Questions And Answers On Hypnosis

admin answers:

I’ve been involved in hypnosis since the 1990s and I have been trained by one of the best in the world. Here’s my view:

The download that you purchased, if it is any good, should guide you into a trance. There is nothing special you need to do. You clearly have the desire to change, and you’ve taken action by opening your wallet to buy something to help. Just listen to the CD / MP3 often, I would say a few times per week. More than once per day is unnecessary.

In addition, I highly suggest learning some NLP techniques to help you enter a positive state “on demand”. This can be done on your own, without trance, and has instant results.

The Peak Performance CD by Mike Mandel is outstanding, but is simply ONE suggestion. Otherwise, you can buy books on the topic of NLP from Amazon, etc.

You have touched upon several common fears/misconceptions about hypnosis. Let me address each of these separately:

1) Can one wrong word (or a negative suggestion) screw you up for life/cause you harm? — No. Because all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, you cannot be made to do anything you don’t want to. In addition, positive statements have more power than negative ones (this is why years of negative self-talk can be overcome by one or two hypnosis sessions). If your conscious mind says “oops! That last suggestions was a misktake — that’s not what I meant”, that’s more than enough to break the previous “negative” suggestion.

2) If someone scares you while you’re hypnotized, you wake up. Period. If you are in a deep hypnotic trance and you fall asleep — or your hypnotherapist drops dead of a heart attack, heaven forbid! — you wake up.

Hope this answered your questions — if not, feel free to email me!

Most definitely!

Hypnosis is the perfect tool for changing our behavior and beliefs at a very basic level, due to the fact that it can bypass our critical faculty which developed as part of our socialization process.

Since most of our beliefs about ourselves were formed during our childhood, hypnosis is able to modify those beliefs at a subconscious level making long-lasting change possible.

Remember though that hypnosis is not a magic cure, it takes perseverance and repeated practice until those beliefs are modified to the extent that the effect is manifested in your behavior.

Yes it can work but it takes time. I did it to get more energy and also to hate the taste of pop. (my main weakness) It worked great for 6 months but than I had a major family problem and I did not keep up listening to the relaxing tape and I converted back to the lazy ways.
Make sure when you do it that they supply a personalized take home CD or tape. A generic one will work but it is nicer when they build it around you.
