Hypnosis and its cousin, self-hypnosis, is shrouded in fear, skepticism and widely regarded as hocus pocus. These false attitudes and beliefs stop people from using what is almost certainly the most effective and simplest self-improvement tool known to humankind. Hypnosis has been used for thousands of years to improve health, cultivate positive habits, create incredible happiness and well-being, and so much more. Even the ancient Egyptians had “sleep temples” where people would go for healing. Hollywood (or “Hollyweird” as we like to say) reinforces the myths in popular movies. I’ve undone those myths here.
To those “in the know” hypnosis is well respected and viewed as the powerful tool that it is. Whether it is the doctor visualizing in his mind a complex procedure to improve his performance, an athlete rehearsing a thousand times in his mind, or a student improving grades through enhanced memory, focus and concentration, hypnosis is there to help. Pain free operations, comfortable child birth, improved medical outcomes are all possible with the power of hypnosis. In fact, among those “in the know” hypnosis is becoming more and more the go to tool for improving nearly every aspect of your life.
Here are five some top benefits of hypnosis and self-hypnosis:
Stress Relief With Self-Hypnosis
Perhaps the most devastating feeling rampant in the US and other countries is stress. We feel it at work, we feel it at home, we feel it almost every day in our ordinary lives. But stress is associated with an incredible range of medical conditions, from weight gain to smoking and even to cancer. Despite stress being with us in practically everything we do, it rarely helps us resolve anything, and quite often makes those things worse.
Self-hypnosis is perhaps the safest and most effective way to eliminate unneeded and unwanted stress in our lives. Unlike drugs, it has no negative side effects–you just might come out of trance feeling energized, optimistic and wonderful. You can release stress with self-hypnosis in as little as 5 minutes, or even faster once you use it a few times.
Instant Positive Habits with Self-Hypnosis
Self-hypnosis can help you destroy bad habits and create habits, feelings and beliefs that propel you forward to your goal. Procrastination? Gone. Feelings of “I can’t do it”? Gone. And more than that, self-hypnosis can install good habits that are easy and comfortable. Imagine something you love doing. How easy would exercise and diet be if you had those same feelings towards healthy eating and exercise. At our clinical practice, we’ve helped thousands of people do just that. And you can do the same with self-hypnosis. Move beyond those old limiting feelings and beliefs and step into the new, limitless you with self-hypnosis.
Personal Change and Empowerment
Self-hypnosis is perhaps the single most significant tool you can use for personal change. Whatever change you want in your life, it certainly involves your mind. Self-hypnosis bypasses the conscious, limiting self, and communicates directly with you unconscious mind, allowing rapid, permanent change. Unlike willpower, where you force yourself to do things that you really don’t want to do, with self-hypnosis, you can reprogram you unconscious mind so all those good, inspiring habits that seem so difficult now become as comfortable and easy as your favorite pastime. Self-hypnosis is the ultimate key to self-empowerment.
Better Body and Better Rest
Unlike most other modalities, hypnotists recognize the full force of the mind-body connection. Every thought you have will create some response in your body, and every bodily act will create some change in your mind. This connection is one reason why the most successful athletes use hypnosis in some form. They may call it “guided visualization” or some other name, but it is ultimately hypnosis. Using this connection, self-hypnosis can help you improve your health, relieve pain and sculpt your body in the way that you want. Insomnia? With self-hypnosis it can be gone without dangerous drugs or any of their mind numbing side effects.
Deeper Consciousness
Self-hypnosis gives you a way to explore deeper levels of consciousness because it puts you in direct communication with your unconscious mind. As you establish greater and greater rapport with your unconscious mind, you gain insights and understandings into your own true self. The great Greek philosophy, Socrates, observed that the unexamined life is not worth living. With self-hypnosis, you can examine your own life, your inner desires, your abilities that you never thought you have. Think you’re not artistic? Draw while in an hypnotic trance and you may well surprise yourself.
Self-Hypnosis Is For Anyone
The great thing about this technique is that is can be used by anyone, and it is used by tens of thousands every day. We sometimes call self-hypnosis, “self-helpnosis” because of its enormous power for self- development and empowerment. It sometimes goes by different names such as “guided visualization” or “mindfulness,” but all these techniques rely on focusing you mind in a way very different from what you are used to. When you understand the how each of these relates to hypnosis, you can see the value of adding true hypnosis into every aspect of your life.
