"Only when people realize that they have the power to use their thoughts to lift themselves from misery, will their freedom begin." -Dr. Thurman Fleet, Concept-Therapy
One of the fastest ways to tap into the power of the inner mind is through self-hypnosis. This great doorway opens a tremendous storehouse of subconscious wisdom. No power is as great; no force so compelling.
Through hypnosis, a very deep state of relaxation and simply put, lies a state of heightened suggestibility. Any time a suggestion is accepted from someone else, this is a form of hypnosis. For instance, if I say, "You should take your umbrella, I think its going to rain," and you do it, that's a form of mild hypnosis because you have accepted my suggestion.
About the Hypnotic Suggestion
Human life could not go on without the use of hypnosis. If no one ever accepted a suggestion from someone else, nothing would happen. Corporations pay huge fees to advertising agencies, which know the art of getting others to accept suggestions.
Television commercials are filled with ideas that flow in rapid succession, and in so many attractive forms that observers don't have the opportunity to use reason; thus, the suggestions become lodged in the subconscious mind. And whenever you go out and buy a product you have seen advertised, you are responding to a hypnotic suggestion.
Hypnosis is imagination, not willpower. It is not a matter of domination or being weak-willed, it is a matter of concentration and the willingness to accept suggestions. Hypnosis has nothing whatsoever to do with willpower. The ability to be hypnotized is not a mysterious, magical thing; it's really very easy and simple, and anyone who is willing to try can achieve it. In fact, according to one Hypnosis survey, highly intelligent and creative people tend to be the best hypnotic subjects.
Breaking Down the Myths of Hypnosis
In the final analysis, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis. And contrary to popular belief, no one can be hypnotized if unwilling. No one has any special power over anyone else. A hypnotist is merely a conduit for helping to contact the subconscious mind.
According to Marta Hiatt, Ph.D., author of Mind Magic, wrote: "There is something operating within us that protects us from acting on suggestions that are contrary to our nature; otherwise we would buy every product that advertisers pitch."
Even so, one should never allow themselves to be hypnotized by a person who does not fully understand the incredible forces that are being dealt with under hypnosis.
Another myth is that, there is "loss of consciousness in hypnosis." No true. The subject is actually acutely aware, even in the deepest stages. Another misconception about hypnosis is that "there is complete loss of memory of everything that has occurred while in a trance." This happens very infrequently and usually only when the hypnotist has given the directive regarding what has taken place.
The Reasons Why Hypnosis Works
The secret involved in hypnosis, including self-hypnosis, is an inner agreement with ones self to consciously cooperate in the process and be as open and receptive as possible. If there is a thought that it will not work, the process losses efficacy. If, on the other hand, there is a belief that completely accepts the process, it will be successful, the subconscious mind will accept it.
Here's why:
1. Imagination is more powerful than willpower.
2. Imagination is more powerful than reason.
3. Only one idea can be entertained by the mind at any given time.
4. An imagined condition will become real if persisted in, provided it is logical.
A Step-by-Step Guide to Achieve Relaxation
According to Dr. Hiatt, most people will find self-hypnosis relatively easy to master, others may require more practice. The following is a basic step-by-step formula to achieving relaxation and a deep self-hypnotic state.
Initially you must allow yourself at least a half-hour for induction and suggestions. After becoming proficient with this process, take as little as five minutes to go under and another ten minutes for suggestions.
