binaural beat" and it pulses at the exact numerical difference between the two tones. For example, if a signal of 200 CPS (Cycles Per Second) is introduced to the left ear and a 210 CPS signal to the right,CPS a binaural beat of 10CPS (or Hertz) is created. Research has shown that first small areas of the brain and, gradually large areas of the brain start to resonate sympathetically with the "phantom" binaural beat. This is due to what is termed as the "Frequency Following Response". Further research has proven that binaural beat frequencies can influence the brain to enter specific brain states. This happens effortlessly as your brain activity aligns itself with the frequency of the binaural beat.

In layman's terms it means you can create tones to create a desired brainwave state. For example, meditation, deep sleep, lucid dreaming, astral projection, creativity increase, stress reduction, relaxation, super learning, intuition etc.

Combine binaural beats with Silent sound and you have an extremely powerful tool which can yield outstanding results. I was a chronic alcoholic for over 25 years and when I stopped drinking I used binaural beats associated with alcohol addiction and added my own positive affirmations which I then encoded with Silent Sound. I would listen to the track for twenty minutes each day and after a week had passed I no longer had a craving for alcohol. I've been off alcohol for 2 years now, have never had a relapse and I can say with confidence that I will never drink again.

There is always alcohol around me and it doesn't bother me at all, that to me provides undeniable proof that this technology works. How many people who have given up drinking can say that they have never had a relapse? I did not need anything apart from binaural beats and Silent Sound, I did not need willpower either, it really was easy! I believe that the semantic connection I had within my brain associated with alcoholism was completely removed, it was as if I had never been addicted in the first place.

I discovered that by combining Silent sound with binaural beats I could easily reprogram my mind in any way I chose. It was possible to increase my motivation and creativity, reach blissful states of meditation and also remove depression and stress. This technology has completely transformed my life. I do not use this technology on other people however, as I believe that to do so would be morally wrong, but its possible applications fascinate me nonetheless.

Imagine if you wanted to influence other people and make them do whatever you wanted them to. All you would need to do would be to create a digital recording of verbal commands, encode them with Silent Sound technology and then play the recordings to your target. It would be easy to implement the commands on a website and to broadcast the commands to an unsuspecting public. You would be able to entice people to buy your products and they would be completely unaware of the fact that you were influencing them.

If you are interested in this technology and would like to learn how to use it ethically then I recommend that you visit binauralsound.com Please ensure that you turn off all sound before visiting the website otherwise you will become a victim of mind control and will be possessed with an insatiable desire to purchase the products you see there. (only kidding!)

Hypnotic Secrets

Hypnosis is about getting the mind so relaxed that it is more receptive to commands. Hypnosis has been around since 4 B.C and has been extremely controversial subject ever since. In this article, I am going to discuss hypnotic commands you can put in your copy. It's one thing to have an effective sales letter that flows logically, knocks down objection, and ask for the sale. But it's more powerful to interject hypnotic elements that intensify the desire you want your customer to feel.

Putting hypnotic command in your copy can put you head and shoulders above your competition who are clueless about these secret tactics. Now obviously you don't want to put your readers to sleep. Not by a long short. What am talking about is placing hypnotic elements in the copy that makes the writing irresistible which increase the chance customer will act based on what they've read.

Have you ever read a story and felt time pass you by quickly? You're so enthralled in the text that you look at the clock and realize that two hours went by but it seem like two minutes? During that time, someone might have tried to say something to you, but they didn't get your attention because you were entranced in the text. Face it, you were hypnotized. And that's what I want your customers to feel when they read your copy!

A Warning Before You Use Hypnotic Command:

Before you implement these hypnotic secrets into your copy am about to reveal make sure they must be used ethically because the elements are so powerful. If you're selling something that is of worthwhile value to someone, then hypnotic commands can help "edge" the customer towards making a sale. However, if you are relying on these hypnotic command to "fool" the customer into buying a scam product, then you shouldn't be in this business.

Remember, you're not using hypnotic elements to manipulate people. You cannot convince people to do something that they don't have latent desire to do. You're using hypnotic elements to make your copy more persuasive and irresistible.

Hypnotic Stories

People love stories, I'm sure when you were a child, you had your parents read the same children's book over and over again. A good story will keep hold people's attention. That's why you need to have a good story in your copy.

When writing your sales letter, think of how you can tell a captivating story that indirectly shows the customer that what you're selling will solve their problem or fulfill a desire. You'll be able to escape people's "mental radar" and emphasize your selling points without appearing too salesy.

Another important thing you need to remember, always make sure you insert quotes into your story. A line with quotes inserted makes the story come alive. That's why having quotes around a headline increase respond because it gives the reader a sense that the letter is speaking directly out loud to them. These quotes will also attract reader's eyes as they scan down the page.

Hypnotic Embedded Commands

Now I am going to discuss using direct commands that also evade people's mental radars. Take these two example. Which statement get your guard up if you were to read them in a sales letter?

Read every word of this article

or the following story ...

As you read every word of this article, you'll discover the secret of Alvin Phang and how you can harness them to make your blog a money maker.

Obviously, if you read the first sentence , you resistance will go up because you feel that the reader did not formed a good rapport with you. In fact, you might feel the author was trying to force you to read.

Whereas if the command was hidden in an innocent sentence, you will feel a friendly tone that the reader was talking to you and your your guard would be down and you'd be more than likely to take action on that command.

In writing, italicizing or putting the command in bold would delineate the command. It makes your prospect see the bold face part as a command, since it is embedded in the context of a friendly sentence, it will slip through someone's mental radar and into their unconscious.

You see, it's all about escaping the left side (the logical, critical side) of the brain. They don't know that they are being given a command. With that you can gain compliance effortlessly, without sounding like you're trying to pressure people.

Embedded command can be inserted anywhere in the copy. I like to embed a call to action command like: "Buy It Now" or "Take Action Today" when I close a letter. These words by themselves would agitate the left side of the brain that will raises skepticism. But in the context of a sentence, it evades the critical side of the brain and commands the prospect without their knowing.

Hypnotic Presupposition

The brain can usually focus on one thing at a time. That means it is literally to presupposed (assume) and accept suggestion as facts. That's why putting presuppositions in your copy is so powerful. Below is an example of a presupposition:

"What will you do with the extra $500, $5000 even $10000 per month you'll earn when you implement Alvin Pahng's Atomic Blogging into Your online business?"

Since you are asking the prospect question, they are forced to answer it in their mind. And in order to answer the question the prospect has to assume they already have the money. Therefore, the sentence does two things:

Assume that they have the money thanks to Alvin Phang's Atomic Blogging, thus heightening desire for the product.
Makes their mind imagine the benefits they'll get when they're assuming they already have.

The second point is extremely important. By telling a prospect to imagine what their life would be like with the money, you are actually printing a picture in their minds. This is much powerful than giving suggestion as to what they can do with the money.

Every prospect has different needs and desire that can be triggered by a presupposition. You'll be able to tailor your copy based on their individual needs. I hope hypnotic writing is beneficial for you. There is absolutely nothing sneaky about this as long as you're selling a product that is genuinely going to help people.

Learning how to hypnotize free may have arisen out of curiosity but as you go you will discover how hypnosis can be employed to make positive changes to your life.

At the outset there are a couple of critical things you must keep in mind when trying to learn how to hypnotize free. The first one is the authenticity of the available free information. Make sure that the information you are downloading is from a reputable source. Make it a point to check whether the hypnotherapist has sufficient clinical experience and hat the instructions are safe to use either on self or someone else. Safer programs are those which place emphasis on how post-hypnotic suggestions can be given to your unconscious mind.

The second important point to note is if you want to learn how to hypnotize free, you should refrain from experimenting with your "knowledge" on someone else, at least initially. Although it is not that persons in trances will not come out of it, you may run the risk of hurting that person by the time you call help.

Although there are quite a few ways to learn how to hypnotize others free, shed the notion that free information can be any specific on how to hypnotize, say, to lose weight for free.

A good course on hypnosis, whether free or not, provides insight into how to hypnotize patients and into being open to your suggestions. My suggestion would be to collect deeper information about hypnotic scripts before you get started which pays off in terms of rich returns from the producers' experience.

If you anytime felt as being under trance when speaking to someone with undivided attention, probably you might have hypnotized yourself without realizing it and you have learned how to hypnotize free.

Third Eye Hypnosis

The Mind's Eye. The Inner Eye. If you've heard these two phrases before then most likely you've heard of the Third Eye. It is believed that everyone has three eyes: two are physical (they're plain as the eyes can see); the third eye is spiritual; and when opened either through meditation or third eye hypnosis, you unlock the door to numerous possibilities of looking in to the future.

Chances are you've had a few intuitive moments before in your past: you've thought of a friend you haven't talked with in awhile, and the next day she called. You've thought of an episode from one of your favorite television shows and the following night it was on TV. This is more than a mere coincidence. This is you glimpsing at your psychic self. When you open your third eye, you open yourself up to even more psychic abilities because the eye is the site where we receive psychic impressions.

The Third Eye is associated with the pineal gland in the brain. The pineal gland is dormant in most people. French philosopher Rene Descartes believed the pineal gland to be "the seat of the soul" where mind and body intersect. In most, the pineal gland is dormant. When you meditate or use third eye hypnosis to open the eye, you bring that gland to life. You literally open your eye up to a whole other spiritual world.

Once you've opened your third eye, you may develop certain new abilities: telepathy, telekinesis, clairvoyance. You may see auras, chakras, or spirit beings. You may also experience precognition, which is the ability to see into the future. There's a whole new spiritual world at your fingertips.

So see what the world holds for you (and others); open your third eye through meditation or third eye hypnosis.

Hypnosis for Panic Attacks

Has this ever been you: You're driving to work. You left at a decent time to avoid the early morning traffic (or so you thought), but you're merging onto the interstate and you notice cars lined up as far as the eyes could see. You enter the right line of traffic and noticed cars are at a complete stand still. No one is moving. This can't be. You have a big presentation to make. You have to get to work on time. Your chest begins to tighten because you have this fear that you're not going to make it or you may even get fired. You can't breathe. It feels as if you are having a heart attack. It feels as if your car is closing in around you. You can't breathe. You're going to suffocate. Your chest hurts. If you can relate, you've suffered from a panic attack; and though, many people will have one or two panic attacks in their lifetimes, but if you are one who has attacks frequently, it could mean you have a disorder. There is hope, though, with hypnosis for panic attacks. Your world won't feel like it's ending anymore.

Panic attacks were once dismissed as just stress induced or nerves that were acting up, but they are now looked at as a real medical condition, and without proper treatment, they can take over your life. Panic attacks can make your heart pound and make you feel you are short of breath or dizzy. You may feel nauseous or flushed. Symptoms closely associated with panic attacks include, but are not limited to: accelerated heart rate, sweating, trembling, shortness of breath, hyperventilation, chills, hot flashes, nausea, cramping, chest pain, headache, dizziness, faintness, trouble swallowing, and a sense of impending death. Panic attacks are very serious, and they begin suddenly, without warning. They may peak after 10 minutes or may last an entire hour.

But there is hope when you seek hypnosis for panic attacks as part of your treatment. Through hypnosis, you can change thinking patterns that trigger your fears and attacks. The power of suggestion will help you change how you react to anxious or fearful situations. You will be able to control your fears.

Panic attacks are hard to manage on your own, and may get worse without proper treatment. By undergoing hypnosis for panic attacks you are taking hold of your life one day, and breath, at a time.

Does Hypnosis Work?

The question is often asked- Does hypnosis work? Before that can be determined, hypnosis must be understood. Hypnosis is a practice that takes a person out of their conscious mind and moves them into their subconscious mind. Hypnosis works, "by bringing a subject into a peculiar state of consciousness with reduced peripheral awareness accompanied by strictly focused attention."

The word hypnosis was coined by James Braid and means "nervous sleep." However it must be noted that hypnosis is not really sleep at all. What separates the two are alpha brain waves. These brain waves are very high during hypnosis but are extremely low during sleep. In the same way, a person who is asleep cannot hear, until they begin to awake whereas a person undergoing hypnosis is able to hear very well.

Hypnosis differs from sleep, and it also differs from relaxation and mediation. Meditation has an inner focus whereas hypnosis is geared at the subject focusing on something outside of himself. Hypnosis is a very real practice that is used to help people combat any number of problems including obesity, depression, phobias, and nicotine addiction.

Other problems it has been known to help include stomach disorders, skin conditions, recovery from surgery, childbirth, nausea, impotence and migraine headaches. Delving into the subconscious mind helps peel back the layers to get to the root of many problems. Once that is uncovered, a solution for the problem can then be found.

How does hypnosis work? The subject is awake but is placed into a daydreamlike state and is sitting in a comfortable position. The patient's mind becomes approximately 10 times as concentrated and focused as it would be in a conscious state. At the same time, the body becomes 10 times as calm and relaxed. The two elements need to come together to allow the patient to be in their subconscious mind.

Does hypnosis work? According to the American Psychiatric Association and the American Psychological Association the answer to this is a resounding yes. Both associations have seen a number of cases where hypnosis has helped patients to recover from a number of physical and mental problems. The National Institute of Health points to the fact that pregnant women who have been hypnotized or who have learned to hypnotize themselves have less painful deliveries and tend to be in labor for shorter periods of time than do other women.

Hypnosis is not a formula for success for everyone as some people are believed to be able to be hypnotized easier than others. However for those searching for a way to rid them of a bad habit or get rid of a phobia, it is certainly a safe and reasonable method of treatment to try.

Hypno Feminization - 3 Things To Watch Out For

Hypno feminization is becoming more and more popular as men of all sorts use this as a non obtrusive way to connect to the more feminine side even as a temporary measure of self expression and fulfillment. There are a number of excellent sources of feminization hypnosis online (links at the end of the article), but before you decide to undergo self hypno feminization there are a number of things you should consider...

1. Do what you want - Often, people who undergo hypnotic feminisation do so at the request or cajoling of others, a partner or friend. While it is important to keep an open mind, remember that this is a personal decision you need to be sure of. Don't let anyone else make this decision for you. Do this only if you want to.

2. Decide what kind of Feminisation you want - Hypno feminization can take many forms and have a variety of effects, from just mental influences to physical appearance, walk, tone of voice, and posture. You need to decide what you want and so arrange your feminization session. Of course, the effects are as temporary as you wish them to be, but it's best if you figured out what you wanted before hand.

3. Who to tell - Feminizing yourself is a private affair, but you can choose with whom you wish to share this. Just make sure it's people you can trust completely. If you wish to keep this private then do so. It's entirely within your right.

Make sure to enjoy yourself above all.

Hypnosis and Pain Relief

Pain and Hypnosis go together in many ways it's no longer a mystery to people or even in the Medical field. Long time ago hypnosis was look upon as some mysterious mind control technique now this is nonsense. Hypnosis is a natural state of mind that we experience all of us no matter what age, gender, creed or race.

Advertisement use hypnosis writings, Television commercials, Radio and music uses audio version of hypnosis. No matter where we are hypnosis is all around us.

Pain is in everyone's life one time or another and it's control with medication but, did you ever think of Hypnosis as part of the treatment process. It's not a cure it actually manages the pain to a level you can handle and go on with your everyday life and feel almost normal. Whether it's Fibromylgia. Arthritis, Rheumatism, Cancer, or just a backache hypnosis does wonderful things for the body and the mind.

It's truly up to you and how you attempt in your mind to let it happen, it's easy and it's amazing to see people who are hunched over from pain, people with cancer and even injury or soreness. I see clients weekly that are amazed how quickly and effective Hypnosis is with pain. No drugs just the mind to want to enhance your life and be pain free.

When doing Pain Hypnosis be sure to consult a physician for approval. Also be aware that the pain can be reduce to a state that can be beneficial for you to handle it. Also go to a certified hypnotherapist that deals with this sort of hypnosis. Never let hypnosis try to be the cure or the replacement for the doctor because it's not. It's a method to reduce, enhance and better your lifestyle.

Pain is something that is cause by a situation, an injury or illness, it also can be mental. This is why going to a hypnotherapist that understands you and the pain the results can be wonderful and lead you down the path of a happier well adjusted life being pain free.

Remember you got to want to see and feel results. Don't go because of someone else or because it's what people tell you. Have a open mind and just follow the instructions and you'll see results. Be honest with yourself and the Hypnotherapist and great things can happen your way.

Instant Hypnosis to Amaze Anyone You Meet!

The Power of Chevreul's Hypnotic-Pendulum

History... In the 1800's, tales of spiritualist phenomenon were on the increase. Many of the weird and wonderful characters that are often thought of today as charlatans, were plying their trade in the middle and upper classes of western Europe and America. They frequently demonstrated tables flying around the room with people barely touching them, spirits making contact through pendulums, and ouiji boards revealing insights from the great beyond. Not only were they making a good living from their arts and capturing public attention, they were also producing phenomenon that was catching the attention of the scientific community.

One man who was keeping a keen eye on the paranormal goings on was Michel- Eugene Chevreul, a highly thought of French chemist. Chevreul was a man who believed highly in the laws of science, and whose scientific skills were more than up to the task of making scientific breakthroughs and accurate observations. In fact Chevreul was so highly thought of that on his 100th birthday in 1886 a gold medal was minted for the occasion, which was celebrated as a national event in France. He was honoured with a public funeral and commemorative statue at his death in 1889, at the age of 102. Now as a nationally acclaimed scientist in France, Chevreul was an empassioned enemy of charlatarian phenomonem. He was not only Sceptical, but determined to prove them wrong. He couldn't.

After undertaking many studies into many of the phenomonem, Chevreul found out the many of the phenomenom were real. However the cause of the phenomenom turned out to prove far more interesting than even the spiritualists had been claiming! What Chevreul found was that the movement was caused not by spirits and paranormal phenomenom, but involuntary muscle movements that were outside of the persons conscious awareness. This internally constructed phenomenom became known as ideomotor movements. The person was making the movements themselves but was not aware of it, and neither were others watching. The persons unconscious was taking responsible for the movements.

What does all this mean?

This meant that it was possible to communicate with the unconscious mind. The unconscious mind being the area of the mind that controls everything outside of our awareness, our blood pressure, the release of hormones, the area that regulates our mood, our temperature and many other thousands of processes. However, it also provided an explanation for many of the paranormal phenomenon being branded around by the spiritualists. Automatic handwriting, mind-reading (muscle reading), table turning, dowsing, and the paranormal pendulum! So when people were holding onto a glass on a ouiji board they were claiming spirits were moving the glass, and they had no control of it, whilst the scientific community were arguing that at least one of them was in fact moving the glass, and were defrauding the others. They were both right. As the scientists claimed the subjects were moving the glass, but as the spiritualists claimed they really didn't have any awareness that they were moving it!

So we now have a phenomenon that's not controlled by outside forces, but by internal ones. We have a phenomenon that can demonstrate to others the power of our unconscious mind, to make movements without making movements, to make decisions without having to make decisions. Our unconscious, the area that has far more control over our body's internal processes, the area that has far more information surrounding our lives than just our conscious awareness does, was now communicating with us.

How to use it...

Hold a pendulum in your dominant (writing) hand. And make it fall still so it is hanging straight down. Then without moving your hand just begin to think 'Left....Right...Left....Right' in your mind over and over. Will the pendulum to move left and right, in time with how it should move to the left, and then back to the right. Just hear the words 'Left....Right...Left....Right', in your head, even say them out loud to yourself. Visualize the pendulum moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right', see it in your mind moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right', and without moving your arm feel the momentum of the pendulum moving 'Left....Right...Left....Right' over and over. When the pendulum moves to left in your mind, feel, hear, and see it moving left, as it swings back to the right, feel, hear, and see it moving to the right. But don't consciously move your arm. Focus solely on the pendulum moving, beginning to swing to across a left and right axis in front of you. It may help to be in a place where there is no distractions, and you can focus on nothing but that pendulum there moving.

Once you have mastered this, Then change direction. Stop the pendulum and repeat the process, but this time feel the pendulum moving back and forth, back and forth. Then maybe moving round and round, round and round. Feel how powerful a movement you can get without moving your arm, just by thinking, by willing that pendulum to move. Now if you want to have a more clear signal of the movements you can add a signal board (see below) which will give you a clear guideline of how your pendulum is moving. Just hold the pendulum over the board and will it along the axis.

You now have the perfect tool to help you connect with your unconscious mind, and to help friends connect with theirs. If you want to demonstrate the power of the mind to friends this is it! Just get them to repeat the same process you've gone through.

How to make your own...

- The pendulum: A pendulum consists of a long piece of material that has movement to it, with a weight at the end. This can be a traditional crystal pendant available from alternative health shops. Or, as I use, it can be a necklace or chain that you wear around your neck, with a ring threaded on to create the weight. You can make your own with string and a plumbing washer, or any other method you can think of. I personally like to use my chain as I always have it with me, and can use it anytime, anywhere to provide hypnotic demonstrations to people. You can buy necklaces and pendants to wear that work perfectly as a hypnotic pendulum. There are no real rules for the pendulum, except does it swing? If it does it will probably work. So use things like a small pocket watch, or whistle on a string if that's all you have available.

- The Signal Board: The signal board can be created in many ways, with the different possible answers written on it. Here's an example: Just draw a cross as above (the circle is optional) and choose two opposing suggestions, one written on both ends of the vertical axis, and one written on both ends of the horizontal axis. Above you can see the suggestion for the pendulum to move left and right written on the horizontal axis, and the suggestion to move up and down written on the vertical axis. You can substitute these suggestions with your own, but these are the basic, and arguably most effective suggestions, as they are very clear for your unconscious to provide movements for.

A Stage further...

Now, our unconscious minds are an infinitely powerful resource. Our unconscious minds have access to far more information than we do, which is limited by the span of our attention. Our unconscious mind is also there to protect us. For example when a fly comes near our eye, automatically we blink (automatic movement, ring any bells?) to protect ourselves. We do not consciously think 'Oh there's a fly coming towards our eye, should we move? Or maybe it will miss? Will it matter if does hit us in the eye? Is it definitely a fly? Ok I'll move, but in what direction?'.

If we consciously went through this process we would end up with a fly in the eye! Now because of this many people believe in trusting your intuition or gut instinct. This is really a metaphor for the tendencies we pick up off of our unconscious mind. So you can use the hypnotic pendulum to get more in touch with your unconscious or intuitive decision making capabilities. All you do is this: Hold a question in your mind. For example let's say you're not sure whether to buy a new Harmony CD. You hold the question in your mind... "Should I buy a new Harmony CD....Should I buy a new Harmony CD..." and repeat it over and over, over and over, and wait for your unconscious to give you an answer. In this case 'Yes' or 'no' on the signal board via your pendulum. The question can be anything, just change the answers on your signal board! This will give you an intuitive answer, which won't be burdened with conscious pressures. (Please read the warning below before putting this into practice!).

Warning!

The purpose of the Hypnotic Pendulum at this moment in time is to give you a tool by which you can demonstrate, to yourself and to others, some hypnotic phenomenon. It should not be made to make life altering decisions. Obviously this will be patently obvious to most of you! But feel free to use it to make decisions whereby there is no consequence in the decision. Use it for a bit fun and for training your mind to experience hypnotic phenomenon, which will put you more in touch with your unconscious mind. If you're at a party and want to demonstrate something interesting, pull out your Hypnotic-Pendulum! If you want to train you mind, then use it to make small insignificant decisions about things that really doesn't matter which decision you make. Do not use it to decide whether you should invest in the local snake oil salesman's inflatable dart board business!

Have fun!

Learn Hypnosis And Live Your Dream Life

Would you believe it's possible to live the life you've always dreamed about if you simply learn hypnosis strategies and use them each and every day?

Well, as far-fetched as it sounds, there are people who have done this and practice the techniques they learned every day with huge success. So who are these people and what do they do for a living?

It's pretty likely you already know some of them. Perhaps that friendly sales clerk who somehow convinced you to buy a higher-ticket item than you originally planned on getting used a few subtle hypnosis tactics. Or the car salesman that helped you see how you could afford the more expensive car without really feeling the pinch.

Good sales people use hypnotic tactics all the time. They have a way about them that gets you to open up to them and allow them to find the right buttons to push to get the results they want from you. But sales professionals aren't the only ones who do this.

Any time you get talked into something you planned not to do, chances are that some hypnosis techniques were used on you without your knowledge. You see, an average person who has learned how to do hypnosis can lead you to do things their way rather than your way. They do this with a technique called conversational hypnosis.

As the name suggests, this type of hypnosis uses conversational strategies to gain a person's trust and and then make suggestions to them. Because you have established rapport in a certain way with someone, they tend to be more open to taking your subtle suggestions and actually acting on them as if the idea were their own.

Those who are skilled at conversational hypnosis know how to get someone to want to do the things on their own and believe they came up with the idea themselves. The results are much more powerful this way than to tell someone to do something. You can avoid someone having a negative or stubborn reaction by using the technique properly.

Of course there are right ways and wrong ways to go about using conversational hypnosis. If fact, with certain mistakes you'll actually alienate people rather than draw them closer to you - which definitely qualifies as a backfire in your plans. The best and most affordable way to learn hypnosis strategies is to grab a copy of an online hypnosis training course and study it over. You'll find that there are some good quality ones available for instant download and learning.

Tired of everyone taking advantage of you? Conversational hypnosis techniques can help you get what you want out of life. Don't get left behind - learn hypnosis today.

The Power Of NLP And Hypnosis

Let me give you in-depth advice on how you can get momentum within yourself to crash through the barriers and hurdles that are stopping you from achieving and getting what you want from life. What ever the problem, come to the people who care.

Some people really find it tough and struggle with fears and phobias, whilst others with the same issues seem to go through the day with not a care in the world. Hypnotherapy NLP, and CBT offer an effective help in treating fears and phobias. These therapies will help you to relax mentally and physically and will train your mind to react more appropriately when feeling tense. Fears and phobias are learned responses that probably have built up over the years. A combination of Hypnosis, NLP and CBT can help you overcome and after treatment you will place less importance to these disturbing thoughts, becoming more relaxed and having less doubt and worry.

Shelia came to see me because she was afraid of flying. She had booked many flights in the past and always ended up canceling at the last minute. She felt by doing this she had let her family down her friends and herself. Despite talking to many people close to her, she was unable to make herself take a trip on a plane.

Peter was a businessman who came to see me some time ago. After gaining promotion, he was required to make regular plane journeys to Europe to attend meetings as part of his job.

Unfortunately he had never been on a plane in his life due to the fear of flying. As a result all family holidays had been in the form of car journeys or ferry journeys. Peter was extremely worried that his fear could cost him his promotion.

Caroline had a fear of needles. Every time she had to visit the doctor, even if it was something unrelated to needles she had a terrible fear that a needle would have to be used. Since she was a teenager she had fainted at the sight of a hypodermic or needle even before an injection had been given to her.

Mrs N. had a terrible fear of spiders. Although she held down a very important job where she was in charge of many people, the mere sight of a spider had her experiencing hot sweats, palpitations and the feeling of great fear.

Melanie visited us because she had a driving test coming up very shortly. Although a competent driver, in a test situation she became so nervous that she made many mistakes, and this had already cost her the failure of two tests, which her driving instructor could not understand.

Mark visited us for treatment for a very common fear - the one of dentists. Although in work and social situations he was an out-going, confident character, even the thought of visiting a dentist made him extremely nervous to the point where he was losing sleep in the days running up to an appointment.

Susan had a fear that any food she ate would be poisonous or do her harm. Unless she had prepared the food herself, she could not bring herself to eat it. This played havoc with her social life as she would not eat in restaurants or cafes, or even eat food prepared by friends or family. David experienced terrible panic attacks when in a crowded public place. He would suffer from palpitations, sweating and a terrible fear and a need to 'get out.' This obviously affected both his work and social life, as he suffered both in shops, busy towns etc, and also in enclosed offices and meeting rooms with other people.

Using NLP and hypnotherapy these issues were quickly and safely remedied.

Conversational Hypnosis - This Is How You Do It

Many people may recall a scene from Star Wars when one of them looks at one of the guards and is able to make him believe that the wanted people that were there were not the ones he is seeking, that is what is known as conversational hypnosis and wouldn't you love to have it?

Ok, so maybe it is not quite that simple, but the principles of conversational hypnosis show it as a well thought out manipulations and different strategies that will hopefully bring people around to your way of thinking. When the principles of conversational hypnosis were first introduced by the great hypnotist Milton Erickson, he said that these trance like states were really not that rare and that possibly people end up in these "trances" many times during the day. It may be while waiting in traffic or even if deeply into a book they are reading. He also thought that if you were to overtly try to bring about this trance or give the subject any straight out directions and if the person was unwilling it normally leads to resistance. He preferred using his principles of rapport, indirect suggestions and confusion to produce the type of trance that he wanted in order to influence their thoughts.

The principles of conversational hypnosis begins with three stages; the first is developing a rapport with the subject. In other words by agreeing with everything they say you will be ensuring the subject is comfortable with you.

The second stage, while not exactly trickery, is to add a little confusion, nothing alarming or overly drastic, just enough to throw the subject a little off balance. When you do this it puts the person in a more vulnerable state, throwing them off guard. While in this state a person normally wants resolve from being confused and is open to solutions and suggestion to escape the feeling of confusion.

The third stage of the principles of conversational hypnosis has everything to do with timing. While the subject is still in a state of confusion they are also distracted. It is while they are in this state that your window of opportunity is waiting for you to plant your suggestion. Remember that conversational hypnosis is subtle. Conversational and covert hypnosis works, but not on everyone.

Of course as with anything else you are trying to learn and master the principles of conversational hypnosis takes patience and practice. When beginning it is a help if you are somewhat familiar with your subject so that you will know if you are reading them correctly.

Frequently Asked Questions & Misconceptions About Hypnosis

Hypnosis is a powerful self-help tool which you may have the wrong idea about. It seems that there are myths and misconceptions tied into the process which prevent people to receive and enjoy the many benefits Hypnosis offers.

The reality is that many of our challenges stem from the way we think and perceive ourselves to be. Unlike medication which only change the chemistry of the body and therefore the symptoms, hypnosis help you change the way you think and experience life.

In my office I find that the best course of treatment for many of the conditions I am called to address is to benefit from both. Hypnosis as such is a valuable complimentary to any medical treatment.

If you have thought about benefiting from hypnosis, please read ahead. My hope is that the information below will allow you to overcome any concern you may have, and realize that hypnosis is a safe, painless and drugless, noninvasive course of treatment.

What if I can't be hypnotized?

If you can daydream, visualize your favorite vacation place and imagine that you are there, you will benefit from hypnosis. Anyone of normal intelligent who is willing and capable of follow the hypnotist instructions can be hypnotized.

Can Self-Hypnosis make me do things I don't want to?

You are in control at all times, and in fact your mind will reject any suggestion that will not reflect your own desires to change. Hypnosis and self-hypnosis are not a form of magic but a ordinary phenomenon of the mind. It is a natural state of mind that occurs when the mind is focused while the body is relaxed.

Can I get "stuck" in hypnosis?

There is no such a thing as getting "stuck" in hypnosis, no more then you can get stuck in daydreaming or sleep. All it takes for you to emerge from hypnosis is your decision to do so. A common way to emerge from self-hypnosis is to simply count your way up to the number 5, noting to yourself that on the count of 5 you will be fully emerged... eyes open... feeling so good and so relaxed.... Remember, you are in full control.

How many times should I listen to the session?

We learn through repetition. Remember how you used to study hard for an exam at school? Of course you do. The same principle apply here too. The more you listen to the session the quicker you will experience change. Remember, it is your willingness, desire and open mind that will determine the success of the change.

Will I experience immediate results from my self-hypnosis session?

You can certainly expect to enjoy some immediate results and benefits from self-hypnosis. Some experience habit changes after just a few or even one session. However, hypnosis isn't magic, and it may take few sessions to create lasting change in your life. we must be realistic here and remember that we are changing habits which we developed over years. Be patient with yourself, and know that with commitment and repetition you will achieve your goals.

I am so relaxed and yet I can hear you, am I really hypnotized?

You are likely to hear and remember everything about your session and I want you to. Hypnosis is a state of concentration and focused attention, and as such, you will hear and be aware of words and suggestions. Your subconscious mind will continue to listen, it always does even in the profound state of relaxation that is experienced by hypnosis. Listen to excerpts of self-hypnosis sessions at www.MindBody101.com .

Conversational Hypnosis Decrypted

Despite hypnosis being a well known medium, very few people are used to indirect hypnosis. Conversational hypnosis -also known as indirect hypnosis- is a technique consisting of hypnotizing people through everyday conversations. You can access the subconscious of the people you regularly interact with using both verbal and nonverbal cues, body language, voice intonation and pitch changes.

This method is used in marketing and advertising on a regular basis. When you watch a commercial on television, you are registering, without even knowing it, subliminal messages that will, later down the track, influence your judgement as a buyer. The principle behind conversational hypnosis is similar.

By becoming familiar with conversational hypnosis, you are giving yourself the tools to achieve many of your objectives. You can use your newfound knowledge to influence people around you and become more convincing, showcasing yourself in a very subtle way.

When you start studying conversational hypnosis, you learn techniques to hypnotize your neighbours, friends or workmates in a very inconspicuous fashion without them noticing anything out of the ordinary. By tweaking a few sentences and working on your wording, you can release the power of conversational hypnosis to achieve unexpected results. Accessing people's subconscious is definitely something that will help you become more persuasive.

As you start probing into this new art, do not be fooled by the pleiad of free conversational hypnosis courses suffusing the net. Learning this method requires time and dedication.

How Hypnosis Works

Few parts of modern medicine are surrounded by mysticism than hypnosis, but it isn't any mysticism or magic about it. Hypnosis (from Greek "Hypnos" sleep) is a method to put a person in hypnotic state that's is known as a shift in the ordinary state of conciseness. Hypnosis is a tool to create the mind susceptible to suggestions, that make the mind overcome the barriers that hold you back in real life. Hypnosis also make the individual relax. In the prosess tension and the troubles of the day will disappear.

Hypnosis is created through words. Words influence us to a certain point were they can make us angry or sleepy, or they can stimulate the ego sensitivity in us. We can feel "heavy" or lightness, much heat or cold. Sleepiness and relaxation will often happen.

When a person enters hypnosis, certain physical changes will happen. You will notice the breathing become heavier, mild, and rhythmic. Lips and neck will become dry, and you get a needy sensation to swallow.

Arms and legs, the hole body becomes heavier, your head begins to bend down, your eyelashes and eyes will blink more often, while you become drowsy while nearing sleep.

You will concentrate on the voice of the person hypnotising you, and while you enter hypnosis you will not only notice the voice but also the sounds around you, that will seem louder. Many thoughts will pass through your mind and with questions that you elsewhere would not think of when not hypnotised. You will physically feel relaxed, lightness or emptiness, but the most important thing is that even though these thoughts pop into your mind you will not object to the suggestions that come from the hypnotist, because you really don't want to open your eyes or move off the chair at the same time.

Per definition hypnosis is provoked in the body as a overload of senses that clouds our objection processes, and unleash our fight or flight mechanism, that in the end result in hypersuseptibility that gets us access to the inner conciseness.

Hypnotherapy is used to cure addiction to smoking, weight reduction, improvement of confidence and to develop certain skills.

Hypnosis can also be abused to make people do things they usually wouldn't do, often used in parties and magic shows. And hypnosis is also "used" in some porn films were the man hypnotizes the girl to his bidding.

Hypnotherapy for Obsessive Compulsory Disorder

OCD is a type of mental disorder in which the person affected has an excessive fear about himself, his loved ones and about his work. He gets an obsession i.e. fear, anxiety, worries, uncertainty of thoughts about every work. The doubt about the completion and correctness of their work gets to extremities and thus they react as an unusual person. These people are constantly under the threat of thoughts regarding the incompleteness or improperness of any act. What if I don't reach a particular expectation in time? These people are extremely possessive and reserved. These people are caught by many upsetting and disappointing thoughts in their mind. In the name of the disease, the word compulsory also has its own meaning. OCD people have a very strong urge of doing a particular thing repeatedly i.e. rituals or compulsion, thus the name of the disease includes compulsory in it. They repeat the things just to ensure themselves that the work is safe and protected.

The obsessions and compulsions sometimes may be related but sometimes they aren't and at such times the affected person seems to be going nuts. A person with higher level of OCD reflects a distressing feeling at all times and can move to extremes due to a lot of fear. The obsessions keep growing and these can result to a lot of time consumption for the person to complete any task because of their repetitive behavior. Resisting of compulsions is really very difficult for these people suffering from OCD.

It is believed that this disorder is related with the levels of a chemical known as serotonin present in the brain. Due to the improper flow of this chemical the alarm system overreacts and sends false signals to us prompting such people to believe that a job is undone or there is a problem due to which they overreact. It is also said that it is hereditary. It can affect a person of any age and just like diabetes and asthma it is also a disease which is not in one's control. Diagnosis of OCD cannot be in a lab by some chemical or physical test but its diagnosis is done but psychiatrists and that to by asking few questions related to your obsessions and compulsions.

Unlike other therapies the treatment of OCD can be done in a lot easier and effective way. CBT is a type of talk therapy for the OCD people, the methods like exposure and ritual prevention is used in this therapy. The other way to get rid of OCD is by hypnosis. Hypnosis is a treatment where an individual's brain is modeled and reshaped. Hypnosis works at both levels, conscious and unconscious levels. For undergoing the treatment for OCD you need not wait long for an appointment from a therapist. The treatment is available on the Internet itself, and with a few downloads you can get rid of OCD. The treatment is available in many formats such as mp3, Cd's and videos. You just have to pick one format and go through the sessions as instructed. So start downloading now. What if I don't reach a particular expectation in time? These people are extremely possessive and reserved. These people are caught by many upsetting and disappointing thoughts in their mind. In the name of the disease, the word compulsory also has its own meaning. OCD people have a very strong urge of doing a particular thing repeatedly i.e. rituals or compulsion, thus the name of the disease includes compulsory in it. They repeat the things just to ensure themselves that the work is safe and protected.

Instructions On How To Hypnotize

If you have been looking for instructions on how to hypnotize someone step by step by searching online, you have probably come up empty. There seems to be an abundant amount of information on the origins, history, and psychology of hypnosis all across the internet. However, many people get frustrated because they can't find a simple, step-by-step guide written in plain English on how to hypnotize people.

So here, in a nutshell, are the basic steps you can use to hypnotize others:

1. Establish Rapport With Your Subject

If you are going to hypnotize someone, you need your subject to be comfortable with you. That is all "rapport" means. To like and be comfortable with someone. You can do this by calmly explaining to your "patient" that hypnosis is not mysterious. In fact, they will be awake and alert the entire time, fully able to respond to things around them at any time. They will simply be relaxed and calm, yet fully aware of their surroundings at all times. Do this in a soothing, understanding voice.

2. Relax Your Subject

Once you have gained rapport, you need to get your subject to relax. First, have them close their eyes. Now, in a slow, soothing and relaxed tone, tell them to breathe in and out slowly. Tell them to focus on their breathing ... in and out. Slowly. Repeat this 7-10 times, always with a slow, relaxing tone. Good. Now, have them focus on their body. Begin with the feet. Imagine your feet feel totally relaxed and calm. Move up the body until you get to the top ... making sure you describe the legs, hips, stomach, chest, arms, neck, and face all becoming relaxed, calm. Again, tell them in an ever slowing, relaxing tonality.

Tell them in your soothing voice that they are becoming more and more relaxed. Tell them to go deeper. Tell them they are now going deeper and are becoming even more relaxed. Tell them to listen to the sound of your voice ...

(At first, they were focused on a number of things: the room, the people in the room, the apprehension about being hypnotized, and you. Then, they were only focused on their breathing and their body becoming relaxed. And now, if you have done your job well, they are only focused on the sound of your voice and how wonderfully relaxed they feel. Any anxiety has slipped away. Their conscious mind is perfectly at rest. And you are now able to direct their subconscious mind to obey the subtle commands you give.)

3. Direct Your Subject

It's at this point that you are most in control. You now have the ability to persuade and influence your subject's mind quite easily. So, before you even begin a hypnosis session, you should have a plan in mind on what direction you wish to give. Are you trying to help your subject stop smoking? Overcome a phobia? This will determine exactly what you say.

Your commands are basically statements made in a positive, enthusiastic tone. Repeat your most powerful affirmations for maximum effectiveness. And always speak in the present tense. For example, if you are trying to help someone lose weight, never say "I will lose weight" or "I am going to lose weight." Always speak in the here and now: "I lose weight easily", "I enjoy healthy foods", etc.

Of course, there are more advanced command techniques such as age regression, remote dreaming, and more. However, these methods require additional training and more than can be explained in one article.

However, if you really want to learn how to hypnotize someone quickly and easily without going through the traditional induction process described above, you will want to find out more about "covert hypnosis". Covert hypnosis is simply the ability to hypnotize anyone instantly without their knowledge. It's much more powerful than traditional hypnosis simply because the person doesn't realize they are being hypnotized.

How To Perform Hypnosis On Others Quickly

Have you ever wanted to perform hypnosis on others, but thought it would be to difficult? If so, you are not alone.

Many people have the misconceived notion that they have to spend thousands of dollars and years of their life training to become a hypnotist. However, that is simply not true. Although professional training can hone your skills and is recommended if you wish to pursue hypnotherapy as a career, it is not needed to become an effective hypnotist right away. The truth is, with a little knowledge and practice, you can start hypnotizing people with amazing results in just a few weeks.

Now, if you want to perform hypnosis to relieve someone's childhood traumas or battle a major phobia or mental problem they may be having ... then yes, you should have some semblance of training before attempting this level of reprogramming. However, if you simply want to hypnotize others casually instead of clinically, then the learning curve is much easier. Here are the two easiest ways you can start hypnotizing others:

Conscious Hypnosis

This is the standard hypnosis session whereby you begin relaxing and focusing your subject on the sound of your voice. Then, once your subject is in a calm, meditative state, you simply begin giving commands to influence their subconscious. You will need to work on developing rapport and speaking with a more authoritative tonality in order to influence your subject effectively. Remember, the person you are trying to hypnotize is well aware or "conscious" of the fact that you are hypnotizing them ... they may instinctively try to resist or combat your efforts.

Covert Hypnosis

This is an easier, more powerful way to hypnotize someone. Covert hypnosis is simply a way to hypnotize someone in simple conversation, secretly without their knowledge. It's powerful because the person doesn't know they are being hypnotized and therefore they put up no resistance at all. The only skill needed is friendliness and a basic understanding of embedded commands. This is one of the most recommended ways to learn hypnosis as you can begin immediately without much training and still get fantastic results.

How To Hypnotize Women To Do What You Want

You should know that there are 2 kinds of hypnosis: clinical hypnosis which is used in order to solve mental problems, suppressed memories and so on which is performed by a clinical psychiatrist, and what is known as conversational hypnosis which basically can be performed by anyone who knows how. This article deals with conversational hypnosis and how you can use it to exert influence over women and get them to do what you want.

So how can you hypnotize women?

Here are some simple steps:

1. Eye contact - Hypnosis isn't for the timid. Before a woman is susceptible to your influence, you need to make sure she is focused on you. The best way to do this is to maintain eye contact with her. This causes the woman to feel that she should listen to you attentively and also makes you appear confident and powerful. This will make it much easier to hypnotize any woman you want.

2. Know what makes women tick - Women like confident men whom they feel they can't control. You see, women, especially beautiful ones, feel that they can control any man. If you portray yourself as a man who is out of their control, these beautiful women will be intrigued by you and instantly attracted to you. This will create an atmosphere which will help you to hypnotize beautiful women with ease.

3. Learn how to listen - It's true that women like men who listen to them (or at least put on a good show to make it seem like they do), but that's not what I mean. What I mean is that in order to say the right things to hypnotize a woman and get her to do what you want, you need to know as much as you can about this woman you wish to put under your spell. So listen carefully to everything she says. It'll come in handy.

4. Use conversational hypnosis power words, intonation, and phrases - Conversational hypnosis really comes into play after you create the appropriate atmosphere like you did in steps 1--3. Once you've accomplished that, you can use certain power words, phrases, as well as intonation and body language which make your appear to be confident, an authority figure, enigmatic, and highly attractive in the eye of any woman you want. In step 3 you listened to her, so the specific power words and phrases will change for each woman. However, the basic principle will remain: by using conversational hypnosis, you will be able to plant ideas and desires in the mind of any woman. Now don't expect an instant miracle, a lot of men simply want to hypnotize women for sex, and while this is entirely possible, with some women it may take longer than with others. It depends also on how well you control the art of conversational hypnosis. However, you will be able to get women who wouldn't have considered you at all by using conversational hypnosis.

The Hand Clasp Rapid Induction - Instantly Hypnotise Anyone

The handclasp rapid inductions is one of the most powerful rapid inductions about, and is really easy to do. It basically involves converting a routine suggestibility test to an almost instant induction, which is bound to impress friends, amaze a crowd and save time at a clinical practice. A quick warning first, this induction is surprisingly effective, so be sure you know the basics about what to do with them while your subjects are in trance, and how to safely bring them out. Anyway, here's he how to:

Have you subject hold his/her hands out in front of him, with the palms facing each other. Have you subject visualise or imagine that his hands were powerful magnetic plates moving towards each other, being pulled by a strong magnetic force inwards, towards each other. With many their hands will begin moving together already, and that's great, well done! If their hands don't start moving yet you can add another layer to the picture, and repeat your suggestions: and it's as if you hands, as well has being pulled magnetically closer, are tightly bound by strong elastic bands, pulling tighter and tighter, closer and closer, closer and closer, that's right, closer and closer, bound by strong bands, pulled by magnetic force your hands move closer and closer.

In a very, very small number of people there will still be no response, in this case it is likely that their hands have become cataleptic in mid air, or that they are consciously resisting you. Here just give their hands a gente nudge towards each other, and continue with your suggestions more forcefully, never let them think they are doing it wrong though, always reemphasize that they are doing fine, that they are doing well.

Once their hands are moving together you can suggest that once their hands touch they will instantly fall into a deep hypnotic trance, and if you want to add an Ericksonian element, you can suggest that they must not go into a trance until their hands touch (A powerful presupposition!). Keep suggesting this, make sure they know, believe and accept that when their hands touch they will fall into a deep, wonderful and very pleasant hypnotic trance.

Just before their hands touch, when they are about an inch away, quickly, firmly but not violently push their hands together with your hands, at at the moment when they touch command "sleep" in a loud, paternal voice.

Then quickly launch into your deepener, otherwise, due to the nature of rapid inductions, they will quickly spike out of trance, so you need to be quick to keep them under.

Hypnosis is a huge subject, and mastering it can be tricky, to help you out though i have created a free hypnosis audio library, with free hypnosis audio downloads to help you in your journey to hypnosis mastery.

Hypnotize Yourself Right Now - 10 Steps To Hypnotize Yourself Today

I want to show you a really interesting technique to hypnotize yourself. It is known as the Betty Erickson technique as she devised it to hypnotize yourself. Betty’s husband Milton Erickson is someone I have referred to on several occasions in my work as a renowned hynotherapist and psychiatrist and someone whose work seems to hypnotize me all the time. This technique to hypnotize yourself is entirely attributed to her. Hypnotize Yourself Betty Erickson Method:

This method to hypnotize yourself is based on the following premises and ideologies. While there are a number of counter-examples to these notions, they will be of value in understanding and utilizing this method to hypnotize yourself.

We think our thoughts in pictures, sounds and feelings.

When we think in pictures we refer to the external things we see and the internal images that we create. This includes remembered images ("What does your bedroom look like?"), constructed images ("What would it look like if it were redecorated?"), as well as the actual, real things we see about us.

When we think in sounds these are the things we hear and the internal sounds that we create. This includes remembered words or sounds ("Think of your favourite pop song"), imagined words or sounds ("Imagine that song being sung by someone else"), and also includes your internal dialogue as well as all of the real, actual, live sounds around us.

Thirdly, are the things we feel. These can be actual physical sensations or imagined ones. Can you imagine being at the seaside and paddling in the cool sea?

Most of us use one of these ways of thinking more than the others; though we each use all three of them. Since this is usually the case, an individual who "thinks" in images wouldn't hypnotize themselves the best simply by visualising.

Focused Attention:

Stereotypical images of hypnotists holding watches or other fixation devices for clients to stare at are the result of much misunderstanding about hypnosis. I for one have long ago banished my velveteen smoking jacket and watch on a chain for more modern methods of hypnotic induction! The experience of hypnosis is typically an inwardly focused one in which we move away from the environment around us and turn our attention inward. This technique to hypnotize yourself is doing that even more.

Hypnotize Yourself Technique:

Step 1: Find a comfortable position and get your self relaxed and settled. Get into a position that you will be able to maintain easily for the time you are going to hypnotize yourself. It can be sitting or lying down, though sitting is recommended to prevent you from falling asleep. Get yourself centred, just looking in front of you and breathing slowly and easily. Let yourself relax.

Step 2: Think about the length of time that you intend to spend in this state and make a statement to yourself about it such as "I am going hypnotize myself for 20 minutes ... " (or however long you want) You will be delighted to discover how well you "internal clock" can keep track of the time for you.

Step 3: What would you like to get out of this? Make a statement to yourself about the reason you want to hypnotize yourself. In this process, you allow your unconscious mind to work on an issue rather than giving suggestions throughout, (that is another technique) so our purpose statement should reflect that fact. Here's how I recommend you phrase it to yourself : " I am going to hypnotize myself for the purpose of allowing my unconscious mind to make the adjustments that are appropriate to assist me in _____________."

Filling in the blank with what you want to achieve such as "developing more confidence in social situations." The actual words aren't nearly as important as the fact your statement acknowledges that you are turning this process over to your unconscious mind.

Step 4: Looking in front of you, notice three things, one at a time, that you see. Go slowly, pausing for a moment on each. It is preferable that they be small things, such as a spot on the wall, a doorknob, the corner of a picture frame, etc. Some people like to name the items as they look at them - "I see the hinge on the door frame".

Step 5: Now turn your attention to your auditory channel and notice, one by one, three things that you hear. (You will notice that this allows you to incorporate sounds that occur in the environment rather than being distracted by them.)

Step 6: Next, attend to your feelings and notice three sensations that you can feel right now. Again, go slowly from one to the next. It is useful to use sensations that usually are outside of your awareness, such as the weight of your glasses, the feeling of your wrist watch, the texture of your shirt on your body, etc.

Step 7: Continue the process using two Visuals, then two auditories and then two kinaesthetics. Then, in the same manner, continue (slowly) with one of each.

You have now completed the "external" portion of the process to hypnotize yourself. Now it's time to begin the "internal" part.

Step 8: Now close your eyes. Now, bring an image into your mind. Don't work too hard at this; this is fun, remember? You can construct an image or simply take what comes. It may be a point of light, it may be a beautiful beach, or it could be your car or an apple. I shall not scare you with the ideas that randomly pop into my mind. If something comes to you, just use it. If nothing comes, feel free to put something in your mind.

Step 9: Pause and let a sound come into your awareness or generate one and name it. Although this is technically the internal part, if you should hear a sound outside or in the room with you, it is OK to use that. Remember that the idea is to incorporate things that you experience rather than being distracted by them. Typically, in the absence of environmental sounds; I often imagine hearing whooping hallelujahs from a gospel choir; don’t ask me why, that just happens in my mind.

Step 10: Become aware of a feeling and name it. It is preferable to do this internally - use your imagination. (I feel the warmth of the sun on my face) However, as with the auditory, if you actually have a physical sensation that gets your attention, use that.

Repeat the process with two images, then two sounds, then two feelings. Repeat the cycle once again using three images, three sounds, and three feelings.

Then to complete the process, open your eyes when your alloted time is up - It is not unusual to feel a little bit "spaced out" or wander off somewhat. At first some people think that they have fallen asleep. But generally you will find yourself coming back automatically at the end of the allotted time that you set before you chose to hypnotize yourself. Trust that you weren't sleeping and that your unconscious mind was doing what you asked of it.

Many people don't get all the way through the process. That's perfectly all right. If you should complete the process before the time has ended, just continue with 4 images, sounds, feelings, then 5 and so on. It is a simple way of just getting you acquainted with how to hypnotize yourself.

Covert Hypnosis - Using The Change Of Meaning Trick To Hypnotize Others

A very effective confusion pattern tactic is the spontaneous change of meaning. This one is also pretty interesting, so pay attention.

If I say to you, "Go ahead right into trance now." notice how I have actually combined two different sentences into one and I've kind of fudged the corners, the edges of the reality between them by using, again, ambiguous message.

"Go ahead" is a normal statement. "Head right into trance" is another normal statement. "Go ahead right into trance now" begins to fudge the barrier between those two statements and makes them into one.

Because you have a sudden change of direction, it surprises the guardian of the gate, confuses him because for a moment he goes, "Hang on a second, that doesn't fit." But by then you are on a different track altogether and everybody moves smoothly into hypnotic elements.

Another way to use this change of meaning is to introduce a suggestion and carry on with the old idea as though nothing ever happened.

Because you are carrying on through, people don't have time in their mind to jump back and think about it. But because something unusual happened, there is an unconscious "aha" moment.

And the unconscious spots it, "Hey, something is going on" and decides to do something about it or at least to store it. If more and more of these things are happening, it suddenly goes, "There's a pattern here." It begins to pay attention to the pattern as well as the overt communication itself.

You don't necessarily have to rely on an ambiguity to create this change of meaning spontaneously. The way to do this very simply is to take two statements, two sentences, one of which begins with the same word or the same phrase as the other one ends with. For example: "You can relax now is the time to learn about conversational hypnosis."

Notice how, in that statement, I have the two sentences:

"You can relax now," and,

"Now is the time to learn about conversational hypnosis."

Because they both begin with the same word "now", all you do is collapse a word into one and you run the sentence through as though you forgot that you were changing topic.

Go ahead and construct your own ones and begin to just drop them just one at a time into normal conversations. Remember, the secret here is to drop them casually and see if anyone notices. Just keep running through.

Don't litter your entire conversation with these things because they will get annoying and overbearing. In fact, this is a general point for all kinds of confusional language. Don't suddenly become the most confusing person on earth that no one can understand because that can be very counter productive.

Confusion is a very powerful pattern to use, but know when it's time to use it and it's more like the spices that you put on a meal.

Put in too much and you've ruined the meal. Put in too little and the meal is bland.

But with the just the right amount, just the right hint of spices and suddenly the meal becomes a wonderful thing.

Hypnotism isn't necessarily about bending people to your will so much as it is about opening their minds to the possibility of accepting your will and it is a powerful form of persuasion on both a personal and a professional level if you put it to work as a positive force in your life.

There are a few things you need to do for yourself however, before you even consider attempting to hypnotize someone else. First of all, you must not only be confident but project confidence in order to be even remotely effective in your attempts to hypnotize others. There are few things that are more hypnotizing than listening to someone talk who is completely secure in him or herself. This alone can be hypnotic. When you combine self-confidence with hypnotic techniques you have created a powerful combination. There are many methods for self-hypnosis that can help you have and project the necessary confidence to hypnotize someone if self-confidence doesn't come naturally for you.

You should also understand that there are many different methods that are often utilized, quite successfully, to hypnotize someone. If your goal is to learn one or more methods you may do well to work out a sort of apprenticeship with a professional and learn from watching and participating in their sessions. This is perhaps the simplest and most effective way to learn the art of hypnotism though certainly not the only way.

There are plenty of videos, books, and instruction guides that can assist you in learning to hypnotize someone or even to help you learn to hypnotize yourself. There are many positive outcomes that can occur as the result of hypnosis. Popular and promising results today that are often discussed are those who use hypnotism for behavioral modifications such as assistance in weight loss and quitting smoking. Self-confidence is another thing that can be gained through effective hypnotism as well as creating a hypnotic personality by overcoming some of the social fears that often prevent us from being our natural, magnetic selves in public.

If you'd like to bring these positive results to your own lives or help others enhance their lives with similar results, then you are a good candidate for learning to hypnotize someone. The idea of helping others is a very noble reason to learn to the skill of hypnotism however learning to help yourself may prove to be an excellent reward for your nobility.

By learning to hypnotize someone you also have the ability to learn to hypnotize yourself. This means you can effectively help yourself in the same ways that you would help others: weight loss, quitting smoking, eliminating panic attacks and managing fears, and creating self-confidence to replace self-doubt and an ineffective public persona. Can you imagine how much your life would improve by learning to improve yourself through hypnosis.

Why would you want to learn hypnosis now? After all the controversy and misunderstandings this topic is associated with. When most people hear of the word 'hypnosis' they immediately will think of these three things.

1. A black and white spiral rotating in front of them which is meant to induce them into a state of hypnotic trance. Perhaps even making you powerless.

2. Another thought that commonly springs to mind when 'hypnosis' is mentioned is someone dangling a pocket clock in front of them. Once again to attempt to induce them into a hypnotized state of mind.

3. Because of all the unbelievable and phenomenal acts hypnotists are able to perform, especially the ones who appear on TV, many people are highly skeptical of hypnosis and assume that the TV shows are stunts with paid actors and actresses. This type of media attention and publicity raises plenty of eyebrows, draws criticism and plenty of questions.

The 'does hypnosis really work?' is a very popular search term on the internet.

Unfortunately, many younger people including children and teenagers will watch these hypnosis TV shows and it will linger with them forever or until they discover how hypnosis really works and how hypnosis can be used for more than getting people to do ridiculous things on television. The internet will help to change the general perception of hypnosis. These days whenever someone is unsure about anything or any topic, they can simply log onto the internet and run a search for their query.

These are some of the other uses hypnosis has; weight loss, an aid to quit smoking, removing phobias, and power of persuasion to gain respect, power and rapport. Other interesting hypnosis related topics include; self hypnosis, feminization hypnosis and clinical hypnosis.

As hypnosis gets more attention and more understanding of its other non-comical benefits and uses, the number of hypnotists will increase but the number of clients will also increase. If all hypnosis techniques were a scam then we would not see so many hypnosis training, hypnosis books and courses doing the laps on the internet. Payment processing companies for these hypnotists or authors would simply ban them from selling their hypnosis products because of a high refund rate. The question is why would you want to learn hypnosis? What do you want it to do for you?

How To Hypnotize A Woman

2007-10-22T22:42:00.000-07:00

When you want to hypnotize a woman, there's something that normally happens, i mean when you are searching for a woman you want to hypnotize, though this may not happen to all men because it rarely occurs. Many men experience it and many more will experience it when they are out to hypnotize a woman. It goes like this, you are in a group chatting with some couple of girls or maybe you are with a friend like one or two drinking at a party or some cool spot, while you are doing this, you have got your eyes on a woman in the group and you really want to make something happen fast like make a connection if you know what i mean. The woman maybe the kind that feels hard to get, she smiles while you are looking at her and talks to you politely and friendly but she is not returning your comments the way you want it, if at all. It's like that woman is playing hard to hypnotize whereas her female friend's seem easy to ride with it.This does not always happen because you are not the type of man she wants, as you know this things always happen or don't but there's a different, the reason might be because the woman you want does not seem to be interested in you and to me it's a thing of psychology and social attitude.

Whenever you show you are interested in a good looking woman who is with her friends, you make her feel too big and she will really love to show off her ego, in her mind she believes that you want her and she will like to show this attitude of elevated importance. Meanwhile, she also knows that once she reacts by feeling to be obvious and sexy attracted to you, she will lose the higher values she has over her friends maybe the reason why you targeted her in the first instance, she keeps on her "i am a bit too good for you" status. Probably, you can tackle this situation with what i call deflection theory which is a kind of way to hypnotize women. This is simply a method whereby you twist the situation on her head and turn the psychology of your target woman by deflecting your mind away from her and passing it into one or more of her friends. When you show her friends who has got low social worth or value than the woman you want to hypnotize, you show more affection and closer attention to her friends, you should her ego which she is resisting from you. So in a way to gain her superiority in the midst of her circle friends, the woman you want to hypnotize will subconsciously invest much more interest in you by flirting and being playful, i don't know whether you have noticed this attitude in woman when a man wants to hypnotize or date them, thats a scientifically proven method to hypnotize woman called deflection theory i have said that previously, though it may look confusing but as you read on you will get what i mean.

As a normal character in women, she lets in accepting what she feels she cannot have and of course you will be glad to have that woman. After all she is the hottest in the group of her friends and the woman you've being eying to hypnotize. One of the ways to deflect the attention onto one of her pals is to make the woman you want to hypnotize feel as if her ego has been challenged and won. Thus, is to make her feel an instant and an undeniable desire to get your attention and also win you back.

(1)Try to use a strong eye contact when talking to all of her female friends. Meanwhile, when you are talking to the woman you want to hypnotize, occasionally take your eyes away and towards one of the girls who is busy talking among themselves or maybe to your friends if you are with any at that moment, make a slight smile before looking at the woman of your target. This will hammer a kind of competition into the battling mind of the woman you are really interested to hypnotize and immediately will make her want to gain your attention back.

(2) Casually try to make a kind of close physically contact with her pals more than the way you make with her, e.g touch them on the side of their arms to attract their attention or when joking and laughing.

(3) When sitting down or standing around talking as a group, face slightly more (as in, the direction of your body/torso) in the direction of one of her friends more than her. Using deflection theory to challenge the ego of a woman you're interested is way to hypnotize a woman and therefore make her want you more is just one psychological technique you can use to boost your pick-up game. Combine it with others and you maximize your success with the opposite sex in ways most men have and never will experience.

How to Hypnotize Someone

2007-10-21T22:44:00.000-07:00

If you want to learn how to hypnotize someone, it is probably best to learn from a working hypnotist, if possible. Some hypnotists are reluctant to reveal their techniques, both because they may be earning a good living from a few simple secrets, and because they would prefer that their ‘club’ of hypnotists remain small and exclusive.

If you want to learn how to hypnotize someone in particular, you should be aware that it is thought that some very literal minded or skeptical people cannot be hypnotized, and many hypnotists also believe that no-one can be hypnotized against their will. However, this is still a matter of debate. Also, people vary in their levels of 'suggestibility' – this is their natural tendency to go along with suggestions or instructions. A very assertive person with a big ego may make a difficult subject, while a timid or enthusiastic person will be an easy one. But it is not thought the intelligence, sex or age of the subject make any difference in their susceptibilty to hypnosis.

Lately, the techniques of hypnosis have become much better known, and if you want to learn how to hypnotize someone you should pay attention to the following.

First, actually test how 'suggestible' they are. To test suggestibility, you can ask a person to roll his or her eyes upwards as far as they can. The less the colored part of the eye is visible, the more easily they will be hypnotized. Or you can ask them to stare at a small light in a darkened room. You pretend to move it, and ask them if it is moving now. Those who quickly say ‘yes’ will be easy to hypnotize.

You need a calm, safe, non-threatening environment, with no noise or distractions like music or TV.

You ask the subject to close his or her eyes. Allow a short silent period for the subject to become placid and relaxed.

You begin to talk gently, in a reassuring way.

You ask them to do something simple, like raise on finger slowly, and lower it again.

Bear in mind that your goal as the hypnotist is to have a very relaxed subject who becomes oblivious to their surroundings (sometimes this state is compared to being in a state of extreme concentration) and whose focus is on you, and what you are saying or telling them to do. This has been likened to the subject being in a movie theater, enjoying the movie, and being completely oblivious to the others in the audience around them.

Having achieved a suggestible state by using gentle, easy instructions, you can try to 'take command' of the subject's actions. While it may be easy to get your subject to change their posture, blink, imagine a mosquito is buzzing around, or raise or lower their arms, it is much more difficult to make your subject feel you have immobilized their whole body, or are aged 9 again and want a cookie, or can fly like Superman, or have forgotten their own name! But it is possible!

The secret of how to really hypnotize someone like this is to proceed very slowly at first, with requests for easy, gently movements, then requests for simple responses, before moving on to more extreme behaviors or actions. Don’t believe you are ever 'controlling their mind' – your subject is only responding to your suggestions.

The Physical Power of Hypnosis

2007-10-21T22:25:00.000-07:00

The proof of how powerful hypnosis can be, comes in many forms. So much so that certain practices have long since been discontinued on the basis ethics and professionalism.

Some years ago, a fairly common practice in stage hypnosis was to induce a state called the full body catalepsy. In this state, the “subject” experiences a complete rigidity of all the muscle groups in his body. He/she becomes completely stiff, like a piece of wood. As a demonstration, stage hypnotists would often position the subject’s head and feet on opposing chairs, without support through the torso and legs. This created a sort of human bridge, upon which the hypnotist would sit or stand.

The full body catalepsy contains no therapeutic use whatsoever. It serves merely for theatrics, and it’s obviously quite frowned upon today. It is unlikely to be seen very much these days for ethical reasons. Despite the fact that you’re unlikely to see such a stunt, it remains a strong example of how powerful hypnosis can be. The act of turning a person’s body into a rod of iron with mere suggestion is quite simply an amazing feat.

To a greatly lessened extent, catalepsy is still used today, but only on isolated body parts like an arm or a leg. This is done to deepen the state of hypnosis, and bears no risk of injury to the subject unlike the full body catalepsy. In fact, they don’t even feel any discomfort. For instance, I can induce hypnosis on someone, and bring about arm catalepsy, and they can remain in this position for an extended period of time, even an hour, without feeling a thing. Try this at home, and within a few short moments, you will feel extremely uncomfortable.

Hypnosis is its own form of pain control. A technique called glove anesthesia can be induced where the hand can be made to feel numb, and experience a total loss of sensation. The anesthesia can then be transferred to other parts of the body by putting the anesthetized hand on another body part, such as the stomach. This is a very powerful technique which I have used many times with great success.

A more subtle example of the power of hypnosis is witnessed regularly if you watch competitive athletes, like runners, as they mentally prepare for a race. There extreme focus and concentration takes them to a place where everything else is tuned out, and they are literally running every inch of that race in their mind, before it even begins, mentally planning every step.

Fortunately, we needn’t go to severe extremes anymore to prove the power of hypnosis. The theatrical impact of hypnosis has of course dropped in popularity over the past decade or so anyway, and practices such as the full body catalepsy are a thing of the past. There is no longer the need for hypnotists to demonstrate the amazing power the mind has over the physical body. The general public is much more aware of the power and effects of hypnosis these days, even if there are still many myths that still remain.

Getting the Most Out of Self Hypnosis

2007-10-18T22:30:00.000-07:00

There are many benefits to using self hypnosis. It can be used to overcome fears, fight addictions such as smoking, improve confidence and self esteem, and improve sports performance, to name just a few. In fact self hypnosis can be used to improve just about anything you want to in your life.

For some people self hypnosis is extremely easy and requires very little effort. Some take to it like a duck to water, while other people may need to experiment a bit more to reap the wonderful benefits it can bring. This article intends to help you get the most out of self hypnosis.

Self hypnosis can involve a little bit of trial and error at the beginning until you start to identify the conditions that best suit you as an individual. Variables such as the ideal body position, or the most opportune time of day are truly yours to determine based on your particular situation, schedule, and individuality. It’s important to remember that there are no fixed rules that apply to everyone. Everyone is unique and it is left to you to identify what works and how you can most effectively reach that desired state.

There are, however, a few elements which will help increase your degree of success with self hypnosis, regardless of individual needs. Some of the points I will address or based on listening to a recorded self hypnosis CD or download. However, I’ll start with the issues which should be addressed regardless of whether you’re listening to a recording or not.

A fairly obvious requirement is total relaxation, which usually requires reduced distractions. So it is very important to try and find a quiet place that limits or completely obliterates outside sources and choose a time when you are certain you won’t be interrupted. Ensure that if you have people at home, tell them to not disturb you for however long you want, unless of course there is an emergency.

Knowing that hypnosis is in fact an altered state on consciousness, it bears noting that the early morning may not be the best time. You may find you’re extremely alert and hyper-sensitive to distractions at that time. Instead, pick a time of day when you’re slowing down, or typically starting to feel fatigued. For most people, self hypnosis is best in the evening time, preferably more bedtime.

The most useful bit of advice I can give to a beginner is try not to try too hard. Self hypnosis requires concentration, but being overly focuses on being hypnotized will impair the process. Part of the self hypnosis process is being able to just let go and let it happen to you. Rather than focusing on achieving hypnosis, focus on nothing, and let the message make its way clearly and seamlessly, effortlessly, whether it’s a recording or your own words.

Using a recording is a great for self hypnosis. One key factor in getting the most out of a recorded self hypnosis session is regular listening. Repetition is the key to successful suggestion and the more you subject your mind to the message, the more it will penetrate and impact.

Another important factor in getting the most out of a recorded self hypnosis session is to wear headphones. Not only are headphones great if you’re easily distracted, but they also promotes an intimacy between you and the voice on the recording, closing off outside noises, and facilitating a more direct route to your mind.

Like anything else, you will only get out of self hypnosis what you’re willing to put into it. If you’re determined to find ways to fight hypnosis and disprove its effectiveness, you’re unlikely succeed. This is essentially true of anything we do in life. But if you go into it with a clear open mind and you’re willing to invest the time to find your ideal hypnosis conditions, you can literally reap of benefits of self hypnosis on a fairly regular basis, even daily.

Discover Weight Loss Through Hypnosis

2007-10-18T00:43:00.000-07:00

For many people hypnosis conjures up the image of a man of stage making someone do something completely foolish but weight loss through hypnosis seems even sillier.

But there is solid evidence that a person can achieve quick and lasting weight loss results by using hypnosis.

But firstly let’s look at what hypnosis is?

According to Contemporary Psychiatric Mental Health Nursing hypnosis or as it is more commonly known hypnotherapy is “the therapeutic use of suggestion when a person is in an altered state of consciousness in order to effect positive changes in that person’s behavior and so treat a range of health conditions”. It has not only been used to decrease the pain a person is feeling but also for weight control.

In a publication (Warren 2003) there was a statement that “Hypnosis is a way to access the untapped power of the mind and alter brain functions. In this state of intense relaxation and concentration the mind is able to focus on positive suggestions which can be carried out at a future time. These subliminal messages are surprisingly powerful.”

Then at the 54th Annual Conference in November 2003 of the Society for Clinical and Experimental Hypnosis, Dr David Spiegel (Stanford University researcher) said “that although we don’t fully understand how it works, there is significant evidence that hypnosis can be effective in helping people reach into their own unconscious resources to solve problems normally beyond their ability”.

This in fact shows that the scientific community believes that indeed it is possible for someone to achieve weight loss through hypnosis.

In the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1996 a report regarding meta-analysis (comparing multiple studies) showed that adding hypnosis increased weight loss by an average of 97% when people were being treated. But even more important this increased the effectiveness of post treatment by over 146%. So this has shown that hypnosis can work even better if used over longer periods of time.

Whilst in the Journal of Consulting and Clinical Psychology 1986 a study was carried out on 60 women and they were separated into hypnosis versus non-hypnosis groups. It was found that those women using hypnosis lost an average of 17lbs whilst those in the non-hypnosis group only lost an average 5lbs.

So as you can see weight loss through hypnosis is very effective and may be more people should look at trying it in the future.

Hypnosis For Weight Loss – Hypnosis Will Help You Loose Weight!

2007-10-18T00:26:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis For Weight Loss – Hypnosis Will Help You Loose Weight!

The mind is very powerful. It is capable of eliciting a desire for food in the same way that it can also control your cravings. It can lead you into believing that you're already losing weight which can cause the idea to turn into reality. Innovation on weight loss has gone further with the use of hypnosis as another regimen to add to the long list of diet products and procedures available.

How it works

When it comes to food, it is no fun to be on your guard against it all the time. It happens repeatedly; you are craving for those delicious forbidden foods (perhaps because you find a certain comfort level with them), and even before you can remind yourself of their ill effects, it is too late! The fiends are already in doing their bit. And you are already on a guilt trip because of your wayward behavior. Sometimes, no amount of conscious effort and willpower helps when it comes to denying yourself the pleasures of eating comfort foods. That is where hypnosis comes to your rescue.

Hypnosis enables weight loss without you having to battle with your cravings and hunger all the time, without having to go through the anguish of denying yourself. Hypnosis facilitates the success of your weight loss plan by changing your mindset on the conscious level; not via the conscious route but by continually feeding positive thoughts into your subconscious mind, by changing your mindset inside out, by reprogramming the way your subconscious mind feels about food. As a result of weight loss hypnosis, the most impossible-seeming diet plan becomes possible to follow because you no longer share the same relationship with food that you did earlier.

With weight loss hypnosis, the healthy lifestyle and diet choices will feel more satisfying and joyful. The signals from the subconscious part of your brain may even start making positive changes on the cellular level. Your cellular memory will get reprogrammed and will start responding to positive thoughts, leading to self-healing from within. The conflict between your wants and goals will be resolved. That is what you call: think healthy, be healthy.

The following are the benefits achieved by weight loss hypnosis:

Kills your desire to overeat and reduces your cravings for unhealthy foods.
Gives a strong feeling of self-empowerment, boosts your self-esteem and confidence, and induces positive thinking.
Lends you a positive self-image.
Reduces stress levels.
Can reveal a past incidence that may have triggered your weight gain.

If you are struggling with weight loss, hypnosis can provide the extra motivation to keep you moving in the direction of your goals, and enable you to escape the many food traps that get in the way of weight loss. Click Here to find out how you can re-educate your unconscious mind to stop craving fatty, high-sugar foods. You can develop a healthy eating habit that feels like second nature.

Hypnosis and Memory

2007-10-16T22:30:00.000-07:00

Memory is an odd thing. We remember certain things yet others just slip through our minds as though they were never there. Can you use hypnosis and train our memory better?

Well, hypnosis works with our minds, so it should be perfectly possible to link hypnosis and memory.

First off you need to decide what you want to remember. We experience so many pieces of information each and every day that it would be foolish to remember every single scrap of information. For instance, you probably don't care which commercials played in which order during the last ten commercial breaks. Or how long it took the traffic lights to turn from red to green.

You need to narrow down what you want to remember. Then work out whether using hypnosis on your mind is the best remedy. It could be that a simple note in your cell phone would work better for a regular appointment, for example.

Let's say that you think you can't remember people's names. That is something easy to work with and would be a great introduction to the power of hypnosis. It would also avoid the embarrassment of meeting someone and having to ask to be reminded of their name.

Hypnosis can help with this as well as more sophisticated tasks like boosting your overall brain power, including your memory. It's as simple as booking a session with your local hypnotist or downloading a pre-recorded MP3 file directly to your PC or iPod. For the handful of dollars, this second option is the one I'd recommend as a first action.

Can Hypnosis Cure Phobias?

2007-10-13T22:10:00.000-07:00

The big question is "Can hypnosis cure phobias?".

When the hypnotist you are asking answers with a resounding "yes", the next thought is usually along the lines of "yeah, right".

But you'd be amazed at the high success rate that hypnosis has with phobias.

Top athletes regularly use hypnosis in all areas of their career. One of these areas that they may not be quite as public about is a fear of flying. After all, how can something as common place as flying be something to be afraid of? Surely almost every plane that takes off lands again safely?

Yet fear of flying is a biggie.

Hypnosis to the rescue!

By getting to the core of the fear, hypnosis can turn round the fear of flying and let you face an airport without turning into a quivering wreck.

The same goes for any other fear or phobia you've got.

For instance, if you've been afraid of heights since childhood, you can listen to a hypnosis MP3 and watch the fear melt away. This won't mean that you will lose the natural fear that kicks in when you are about to do something stupid from a height. But it will mean that you can climb a tower or tall building and admire the view, without your knuckles turning white while they are gripping the nearest safe object.

Public speaking is another very common fear. Truth be known, most of the audience probably don't care what you are saying in your presentation. They're just glad that it's you who drew the short straw rather than them. You can use hypnosis to boost your confidence in public speaking so that you don't break out into a cold sweat the next time you are asked to speak in public.

Improve Your Life Today With Self Hynosis

2007-10-12T00:16:00.000-07:00

Self hypnosis techniques work well for treating stress and anxiety partly because they teach the body to completely relax. When this happens, the extra hormones that have been reduced subside while your mind is distracted. Some people are even able to use hypnosis in place of drugs for treating their stress, anxiety, or depression.

When you perform self hypnosis, you use positive statements about yourself to counteract the effects of negative thinking or behaviors. It can be coupled with meditation and/or imagery as part of a regular stress management program.

There are actually a lot of ways in which self hypnosis is similar to meditation. You want to choose a time of day when you can sit down and not be disturbed. Place your feet flat on the floor and your arms by your sides on the armrests of the chair, start breathing deeply, allowing the tension of your body to dissipate with each breath.

Once you have done this for a few minutes, allow each body part to relax on its own. You may feel the sensation of sinking more comfortably into the chair. Imagine yourself walking down a staircase, noting the details while you count down from ten to one with each step. Each time you go down, imagine that you are more relaxed, and fall into a deeper state of self hypnosis.

In order to place yourself in an even deeper state of self hypnosis, you can try imagining that you are walking in a garden filled with flowers and greenery. Explore the garden, listening to the birds and the bees, feeling the grass beneath your, and smelling the aroma of the flowers as you go along.

Once you feel that you have reached the deep state of self hypnosis, you can begin the actual treatment phase. Visualize the thing that you wish to achieve and you will do it. For example, if you are a smoker who wishes to quit, picture yourself as a healthy non-smoker and some of the things you will be able to do. If you want to lose weight, picture yourself eating healthier foods and exercise and see yourself becoming thinner.

15 to 30 minutes is a typical session, but you can make the session as long as you would like depending on your needs. For a more successful session, choose a time and a place when you will not be tired and in danger of falling asleep. It is also better to be in a sitting position versus lying down.

With a little practice, this technique can give you the positive reinforcement that you need to see results.

An Easy Way To Learn Self Hypnosis

Simple Steps To Learn Self Hypnosis

The first step when it comes to trying to induce a hypnotic state is to slow down and become relaxed. This is easier said than done, yet it is critical in order to start the hypnotic process. In order to learn self hypnosis, one must have the desire to follow these steps in order to achieve any significant results. First, the relaxation needs to be a deep relaxation in which you let go of any tension or stress and become limp and flexible. This process should not be rushed, as it is crucial to the rest of the exercise. This relaxation may take a few seconds to half an hour depending on how tense or stressed one is. Tensing and releasing certain muscle groups can be helpful with this step.

The next phase to start in order to learn self hypnosis is to deepen the relaxed state. You will not lose consciousness in this state, yet you may feel like you are going to sleep. When this state is achieved, a person will know that they are coming under hypnosis, as they will be watchful yet very calm. Sometimes, this may take a few months, but some people have success their very first try. Counting down from 20 backwards is one way that people begin to drift deeper, as well.

Now, a person is ready for the suggestion application stage in which their subconscious mind is opened up to receive their suggestions. One talks to themselves and tells themselves what they want to do, become, or be. For example, they might say, “I am eating less and losing weight daily.” Sometimes these are called image suggestions because of the images that are conjured in one’s mind during this time. Termination is the final stage in learning self hypnosis in which you want to tell yourself that this is the end of the hypnotic session, and you may possibly count to three in order to bring yourself back. People have used these methods for many years in order to help them think more clearly and overcome many types of addictions as well.

Ever want to improve yourself You could learn self hypnosis and save tons of money versus seeing a hypnotist. Hypnotists may be worth your money if you don't have time to spare, but if you do you can easily learn their secrets behind the magic of their results. This magic, is of course sound science, based on studies of the human brain.

The brain works on several different layers, the two that hypnosis focuses on is the consensus and subconscious. The subconscious is the part of your brain that is much faster than your conscious. Your conscious runs at approximately 16 bits, this is slower than modern computers. However what makes humans be able to do what computers cannot is the over 1,000,000 bits sub-conscious processing power. The only problem with the subconscious processing power is that is difficult to program. The sub conscious tells us when to feel hungry, when to feel tired, grumpy, sad and happy. Although ultimately it is up to your conscious mind to decide when to do these actions such as go to bed or eat.

Retraining your sub conscious can be difficult without the right resources, but with things such as hypnosis scripts, you can quickly and easily learn self hypnosis and retrain your sub conscious.

To learn self hypnosis after getting the right resources requires time and repetition, the way your sub conscious works.

So if you don't have money to throw away at a hypnosist and want to get hypnosis, why not learn self hypnosis and get all the benefits of hypnosis without the cost of the hypnotist.

How To Hypnotize Someone Easily

2007-10-08T23:44:00.000-07:00

Learning how to hypnotize someone can be a very valuable tool. Hypnosis has been around for centuries and used for many purposes from healing to success to psychological therapy. Hypnotherapists use hypnosis to hypnotize their patients and get often get outstanding results.

So what is hypnosis. In short, hypnosis is the ability to bring a person to a low level state, much like sleep, where they are prone to verbal suggestion. Believe it or not, you have probably been hypnotized before. Television is a great example of how to hypnotize someone easily. Have you ever watched a movie that was so captivating that when it was over, you felt as if you weren't quite the same? Theaters often produce this same affect. Music is another culprit of hypnotism as well. You might have noticed at some point becoming hypnotized in a deep relaxation while listening to a specific song.

Hypnotism is most commonly used in therapeutic practices. Hypnotherapists help solve many common day problems through verbal suggestion. The key concept to hypnosis is relaxation. Relaxation allows a person to move from a wide awake perspective in to an alpha state where the brain takes in great amounts of information yet the body remains calm. The trick to learning how to hypnotize someone easily is by getting them to this alpha state.

Sleep walking and sleep talking are also kind of in the same realm as hypnosis. It is in the grey area between being wide awake and dead asleep. People also use hypnosis to create success in their life and wealth. Today's entrepreneurs study hypnosis in order to get what they want from people without them knowing they are doing so. You may see hypnosis in writing also. Certain authors have been found that the words they use created brainwave patterns in those who read their books equivalent to those created by hypnotherapists. Whichever way you decide to use hypnosis, remember that you are dealing with someone at a very vulnerable state, and should take this in to consideration when learning how to hypnotize someone so you don't cause any harm.

Start Using Hypnotic Influence In 10 Minutes

2007-10-06T23:23:00.000-07:00

But... no matter what you think, once you know how it's done, you'll realize it's really easy. All you need is to follow three simple rules and you'll become at least 40 times more persuasive then you are right now...

Rule #1: Establish rapport

The first thing you should do is establish rapport with your audience (whether you're talking to one or five thousand people). This means you have to put them at ease, make them feel comfortable and establish a feeling of connection between you and them.

This can be fairly easily achieved. One important thing you can do is to come on stage, or wherever, completely confident, as if you know every single part of that place (note: don't make it look like you own the place -- it could be perceived as arrogant!). The more at ease you are, the more your audience will pick it up and start feeling that way.

You can establish a sense of connection by saying something like "Dear friends, we came here today to ...". The important thing is that you make it seem as if you and them are together in this and are essentially the same. You can also quickly quote some things you know for a fact that your audience agrees with wholeheartedly -- this will give them a sense that you think like them and they will unconsciously lower their defences.

You should always project that you're there as a part of the like-minded group on some level.

Rule #2: Captivation

After you've established rapport, you have to captivate your audience. This will induce a trance-like state where they will be much more inclined to follow along and to use their imagination -- an important part of the hypnotic experience.

You can captivate your audience by playing on their curiosity or by telling and interesting story. Be very detailed in your descriptions. Ask questions like "What if I told you we found a way to (add a beneficial end result)" or "Have you ever (describe a feeling you want them to feel". You can also start with a sentence like "What you're about to hear is top secret. Only a handful of people have this information...".

These will all make them much more responsive.

Rule #3: Leading

Once you have rapport and you've captivated your listeners, you can begin to lead their imagination. People will almost never do something that they haven't previously "played" in their mind and felt good about it.

So... your job is to paint a clear picture of what you want them to do (the end result!) and suggest what good feelings accompany it. If you can somehow contrast what it would be like if they haven't done what you said and suggest negative feelings with it, you have an almost guaranteed success. You must have an end result in your mind from the beginning and focus on achieving it.

Time distortion is a great tool to use here. If you can get your audience to imagine having already done what you want them to do and feel good about it, you'll almost certainly get a favorable result!

Make sure that at the end of your presentation, you give a call to action. If you forget this, you'll get far worse results than you could have. This could be as simple as asking them to do what you want right now.

Hope that this short article gave you an idea of how powerful covert hypnosis, as we like to call this art, is and got you imagining all sorts of things you can do with such powerful knowledge, from getting a date or persuading your friends to do what you want, to achieving a higher level at selling and charisma.

Covert hypnosis is a collection of techniques and strategies to change people's minds in a completely unconscious way. It's a powerful tool to have.

Can You Be Hypnotized?

2007-10-06T01:59:00.000-07:00

A person's susceptibility to hypnosis is dependent on several factors. Whether these factors work together or oppose each other is entirely in the hands of the individual.

There are factors that are outside of anyone's control. They come down to the individual makeup of each person. For instance, if someone is naturally susceptible to suggestion in their everyday life, they likely will carry along that susceptibility in the hypnosis process as well. Everyone is susceptible to some degree, but this is one of the variable that will contribute to a person’s likelihood of achieving hypnosis easily.

But there are varying degrees of depth of hypnosis, and hypnotherapy doesn’t require a deep state of hypnosis. It can be beneficial at varying levels of depth. The self hypnosis CDs and downloads that I have produced are designed to take someone from a completely awake state into some degree of hypnosis.

Susceptibility to suggestion is also impacted by repetition. The more you hear a message, the more likely you will be to able accept is as fact, to buy into it, whether consciously or not. This is also true in everyday life.

Some people take to hypnosis quite effortlessly, while others need a bit more practice. Their degree of susceptibility might be influenced by other conditions around them, and they may find they need just exactly the right circumstances to achieve hypnosis.

But the most important contributor to someone’s susceptibility to hypnosis is really their attitude. If someone tries it and has immediate success, that’s terrific. But if the first time you listen to a hypnosis CD and you do not achieve hypnosis, some people will stop at that and conclude that it doesn’t work. That’s unfortunate, because if people are willing to commit to listening to the recordings regularly, and to finding the ideal conditions for themselves, they will achieve some degree of hypnosis, which will benefit them.

Hypnosis is about suggestion, and there is a degree of suggestion to all forms of therapy. If there are any prerequisites to qualify someone as a candidate for hypnosis, it’s attitude first and foremost. Sure other intellectual variances may factor in, like concentration and imagination, but they would likely affect the level of hypnosis, rather than the ability to achieve it in the first place.

Application Of Hypnosis

2007-10-04T22:31:00.000-07:00

In Europe, particularly in Germany and France, it has been used to some extent as a direct surgical aid in both major and minor procedures. In certain patients it can be used as a substitute for drugs in producing anaesthesia, and since the time of Esdaille it has been used repeatedly for this purpose. It has the advantage over anaesthetics of affording the patient peace of mind, a sense of security and confidence, and it has no afteraffects. However, even at the present day its application in the field of surgery should be limited properly to the minor field until the general medical practitioner as well as the laity have a better understanding of psychological manifestations.

It has also been used successfully in obstetrics and undoubtedly would be used much more if there were not such a misapprehensive, fearful attitude toward it. A primary objection to its use by the medical man, remediable by proper study of the practice, is the difficulty experienced in inducing and maintaining trances. No hypnotists know for a certainty whether or not they are going to succeed with a particular subject at a given time or whether their technique for the occasion will be sufficient for the maintenance of the trance. But this is more fortunate than otherwise, since the therapeutic and medical application of hypnosis should not be taken lightly or left in the hands of the dilettante.

In the field of psychological medicine, however, hypnosis offers a unique approach to many mental problems and difficulties. Its value lies in the fact that it allows the physician to approach directly the subconsciousness of the person with its disturbing conflicts. It often serves as a gateway through his resistances and allows indirect approaches to many difficulties which otherwise could not be attacked.

Also of paramount importance is the fact that the hypnotized patient is in a receptive state for psychotherapy. The difficulty involved in getting patients to accept therapeutic suggestions directly constitutes the greatest obstacle in psychotherapy. Hypnosis renders the person receptive. Indeed, as has been mentioned before, it is a state of enhanced suggestibility. Consequently, by means of hypnotism it is possible to implant therapeutic ideas upon the subconsciousness and to have them take effect when endless numbers of suggestions given in the waking state would be given no heed or even actively resisted. Thus the patient accepts hypnotic suggestions and acts upon them without conscious awareness and without building defense reactions. In so doing he allows them to become a valid part of his mental patterns, all the more so since fundamentally, if not immediately, he does desire aid against his conflicts. By this means patients can be given new mental equipment wherewith to deal with their difficulties, a new equipment which does not have to pass the protective scrutiny of their consciousness.

Hypnosis is not to be looked upon as panacea nor is it to be discarded because it has definite limitations. On the contrary, it is a valuable addition to the medical armamentarium, most particularly to that of the psychiatrist.

Perhaps the most fertile and productive application of hypnotism is in the sphere of experimental psychology. More and more laboratories are becoming interested in the peculiar and significant problems which hypnosis renders available for study. This rapidly increasing interest in experimental hypnotism both in this country and abroad may be taken as an indication of a growing realization of the fruitfulness of hypnosis as a field of scientific research. It constitutes almost a virginal territory for psychological investigations, and it appears to offer a good approach to an understanding of many mental mechanisms which have hitherto defied comprehension.

Trance Hypnosis and Will Power

2007-10-03T23:45:00.000-07:00

Yes, it's true that most professionals who practice hypnosis would have you close your eyes. And it's also true that no one ever does anything against his/her will or anything that would be immoral. Now, that's not to say that some people don't do immoral things as I'm sure you've seen others do immoral acts and they never went to a hypnotist. And yes, some will do outrageous things all on their own without the aid of a hypnotist.

So why close the eyes? The most famous hypnotist of all times, Milton Erickson, rarely had his patients close their eyes. He was the master at wakened hypnosis--giving suggestions without having one close their eyes.

You're probably wondering about trance. When you buy because of the masterful suggestions used by advertising and marketing geniuses, or when the ghetto students are motivated by the educator, or when you purchase as a result of the salesman's presentation, where's the trance?

That's the irony. Trance has no feeling. It happens the moment the analytical questioning conscious mind is bypassed to the subconscious mind resulting in a change of behavior.

Suggestions as used by Mesmer and his tub with iron rods centuries ago wouldn't work today as man has become more sophisticated and analytical. Today's man would ask, "What's this stupid tub and iron rods about anyway?" Yet, depending on the hypnotist's charisma, tubs and iron rods could be made to work. But why go to that extreme? The hypnotist would need a huge room just to house the tub when simply an improved suggestive technique will accomplish the very same thing.

The "art of suggestion" is simply to cause a change in behavior in the subject. Example: suppose there were a hundred people casually walking out the front door of a building over the course of several hours and you wanted to have as many of them as possible look upward to the sky as they exited the building. What would you do? What kind of suggestion would you use? Would you stop each person and tell them that they should look up into the sky because...?

Today's sophisticated man would question your motives and ignore you thinking you might be distracting them to take their wallet. The answer is to position yourself so that as they leave the building they will see you glancing upward. Their curiosity will cause them to accept the visual suggestion and look upward. That's hypnosis! That's trance!

Years ago I commuted to NYC from NJ via a commuter bus. Smoking was not allowed in NJ, but was allowed in NY. Soon after we'd enter the Lincoln Tunnel, one of the smokers would realize that smoking was ok and light up. Within seconds, another would light up, and another, and another--visual suggestion. Sometimes, we'd get all the way through the tunnel before the first smoker would light up. I always hoped that they'd all forget until we reached the Port Authority bus station and were off the bus.

So why do hypnotists generally have their subjects close their eyes? In reality, suggestions given with eyes wide open can be far more effective--that is if they are the right suggestions.

Quite frankly, most subjects expect that hypnosis is done with eyes closed. For many years I conducted group and individual sessions for stop smoking and weight management. Both were a single session. The first portion was done with the participants in the wakened state. By the time we got around to the eye closure portion, my job was done. The eye closure was simply a relaxation that was expected by those taking the program.

Most hypnotists couple relaxation with suggestion because with the experience of deep relaxation unexpected feelings of lightness, denseness, numbness, euphoria, and sometimes feelings of separateness of mind from body are experienced. Being unfamiliar with these feelings of deep relaxation, the subject simply assumes that he/she is in trance (since they feel differently than ever before) and therefore that the suggestions will work. In other words, the critical thinking mind has been bypassed because of a conclusion--actually a false conclusion, but it works for both the subject and the hypnotist.

Will power? The only will power required is to take the first step to making change and that usually is to seek help in the form of cd's or a professional.

One particular advantage of programs on cd's is that nearly a hundred hours goes into the writing, editing, production, reediting and final production resulting in the most effective scripts possible as opposed to depending on a creative spur of the moment suggestion in a live session. Once one has used a cd, then if live sessions are desired, far more progress can be made as the cds have already laid the foundation of suggestion--it's usually a matter of fine-tuning.

The important thing to know is that trance itself has no feeling and that hypnotists in general use deep relaxation to deliver suggestion because it's expected of them.

Unlocking the Secrets of Hypnosis

2007-10-02T22:39:00.000-07:00

The word, "Hypnosis" for most conjures up images of Svengali controlling one with a pendant or the movie--the Manchurian Candidate, or they remember a stage show where they saw a subject on stage quacking like a duck and not remembering anything after opening his/her eyes. All are images that leave one leery of hypnosis!

Even though the word, hypnosis, was not used at the time, Anton Mesmer in the 1700's is credited with the first use of hypnosis. Most of Mesmer's patients at that time in history suffered from "Hysteria." He would have them stand in a tub of water with metal rods. As they held onto the rods, he'd wave his wand resulting in the patients experiencing a cathartic reaction during which their "hysteria" was cured.

Even though, his technique revolves around the use of the wand and the theory of "animal magnetism," a few choice verbal suggestions along with and air of expectancy and mystique contributed to his results.

His career was questioned by a panel of experts, Ben Franklin being one of those on the panel, who judged him to be a quack which eventually ruined his career. Over the years, his disciples and other physicians such as James Braid used various forms of suggestion further refining--defining the art of hypnosis. Freud for a while experimented with it and then abandoned it. Remember back then there were no strict educational standards as there are today.

Even though those who practiced various forms of hypnotism attempted to explain the techniques and verify the results, an air of mystique has always surrounded hypnosis. We have centuries of professionals using various forms of hypnosis for a plethora of human ailments and unhealthy habits and we have centuries of a few people such as The Amazing Randi--the magician--doing everything he can to prove that it doesn't exist.

Why aren't tubs and iron rods used today? Remember Mesmer's patients by in large suffered from hysteria. Today the frequency of hysteria occurring in the general population is nil. Hysteria is a rather simple stress reaction. It's a reaction to a particular type of stressor--shock. Typically the sufferer sees something traumatic and develops blindness. Or hears something traumatic and becomes deaf. Or in response to the shock they become mute, or lose motor control of certain muscle groups and become catatonic. Except for post Vietnam War years when many Vietnamese developed hysteria reactions in response to the atrocities they witnessed in the war, hysteria is rarely encountered.

Today, humans develop more sophisticated means of reacting to stress such as eating disorders, smoking, drinking, drugs or gambling, or physical reactions such as headaches, hypertension, ulcerative colitis..., and or mental abreactions such as depression, bipolar, schizophrenia... And then again, by now someone would have discovered a more effective means of delivering suggestion for dealing with hysteria than the use of tubs and iron rods. It seems that as the human race becomes more sophisticated in their thinking, their stress reactions become more sophisticated.

Simply put, hypnosis is really the art of suggestion. For instance, the TV world has produced many shows featuring educators who motivate his/her ghetto students to achieve. This educator is a master at motivational suggestions. That is hypnosis.

Advertising and marketing geniuses develop suggestions and images that motivate the viewer or listener to purchase a particular brand. That is hypnosis!

The salesman presents his product in such as way with verbal suggestions that makes the sale. That is hypnosis!

Professional hypnosis is the "art of suggestion." For specific problems, specific suggestions have been devised to aid the individual in overcoming the problem. How suggestions are phrased makes a big difference.

Not to say that charisma and believability doesn't count. The same suggestion delivered two different ways (one with confidence and rapport and one without confidence or poor rapport) will have different outcomes.

There are two necessary ingredients for hypnosis to work:
1. The suggestion must make sense.
2. The hypnotist delivering the suggestions must have rapport (trust) with the subject.

Thus a suggestion could be as basic as every time you say the phrase, "blue skies," you will forget about food and lose weight."

Now that could be the suggestion, but in order to make the suggestion believable, the hypnotist needs to provide to the individual a conscious understanding how this could work--i.e. "blue skies" means that you're free of using food to deal with stress.

Thus hypnosis is the "art of suggestion," which requires the hypnotist having rapport and the suggestion making sense.

Hypnosis - What Does It Feel Like?

2007-10-01T22:34:00.000-07:00

People always want to know what they're getting into before they try something. So when it comes to hypnosis, the common question I hear is how does it feel? I understand why they ask this question. They want to know what they're supposed to be feeling or experiencing during hypnosis. What they are really asking, in essence is how will I know when I get there? They want to be sure that they will know when they reach hypnosis.

It’s human nature to ask or question this, but it’s something that has no clear, specific answer that will be common for everyone. What I want to explain to people is that hypnosis doesn’t have a clear entry point. There is no line that you cross over that clearly indicates your arrival into hypnosis. It isn’t a zone that is marked off inside your mind. First time subjects often have that same concern, that they won’t be doing it right, or won’t know when they are there. But in reality, there isn’t any defining element to watch for. With practice, you’ll become better at relaxing, and just letting yourself go. Trying too hard to achieve, or recognize that you have achieved hypnosis is the first thing that will actually impair your ability to be hypnotized.

So to investigate the question a bit further, there is no real identifiable psychological experience that confirms hypnosis. There are changes, certainly, and those can occur to varying degrees depending on your susceptibility, and your level of relaxation. And you’ll even experience a slightly different psychological experience every time you do it, as you get better at it, more comfortable. You will potentially reach different depths of relaxation. Just remember that there isn’t a right or wrong here.

There is no question that you will experience some changes. Remember that your entire being works as a system, comprised of many complex elements, all working together. Of course when you have a shift in one of your system’s components, it stands to reason that the ripple affect will reach all the other components to some degree, and impact the overall system. Example: if you are diagnosed with a terminal illness, like cancer, you’re going to go through drastic physical changes and all of your physical components will be affected. And your psychological being will be affected too. Even if your cancer is centered in your leg, for instance, your mind will be enormously affected. That’s an extreme example, but it makes the point. It’s inevitable that your emotions will be affected. You’ll feel many physical characteristic of the illness, and you will feel psychological characteristics, emotions.

Emotions are mental feelings. In hypnosis, you may experience these psychological changes too, because you will use your imagination to bring on mental feelings.

Physical shifts are a direct result of your completely relaxed state. Some people experience the sensation of their limbs becoming heavier, while others report the exact opposite, and describe a feeling of weightlessness. Others still identify no particular change in their limb sensation.

In trying to find ways to describe hypnosis to the general population who haven’t done it, the common description is that your body goes to sleep while your mind remains awake. You may look as though you’re asleep to an outside observer, because you’re so completely relaxed, and focused on your therapy, that you won’t even react to them entering the room. But unlike a sleeping person, you typically won’t twitch or shift around, either.

Rapid eye movement occurs in some cases, but not always. The lack of REM or any other particular sensation is not indicative of hypnosis failure. The point is that we can generalize, but there’s no set of indicative characteristics that define success or failure in hypnosis. There’s no such thing as getting it wrong.

The most important thing to grasp here is that everybody will have a different experience, because there are countless variables at play. We all have our own unique make-up, and theoretically, we are using hypnosis to address a unique, focused problem or issue, so no two therapy sessions will ever be exactly the same.

The only request I make, and the best advice I can give to new hypnotic subject, is don’t try too hard. Do not consciously try to guide or direct, or force your thoughts. Just relax and let yourself go with the flow. You can’t possibly do it wrong. And you will inevitably experience some level of altered awareness. The varying degrees are related to so many factors, including your susceptibility. So just give yourself a chance to relax, and don’t over think it.

The Basics Of Self Hypnosis

2007-09-30T21:00:00.000-07:00

The most important step in any hypnosis program is setting your intention! Before you even turn a self hypnosis session on you should first have a written statement of your intention. this statement should sum up the result you want to accomplish from listening to the hypnosis session. For an example we will assume you have a goal to gain more self confidence.

Firstly write down a statement outline 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. Create a mental movie that shows you being confident in situations that would normally leave you feeling a lack of confidence. You will use this mental movie during your self-hypnotic trance session.

Begin by breathing deeply. In through your nose to the count of five and out through your mouth to the count of five. 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. Hear the audience cheer as the movie runs. 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.

Continue your deep slow breathing as it will keep you relaxed.

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 stop behind the "other confident you" and find yourself facing the back of his/her 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.

Let’s go back in the 1600’s where some farmers developed an amazing hypnosis technique. The technique is very basic but also very effective. Together they developed a technique to keep their chickens calm and ready to lay eggs. The technique was to attaché a piece of wood to their beaks. This sounds stupid I know but the chickens would focus on that particular piece of wood and would stay still. With this awesome hypnosis technique they were even able to have chickens sit on each others egg. The technique became so popular that at some point it became an attraction that was performed around multiple countries. Similar methods were used to completely put animals under control.

Over the years many doctors and researchers have used similar awesome hypnosis techniques using repetitive sounds or motions. Some of these doctors helped cure many people. There are even stories that some of them were able to perform surgeries with the patient having no pain at all.

The power of the mind

At the end of the century a little boy called Milton Erikson was born. This little boy was affected by polio when he was only seventeen. Being paralyzed he started to use an awesome hypnosis technique while he was trying to walk again. Milton was picturing himself in his mind running and playing outside. Some say that with very strong concentration he eventually began to be able to move his chair he was sitting on. Over time he continued to picture himself learning each step required to learn to walk until he finally did. Milton Erikson later became the father of modern hypnotherapy.

Setting a goal and picturing it in your mind is a very powerful and awesome hypnosis technique.

Discover Your True Identity With Self-Hypnosis

2007-09-27T22:32:00.000-07:00

When I was out at dinner recently with some of my friends, someone joked about the fact that whenever we are out to dinner, someone always asks me about my work and then I end up spending hours politely answering questions about it.

Someone also said to me “I am sure that Adam doesn’t mind, because that is who he is…”

Interesting. My brain clicked in.

When I first started seeing clients in my individual therapy practice, I used to think of myself as a knight in shining armour, helping people to win battles of life and succeed more. I have also seen myself as many other things as time has gone by. However, who actually am I? Big question, eh? I have spent hours and hours working on my own identity and I find it a fascinating and enlightening topic.

So many people do not really consider themselves to have much of an identity or they keep the same identity that they may have had as a child and it may not be serving them well. This identity may not be conscious, it may well be firmly lodged beneath the surface.

Many of us will have found that many individuals do adopt identities from stories, films and books. Our minds are saturated with input from these sources, so maybe we should not be surprised that we tend to adopt the identities of others from time to time.

How many people do you know have become victims of a sad story as a way of seeking more love? How many people do you know that have adopted a certain identity to attempt to be more appealing to another? How many people do you know that have overcome great odds to triumph as so many heroes do? I am not suggesting for one moment, that you need to adopt the identity of someone other than yourself, though it can be very useful at times…

This article is about how to actually start to discover more of the essence of who you actually are. This is often clouded and veiled – we tend to think we are our actions, or our behaviours, or that we are the things we have… when of course we are not those things at all.

This technique allows you to truly strip back the layers of who you might think you are. How to let go of many of the things in which you may have defined yourself by and get to the real you behind it all, so that you can have a place from which you can choose to create your identity as you think is best for you.

I came across this technique and use it with many of my clients. I do not know where it originated but cannot take credit for the idea, only the adaptation of the technique…

Step One: Go into hypnosis. Although any receptive, quiet state of mind is just as good. Go get my self-hypnosis book if you want to learn how.

Take a few deep breaths into your tummy, then let your breathing resume all at its own pace and observe yourself, your thoughts and engage in the moment. Imagine drifting deep inside your own mind and get your body nice and relaxed. As you get your body nice and relaxed, allow your mind to gradually quieten and once you feel that your internal state is nice and receptive and still, proceed on to the technique itself.

Step Two: Next, we are going to use your imagination. If you feel that you have difficulty using your imagination, just pretend that it is easy and that is just as good. Trust that however you are doing this, is the right way for you.

So imagine in front of your there is a very large, clear plastic bag. That’s all. A nice large plastic bag. Imagine it in whatever way is best for you.

As you look at the bag notice many things about it, especially the clarity with which you can see through the bag to the inside. Imagine and trust that you can see very clearly what is in this bag. One thing to notice straight away is a colour inside of the bag. Just imagine a lovely purple swirling colour, slowly moving around in that bag.

Spend a couple of moments just watching this nice purple light swirling and rolling around slowly inside the bag.

The beauty and fun of this technique comes from the fact that there are some things that you can place in the bag. Some things about yourself, your thoughts your ideas, your difficulties, your hopes and of course your identity.

Step Three: Now you can start to put things into this bag in front of you.

Begin by putting into the bag your name and everything it means about you. Think about what your name says and how it feels to have this name.

Then place in the bag your clothes, including your favorite outfit, put in your entire wardrobe and anything else that is in it.

At the same time now, put in the bag your hairstyle, any makeup... have a good think what they say about you, what kind of statement they make, what they mean about you as you watch it all slowly rolling around and swirling in the bag.

Think about things that are important to you and then go ahead and put in the bag all your furniture, your entire home and absolutely everything in your home.

Then in the bag put your car and what it says about you, what you are trying to tell people about yourself. At this stage, place every single one of your possessions in the bag. Let go of all those physical things.

Step Four: Having done that, begin to think about some of these other ways you may be defined… So now put your job or your work in the bag. Add to it all those ideas that you are what you do.

As unusual as it may sound, put your mind into the bag next. While you are at it, also place into the bag that little voice in the back of your mind that is often tells you what to think and what to do.

Then add your personality to the bag, your dreams, any nightmares. Put these into the bag.

Then let go of your beliefs - all of your beliefs about money, men, women, family, sex and your weight. With them, put into the bag any beliefs about race, God, religion, politics, just put all the beliefs you have at all inside the bag.

As well as your beliefs, place in the bag all of the ideas and fears you may have about life and death, put your mother and father in the bag and all of your ideas and thoughts about them.

In the bag now place any sisters, brothers, grandparents, husband or wife, children, friends. Think about how and who you are with them as you put them in. Put into the bag, anyone you have every hurt or that hurt you. Put all of your complaints in the bag and anything you have ever complained about. Add to the bag all your judgments, every person you have ever met or encountered.

As well as the people themselves, also put in the opinions others have about you. Include opinions your parents had about what they wanted you to be, what your friends think of you, your colleagues and what your enemies think of you.

Put in the bag your needs. Include any need you may have to always be right. Make sure you also place in the bag your opinions. Include opinions about what you have and have not accomplished, opinions about success and failure. Opinions about reputation and opinions about who you are.

Step Five: Now put all the relationships you left and all the relationships that left you into the bag. Add to it, all of your characteristics, habits, behaviours and regular actions. Just watch it all swirling and moving, all those things that are you, that define you.

Place all your desires and wants into the bag next. Include any desire to always tell the truth or to any desire not to tell the truth. Any desires to avoid or confront others. Also go ahead and put into the bag all of your fears. Add all of your previous programming and with it all the reasons for the way you are what you are.

Step Six: Finally, put any current problems in the bag. Now, have a really good think and put anything you might have forgotten into the bag. Include everything and anything about you. Put it all in the bag, everything that is you is in the bag. Remember to put the clothes you are wearing in the bag and of course to place in the bag your body, your physical form.

Really see everything that is you in the bag, all swirling around in the bag, with the purple light. Have a really good look at everything that is you and really tune in to this moment.

Step Seven: This is where you want to really think about who you are. This is the crescendo of this exercise.

Realize something very important - you are not in the bag.

Really think about this while you are in this nice state, having gone through all the processes throughout the technique - You are who is looking at the bag.

You see, essentially you created everything in that bag to help you experience yourself. When it comes to your identity, you can keep or discard anything in the bag, it is entirely your choice.

Remind yourself that you are not who is in the bag, that you are not the things in the bag. Take some time out to meditate on this and get some insight. You may start to also get a flavour of who you really are – for you are who is looking at the bag – behind all that stuff.

Step Eight: Whenever you feel that you have learned all that you need to learn from this, you can wiggle your fingers and toes and open your eyes and go about your day.

Bear in mind that how you behave, think and act is not necessarily who you think you are. You are acting, behaving and thinking through hundreds and thousands of filters that are helping you define who you are in the world – is that really you? Take a step back and think of your actual identity this very day.

Who Else Wants To Secretly Hypnotize People?

2007-09-26T22:32:00.000-07:00

Brace yourself, because you're about to learn a single most powerful secret there is to human interaction and communication. In a minute I'll disclose to you a simple fact, a statement that will change your life and the way you communicate with people forever... if you choose to act on this information...

But first, let's get some of the smoke and myths off our back so that you'll better be able to comprehend the power in this and utilize it in your life.

Myth #1: Hypnosis doesn't exist. You simply can't make a person do something he or she doesn't want to do.

This is simply not true. I hope that you know that hypnosis indeed exists and it's actually very well accepted in the medical profession (which is purely based on science). But this first part is here for that small minority of people that still believe that hypnosis doesn't exist.

What I really wanted you to understand was the second part. There is a great myth in the hypnosis community that was probably launched by people that make people do what they don't want to profit out of them every day. That's right, every single day people are hypnotized to want things and do things they didn't want a minute ago.

One thing in life is inevitable and that's change. Everything constantly changes around us and things we didn't want to do today become second nature tomorrow. With hypnosis, we're able to accelerate this process so that instead of decades it takes minutes. And this is just one example of how this can be done.

Myth #2: Only some people can be hypnotized

Well, it is true that about 10% of population is extremely prone to be hypnotized. But that doesn't mean that everybody else can't be. With very few examples of mental illness, most everybody can be hypnotized. It's just a question of how it's presented to them.

Myth #3: Hypnotic induction takes a long time and can only be done if a person wants to be hypnotized

In a clinical setting, yes. This holds very true. Except for the length of induction, it can be extremely short! But what if we didn't tell that person we were about to hypnotize him or her. That's another story. And many techniques and language patterns have been created to hypnotize a person without his or her knowledge.

What is hypnosis anyway? Very simplistically, it's the lack of critical evaluation of information combined with very narrow focus of attention. This means that in such a state a person accepts most things as true and acts according to suggestions. Sounds familiar? Ever watched the news? Ever watched politicians and their talks?

So now you know that secretly hypnotizing people is possible and happens every day. In fact, some research suggests that we enter hypnotic states many times every day. Some say we're in one trance or another all the time. Covert hypnosis, as we like to call this fascinating subject, simply contains the tools that enable us to induce these states predictably, when we want to and to get a person from one trance to another.

So... now for the fact that will change your life and your way of communicating with people forever: People are basically hypnosis machines. If you learn a few simple ways to secretly induce hypnotic states in them and what to do next, there's absolutely nothing in this world that can stop you from achieving everything you ever wanted in your life! PLUS, once you realize that you're always in one trance or another, you can start to DELIBERATELY build trances for yourself to achieve maximal growth and success as a human being.

Hope you liked this article. I know I loved to write it.

Be A New Improved You With Hypnosis

2007-09-25T22:32:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis can be used to improve ALMOST EVERYTHING about yourself that you can think of.

It can make you MORE SUCCESSFUL by improving your confidence, memory, mood, imagination. Hypnosis is often used to help people pass exams, present dynamic presentations, excel in job interviews, and stay focussed on goals.

It can help COMBAT MEDICAL PROBLEMS such as skin complaints, stress, insomnia, asthma, IBS.

Hypnosis can also be used to CONTROL HABITS such as smoking, drinking, drugs, overeating, nail biting.

Or it can be used as a general relaxation aid to help us in our stressful lives. The list goes on…

WHY ISN’T EVERYONE USING IT?
Probably for a variety of reasons. First of all many people are scared of using it. They hear stories of people thinking they are chickens, or just generally ‘under’ some kind of spell. Stage hypnotists have long since created the wrong impression of hypnosis. They simply pick volunteers who are extroverts and want an excuse to act daft. A person in a trance does not sing and dance like Elvis!

Also a person is not actually ‘under’ a trance. A good hypnotist GUIDES someone into a trance. It is just as much the skill of the patient as it is the hypnotist.

A trance is actually an everyday phenomena for most of us. It occurs when you are engrossed in a book or film, or during meditation. You must allow yourself to go into trance, no-one can make you. Also you can snap out of it any time you please. If you could control others against their will, there would probably be a lot of wealthy unscrupulous hypnotists who regularly visit their bank managers!

Many people may not use hypnosis because of the cost and the difficulty finding good practitioners. A lot of people are put off paying high prices for a technique they are not sure will work.

It seems folk would rather pay for a good than a service. People seem to feel less cheated if they pay for something like nicotine patches, rather than a hypnosis session for smoking for example. It’s probably down to our materialistic notions that ‘we have something to show for it’. However the end result is all that matters. Hypnosis is known to have a far greater success rate for smokers than nicotine patches.

Some people may not trust enough to use the services of a hypnotist. They may not like talking to a relative stranger about their problems, or just might not like meeting new people. However there are now other ways of receiving hypnosis through recorded media, or even down the phone. Recorded sessions are cheaper, and can be used many times for greater effect. Most of us cannot afford the services of a good hypnotist several times per week.

However there is a wide scope of self improvement with hypnosis that literally billions of people are missing out on. Don’t be one of them!

Still cynical?

All I ask is that if you like the site, recommend it to friends and family. This will allow us to fund the expansion of our site through our sponsorship. We believe that everyone should be aware of the helpful power of hypnosis, and should have the opportunity to use it.

Hope to see you soon.

Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy

2007-09-24T23:12:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis is a totally safe, natural phenomenon. It is simply a form of very deep mental relaxation, rather like meditation. In a clinical setting it is neither dramatic nor exciting, but don't let this give you the impression that it can't therefore be as powerful as you may have believed, it is in fact far more powerful than most people imagine. It is potentially as powerful as the human mind itself - and don't forget that it is the mind that is the root cause of most problems that people come forward with, whether it is a phobia, a state of anxiety or just a craving for cigarettes.

The state of deep mental relaxation is very pleasant and your mind will remain very clear throughout, however deeply you go. You remain the 'captain', the hypnotherapist is just the 'navigator'. There is no question of being controlled or manipulated against your will, you remain in control at all times. Hypnosis is obtained through focused concentration, for example on the therapist's voice. Once the deep state of hypnotic relaxation has been reached, the subconscious mind is able to absorb information, suggestion and other content which bring about the therapeutic changes.

Although almost all hypnotists/hypnotherapists use the word 'sleep' during an induction, it is purely a signal to get the mind to relax very deeply, sometimes referred to as 'hypnotic sleep' You may look as if you are asleep but your mind will remain very clear and in control. (Should you actually fall asleep it will probably be necessary to gently wake you up as no suggestions can take effect during real sleep and time may be wasted).

Powerful changes are made but only ones that you want. You will enjoy a definite feeling of increased control. Nobody can be hypnotised against their will. 'Being under' may not be what you've always believed it is. People go in and out of trances almost every day and are not aware of it! You just feel mentally very, very calm and content, relaxed, focused and alert, like during a good film at the cinema. At these times the subconscious mind is accessible. Afterwards you feel normal, very relaxed and positive.

You will not be asked to look follow a swinging watch or to look into a spiral ! It was realised years ago that such props are totally unnecessary. People of all ages can be hypnotised, so long as they are over four years old, do not suffer from serious mental disorders and are not under the influence of alcohol. Hypnotherapy is short term treatment that can bring about long term change.

What Hypnosis Can Do For You

2007-09-22T22:10:00.000-07:00

Here are some things that hypnosis can do for you.

1. Hypnosis can improve your focus and concentration. If you are suffering from weak control of focus, hypnosis can improve that by channeling your attention to a specific object. This is done when the brain activities are low, putting other things aside.

2. Hypnosis can help you quit addictions like smoking. Some hypnosis programs are offered especially for addiction cases. They promise to deliver results of quitting addiction after doing daily hypnosis exercises, or undergoing hypnosis under the guidance of professionals for as short as 90 minutes, followed by a reinforcement hypnosis session.

3. Hypnosis can address your anxiety, panic, and phobia-related problems.These problems are caused by thoughts that certain persons are not able to control. To improve the mental state, these thoughts must be harnessed.For example, it is easier to overcome phobias when the mind is relaxed because the initial reaction of panic is set aside for a more rational way of responding to stimuli.

4. Hypnosis can help you in weight management. All weight loss programs will not work if the users are not accustomed to the needed discipline and state of mind. A lot of people find themselves unsuccessful no matter what weight loss program they undergo, may it be through food control or body activities. It is because their mindsets do not compliment the program.

5. Hypnosis can help you cope up with stress.When your body is tired from working hard, it can find rejuvenation in sleep or rest. But the mind is more complex than that. To get rid of mental stress, you must be able to lower its activities. This can be achieved through hypnosis.

6. Hypnosis can help you improve over-all performance.The body can do what the mind tells it to because human actions are somehow limited to what the mind believes in. In hypnosis, you can set your goals and undergo procedures to be able to reach your objectives in life.

7. Hypnosis can increase self-esteem.Because the mind becomes open to suggestions during hypnosis, it is easier to do personality development in that induced state. There is a greater chance of overcoming personal fears when positive thinking is implemented.

8. Hypnosis can help medical practitioners in administering cure to their patients.Most medical treatment effects are maximized with the help of hypnosis. The patients are relaxed and are in a condition wherein they will be able to follow instructions told by the doctors. Panic is also reduced in serious cases such as accidents and serious medical conditions.Other medical conditions such as bulimia, migraine, and impotency can be cured by self-hypnosis.

With all the things that hypnosis can do, it is no wonder that it is considered a powerful tool in achieving different endeavors that humans have.

What is Hypnosis?

2007-09-21T23:44:00.000-07:00

Let me explain what hypnosis is and is not. Hypnosis is like the dream state somewhere between consciousness and unconsciousness when your subconscious mind is very active. It is like the magic 30 minutes right before you go to sleep and right after you awake. You go in and out of hypnosis all day long. It is when you are on autopilot when, for instance, you don’t remember passing an exit on the freeway while driving yet the car keeps going totally in your control.

When you think of hypnosis you might conjure up images of a stage act, which is very different from clinical hypnosis. Those people are carefully selected before hand and are the type of people that would do anything on stage with or without a hypnotist prompting them.

A hypnotist can not make you do anything that you don’t want to do. Can’t make you cluck like a chicken or bark like a dog unless, of course, you want to. And it’s not like taking a truth serum. You remain completely in control.

You will be in a very relaxed state, a calm state of well being. Some people experience a lightness or a heaviness or a tingling in their arms and feet or some feel nothing at all. Each person is unique and feels hypnosis differently. Some might even ask afterwards if they were even hypnotized. But there will be physiological changes that you’ll notice to assure you that you are indeed being hypnotized.

Your conscious mind will be totally aware of what the hypnotist is saying and might drift off to other thoughts. Meanwhile your subconscious mind will be in a heightened state of awareness absorbing all the positive suggestions from the hypnotist. You might even experience time distortion. Some people feel the time goes amazingly quickly in a deep hypnotic trance while others feel like time stands still.

One of the many benefits of hypnotic sleep is that being hypnotized for 20 minutes can sometimes be as refreshing as a few hours of deep sleep. You awaken from the hypnotic state refreshed, energized with a calm sense of having released all your anxieties and negative feelings accumulated throughout the day.

Covert Hypnosis

2007-09-21T23:38:00.000-07:00

Covert hypnosis is a powerful persuasion skill where a hypnotist can influence the subject without him or her knowing about it. Covert hypnosis is slightly different than stage hypnosis - There’s no blatant trance that the subject is put in. Through simply pacing and leading the subject with carefully chosen words and language patterns, the subliminal images, emotions and messages the hypnotist wants to convey will simply sink into the subject’s subconscious.

Convert hypnosis is based on the work of Milton Erickson, and further expanded by the invention of Neuro-Linguistic Programming. Erickson was an expert at pacing his clients to build rapport, and gradually leading them to where he wanted to go. Erickson was also great at using various language patterns to get his clients the results they were looking for. This is the basis of covert hypnosis.

To perform covert hypnosis, the hypnotist first has to get trust and rapport with the subject. Once the hypnotist has this trust, he can then lead with a pattern that conveys a subliminal message to the subject. For example:

Basis: Trust is built, and the hypnotist is moving into covert hypnosis:

“Ben … (Speaking Slowly) Have you ever had an experience with a person … Where while you’re listening him (Hypnotist points to himself) , you find yourself listening to every word (Hypnotist lowers his voice) … And as you listen … You find yourself feeling more and more connected to this person (Hypnotist points to self) …”

In this scenario, the hypnotist first built the necessary trust to get the subject saying “Yes” to his questions. Then the hypnotist uses covert hypnosis to get him to listening carefully, and links that to himself. Finally, the hypnotist uses the language pattern to build a more powerful connection with himself.

Throughout the pattern, the hypnotist uses a covert hypnosis technique called subliminal commands. Subliminal commands are commands that are spoken to the subject’s subconscious mind. The hypnotist does this by deepening his voice slightly, signaling to the subconscious mind that the words he’s speaking are “different” from the rest of his message. The subconscious mind singles out those words, and takes them as a command. In this case, the commands were “Find yourself listening to every word” and “Feeling connected to this person.”

Covert hypnosis is a powerful means of persuasion, and is also useful for hypnotherapists who want to have a more powerful impact on clients.

The Benefits of Learning Self Hypnosis Techniques

2007-08-11T22:06:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis is drawing what is within you, your capabilities and strengths. Narrowing and focusing your intense concentration and attention on something that you want to change. It is mind over matter. You are releasing the full potential and capability of your mind to attract positive energy. Learning self hypnosis techniques offers a lot of benefits. Hypnosis can be used to change something about yourself that will make you more productive, happier and a better person.

People have wrong notion about hypnosis; maybe because of what they have seen in movies. You don’t have to be in a spell or trance to be in hypnosis. In fact, many of our daily activities are performed under hypnosis without us being conscious about it. Driving a car for instance is one of it. It is an activity that you shut your mind out of other stimuli or distractions to concentrate on driving. Your concentration and focus will help you to automatically respond to anything that will happen while driving.

The benefits of learning self hypnosis techniques:

Change yourself. Learning self hypnosis techniques will help you change your negative thinking into positive attitude. You can even learn how to control anger through hypnosis. It can help you improve yourself confidence and overcome shyness and fears. Learning self hypnosis techniques will allow you to relax and focus on something that you want to enhance and change. Hypnosis will also allow you to overcome challenging situations in your life.

Overcome Diseases. Clinical hypnosis is officially recognized by American Medical Association and American Psychological Association. Learning self hypnosis techniques can help you overcome diseases and pains. There are self hypnosis techniques that you can use to conquer migraines, insomnia, menstrual pains, anxiety panic attacks and even overcome fears of dental procedures.

Discover Self-Hypnosis - End Weight Worry Forever

2007-08-11T22:04:00.000-07:00

Although self-hypnosis is easy to learn and to use, it’s a very powerful tool, especially if you want to lose weight.

As a weight loss tool, you can use self-hypnosis in two ways: firstly to discover what’s causing you to overeat. This is valuable knowledge. Secondly, to give yourself hypnotic suggestions which will help you to lose weight, such as that you’re in control of food, and that you’re highly motivated to lose weight.

You’re Hypnotized Every Day - So Take Control Now

Self-hypnosis is just autosuggestion (suggestions we give ourselves), and we all respond to suggestion. After all, we may have piled on our weight because we responded to suggestions from TV commercials, and tempting aromas wafting from a bakery, and from memories of the sensual pleasure of eating. It’s time to discover how to give yourself suggestions which will help you to lose weight.

You may be amazed when you realize that you’re hypnotized many times each day. For example, have you ever completed a task completely without thinking? Or lost yourself in a movie or book? You were hypnotized. Learning self-hypnosis just means discovering a method which allows you to consciously do what you do very well already.

Self-Hypnosis Is A Powerful Tool For Investigation And Accomplishing Weight Loss

Once you learn the basics of self-hypnosis, you’re in control of your weight. You’ll want to analyze your eating habits while you’re in a slight trance. This enables you to be non-judgmental, and to discover what’s driving your weight gain.

For example, let’s say that suddenly you realize that you’ve eaten an entire container of ice cream. Instead of being hard on yourself, imagine putting yourself in a slight trance and thinking about what led up to your eating binge. You may discover that you had a stressful day, and that you ate to calm yourself.

With this new knowledge, you can choose to get stress relief from another activity: perhaps calling a friend, going to a movie, or going for a walk. You can immediately instill this new behavior with self-hypnosis. Now the next time you have a hard day, you impulsively call a friend you’ve been meaning to call for weeks - this new behavior happens completely automatically, you don’t have to think about it, any more than you thought about reaching for the ice cream.

Intrigued about the potential of self-hypnosis to help you to lose weight? The best way to learn self-hypnosis is with the instruction of a hypnotherapist. Check your local phone book. Or, if you’re a do-it-yourself kind of person, you can learn self-hypnosis from tapes, CDs, DVDs, or books.

An Easy Way To Learn Self Hypnosis

2007-08-11T22:03:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis is a very mysterious channel of healing which is often performed by a trained professional in a clinic setting, yet there are many people who simply cannot afford to do this or who are not comfortable seeing a practitioner in order to have this performed. For those who are so inclined, there is a way to learn self hypnosis and treat oneself at home with the healing effects that can be received in a clinical setting. All it takes is a strong desire to learn and follow instructions and a set amount of time that will be undisturbed in order for concentration to occur. Finding this time can be rather difficult with most people’s busy, hectic schedules, yet with the proper motivation and drive, it can be done.

Simple Steps To Learn Self Hypnosis

The first step when it comes to trying to induce a hypnotic state is to slow down and become relaxed. This is easier said than done, yet it is critical in order to start the hypnotic process. In order to learn self hypnosis, one must have the desire to follow these steps in order to achieve any significant results. First, the relaxation needs to be a deep relaxation in which you let go of any tension or stress and become limp and flexible. This process should not be rushed, as it is crucial to the rest of the exercise. This relaxation may take a few seconds to half an hour depending on how tense or stressed one is. Tensing and releasing certain muscle groups can be helpful with this step.

The next phase to start in order to learn self hypnosis is to deepen the relaxed state. You will not lose consciousness in this state, yet you may feel like you are going to sleep. When this state is achieved, a person will know that they are coming under hypnosis, as they will be watchful yet very calm. Sometimes, this may take a few months, but some people have success their very first try. Counting down from 20 backwards is one way that people begin to drift deeper, as well.

Now, a person is ready for the suggestion application stage in which their subconscious mind is opened up to receive their suggestions. One talks to themselves and tells themselves what they want to do, become, or be. For example, they might say, “I am eating less and losing weight daily.” Sometimes these are called image suggestions because of the images that are conjured in one’s mind during this time. Termination is the final stage in learning self hypnosis in which you want to tell yourself that this is the end of the hypnotic session, and you may possibly count to three in order to bring yourself back. People have used these methods for many years in order to help them think more clearly and overcome many types of addictions as well.

Using Hypnosis Scripts

2007-08-11T22:02:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis scripts are documents that tell you how to change certain aspects about your personality and 'body wants'. For example, you may want to be skinner. However if your body wants more food than you need losing weight will prove difficult.Difficult but not impossible. Hypnosis scripts on weight loss may be what you are looking for.

Hypnosis scripts can also stop smoking by cutting your cravings. If your body no longer wants nicotine or other chemicals found in cigarettes, it will be much easier for you to consciously say no.

Hypnosis scripts can be used to reduce stress, increase energy levels and reduce fear of things such as public speaking. All of the things previously mentioned will help to better yourself with only some time and a little effort.

Hypnosis scripts can be used to increase your energy levels and decrease stress. When your reading a hypnosis script of your picking, be sure to get into a quiet comfortable place. If this is in the room your computer is than great. If your computer room is a mess or is noisy, it is best if you go somewhere neat, tidy and quiet. Reading it in a place that is a mess, or is noisy will damper the effect it has on your sub conscious.

While they may appear to be, persons in a hypnotic state are not sleeping but in a state of alertness. They may be in a deepened state of relaxation, but the mind continues to absorb information and be receptive to images and instruction.

Self hypnosis techniques work well for treating stress and anxiety partly because they teach the body to completely relax. When this happens, the extra hormones that have been reduced subside while your mind is distracted. Some people are even able to use hypnosis in place of drugs for treating their stress, anxiety, or depression.

When you perform self hypnosis, you use positive statements about yourself to counteract the effects of negative thinking or behaviors. It can be coupled with meditation and/or imagery as part of a regular stress management program.

There are actually a lot of ways in which self hypnosis is similar to meditation. You want to choose a time of day when you can sit down and not be disturbed. Place your feet flat on the floor and your arms by your sides on the armrests of the chair, start breathing deeply, allowing the tension of your body to dissipate with each breath.

Once you have done this for a few minutes, allow each body part to relax on its own. You may feel the sensation of sinking more comfortably into the chair. Imagine yourself walking down a staircase, noting the details while you count down from ten to one with each step. Each time you go down, imagine that you are more relaxed, and fall into a deeper state of self hypnosis.

In order to place yourself in an even deeper state of self hypnosis, you can try imagining that you are walking in a garden filled with flowers and greenery. Explore the garden, listening to the birds and the bees, feeling the grass beneath your, and smelling the aroma of the flowers as you go along.

Once you feel that you have reached the deep state of self hypnosis, you can begin the actual treatment phase. Visualize the thing that you wish to achieve and you will do it. For example, if you are a smoker who wishes to quit, picture yourself as a healthy non-smoker and some of the things you will be able to do. If you want to lose weight, picture yourself eating healthier foods and exercise and see yourself becoming thinner.

15 to 30 minutes is a typical session, but you can make the session as long as you would like depending on your needs. For a more successful session, choose a time and a place when you will not be tired and in danger of falling asleep. It is also better to be in a sitting position versus lying down.

With a little practice, this technique can give you the positive reinforcement that you need to see results.

Enhance Your Concentration With Self-Hypnosis

2007-08-11T22:00:00.000-07:00

During recent weeks, the city of Sheffield here in England has been hosting the World Snooker Championships.

Have you ever seen a more hypnotic sport? I know that some people would argue that it just sends them to sleep, though it is extremely hypnotic and at times I have found it to be extremely relaxing and exciting and I am amazed at what those professional players can do with the balls.

Snooker players sum up a lot about what I think you need in life to be successful - they have to practice and practice and practice to get to those levels, they have to be focus on what they want to the exclusion of all else at times, they have to learn from their mistakes and learn from each other. I know you can get metaphors to the same effect from most sports, it is just that this week I was inspired by one particular young man.

The hero of this years tournament, for me, was the losing finalist - a 23 year old man by the name of Mark Selby. They call him 'The Jester from Leicester.' Not only was he wonderfully exciting to watch play snooker... He actually smiles during games!! He has fun, he makes jokes, he entertains, he has a look about him that is extremely endearing and I really warmed to him despite this year being the first time he had broken into the top flight in the Snooker World championships. Mark Selby seemed to really enjoy what he was doing and I find that so inspiring.

What really amazed me was this guy’s stamina too.

First of all, because he was not in the world top 16 rankings prior to this tournament, he did not get an automatic place in the tournament, so he had to qualify with several matches. In the first round, he came from 5-0 down, to win 10-7. In the second round he beat former world champion Peter Ebdon, having trailed 6-2, he won 13-8. In the quarter finals he won 13-12 in a last frame decider. Then in the semi final, he beat another former world champion Shaun Murphy in a gruelling match, having trailed for much of it, 17-16!! A last frame decider again. Each of these games were hours long and the individual frames were often going on for very long times. The final, which he lost to John Higgins 18-13 went on until the early hours of the morning!

Wow. To maintain that level of mental endurance and concentration for such intense, pressurised lengthy periods of time is just incredible.

I get asked very frequently about how we can increase our powers of focus and concentration and so this week I thought I would a simple self-hypnosis technique with you to help you do just that. This technique today can also be used for all manner of things including stress reduction,

Here is a simple technique to help you keep focused for longer periods of time.

Step One: Be in a place where you are not going to be disturbed for a while. Get yourself comfortable, with your arms and legs uncrossed. Then just focus on the moment, notice what thoughts you are thinking, notice the sensation of stillness and the rhythm of your body and just be an observer of your experience for a few moments. Just observe yourself existing in that moment, without interfering with it at all. Then take a slightly deeper breath and exhale slowly while closing your eyes.

Imagine that you can feel gravity pulling you to whatever it is you are resting on. Feel your body being supported. Tune in to the moment and feel how it feels to just relax and observe how and who you are at this moment.

Step Two: Now bring your awareness in and concentrate on your breathing. Notice the parts of your body that move as you breathe in and out. Notice the wonder of your breath, be aware of the temperature of it - maybe it feels cooler when you breathe in and warmer as your breathe out.

Imagine that each breath is going deeper. That does not have to be a bigger or a larger breath, just a breath that relaxes you while you are keeping your awareness on it. Be sure at this stage to just let your breath happen without you interfering with it. Keep doing this for a little while as you notice your body relaxing around you and your mind slowing down, yet keeping your awareness on your breath - if your mind wanders, then just keep bringing it back.

Step Three: As you feel more relaxed, noticing the rhythm of your breathing, maybe it slows down slightly. Allow your breath now to move to other parts of your body. Imagine breathing in to muscles and parts of your body and releasing them, relaxing them and imagine the muscles softening and the nerves in those muscles just becoming still and quiet. Not having to do anymore than is absolutely necessary.

Step Four: When you are sure that you have sufficiently relaxed your body and are still focusing on your breathing, now move your awareness to your mind. This is where the key to this technique exists.

Using your imagination, imagine that in front of you is a clear glass jar. The jar is clear, it is clean, even shiny and it is well and truly empty. Really imagine details of the jar, the textures, the way light reflects off it, the top and bottom of it, what kind of lid it has - really get a good idea in your mind of how this jar is.

As you have been doing, observe yourself now. While you continue to observe yourself, imagine that unscrew the lid of the jar and remove it for now.

Look closely at this empty jar, become aware that it is waiting to be filled. Imagine it inviting you to put something inside. So this is your chance to let go of any burdens, any distractions, any unwanted thoughts and aspects of routines from your day. Whether they were generated by your activities, your work, any tasks you are wanting to perform, any errands, your travels, your apprehensions, any anxieties, your cares, any discomfort you may be experiencing or any other thing.

Observe carefully now as one by one you place them into the jar. Imagine that your mind pours it all from inside of you and places it into that jar. Continue now to fill the jar with any remaining distractions, burdens or unwanted thoughts or feelings.

You can have fun here and be creative. Maybe you can imagine a string of things pouring out from you, or a cloud with all these things inside, all travelling into the jar. Empty it all out in to the jar.

Step Five: Carefully and deliberately now, replace the lid on the jar. Give the lid one extra turn.

Breathe deeply now and observe that you stand and begin to carry the jar toward a door. Open the door. Outside, on the front step is a large shiny aluminum trash can. Open its lid now and place your jar inside,... Know that you may dispose of it now and forever.., or return for it at another time, if you wish.... Put the lid back on the trash can... turn from it... walk back through the door. Lock the door and return to your chair.

Affirm with yourself something along the lines of "I have true clarity of thought and supreme concentration and nothing can interfere with it until I have achieved ___________" Or something along those lines, using language that appeals to you and resonates with you of course.

Imagine that you have a focused vision, a level of concentration and focus now that is going to serve you really well with whatever you want to begin focusing on now. Feel it, experience it, imagine brimming over with this track of your mind and imagine generating a state of being within yourself... feel prepared to really be this way.

Step 6: Bring your awareness once again to your breathing and notice its rhythm, pace and depth. Tune in to the moment that you are in once again.

Become aware of your toes and fingers, give them a wiggle or two and then open your eyes.

Hold your body in the way you would when you are focused. Hold your thoughts in a way that says "I am focused" and go about your day or the upcoming task or whatever it may be in a truly focused fashion. Spend some time getting yourself really focused and engaged in something that you wish to achieve and notice how much more you excel!

Why It's Critical to Learn Secret Hypnosis

2007-08-11T21:59:00.000-07:00

Secret hypnosis is nothing more than getting others to accept and act on your ideas, feeling as they were the ones that generated the ideas in the first place. Can you see the usefulness of this skill somewhere in your life? What would it be like if you were able to get others to immediately comply with your wishes and desires?

So many times in life, we see people trying to convince others with something akin to beating them over the head with a club. While this archaic method will sometimes still work, we live in more sophisticated society, and most people are simply to aware of the persuasion tactics of years gone by for them to work with any consistency in the new millennium.

Secret hypnosis is anything but forceful; those who have been persuaded by the astute master of secret hypnosis don’t even have a clue that they’ve been influenced. We all like to feel like we are in control of our lives. When we can persuade others to think, act or behave in a particular way, and allow them to have the feeling of being in complete control, we are light years ahead of those who don’t.

There’s no shortage of books, videos and audio programs that can quickly teach you how to use secret hypnosis to increase your income, meet the man or woman of your dreams, or just about anything else you might desire. Will you make the decision to change your life with secret hypnosis?

Use Self-Hypnosis To Be Free Of Allergies

2007-08-11T21:57:00.000-07:00

I was speaking to friend recently who told me that as we were experiencing the hottest month of April on record and Summer was drawing ever closer, she could feel her hay fever coming earlier than usual this year. She was bunged up, sniffing and snuffling along as she spoke.

Without giving too much thought to it, as the conversation went on I made a few unusual references to things… chatting about when we were at school together:

“I can remember my parents old house when we were first starting at secondary school, I would open the front door into a large uncongested hallway and I remember always seeing the curtains at the far end flapping and expanding from a strong breeze that was blowing in through an open window, my Mum used to love having the windows open… whenever I want to feel relaxed, I often remind myself of how I can feel less congested, more open, like a breeze flowing through me, whenever I remember how I used to feel then. Do you remember that house? …..”

The idea was that while my friend was receptive to me during our conversation, I wanted to get all kinds of imagery into her mind that was going to be a relief from the expected and anticipated negative notion that she was getting her hay fever symptoms earlier this year. When she left me, she was sniffing a lot less!

Self-hypnosis and hypnotherapy are not necessarily always an all-out cure for allergies, though I have seen some amazing things happen with their use. Of course, first of all, I recommend seeing a doctor and taking a conventional treatment route – you know I have to say that.

I have found that when dealing with an allergy of any kind, when you get your imagination working for you for the better, then you are more likely to start taking control of your symptoms.

I want to share with you a really good technique to help you with the process of using your mind to overcome allergies.

Follow these few simple steps:

Step One: First up then, be in a place where you are not going to be disturbed, get yourself relaxed and concentrate on your breathing. Use any technique that you can to get yourself relaxed and then into a receptive trance-like state. Ideally, go and get a copy of my self-hypnosis book and learn how to really get yourself into a deep state. Tune in to your breathing, engage in the moment and become aware of what you notice – by that, I mean notice the thoughts you are thinking, sense your sensations and just observe yourself in this moment. Then imagine drifting deep inside your mind.

Step Two: Having spent a good period of time to get yourself at ease and receptive of mind, imagine now that your mind is scanning through your body. Heighten your awareness of your body.

Especially become aware of areas that that are always free from allergy. Notice the qualities of those areas, how do they feel and seem to you? What are the qualities of these parts of you? Then examine parts that are or have been affected by allergies currently or in the past. Make a contrastive analysis of the two. Compare them as much as you can ands of course become as acutely aware of the differences in those parts.

Think about the tiniest of changes that used to happen when you were experiencing your allergy.

This might sound a bit crazy… Do your best to simulate or imagine in your mind the feeling or signal of your old allergy symptoms coming on. Examine the imagined feelings of those allergy symptoms beginning, then feel it recede. Capturing the sense of, or prelude to, an oncoming allergy symptom is a self-hypnosis technique that is far more useful than the kinds of things many people do when they first sense them – like acknowledging the symptoms and then expecting to have a Summer full of a stuffed up nose and watery eyes, like my friend that I mentioned earlier for example.

Use your imagination to control those oncoming sensations and move them away from you, let them abate, imagine them easing off. Like you are stopping them at the root, at their genesis.

Practice doing this for a little while… Be in control of the symptoms - Feel these precursors, senses, or signals of old allergic symptoms and then pushing them away is teaching your mind how to be in control of that old allergic reaction, isn’t it? Do this step for as much time as you feel you need to really get it mastered.

Step Three: With this step, you want to use your imagination and suggestions to yourself for changing your perception of the substances or situations that used to trigger your allergic reaction. Naturally, we want to change the way you react to these triggers.

For example, you can change your perception of shaggy dogs to short haired, tidier looking dogs. Maybe you imagine dried, cut grass turning into shredded paper. Or how about dust turning into fresh water spray?

In this receptive state, you want your brain and body to respond to the old reactive thing that you used to have a allergy of - in the same way that it responds to things that you are at ease being around.

While in this receptive, relaxed state, you might imagine a particular type of flower and then see it change—just as the seasons can change—into a different plant. It may turn into a different flower or it may transform into pieces of tissue paper. Change it into anything that frees you from the old allergic response. Practice with new perceptions, new colours, calming more than tensing, and relaxing more than ever.

Spend a few minutes working on these kinds of suggestions and imagery to successfully begin the process of decoding in your mind.

What you are doing here is getting to work on preventing allergic reactions to substances by creating new triggers of your own – ones that you can use in the future when you encounter those substances. So that your brain and body react to those old things in a new way! .

Step Four: Finally, just go through everything that you have done again. Recap everything during this period of time you have spent inside your mind. Imagine that by thinking it all through again, you reinforce the changes inside your mind.

Then, once you are sure that you have absorbed all you need from this session, take a nice deep breath, open your eyes and go about your business, whatever that might be. I recommend that you go and do some different activity straight away. The content of this time inside your mind is going to be far more effective if you don’t try to consciously analyse it. Allow your unconscious mind to process what it has done at the deeper level and you can simply enjoy the results.

You may notice feeling more calm and feeling more control over your old allergies in the first few weeks of daily practice. Remember to set reasonable goals for yourself. A long suffered problem often takes time to correct.

Remember that your progress will depend on your motivation to practice, the severity of your old allergic reaction and the level of belief you have in yourself.

Be patient with yourself. Nurture and encourage yourself regularly – the same way you would nurture and encourage a loved one. People that have had allergies have possibly suffered with it for a long time, they often expect it to carry on happening in the same way and so it does… just carry on happening the same way. That is a lot of programming to overcome. You are now investing in long-term relief and exploring the amazing power that you truly have when you learn to use your mind. Often, the longer someone has endured an allergic reaction, the more embedded the allergic reaction may have become. It takes time for some to erase this pattern—but it is not indelible.

How To Hypnotize Someone Easily

2007-08-11T21:56:00.000-07:00

Learning how to hypnotize someone can be a very valuable tool. Hypnosis has been around for centuries and used for many purposes from healing to success to phychological therapy. Hypnotherapists use hypnosis to hypnotize their patients and get often get outstanding results.

Hypnotism is most commonly used in therapuetic practices. Hypnotherapists help solve many common day problems through verbal suggestion. The key concept to hypnosis is relaxation. Relaxation allows a person to move from a wide awake perspective in to an alpha state where the brain takes in great amounts of information yet the body remains calm. The trick to learning how to hypnotize someone easily is by getting them to this alpha state.

Sleep walking and sleep talking are also kind of in the same realm as hypnosis. It is in the grey area between being wide awake and dead asleep. People also use hypnosis to create success in their life and wealth. Today's entrepenuers study hypnosis in order to get what they want from people without them knowing they are doing so. You may see hypnosis in writing also. Certain authors have been found that the words they use created brainwave patterns in those who read their books equivelent to those created by hypnotherapists. Whichever way you decide to use hypnosis, remember that you are dealing with someone at a very vulnerable state, and should take this in to consideration when learning how to hypnotize someone so you don't cause any harm.

You Are Not In My Power

2007-08-11T21:45:00.000-07:00

Fear can prevent people from taking positive action. One of the greatest difficulties in my practice is dispelling all the misconceptions they have about hypnosis. Too many people are locked into a late night movie understanding of hypnosis. They believe that a person who is hypnotized is under the power of the hypnotist and have lost their free will. Furthermore they believe they may never “wake up” from their hypnotic state. When an embarrassing question is asked, they are certain they will blurt out the truth about that weekend in Syracuse with the Tampa Bay cheerleaders. If you had these beliefs, would you allow someone to guide you into a hypnotic state? This is why the pre-talk before my inductions is so important.

For those of you who have not been hypnotized, I hope this little column will alleviate all your misgivings. For those of you who have been hypnotized by an experienced practitioner, you already know how misunderstood the trance state is. The mind model I will discuss comes from the teachings of Gerald Kein of Omni Hypnosis who is undoubtedly one of the best hypnosis instructors in the world today.

The mind is divided into three separate parts, the unconscious mind, the conscious mind and the subconscious mind. The unconscious mind takes care of your heart beating, your immune system and reflexes like blinking. You never even have to think about the unconscious mind.

The conscious mind is divided into four general parts, the rational mind, the analytical mind, the working memory and will power. The rational mind attempts to put all the events of life into an appropriate perspective. However our lives have gone forward from infancy taking all our actions and rationalizing them.

The analytical mind is used when an obstacle comes into our path. Perhaps your baby sitter will not be able to watch the children at the last moment and you have to make alternative plans. Your analytical mind goes through alternatives that will allow you to have the least difficulty. The analytical mind is great for that.

The working or short-term memory is available to you at a moment’s notice. This memory allows you to recall family names, how to get to work or the store as well as the simple everyday things that are useful to surviving every day.

The last part of the conscious mind that I want to discuss is will power. We are all familiar with this part of our being. How many times have you told yourself you were going to stop smoking or biting your fingernails only to go right back to it.

What is not clearly understood by most people is the fact that the conscious mind is merely the tip of the iceberg. It is what everyone can see from the surface, but just as the Titanic discovered it is what is below the surface that can cause the ship to sink. The iceberg has been created by collecting bits of ice and debris from its travels. The subconscious mind is similar. Every event in your life has an effect on you as a person. The effect can be momentarily profound and fade away, or it can seem incredibly incidental and have long lasting consequences. You can never know until you explore beneath the waterline and see the full scope of its structure.

Though it is not evident, the subconscious mind sculpts you into the person you become. It takes the totality of your life’s experiences and molds your destiny. The subconscious mind never forgets anything. Every sound, smell, pain, pleasure and sensation you have had is recorded deep within the subconscious mind can be extracted with the right approach.

The subconscious mind deals with emotions as well. When an emotion is brought about by an event on the conscious level, the subconscious springs into action causing you to react in ways you have no clear understanding of. We all have emotions and dealing with them is not an easy thing to do. They reside at the subconscious level.

Another element of the subconscious mind is the domain of habits. Habits can be positive, negative or neutral, but they do exist. Smoking, overeating, and reading are habits that are established over time. To this day, I habitually stop at bookstores even when I have four books I have not read. So you can see not all habits are detrimental to our lives.

An important factor of the subconscious mind is the fact that it must protect us from dangers real and imaginary. As you sleep, you may well wake up in a sweat, your heart racing and out of breath. In your dream, you may have visualized a giant cucumber that attempts to eat you. You subconscious mind cannot differentiate between real and imaginary danger and the dream supplies your body with adrenaline to fuel an escape. This protective aspect of the subconscious mind can become engaged after an event while conscious.

To prevent the repetition of psychic pain, a horrendous event in our lives can be buried in the subconscious. This sort of landmine can be devastating if it metaphorically explodes at the wrong time. Even if it never explodes, it can serve as a type of speed bump that pops up and affects the path of our life.

The subconscious mind does not accept change easily. It likes to maintain the status quo. When a suggestion for positive change is made, the suggestion must go through the conscious level. At this level it is being evaluated by what is the known as the critical factor of the conscious mind. If it fails, all we have available to make the change is our will power. We must go beneath the surface of the conscious mind and get to the subconscious. That is what hypnosis does.

Hypnosis is bypassing the critical factor of the conscious mind for the establishment of selective positive thinking. After bypassing the critical factor, the mind has to make one of four choices to determine if the suggestion will be accepted or rejected. The person who is hypnotized determines which choice is made.

Should a person say, “I love this suggestion, I know it is going to work,” the change will begin instantly and be locked in. If they have a doubt about it, the suggestion will be rejected. If they are apathetic about the suggestion, it will have no power and disappear. Should they determine, they “hope” it will work, they accept the assured failure that comes from trying or attempting something without being certain of success.

The hypnotist has no control over the choices that are made. The hypnotist is merely guiding the client on a journey, but they must go together. It can be a wonderful journey full of discovery and wonder, but the client can always leave at any point. Hypnosis is an entirely consensual act between the hypnotist and their client. The client is always in control.

Do Silent Subliminals Exist? Would You Ever Know?!

2007-08-11T21:44:00.000-07:00

Fred Allen once said, “An advertising agency is eight-five percent confusion and fifteen percent commission.” We are exposed to hundreds of commercials every day. Despite this mammoth exposure, we often do not actually notice or focus on them. Commercials seem to seep quietly into the back room of our consciousness. Unnoticed and tacitly approved, commercials socialize and condition us without our knowledge. Provocative subliminal advertising is designed to influence and motivate consumers to purchase particular services or products. These are messages camouflaged within the commercials below the threshold of awareness.

Does this means there is no silent subliminal anywhere in the media? Not possible. In a country as large as the United States with so many ambitious, creative, and even slippery characters, it seems highly likely that a handful of marketers subliminally embed sexy messages in commercials. They could accomplish this by airbrushing or using high-powered video editing techniques. What's more some communications like rock songs and motivational audiotapes probably contain short messages that lie below the limit of conscious awareness. Hence, the key question is: what impact do silent subliminal messages have consumers’ behavior or attitudes?

The first evidence of subliminal advertising effects came in 1950s on the effects of "Drink Coca-Cola" and "Eat Popcorn" messages. At the time, the study seemed to suggest that silent subliminal could potently shape human behavior. However when researched peeled beneath the surface, the theory had serious flaws. There was absolutely no way of knowing whether cinemagoers bought Cokes and more popcorn because they were hungry and thirty that particular day. It was even possible that the film itself stimulated sales; for it was named "Picnic" and showed several scenes of people enjoying refreshments. Expectation obviously has powerful influence on social behavior, and perhaps humans want to believe in “What You See Is Not What You Get.”

Start Using Hypnotic Influence In 10 Minutes

2007-08-11T21:34:00.000-07:00

What if you could walk into a meeting, start your presentation and in less than three minutes have everybody riveted to your every word, following along and doing whatever you want from them -- would you feel great about learning these skills?

But... no matter what you think, once you know how it's done, you'll realize it's really easy. All you need is to follow three simple rules and you'll become at least 40 times more persuasive then you are right now...

Rule #1: Establish rapport

The first thing you should do is establish rapport with your audience (whether you're talking to one or five thousand people). This means you have to put them at ease, make them feel comfortable and establish a feeling of connection between you and them.

This can be fairly easily achieved. One important thing you can do is to come on stage, or wherever, completely confident, as if you know every single part of that place (note: don't make it look like you own the place -- it could be perceived as arrogant!). The more at ease you are, the more your audience will pick it up and start feeling that way.

You can establish a sense of connection by saying something like "Dear friends, we came here today to ...". The important thing is that you make it seem as if you and them are together in this and are essentially the same. You can also quickly quote some things you know for a fact that your audience agrees with wholeheartedly -- this will give them a sense that you think like them and they will unconsciously lower their defences.

You should always project that you're there as a part of the like-minded group on some level.

Rule #2: Captivation

After you've established rapport, you have to captivate your audience. This will induce a trance-like state where they will be much more inclined to follow along and to use their imagination -- an important part of the hypnotic experience.

You can captivate your audience by playing on their curiosity or by telling and interesting story. Be very detailed in your descriptions. Ask questions like "What if I told you we found a way to (add a beneficial end result)" or "Have you ever (describe a feeling you want them to feel". You can also start with a sentence like "What you're about to hear is top secret. Only a handful of people have this information...".

These will all make them much more responsive.

Rule #3: Leading

Once you have rapport and you've captivated your listeners, you can begin to lead their imagination. People will almost never do something that they haven't previously "played" in their mind and felt good about it.

So... your job is to paint a clear picture of what you want them to do (the end result!) and suggest what good feelings accompany it. If you can somehow contrast what it would be like if they haven't done what you said and suggest negative feelings with it, you have an almost guaranteed success. You must have an end result in your mind from the beginning and focus on achieving it.

Time distortion is a great tool to use here. If you can get your audience to imagine having already done what you want them to do and feel good about it, you'll almost certainly get a favorable result!

Make sure that at the end of your presentation, you give a call to action. If you forget this, you'll get far worse results than you could have. This could be as simple as asking them to do what you want right now.

Hope that this short article gave you an idea of how powerful covert hypnosis, as we like to call this art, is and got you imagining all sorts of things you can do with such powerful knowledge, from getting a date or persuading your friends to do what you want, to achieving a higher level at selling and charisma.

Covert hypnosis is a collection of techniques and strategies to change people's minds in a completely unconscious way. It's a powerful tool to have.

Does Subliminal Learning Really Work?

2007-08-11T21:32:00.000-07:00

he nation was shocked, make that shocked.

Minds have been "broken and entered," the New Yorker (Sept 21, 1957) published.

The National Association of Broadcasters forbade its members from using subliminal commercials.

One fanatical writer, Wilson Bryan Key, claimed that subconscious stimuli were everywhere! He proclaimed, “You cannot pick up a newspaper, magazine, or pamplet, hear radio, or view television anywhere in North America without being assaulted subliminally.” Key pronounced that commercials for liquor, cigarettes, and perfume contained deliberately inserted erotic images that caused people to march off and buy these products, like the brainwashed zombies from a horror movie.

So that bodes well for using subliminal messages for learning.

After all, if something is so powerful it's been banned from covert use, that's got to be good.

The good news about using subliminal learning is that it's easy. You can put the subliminal messages underneath any track you care to use, especially if you create your own custom subliminals using the easy methods available online. Some people go even further and listen to the messages while they sleep, thus using the 8 or so hours every day that would otherwise be wasted.

Subliminals are available "off the shelf" for such things as weight loss, increased confidence and a multitude of other common things.

To use subliminals for learning, I'd suggest creating your own custom program. Get hold of the audio version of the book you want to learn, change the volume and record it over the top of one of your favorite CDs. Burn yourself a new copy with the subliminal learning included. Then listen to it. Simple, huh?

Self Hypnosis Memory Improvement - Concentration, Retention, Recall

2007-08-11T21:29:00.000-07:00

Think about this for a moment. As you sit there and read this expose, bits and pieces of information are coming in through your sense of sight. But you are also hearing sounds, sensing bodily feelings like the force of your seat against your butt and back, the touch of the clothing on your body, and the air temperature and movement on your skin. You are also in receipt of information through your nose in the form of smells. And of course, you're taking in information in the form of a variety of tastes in your mouth.

And how about the emotional feelings that you are currently experiencing? That is also information that you're currently processing. We reside in an information intensive world. Thanks to the Internet, almost everything and anything that you might want to know is only a few clicks of the mouse away.

I recently read an editorial that said that even in a serene and peaceful atmosphere, we are bombarded by sixty thousand stimuli per second. And that is occurring sixty seconds out of every minute, and sixty minutes out of every hour. And it goes on twenty-four hours a day, seven days a week, week in and week out for our entire life.

And happens to be a big part of the crisis. We are all being subjected to "information overload." And that makes it very difficult to memorize all of the information that we want to remember or need to recall.

Quite often, as we are reading, we find that our eyes have been traversing the words on the page, while our conscious mind has been off somewhere else on a tangent. When we get to the bottom of the page, we become aware of the fact that our eyes have seen the words, but we have no conscious recollection of what we've just read. That is because our mind has been somewhere else mulling over a problem, or working out a plan.

Today it's an every day occurrence to hear even young people state things like, "I'm having a senior moment." No matter what your age, and whether you are a student, part of the labor, or a retired person, you know what I'm talking about. In our wild world it is all too often extremely difficult to focus your concentration.

SO WHICH OF THE FOLLOWING SCENARIOS IS YOUR PROBLEM?

A. Your mind starts to meander as you study, and then all of a sudden you appreciate that you don't possess the slightest idea what you've been reading.

B. When you are in a social situation and you are introduced to new contacts, you forget their names as rapidly as you hear them.

C. You recall that you have a job to do in another room; but as soon as you start walking in the direction of the other room you totally forget what that task is.

D. You are able to stay alert and absorb new information. But when you take an examination, "Test Anxiety" overcomes you and causes a mental block, and you aren't able to remember the answers to the questions on the test that you really know.

The main cause of a person's incapacity to focus their concentration is stress. And the main cause of a mental block to recall is also stress. So it stands to reason that the more relaxed a person is, the better they will be able to focus their concentration, absorb information, and then be able to recall it at a later date.

Today, hypnosis and memory enhancement has become a hot topic. That is partially because hypnosis is an excellent instrument for triggering relaxation. In fact, the very essence of the hypnotic state is relaxation. And as the mind becomes peaceful, the ability to stay focused increases. Similarly, a serene mind increases the aptitude to retain information, and recollect it when it is needed.

Hypnotic memory improvement is a fantastic modality for eliminating test anxiety and mental blocks. There are several hypnotic techniques that can be used to program a person with a positive expectation of relaxation, self-assurance, and success while taking exams.

Anyone can take a course on how to apply hypnosis quickly and economically in the privacy of their own home by ordering hypnosis CD's. It is easy to locate further information on hypnosis to enhance memory and recall in the Hypnosis Research Library located on my website.

Get More Done with Hypnotic Confidence

2007-08-11T21:28:00.000-07:00

The famous motivational speaker Brian Tracy once said, “Every year, everyone has at least three ideas, that if it were to be followed through, would make them a multi-millionaire.” I’m sure you’re already thinking, “If that’s true, why aren’t more people millionaires?” The answer is simple; people lack the confidence to pursue the ideas they generate. While it’s true that ordinary “run of the mill” confidence would be better than nothing, hypnotic confidence is the difference between those who just think about it, and those who get it done.

Hypnotic confidence, by definition, is the feeling absolute power that comes from knowing that you have the ability to get the people you’ll need to bring your ideas to life to say “YES!” When you know that you can present your ideas to others in a way that captivates and excites them, keeping their mind racing long after they’ve climbed in bed at night, you will have what is known as hypnotic confidence.

Hypnotic communication is the cornerstone of hypnotic confidence; it is what allows you to bypass any resistance that others might have had, and reach that deeper part of them that makes them feel alive. There are language patterns that can quickly be learned to win others to your way of thinking, easily and effortlessly. If you have ever had one of those great ideas, one of those that a part of you “knew” could lift you out of a mediocre lifestyle and into the kinds of experiences you’ve always dreamed about, I urge you to begin collecting books, videos and audio programs on hypnotic communication. Doing so can help you double or triple your income next year. There is a danger however; if you don’t learn how to begin communicating hypnotically, you’ll probably stay in the same income bracket for years. Make today the day that you decide to take your ability to persuade to the next level, and you’ll soon know the feeling of hypnotic confidence.

Vince Harris is a professional speaker, trainer and consultant who uses the power of hypnotic language patterns for not only teaching others to communicate more powerfully, but to do so himself. To find out more about the secrets of hypnotic language go to http://www.hypnoticconfidence.com

Self-Hypnosis To Open Your Heart

2007-08-11T21:26:00.000-07:00

I want to offer you a technique, a simple one for you to use to help to open your heart to life, love and all those other things that from time to time we tend to close ourselves off from.

This technique guides you into a deeper awareness of your own heart. Using a range of different applications throughout this technique, the aim is to increase awareness and energy in the heart. The idea is that this increased energy makes us feel secure and safe within ourselves and not needing to close off, hide or protect our heart from life in any way.

Ok, so simple follow these simple steps:

Step One: Get your body in a comfortable position and in a place where you are going to be undisturbed. Take a slightly deeper breath and hold it in for a couple of seconds, then as you let it out, let it nice and slowly and allow your eyes to close at the same time.

The idea in step one is to get your mind and body into a receptive state. Of course, I recommend you go read my book on Self-Hypnosis for the best way to do this. Alternatively, use whatever trance inducing method, relaxation method or mediation technique that you prefer.

Let your body relax, imagine the muscles softening. Engage in the moment – by that I mean that you notice your thoughts, notice what you are seeing in your mind, notice what sounds you are hearing and the various sensations in your body. Keep breathing nice and gently and slowly and allow your body’s natural systems to trigger the relaxation mode within you. Take as much time as you feel is necessary to get yourself really nice and relaxed and in a receptive state of mind.

Step Two: With each breath that you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing directly into the centre of your heart. As unusual as this may sound, imagine that you are breathing into the area right in the middle of your chest. As you breathe in, really connect and tune in to that breath and feel your breath come directly into your heart.

Begin to feedback to yourself. By that, I mean you tell yourself, using your internal dialogue what the first thing is that you are aware of as the breath comes into the heart? Advise yourself of what it is that you actually feel. Let yourself know consciously what you notice as the breath comes into the heart? Just continue to tune into your breath, and as you do become more and more aware of your heart, connect with it.

Step Three: As you breathe in, imagine that you are breathing in a light of your favourite colour, maybe a golden glowing colour or a colour that you feel safe with and that resonates well with you. With each breath that you inhale, experience, sense and imagine that light coming into your chest. Imagine creating a reservoir of this light in your chest area.

With your conscious mind, continue to follow this light in with each breath and feel it come all the way into your heart. Feel, imagine and sense your chest beginning to fill with light. Imagine that the light is just right for you, the right feeling, the right temperature, feeling safe, comfortable and secure in whatever way is best for you. Just spend some time very gently, filling your chest with this wonderful pleasing light.

Trust your unconscious mind here. Imagine and trust that this light has all the healing knowledge and wisdom of your unconscious mind within it. So, as the light comes into your chest there is a sense of a healing touch upon your heart.

As you become more aware of your heart, really tuning in to it, you may also become aware of places in your heart that are protected, closed, or wounded.

While you are breathing in that light, you can allow yourself to become aware of places in the heart that may be closed. We all tend to have places of armoring in and around the heart, places that seem to shy away from the light as it enters. Be aware of any of these places that seem tight and be aware if there are none.

As babies, we came into this life totally open, totally vulnerable, and totally alive. Your body and mind have experienced being open before.

Throughout our lives, for whatever reasons, these innocent trusting hearts of our much younger selves had experiences that maybe taught us to fear or to close down. You might find that you remember some of these experiences that taught your heart to protect itself; that made you in some way feel like the world was not safe for an open heart. If so, just let those thoughts come and go naturally without lingering on them, just let your mind process them without you giving them too much thought.

Step Four: Continue, as we have done throughout this exercise, to breathe into your heart. Breathe in that lovely light. As you breathe in, be aware of some of the armoring, for the heart carries with it the memories of a lifetime.

Let the light continue to illuminate any places of darkness, of tightness, of numbness or anywhere that might be closed. Keep breathing gently.

Whatever you experience or see just let it happen and let it pass without conscious involvement. Now trust yourself and let your own heart now reveal to you some place in your heart where healing is needed. Let your own heart show you this place and know you are available for healing in your heart. Trust the wisdom of your own heart and let it show you this place. As you breathe in, breathe right into this place in your heart.

Step Five: As you continue all the time breathing into your heart with the light, be aware of any ways in which your heart may have given up, any ways in which your heart may have shut down or closed down in order to protect itself. You see, in opening your heart to love, you must open your heart up to all of life, and in doing so you must be willing to take risks. Sometimes you may experience pain and disappointment. This is something that when you choose to accept it and no longer fear it, allows you to experience such liberation and allow you to get so much more from your regular experience of life – without an open heart, the richly rewarding things happening in my life would not be anywhere near as amazing as they are.

You could end this exercise there and proceed to step seven. However, if you really want to take this to another level, follow this additional step.

Step Six: Now in your mind, allow an image to arrive. Place in your mind an imagine of the face of a person who in this lifetime - past or present - has been a great teacher of the heart, maybe a person living or dead from whom you have been able to receive love. See their face now sitting just a few feet in front of you. In your imagination, look up and you see their eyes looking into your eyes and remember what it feels like to be seen by these eyes that loved you in this way. As you breathe in, feel their presence right here with you in the place you are in and remember what it feels like to be in the presence of this person who loved you in this way.

Now begin speaking to them. Speak out from your heart; holding nothing back. Tell them what is in your heart at this very moment; feel their presence there with you and let the words flow out of your heart like a river. Speak to them and say whatever is true and present in your heart at this moment. As you listen now, you can hear their voice. Remember the sound of that voice. They are speaking to you. They have come today to bring an important message... a message that your heart needs to hear. Listen and receive the message and take this message right into your heart.

Now you see that this face is being joined by other faces, one by one, lots of faces of people of this lifetime, past and present, living and dead, who have loved you, who have been a part of the fabric of your heart and your life. They are all joining you now. You see their faces begin to appear one by one.

You may receive these messages and bring them into your heart, and there will be some to whom you may wish to say things from your heart. You speak these words to their faces as they appear.

Imagine that these beings gather in a circle around you. They form a circle of love, a circle of healing, and some of them reach down their hands to touch you and you feel surrounded and held by their love. Then, you could even imagine one or more of these beings begin cradling you, cradling you and rocking you and feel yourself being held, nurtured and reassured.

Step Seven: Finally then, in your imagination, see an image of your own heart at this moment. Feel your heart. Breathe into your heart. Breathe light into your heart. Let your own heart speak to you now. Receive the wisdom of your own heart. It may be in words. It may be a feeling. Open and receive the wisdom of your heart. Imagine that your heart is open and truly feel the fullness of your being.

Whenever you feel you are ready to do so, you then just open your eyes and allow yourself to be relaxed and become aware of your surroundings and go about your day and your life with an open heart and feel how wonderful it feels. Really take some time out to invest in yourself and open your heart to love, life and the world around you and really notice what a difference in makes to every aspect of your life.

How To Hypnotize Fast

2007-08-11T21:25:00.000-07:00

People always border me with questions like "how to hypnotize fast", though at times this might look confusing because hypnosis means different things to many people. Hypnosis is not all about saying words, a method of standing or looking in a hypnotic way. The fact about how to hypnotize is someone who knows that you want to hypnotize him or her. I am going to talk deep about one of the methods of how to hypnotize fast and the other methods you will need one of my favorite hypnotist to learn that. This method is called The Reinforcement Style. Here it involves three steps which are :

1) Explaining the way you feel in a hypnotic state.

2) Command the person you want to hypnotize to produce them.

3) As soon as your client start to produce them reply with commending words like thats fine, its ok etc.

Ask your client to produce the signs of trance, as he is doing it monitor and see where he does it well, once you notice a spot where the hypnosis is done well commend him by saying thats fine. Do this style facing your client, make him open his eyes if he so wishes or he can close them if he wants to. If finally the decision is for your client to open his eyes, though its preferable for your client to open their eyes to enable you hypnotize him fast. Tell him to focus far into his mind, that is to think deep into his mind, be in the same posture as your client is and also start breathing exactly at the exact rate he is breathing. Monitor your client closely and see that you are getting the rate at which he is breathing even though not the exact rate.

I have something in mind, let's quit this hypnosis and return later, theirs something i want to get straight. I want to tell you stuffs that bring about hypnosis after am through with it we will return to our usual state of mind. This is made to give you an insight of what hypnosis is all about and after that we will continue the hypnosis, make your client respond ok in a deep way.

Begin with eyes open and when they are weak and need to close them, let him do it. It is normal for you to lose the desire to move because you are in a comfortable mode. Wait for an affirmation message to proceed, after you say begin, reproduce as many signs of hypnosis as you can with your eyes open. This has the capability to make you hypnotize fast, as soon as the signs of hypnosis begins to appear tell your client commending messages like your are doing good, thats excellent. They are two signs that will occur which are : His shoulder will begin to contract thats good and his breathing slow down thats normal and the face relaxes thats excellent, continue for 5 minutes and count them out.

Ask them what they experienced while you were hypnotizing them, like - whats it like? and wait for a response . Perfecting to hypnotize fast is a kind of skill, it gets deeper and faster the more time you do it. They are certain answers those that wants to hypnotize fast always want to know, whats the best inductions, best song and best food for hypnosis to act fast? It varies from people to people and as i said in the beginning what may be good for A might not be good for B. Fast hypnosis is like a conversation, is like you tell you client something and he does it instantly without complaining. Some client usually have the problem of their eyes popping open while you are hypnotizing them, normally its supposed to be close. You may fail while doing every possible best to make their eyes close and still it wont. Thats hypnosis for me it doesn't work with everybody.

Finally, I hope you enjoyed this summary of how to hypnotize fast, if you want to learn deeper into how to hypnotize fast i recommend a hypnotist i have known over the years who teaches people how to hypnotize, his hypnosis techniques can be used to quit smoking, control the mind and also weight loss, for more information visit How to Hypnotize Fast. Thanks for reading.

Can You Be Hypnotized?

2007-08-11T21:14:00.001-07:00

A person's susceptibility to hypnosis is dependent on several factors. Whether these factors work together or oppose each other is entirely in the hands of the individual.

There are factors that are outside of anyone's control. They come down to the individual makeup of each person. For instance, if someone is naturally susceptible to suggestion in their everyday life, they likely will carry along that susceptibility in the hypnosis process as well. Everyone is susceptible to some degree, but this is one of the variable that will contribute to a person’s likelihood of achieving hypnosis easily.

But there are varying degrees of depth of hypnosis, and hypnotherapy doesn’t require a deep state of hypnosis. It can be beneficial at varying levels of depth. The self hypnosis CDs and downloads that I have produced are designed to take someone from a completely awake state into some degree of hypnosis.

Susceptibility to suggestion is also impacted by repetition. The more you hear a message, the more likely you will be to able accept is as fact, to buy into it, whether consciously or not. This is also true in everyday life.

Some people take to hypnosis quite effortlessly, while others need a bit more practice. Their degree of susceptibility might be influenced by other conditions around them, and they may find they need just exactly the right circumstances to achieve hypnosis.

But the most important contributor to someone’s susceptibility to hypnosis is really their attitude. If someone tries it and has immediate success, that’s terrific. But if the first time you listen to a hypnosis CD and you do not achieve hypnosis, some people will stop at that and conclude that it doesn’t work. That’s unfortunate, because if people are willing to commit to listening to the recordings regularly, and to finding the ideal conditions for themselves, they will achieve some degree of hypnosis, which will benefit them.

Hypnosis is about suggestion, and there is a degree of suggestion to all forms of therapy. If there are any prerequisites to qualify someone as a candidate for hypnosis, it’s attitude first and foremost. Sure other intellectual variances may factor in, like concentration and imagination, but they would likely affect the level of hypnosis, rather than the ability to achieve it in the first place.

How To Hypnotize Yourself

2007-08-11T21:13:00.001-07:00

Hypnosis has long been rumored to have powerful mind-altering properties which can help to treat a range of psychological conditions and lifestyle habits. Conjuring images of elaborate stage shows with unsuspecting ordinary people making a fool of themselves, hypnotism has been seen as a joke, or entertainment for decades. Although conventional medicine may still be a little skeptical as to the effectiveness of alternative treatments like hypnosis, there are hundreds of thousands of success stories around the world in favor of these alternative methods. By conducting the mind of the patient (or victim?) in a state of total relaxation, the hypnotist can change the pattern of thought, for example to turn a patient off smoking cigarettes. It is thought that whilst the mind is reduced to this placid, almost semi-conscious state, the hypnotist can access the inner most anxieties and feelings of the patient to make a permanent change to their mental well-being.

The process of self-hypnosis takes conventional hypnotism one stage further. Rather than hypnosis for stage performance, or for treating others, self-hypnosis revolves around sending one's own mind into a state of relaxation. By learning the key techniques to hypnotizing one's self, you can treat a variety of your fears and anxieties, and allow a platform for self-improvement at many different levels.

It is important firstly to make the distinction between hypnosis, and what is known as hypnotherapy. Hypnotherapy is the actual treatment of patients with psychological needs, such as those who wish to break life-long habitual behavior, and those who want treatment for some underlying mental condition. Hypnosis on the other hand refers to the natural mental we may all experience from time to time, which relaxes the mind and opens it to the power of subtle suggestion. Hypnosis is generally reserved for improving self worth and an overall sense of well-being, and can be a very powerful and relaxing technique.

The first thing to do to hypnotize yourself is to find a relaxed and comfortable environment. Lie down, or sit down in a comfortable chair. Be conscious of the weight of your body being absorbed by the platform on which you are sitting, and feel relaxation through your arms, legs and torso. Close your eyes, and try to forget about the world, focusing on deep breathing and utter calm. After around a quarter of an hour, you should awake as if from a sleep, and you will feel significantly more relaxed and refreshed, ready to continue your daily business and deal with the stresses of every day life.

Hypnosis is a very natural process, and it is certainly not to be feared. Think of hypnosis as a conscious sleep, and understand that you are still in complete control of your actions throughout. It is merely a process whereby we can feel comfortable and deal with stress in a more constructive and healthy way.

Application Of Hypnosis

2007-08-11T20:59:00.000-07:00

Hypnosis has a definite value in the practice of medicine, which was shown very early in its history, and as medical men acquire a better understanding of psychology, its value will probably increase. In general practice the technique can be utilized to quiet and reassure the patient and to establish that desirable state of rapport between physician and patient .

In Europe, particularly in Germany and France, it has been used to some extent as a direct surgical aid in both major and minor procedures. In certain patients it can be used as a substitute for drugs in producing anaesthesia, and since the time of Esdaille it has been used repeatedly for this purpose. It has the advantage over anaesthetics of affording the patient peace of mind, a sense of security and confidence, and it has no afteraffects. However, even at the present day its application in the field of surgery should be limited properly to the minor field until the general medical practitioner as well as the laity have a better understanding of psychological manifestations.

It has also been used successfully in obstetrics and undoubtedly would be used much more if there were not such a misapprehensive, fearful attitude toward it. A primary objection to its use by the medical man, remediable by proper study of the practice, is the difficulty experienced in inducing and maintaining trances. No hypnotists know for a certainty whether or not they are going to succeed with a particular subject at a given time or whether their technique for the occasion will be sufficient for the maintenance of the trance. But this is more fortunate than otherwise, since the therapeutic and medical application of hypnosis should not be taken lightly or left in the hands of the dilettante.

In the field of psychological medicine, however, hypnosis offers a unique approach to many mental problems and difficulties. Its value lies in the fact that it allows the physician to approach directly the subconsciousness of the person with its disturbing conflicts. It often serves as a gateway through his resistances and allows indirect approaches to many difficulties which otherwise could not be attacked.

Also of paramount importance is the fact that the hypnotized patient is in a receptive state for psychotherapy. The difficulty involved in getting patients to accept therapeutic suggestions directly constitutes the greatest obstacle in psychotherapy. Hypnosis renders the person receptive. Indeed, as has been mentioned before, it is a state of enhanced suggestibility. Consequently, by means of hypnotism it is possible to implant therapeutic ideas upon the subconsciousness and to have them take effect when endless numbers of suggestions given in the waking state would be given no heed or even actively resisted. Thus the patient accepts hypnotic suggestions and acts upon them without conscious awareness and without building defense reactions. In so doing he allows them to become a valid part of his mental patterns, all the more so since fundamentally, if not immediately, he does desire aid against his conflicts. By this means patients can be given new mental equipment wherewith to deal with their difficulties, a new equipment which does not have to pass the protective scrutiny of their consciousness.

Hypnosis is not to be looked upon as panacea nor is it to be discarded because it has definite limitations. On the contrary, it is a valuable addition to the medical armamentarium, most particularly to that of the psychiatrist.

Perhaps the most fertile and productive application of hypnotism is in the sphere of experimental psychology. More and more laboratories are becoming interested in the peculiar and significant problems which hypnosis renders available for study. This rapidly increasing interest in experimental hypnotism both in this country and abroad may be taken as an indication of a growing realization of the fruitfulness of hypnosis as a field of scientific research. It constitutes almost a virginal territory for psychological investigations, and it appears to offer a good approach to an understanding of many mental mechanisms which have hitherto defied comprehension.

9 Steps To Use Self-Hypnosis To Have Fun Letting Go Of Fears

2007-08-11T20:58:00.000-07:00

No party is complete without balloons. Balloons are such fun aren’t they? Well, I associate them with having fun.

I have mentioned the idea lots of times before and quoted excerpts from my favourite self-help books such as ‘The Power Of Your Subconscious Mind’ by Joseph Murphy and ‘As A Man Thinketh’ by James Allen (which is available for free in the members area at my website by the way!) as they mention that rather wonderful idea of your mind being like a rich, fertile garden.

Of course, the garden needs tending – you need to plant good healthy seeds and if you do not take care of the garden, weeds can grow.

The thoughts you allow in your mind and especially the ones that you think of the most and focus on continually are the fruit that are going to grow and manifest in your life – it is as simple as that.

This week, I want to show you how to go into the garden of your mind and start letting go of fears of any kind. This is like primo-dynamite weeding!

Prior to actually starting this technique, just have a particular direction in mind as to how you are going to use this technique. By that, I mean that you should think of a specific area of your life that you may have some fears or apprehensions about. The more specific and detailed you can be with this technique, the more effective it is going to be for you.

When you have that in your mind, then proceed to the following simple steps while you are in a quiet place where you are not going to be disturbed.

Step One: So please do ensure that you are in a comfortable position so that you can relax, ideally learn how to take yourself into hypnosis by reading my self-hypnosis book. However, you can also use any other meditation technique or relaxation technique that is good for you.

Imagine breathing in to your stomach and then exhale nice and slowly, and as you exhale nice and slowly allow your eyes to be comfortably closed. Engage in the moment, notice your thoughts, feel your feelings and slow your breathing down naturally. Relax your body and get into a nice receptive state of body and mind.

This technique is going to be using your imagination a lot. You do not have to see these things in absolutely perfect detail. Just trust that you are doing them in the way that is right for you.

Step Two: In a nice relaxed state, using your imagination, imagine that you are in the garden of your mind.

Of course, make it a beautiful garden, and ideally, have an area that is a wide-open lawn. Take some time to engage in the wonderful natural, fresh smells, all the harmony of this beautiful place. Become aware of the colours, and the sounds that are present in this garden of your creation in your mind.

Ensure that you feel comfortable and safe and at ease with the tranquillity of your special garden and take all the time necessary to really connect with all those good feelings.

Step Three: Using your imagination further now, notice that in the middle of your beautiful lawn there is a large collection of helium-filled balloons.

There is something special about these balloons - You notice that they are not tied down. They are just peacefully, naturally floating there in that position. It is as if they have no weight or string holding them in place, they just float there in the centre of your lawn in the special garden of your mind.

Get this as vividly as you can in your mind. Again, spend all the time necessary to do so.

Step Four: Begin to move slowly closer to these balloons and as you draw nearer, imagine their colours. Notice that they are the most beautiful and vivid colours; real iridescent colours, almost as if these colours are unlike any you have seen before.

Imagine that these fascinating and enthrallinig colours have a hypnotic effect upon you. Imagine that they bring you a sense of peace, well-being and relaxation throughout your entire mind and body.

Imagine that as you move closer, those feelings of relaxation and comfrt increase. So that when you get right up close to them, it just feels nice and at ease to just stand beside the balloons and admire their beauty for a few moments.

Step Five: Now here comes the interesting bit….As you stand there you realise that these balloons hold all of your thoughts, all of your emotions, both positive and negative in relation to that specific thing that you thought of immediately prior to doing this exercise.

The rubbery material of each balloon allows you to see each thought or experience without any emotion or reaction, so that you can simply observe it in freedom.

Step Six: Lets have some fun with these balloons shall we? After all, I did say that balloons are for having fun, didn’t I?

So go ahead and reach out and pull one of the balloons from the group. As you look deeply into that balloon, allow your unconscious mind to reveal an image that symbolically identifies a fear or an experience or an event that is related to the issue you are focusing on.

Just notice what is inside of that balloon. That is, notice what your unconscious has chosen. Trust the wisdom of your unconscious mind to know what is right for you to know and that it selects the right thing without you trying to direct it consciously. Go with your intuition, instinct and gut feeling without too much conscious involvement.

Whatever it shows you, recognize it for what it is. Be aware of the thoughts that float within that balloon, feelings that are associated to that thing and see it all in that balloon.

At this stage, with that balloon at arms length, become aware of how that thing affected your thinking in the past and how it affected who and how you are.

Step Seven: Looking into that balloon, imagine that all of the colour is draining out of that image inside the balloon. Let it become vague and black and white and faint shades of grey only – even let it get fuzzy.

Now start to shrink it down in size, imagine that you are draining all the power out of this image and shrink it right down inside that balloon.

Imagine and see that the image is disappearing right into the helium that fills the balloon. So that all you can see is the beautiful texture of the clear balloon.

The helium inside absorbing all of the emotions surrounding that negative or sad image, kind of like a sponge, the helium is drawing away any remaining negativity that may have been there – dispelling all the last remnants of that image and that old fear.

When you are sure that all that remains is the beautiful coloured balloon, with a free, clear centre and that beautiful shell, then go ahead and let this balloon go. Release it into the sky and watch it float away.

Watch it float higher and higher until it is completely gone and vanished and you feel that you have truly let go of it from your garden.

Trust your unconscious mind again. Trust that the old, unwanted, outmoded emotion and feeling is now gone, gone forever from the garden of your mind

Step Eight: Now if you need to, you can reach out and pull another single balloon from the bundle, allow your unconscious to show you any other negative emotion or memory or image that has to do with this issue and repeat the above steps until you have ensured that all fears and related memories, events or circumstances have been dissipated.

One by one, let all the balloons go into the beautiful sky.

Step Nine: When you have let go of all the balloons that you needed to, notice and imagine that you are left with a most powerful and purposeful sense of freedom and peace.

So that now you can look forward to aspects of your life with a freedom of mind and thought. Choose that this very day you are going to take some action that confirms to you that you have released that fear. Give your mind some true evidence – a real reference that you are free. The action is going to be what truly verifies the change in your life.

When you are ready to do so, just open your eyes, relax and come up and out of this experience, wiggle your fingers and toes, reacquaint yourself with your surroundings and go about your day ready to take that action and make a difference in your life.
