What You Want To Know About Self-Hypnosis
Self-hypnosis is a trend that is rapidly gaining support not only from the New Age community, but also from people from all walks of life. This is perhaps because the process one way or the other seems to provide the results that most people look for, and without the benefit of an external person such as a hypnotist.
Under self-hypnosis, you are actually the one who will work on putting you into that special state. While you may be led by a professional who teaches you the ropes to hypnosis in any particular session, you are largely responsible for your own progress. Control is all in your hands. Because of this there’s no fear of being manipulated or made to do things that you do not want really want to do. After all, you’ll be the one issuing the commands.
Still, self-hypnosis is relatively new and a lot of people are still wary of getting involved, but it is important to note that it is you that makes the suggestions depending on the changes you want to make in yourself. Self-hypnosis can be especially useful for people who want to cease bad habits, but have become very ingrained and so routine so that it is a part of their automatic reaction. Other areas where self hypnosis can work well is through the increase of concentration within people. This is especially useful for people who work in environments where close attantion to small detail is important, and for and those that are involved in sports.
Some people believe that self-hypnosis can be effective in improving the efficiency of athelete and creative types like musicians. Jobs where fear and performance anxiety take people out of their comfort zoness because it helps them feel and think while performing rather than just doing what your their instincts tell them.
Self-hypnosis also reportedly works in the realm of medicine. It can be used to relieve people from some symptoms and numb them from pain. Self-hypnosis can “unswitch” a receptor in the brain which allows us people to feel pain or experience symptoms of some injury or illness. These things are still there, but with the difference that in the brain the body is “told” not to feel them anymore. This is what is known as “mind over matter” or in this case, mind over body.
Unlike hypnosis self-hypnosis can take some time to take effect. As with most who have undergone the procedures progress will be a little slow because the subject must remember well to do all procedures, and when you are not a professional hypnotist, you need time to get accustom to the idea, and be able to do the actual work. As with all forms of hypnosis, self-hypnosis is about suggestion, and we must accept that there is a degree of suggestion to all forms of therapy. As such it is attitude first and foremos that determines results, and although other outside variances may factor in (concentration and imagination), self-hypnosis is about auto suggest more than anything else, and the ability to achieve it determines how effective it is going to be for you.
