WHAT

A natural state of mind. Waking
is a state of accomplishment. Sleep is a state
of rest. Hypnosis is a state given us for
self-improvement. Sadly, we seldom use it.
-
WHAT
DOES IT FEEL LIKE TO BE HYPNOTIZED?
Hypnosis is a very pleasant feeling of complete
physical and mental relaxation. It is similar
to that moment between knowing you are awake
and going into the sleep state.

DO
PEOPLE HAVE TROUBLE COMING OUT OF HYPNOSIS?
A person may choose to stay in hypnosis
after an experienced hypnotist asks them to
come out of it. The reason being, it is such
a relaxed feeling of enjoyment, they prefer
to stay hypnotized awhile longer. The person
then goes to sleep, and awakes as usual. In
self-hypnosis you have complete control, and
set your own time limit. There has never been
a documented case of someone unable to come
out of hypnosis.
- DOES
HYPNOSIS WEAKEN THE WILL?
No. Self-hypnosis strengthens it. Hypnosis works
with the will, not against it.
-
CAN
A PERSON BE HYPNOTIZED AGAINST THEIR WILL?
No one is hypnotized against his or her will.
The hypnotist merely assists the subject,
who hypnotizes himself.
- WHAT
IS SELF-HYPNOSIS?
Techniques exist by which one can attain a state
of self-hypnosis and gain complete relaxation
under the most stressful conditions. In this
state the subconscious mind is open to therapeutic
suggestions.
-
WHAT
IS THE SUBCONSCIOUS MIND?
The conscious mind, the mind you are conscious
of, is your "ME". It is the critical
part of your mind. The subconscious mind is
the one that directs your conduct through
the habits and emotional desires acquired
from the influences of your environment, before
you were old enough to reject harmful ideas
and concepts.
-
WHAT
IS AUTO SUGGESTION?
Through proper use of autosuggestion you reprogram
the subconscious mind to make decisions favorable
to your welfare. The new suggestions help
in overcoming unwanted habits, a lack of concentration
and any other unhealthy attitudes that doom
you to failure.
-
WHAT
CAN SELF-HYPNOSIS DO FOR ME?
Anything you want it to! Instant learning
and photographic memory systems are based
on self-hypnosis. Champions in various sports
use it to improve their game concentration.
You can now learn to overcome undesirable
habits, such as smoking, over-eating or drinking
with self-hypnosis. You regain self-confidence.
You now know that success is within easy reach,
and erasing harmful emotions leads to a happier
and healthier life.
-
HOW
DOES SELF-HYPNOSIS DIFFER FROM HYPNOTISM BY
A HYPNOTIST?
In self-hypnosis YOU choose your own time
limits, realizing that you have a choice and
can now choose your area for self-improvement.
Using a hypnotist at the beginning of your
awareness training is of great benefit. It
speeds up the retraining process.
-
WHO
CAN BE HYPNOTIZED?
Anyone with an open mind, reasonable intelligence
and is able to concentrate.
It
is estimated that we use only 10% of our potential
in our daily lives. Our great reserve of physical
and creative energy stands idle, because of
built-in tired signals, which, when we listen
to them, become more and more premature.
Example. A newspaper recounts the story of
a 98 lb. woman having an auto accident on
a deserted backcountry road. Seeing her husband
pinned under the car, unknowingly lifts the
automobile to allow her husband to get free.
A professional stage hypnotist can jump up
and down on the unsupported body of a subject
who is stretched out between two chairs, the
feet on one chair back and the head on the
other. The hypnotized person feels only a
slight pressure. He exerts no conscious effort,
yet he performs a feat of strength that would
not be possible in his ordinary state. Hypnosis
offers us a method of tapping into this great
energy reserve. This is the secret of success.
