Self Help Hypnosis -The Secrets Revealed
By Susanna Sweeney, MSC, MBACP, CHT
What Self Help Hypnosis is and How you can Benefit
Most people are not yet aware of what self help hypnosis can do for them. In truth, it can change your life.
See for example this success story where ten minutes of self hypnosis per day helped Sam lose over five stone in weight.
Understanding
what self hypnosis is, how it works, how you can master it, how you can
benefit from it and what its limitations are- is key to making good use
of this amazing self help tool.
What is Self Help Hypnosis?
Self hypnosis is not mysterious, neither is it ‘occult’ as some
people believe. Self hypnosis is a simple, natural phenomenon that you,
too, can learn to access and develop into a powerful self help tool.
Let me explain what I mean when I am talking about self hypnosis being a natural phenomenon.
We
all have an inbuilt ability to become deeply absorbed in something, to
effortlessly focus our attention on a particular thing. One example for when this can happen
spontaneously is when you become so involved in a movie that
the characters seem almost real to you.
In this state, the brain
is open to suggestion. You could deliver desirable
messages to yourself, and they would enter your mind, bypassing the
usual censorship that is in place when in a fully conscious state.
Advertisers use this phenomenon.
- Think of advertising billboards you will see alongside roads.
- Think of ad breaks during prime time TV when people are engrossed in their programs of choice.
Advertisers know that repetitive messages sent to
the brain during times of relaxation combined with deep absorption will
leave a deep imprint on the mind.
But, on the bright side, you can also use this phenomenon for self help.
Self
hypnosis can help you harness this inbuilt skill you already have
to help you access your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is
where belief systems, attitudes, emotions and habits reside. By
accessing the subconscious mind you have a direct route to these, and
you can change them at their root.
You can use self hypnotherapy
for change in your life in any area you desire.
Accessing issues directly in the subconscious mind is very useful when you want to change your life because it saves a lot of the work that you have to do if you are working with methods that cultivate conscious awareness, such as psychotherapy.
Who can use Self Help Hypnosis?
Self hypnosis is a great self help tool that is open to anyone to use.
You will find lots of sources, especially online, claiming that hypnosis only works for a select few. Find out on this page “Stop Smoking Through Hypnosis” what recent research says about the hypnotizability of people.
The Right Approach to Self Help Hypnosis for Each Individual
Milton H. Erickson (1901-1980), a leader and innovator in the hypnosis
field, contended that everyone can benefit from self help hypnosis once
they find the right technique and approach for them personally.
This means, when studying self hypnosis, it is a good idea to follow your gut feelings
as to what feels right for you. Simply pick those self hypnosis
techniques that appeal to you, and fill them with images and metaphors
that have personal meaning for you or that you prefer over others.
Self Hypnosis to Remove Your Limitations
Everybody carries self-imposed limitations of some kind. Here are some common self-imposed limitations:
- Some people believe they will never make money.
- Others believe they are not worthy of love.
- Others yet find it hard to truly believe that success is for them.
A great example for how these self-imposed limitations can impact on our physical reality, is in the story of the ‘four-minute-mile’:
Once the magic spell was broken, many more athletes managed to run a mile in under four minutes within the next couple of years. How come? Simply because they now believed they were able as well. Roger Bannister had shown them that their limitations were simply limitations in self belief.
Many athletes today use the imaginative ability of their subconscious minds to imagine their goals seeing them as if they had already achieved them. This brings ‘crazy’ goals into reach. The idea is that once your mind is convinced that you can do something, you will eventually be able to do just that.
You can work with self help hypnosis using the same mechanism to break through your own barriers and extend yourself to meet new goals and change your life.
The truth is that we are, in fact, unlimited.
Any goal you set yourself, you can meet, any goal at all. Self help hypnosis is a great tool to help you tap into that unlimited aspect of your personality- by harnessing your mind and letting your mind lead the way.
