As with everything in life, never start or venture into anything you don’t know a lot about. You must always have a good foundation on which to build on, otherwise your whole structure will be unstable and all your efforts will have gone for naught.

Here are my top ten tips for practicing self hypnosis.

1. Try to do your self hypnosis exercises consistently at the same time each day (as much possible anyway) for 15-30 minutes per session.

2. For the first few times that you practice self hypnosis, it’s recommended to only practice when you are in a somewhat relaxed condition to start with. So you may want to take a warm bath beforehand.

3. Do not force your mind when it is feeling fatigued or sleepy after a nerve-racking day. If you are very tired, then you’ll have trouble concentrating. If you need to take some time out, then just have put your feet up and get back to doing self hypnosis another time.

4. Formulate suggestions properly. No matter how effectively you practice a bad idea, it is still a bad idea. Give yourself specific commands, and phrase your hypnotic suggestions carefully, so as to form them correctly or once again, you will only act surprised when you fail. Remember, your subconscious needs the right cues, if it’s going to change your behaviours.

5. Ensure you’re prepared. Ahead of you start your session, know what suggestions you’ll be using. Don’t try to make them up on the fly. You want your conscious mind to relax and if you have to think too much, then your session won’t be very effective.

6. Find a quiet spot to practice. It’s best to minimise distractions while you are in the process of learning self hypnosis. Remember to turn off your phone and if anyone is in the area, ask them not to disrupt you.

7. Find a position where your body will be comfortable and you will find it a lot easier to enter t he hypnotic state. If you have a recliner, that would be perfect. Then again, make certain that you’re not so comfortable that you fall asleep – that defeats the purpose. A good position is to be sitting in a chair with your spine straight and your feet firmly planted on the floor.

8. Be patient. When learning a skill such as self-hypnosis, a lack of experience coupled with impatience equals all but guaranteed failure. So take your time, when dealing with your most potent and difficult-to-reach issues.

9. Make or buy a recording that guides you into hypnosis before you begin to apply suggestions. If you’re making it yourself you can either just record an induction or you may want to record your whole session, including the positive suggestions that you’ll be working with.

10. Practice putting yourself into a relaxed state as often as possible. Even if it’s just a couple of minutes here and there throughout the day, you will be able to get into hypnosis more effortlessly when you do your self hypnosis work.

Remember, the more you practice self-hypnosis, the better you’ll get, and soon you will be able to hypnotise yourself anytime and anywhere.

As in the following example, Kuan Yin’s passages to explain specific teachings were often metaphoric in nature:

"It’s an urgent time for energies to evolve, The process is being sped up, an acceleration creating awe-inspiring changes affecting every aspect of life There are a group of souls who are using this time to help propel them forward This process can be compared to a ship catching the wind in a certain way Those catching this wind will need to be skillful And like a sailor’s knowledge and deep respect for the sea, these people will need to know when to turn the ship and when to let go Adept in utilizing the winds of these times, they will have me as their sail "

-Kuan Yin

Maintaining, "You create your whole world from your thoughts" and "The universe will bring anything one wants", Kuan Yin emphasizes that earth is the most important step in our evolution: where focused intent is the driving force behind all manifestation Here we, as limitless, spiritual beings, can achieve manifestation in all of its complexities: where physical and non-physical elements become intertwined with the sacred thread of universal law Indeed, it is from this earth perspective that we may sense and enhance the unique gifts dwelling within each of us:

"There is no place to hide All are in this together There is the collective planetary intention and personal responsibility to others, Like a seed, love will always be there Because of free will, humans can accept or reject that love We, who so much wish to have the love we send be received, have to remain somewhat detached "-Kuan Yin

This work also describes many of Kuan Yin’s amazing transformations witnessed by Ms Lees during trance: "I’m at the base of one of the redwood trees and I feel like Alice in Wonderland My hands are holding effortlessly onto the end of Kuan Yin’s robe I see the long train of her gown flowing down, down until it flows into a hole at the base of the redwood trunk I’m aware it is another entrance, yet another doorway to consciousness Now the train of her gown is flowing out of the hole and into the universe Her train has made a heart around the planet Jupiter It is very much like the Milky Way "

Kuan Yin describes "a realistic life" in quantum terms: that we have already "lived all of our lives"! Defining personal experience as "juggling the dream and the world of dreams" the goddess proclaims that each of us has the ability to attract limitless realities As we are "made of sound" and each reality has its own unique resonance, each reality/aspect can be regarded as mirroring one’s combined Authentic Resonance Because of the transformational powers of the creative force, art and music offer potent modalities for instantly amplifying one’s most desired thoughts, emotions and vibration: "Focus on whatever positive trait you want to achieve, as you would focus on a musical note "-Kuan Yin

She continues, proclaiming: "There is a dimension where the pure wealth of consciousness is a reality It is a reality where everyone is loved, where everyone is fed and healthy When one brings spirit into the human realm, it can spiritualize matter Matter can then become lighter, (indeed liberated), not as dense as before"

In any particular lifetime, the implications of the law of attraction are clear Kuan Yin teaches that beliefs (or "made-up stories") determine the experiences one will attract in this life or the next; that one reaps the consequences of the beliefs one sows: "The lesson on earth is acceptance of differences Don’t forget you are a part of everything and everything is a part of you "

Referring to Her Love and Forgiveness Principle; Kuan Yin states: "Loving kindness is the most powerful force in the universe, it is potent even when displayed during the so-called mundane tasks of daily existence It’s so potent that if everyone could get into that ’space’ for a minute or even less, everyone would blast into a ball of light!"

"Kuan Yin is showing me picture of a windsurfer skimming effortlessly along the ocean’s surface Quite skilled, he is very focused on the elements around him The windsurfer is concentrating on how to turn the sail His question must always be, ‘what am I going to do with the wind that is blowing right now,’" states Lena

"There are the waves and there is the wind, seen and unseen forces Everyone has these same elements in their lives,the seen and unseen: karma and free will The questionis, ‘how are you going to handle what you have?’ You areriding the karmic wave underneath and the wind can shift everyone must take what they see and deal with that whichis unseen Fall into the water!"

-Kuan Yin

Detailing how focused intent can be effectively applied, Kuan Yin states: "Many don’t understand prayer Prayer is sent out as strong intention and energy I want you to get unstuck and send focused intent Be detached with the results Trust, Praying for others’ well-being is the most incredible thing a person can do, Some energies are not as potent The only way to develop a potent energy is to spend an existence on the earth There, one can develop a compassionate nature so that when passing on to other dimensions, one can be of help When one leaves one’s earth body they will need to fully understand compassion to be helpful, effective "

Ever wondered if it was possible to lose weight without dieting, exercise, pills or dangerous surgery? Well, “it’s not only possible, it’s recommended!” says Don Mannarino, a clinical hypnotherapist for over 30 years and creator of the popular Think and Lose program.

Weight gain or loss is all about caloric intake. When you eat too much your body weight increases; eat less and you lose weight. So how does something so simple become so complicated? Most dieters avoid tackling the core of the problem – the mind. “It’s your mind that got you into this and therefore only your mind will get you out of it,” says Don. This is the proven philosophy of the Think & Lose Weight Loss Program successfully used by nearly half a million people.

When Randy Gray reached 250 lbs, he had both high blood pressure and high cholesterol. Knowing extreme diets and exercise routines wouldn’t work for him, he turned to the ‘Think and Lose’ program. After only a day using the program he started seeing results. “The first month I lost 10 lbs,” Randy says, “Shortly after starting the program, I was at a restaurant, and the manager asked me if there was a problem with the food – because half the portion was still on my plate. I smiled and said, thanks, but it was actually delicious.” Randy went on to lose 72 lbs and has kept it off for 7 years.

By listening to the audio program, Don puts you in a relaxed state of hypnosis when the mind is more easily persuaded to accomplish the goals we truly wish for ourselves, so the regular rationalizations can’t prevent us from doing what we really want. Therapeutic hypnosis allows a person to gain control over habitual behaviors and emotions. It eliminates the need for ‘will-power’ and makes weight loss virtually automatic.

This weight loss program is totally flexible to fit your preference and schedule. It takes as little as two minutes a day and you can do it in the comfort of your home. In fact, right now Think and Lose is offering a free 30 day trial here http://www.thinkandlose.com So all that’s left is for you to decide: Would you rather lie on the couch and lose weight or go to the gym?

Dantalion Jones says in his book “Mind Control 101″ that we constantly try to influence other people for some reason (e.g. in education). The desire to change others’ minds and behaviors is one of the main functions of communication. The neuro-linguistic programming (NLP) is used everywhere: e.g. when motivating a prospect to buy a specific product or service; creating panic to sell a certain stock; instilling trust in the authority that is speaking to you on TV; creating contempt for the competition while establishing greater customer loyalty; bringing in greater revenues; selling an undervalued product for a higher price; causing someone to reevaluate their prior beliefs. There are models of communication and behavior that can help you improve relationships with your clients, and become more effective in all areas of your business. Covert hypnosis or persuasion is the ability to subtly communicate with another person’s subconscious mind by bypassing the critical factor of the mind. As it often takes place in the course of a seemingly regular conversation, it is also known as Conversational Hypnosis.An amusing example of using covert hypnosis was presented on TV by Derren Brown where he influenced his friend to buy a BMX bike. The bike was never mentioned in the conversation, however it was hidden in the messages, such as “Let me tell you how I buy(K) gifts….by (BIKE) creating the strong feeling of desire …. they BeaM eXcitement for it.” Another amusing example may be presented in education where Derren demonstrates the ineffectiveness of telling children something that they must not do (such as ,,Don’t push that red button!”) without giving further instructions and disregarding the fact that our subconscious mind doesn’t make difference between a negation and a positive statement.

But how do you use NLP to persuade another person to buy or try your product or service, or change his/her behavior? Ken Hogan answers this question explicitly in his book “Covert Persuasion: Psychological Tactics and Tricks to Win the Game”. His book provides help in using the powers of NLP in personal and business life. Hogan claims that the central key in using covert persuasion is to find ways to elicit people’s individual processes. These processes may be in the form of beliefs, personal assumptions, tendencies and values, as well as of their strategy for making decisions. Hogan proposes eight strategies that could be helpful for utilizing covert persuasion. Firstly you should identify a targeted problem. This is something your prospect no longer wants to experience (e.g. high costs, poverty, debts). “Omega Strategy” is a persuasion strategy that doesn’t try to improve or enhance the value of a product, but is solely focused on reducing resistance. Hogan brings a “fear” as a good example on how to influence people effectively because fear is something we are all wired to fight or flee from. A good example here would be a sales campaign by T. Harv Eker. Eker is very well aware of linguistic programming and he is using it in his program when changing “Your Money Blueprint”. Eker uses fear scaring people to death when claiming that “If your money blueprint is not set for a high level of success, you will never have a lot of money. And even if you somehow do, you will most likely lose it!”

Hogan claims that the key factor of persuasion is giving instructions or steps when directing or influencing behavior. Simply telling someone to do something “Don’t push that red button!” or “If your money blueprint is not set on a high level of success, you are doomed!” is destined to fail because it doesn’t include instructions. However, if people have heard those phrases thousands of times already (like “Smoking will kill you!”), they are vaccinated against it, and they will not pay attention this petition any more. Hogan claims that at first we must scare people to hell and then give them specific instructions to follow. Therefore, Harv Eker gives us instructions such as “The good news is that you can actually reset your money blueprint to create natural and automatic success”. You can attend Millionaire Mind Intensive Seminar and set your money blueprint on the high level of success.

Hogan advises that if you are going to use fear in a communication in order to encourage someone to buy your product or service, you must also include step-by-step instructions in your message in order to be successful. Thus, based on neuro-linguistic programming, Eker states that it is insanity doing the same things over and over and expecting different results. According to Ken Strong the NLP assumes that what appears to be “wrong” with someone is actually the perfect response to their current map of their world or your so-called “money blueprint”. By changing your map or blueprint (that is, how you think about the world and your place in it), you can change your behavior. Hogan brings an example from a research where 69 percent from those told to imagine their car being vandalized, said they would return to the car to check if the doors were locked. Where people experience anticipated regret they tend to take action to prevent the regret.
