Self Hypnosis has been used for many decade as a treatment for many problems and issues that people have on a daily basis. Its applications are really wide and can be helpful for areas such as the weight loss, the smoking, the self confidence, the public speaking fear and many others.

The first thing you need to understand about hypnosis is that it’s not a process that is effective if you don’t believe in it. I could spend all day trying to hypnotize you and to help you achieve some type of result you want, but if you don’t trust me or the process it’s not going to work.

Our habits and beliefs are stored in our unconscious mind and some of them are really in depth. Therefore, if we want to change some of them we can’t do it by simply choosing or wanting it at a conscious level. Something must be changed in the subconscious, whether through affirmations, meditation or self hypnosis. If you don’t understand this process, there is no ‘new year’s eve goal’ that is going to be achieved.

Our willpower is the scarcest resource at our disposal. Moreover it get consumed pretty quickly by internal frictions and thoughts. It’s no surprise then that people who choose to rely only on that is destined to fail. I used to do the same, so I out myself into that list for sure. It’s when I discovered the powers of self hypnosis that the game changed.

So in order to self hypnotize yourself, the first step is to relax. And by that I don’t mean simply sit down. You need to consciously let go of all the thoughts and problems, take a very deep breath and relax all muscles.

Once you are there, you need to repeat yourself some sentences, in form of affirmation that you have previously written down and memorized. In that relaxed state, the subconscious is more receptive and it will get all what you put into it. Of course there are some rules for the scripts to be. The most important one is that they need to be in the positive and in the present form.

Another thing many people overlook is the visualization process that can go along with the affirmations. If you visualize your outcome, while you repeat it to your subconscious mind, the chances of success increase dramatically.

It’s crucial that while you do your self hypnosis sessions you feel also what it is that you want. You need to think as if you were already experiencing the desired outcome. It’s not easy at first and requires practice. However, the more you do it the better you’ll become at it.

Self hypnosis won’t change things overnight. However, if done properly for few days and weeks can bring incredible results. You can get rid of bad habits such as smoking, binge eating, fingernail eating, fear of public speaking, shyness just to name a few.

So go ahead and learn more about this process. I bet that you see incredible results.

Covert hypnosis refers to a process of hypnotizing someone without their knowledge. It relies upon the hypnotist using a set of predetermined phrases, gestures, facial expressions and vocal tones that allow them to implant suggestions in the subconscious mind of the person they are talking to. Used by leading figures in the business world, medical professionals, advertising agencies and motivational speakers around the globe, conversational hypnosis is a widely respected and scientifically proven technique.

However it is also the favored technique of “street hypnotists”, “stage hypnotists” and people with all the ethical fortitude of a starving rattlesnake. Generally these reprobates like to use their ‘power’ to convince unsuspecting victims that they would: A) really like to sleep with them; B) give them all their money; C) sign over the deeds to their house or D) all of the above. Unfortunately the image they portray of the conversational hypnotist as some sort of confidence trickster rather fuels the commonly held misconception of conversational hypnosis.

This is a source of frustration for those who recognise the potential of conversational hypnosis as a source of both great personal development and change as well as a fantastic tool for motivational speaking. The Fact that many within the Conversational Hypnosis field often refer to it as ‘Covert Hypnosis’ unfortunately contributes to its image as a “dark art”. It also goes someway to explaining why many are enticed to learn the techniques involved for less than honorable reasons.

Whilst the basic concepts of conversational hypnosis are easily accessible to most people, to truly master conversational hypnosis requires both commitment and some study. Until relatively recently exorbitant costs have meant high quality training has only really been available to professionals. However there are now a number of good quality courses available online. Whilst purchasing such courses inevitably mean some investment, developing the most powerful mind control technique known to science is worth the effort for many. Conversational Hypnotists can not only get personal satisfaction from using their skills but often also command high commissions for their services.

Another reason covert hypnosis is sometimes considered to be based upon questionable morality is it’s ability to work when the person being hypnotized is completely unaware of the process. Indeed conversational hypnotism works best under these conditions. Some hypnotherapists and others within the psychological treatment community argue that it is fundamentally wrong to carry out any kind of intervention without the subjects agreement. However covert hypnosis has already been proven to be exceptionally effective in treating some long term debilitating psychological conditions, particularly addictions. Conversational hypnotherapists argue that the treatment process often covers more than one session and, providing that the subject has given their permission to the participate in the entire treatment program their awareness of specific hypnotic treatment sessions is irrelevant. They also point out that when you ask someone if they would like to rid themselves of their gambling addiction at the cost of having a few conversations with a therapist most leap at the chance.

As mentioned previously one of the most important aspects of successful conversational hypnosis is to ensure that the subjects remain unaware of the process they are undergoing. The better quality courses teach you the skills and techniques you need to use covert hypnosis subtly. This can take some time to master as, inevitably, some of speech patterns used can seem a little awkward to the ear and can potentially raise the subject’s suspicions. If they become aware that you are trying to manipulate them they will become closed and defensive. This will make the process much harder (though by no means impossible).

So as you can see truth behind covert hypnosis is not that it is some cheap trick favored by charlatans and perverts but rather a respected and empirically referenced psychological technique used by professionals the world over. It’s image as a questionable practice used by drop outs as a substitute for social skills owes much to its misuse as averse its genuine potential and practical application.
