Hypnosis is an extremely effective way to make positive lasting changes in your life. Through hypnosis you can talk directly with your subconscious mind. The subconscious mind is where your habits are formed, believes developed and behaviors can be altered. With hypnosis the conscious mind is bypassed and suggestions go directly to the subconscious mind. It is very important to use the language of the subconscious mind. This is the language of emotions and feelings and what the subconscious mind will respond to.

Use positive statements when writing a self hypnosis script. As an example do not say I hate smoking, instead say I love being healthy and strong, being able to take complete full breaths. If you suggest a negative, the subconscious mind will only reinforce that negative as it takes things very literal. What happens is your subconscious mind will first have to think about the act of smoking and then think about not doing it. This is really a thinking process of the conscious mind.

It is always a good idea to say the suggestion several times in several different ways. Using weight loss as an example, you could say the following. I enjoy the feeling of being slim and trim, I love the way people look at the healthy me, my body feels healthy and fit.

It helps if you can make things personal. The reason for this is the subconscious mind understands emotions and personal is usually emotionally based. Weave your feelings, hopes and ambitions into the script. It is also best to use terms like “my health” “I will” instead of terms like “your health”. This only applies when make a script for yourself.

When writing your script follow a logical flow. This means that you should say things in a way that would be easy to actually do. As an example you could say “each day my energy level increase as my stress level decreases, I can feel day by day my life is improved” instead of “I am full of energy with no stress”. As you can see the second suggestion is abrupt with no flow to it.

Use deepening suggestions that will not create fear. An example of a deepening suggestion that could create fear is saying “you are walking down the steps into the dark basement, going deeper under ground”. A better deepening suggestion would be to say “it is a cold night and you are slowly pulling the covers up. As they pass your feet you can feel them becoming warm and relaxed”. The idea is to have comfortable, safe feeling, deepening suggestions.

Make your suggestions as simple and clear as possible. Always have your suggestions look ahead to the future. The future can be one minute from now, but they should always be forward looking.

If you can paint a verbal picture this can be extremely helpful. Paint the picture of the person after they have achieved the goal. As an example say “you are walking down the street as you see an old friend and you stop to talk, the friend pulls out a cigarette and offers you one. You politely decline and as you are declining, you take a deep, full breath feeling the clean, fresh air flow into your healthy, strong lungs.” Use descriptive words to help create more emotion.

These suggestions are just some basic guidelines for creating a hypnosis script. Start simple and build from there.

Hypnosis helps you to focus your mind specifically on the outcomes you want in your life. In addition, Hypnosis is a powerful tool to help you achieve these outcomes.

How Does Hypnosis Work with Your Subconscious Mind?

Hypnosis is a state of mind. In the hypnotic state of mind, you are relaxed in body, while your mind is aware and alert. This allows your subconscious mind – the deep part of your mind – to spring into action.

Your subconscious mind – by its very nature – brings into reality that which you are thinking. Your subconscious mind takes your thoughts – the contents of your mind – and creates them in your life. It is principle by which self-fulfilling prophecy operates.

By the principle of self-fulfilling prophecy, whatever you think about an event, you get to be right! It doesn’t matter what you think, by virtue of your thoughts, you create the very outcomes that those thoughts describe!

This is powerful!

It points out the need to pay very close and particular attention to that which you are thinking! Since your subconscious mind stands to create it, it is important that you watch carefully over the direction of that creation.

In other words, it is important that you closely monitor your thoughts. Hypnosis provides a pathway to assert that careful monitor over your thoughts! Hypnosis also provides clarity in the direction of those thoughts. Hypnosis is designed to create thoughts – in the form of suggestions – specifically tailored to the outcomes that you want to see become a part of your life!

It is a process of positive mental conditioning.

What Can You Accomplish with Positive Mental Conditioning?

Hypnosis can be used to dramatically improve attitude, outlook, skills, memory and comprehension, focus and concentration, creativity, as well as a whole host of other results. Hypnosis can assist in improving personal well-being. It can help with such skills as anger management, stress management, time management, and goal achievement.

Hypnosis has also been found to help its subjects alleviate fears and phobias – including fears of the dark, of heights, of closed spaces, of insects. Since these phobias reside in the deeper areas of the mind, Hypnosis can be the perfect vehicle to use to get to them and “weed” them out..

Through the use of Hypnosis, those fears are accessed and altered. Using hypnotic techniques irrational thoughts and fears can be eradicated. Once this occurs, more productive, neutral and/or healthy perspectives toward the stimuli are left behind.

“Is hypnosis real?” That is a question that gets asked quite a bit. To many it is a field that seems far fetched and not feasible. Few people are aware of the extensive scientific research and evidence backing hypnosis. Hypnosis has many incredible and viable uses such as; breaking bad habits, eliminating pain, achieving goals, increasing self confidence, and the list goes on and on.

In answer to the question “is hypnosis real?”, yes it is very real and is used to make astounding changes in thousands of lives.

Simply put, hypnosis is a focused state of mind with a heightened ability to accept suggestions. It’s a way to communicate with the subconscious mind. The subconscious part of the brain is accepting and open unlike the conscious part of the brain which analyzes everything that passes through it. When using hypnosis you are able to bypass the conscious and critical part of the brain and speak directly to the part of the brain that is easily influenced.

Most habits, beliefs, and attitudes are stored in the subconscious mind. People try to change or influence these unconscious thoughts consciously. The two parts of the brain are not in agreement and therefore, permanent change cannot occur. Your subconscious mind is an incredibly powerful machine that operates many functions on auto pilot. Think about all of the things you are able to accomplish without thinking about each step of the process. An example would be something as simple as walking. You don’t consciously think about lifting each foot or the process of heel-toe. Walking is programmed into the subconscious mind so you don’t need to think about each step of the process.

When you use hypnosis to reprogram thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes in the subconscious mind, it creates profound changes. If suggestions are placed effectively the mind can be reprogrammed with healthier and more productive ideas, thoughts, beliefs, and attitudes which will create positive actions.

Hypnosis is a field that continues to be researched and perfected. Harvard, Stanford, and Mount Sinai are just a sampling of the prestigious institutions with programs doing research in hypnosis.

Hypnosis is an extensive field and can create incredible change. It is a field that has undergone much criticism, but is a real and valid tool that, when used correctly, benefits an unbelievable number of people.
