Self-hypnosis is the ultimate self-help
tool. It's versatile, safe, fast, simple, pleasant, effective,
non-invasive and non-addictive. Nearly everyone can do it and
it's stood the test of time - people have been doing it for
thousands of years! Best of all, it encourages self-sufficiency
because it empowers you to use your own resources to help yourself.
Self-hypnosis can help
- increase motivation, self-belief
and confidence
- stop unwanted habits such
as smoking and nail biting
- manage stress
- improve sleep and concentration
- enhance performance in exams
or sport
- overcome limiting beliefs
and behaviours
- create more fulfilling relationships
- achieve goals such as weight
loss or lifestyle changes
- rejuvenate both body and
mind leading to a greater sense of well being.
| American golfer Tiger Woods
has acknowledged that he uses self-hypnosis to calm his
mind and improve his focus before every game he plays.
He's been quoted (Golf Magazine) as saying "I always
have inner peace on the golf course. I've learned to trust
the subconscious and my instincts have never lied to me."

Hypnosis for Healing
Hypnosis has a long history
of healing that can be traced back over 4000 years to the
Egyptian priest, Imhotep who appears to have instigated what
became known as the 'Sleep' or 'Dream Temples'. Inscriptions
on the walls of these temples tell of miraculous cures brought
about through what we now understand as the influence of hypnosis
combined with religious rituals. In Greece in the 4th and
5th centuries BC, Sleep or Dream Temples became renowned as
places of extraordinary healing and were dedicated to the
healing god Æsclepius.
| The UK Health Education
Authority has said: "Research shows that there is
more scientific evidence for Hypnotherapy than any other
Complementary Therapy … by using hypnosis, people can
perform prodigious feats of will-power and self-healing". |
The Science behind Hypnosis
In spite of its early associations
with sleep, hypnosis is not sleep - it's a suspension of awareness
somewhere on a continuum between wide-awake and fast asleep.
Modern biofeedback methods show that when we use hypnosis,
we slow our brainwaves from mostly beta to alpha and theta.
The advantage of this, as the ancient civilisations discovered,
is that the slower brainwaves create physiological and psychological
changes that enhance our natural human resources. Alpha brain
patterns for example are associated with an increase in the
production of serotonin (sometimes described as the "molecule
of happiness"), an internal focus of attention and heightened
levels of awareness. Theta brainwaves offer us great potential
for behavioural change along with heightened levels of learning,
memory and creativity.
| Bulgarian psychiatrist
Georgi Lozanov combined guided relaxation and "synchronized
rhythms" to create Alpha brainwaves in his students.
He found that subjects learned five times more information
and remembered materials better in a given time that the
"non-treatment" subjects. |
| English pioneer, Dr. Margaret
Patterson found that when the brain's Alpha waves were
stimulated, the production of serotonin brought an increase
in relaxation and a decrease in the perception of pain. |
Learning Self-Hypnosis
Self-hypnosis makes use of our
ability to create internal meaning from an external trigger
such as a word or an image. We are familiar with this concept
in advertising, when images are often used to create the 'feel
good factor'. (Look at the ones on the top of this page for
example).
The associations used in self-hypnosis
usually have strong references to states of relaxation or
resourcefulness and are commonly triggered by a specific word
(such as 'relax' or 'calm'), which is embedded by repetition.
This means that you will need to practice your preferred self-hypnosis
technique before becoming completely proficient as a self-hypnotist.
It only takes about 20 repetitions to create an effective
association though, so you'll find it surprisingly quick and
easy to get started.

As you can imagine, there are
literally thousands of possible cues for hypnosis and therefore
thousands of possibilities for learning self-hypnosis. On
this CD, you will find two of them. They are deliberately
very different and you will almost certainly discover that
one has more appeal to you more than the other. I suggest
you listen to both self-hypnosis sessions initially and then
practice the one that you feel you can make your own.
Both sessions offer the opportunity to shorten the process
as you get more proficient. The first session invites you
to focus on a colour, a sound and then a feeling before taking
you on a journey to a special place. With practice, you will
find that your colour cue will be sufficient to trigger hypnosis
associated with your special place. The second session is
a breathing and counting method with a cue word. Eventually
you will be able to eliminate the counting down portion of
the exercise and use your cue word to enter hypnosis instantly.
