What is Hypnosis?

Hypnosis is tool to achieve a mental state of simultaneous concentration and relaxation. A unique and important trait of the state of hypnosis is the willingness to suggestion.


Self Help Hypnosis is utilizing the hypnosis techniques for personal development benefits.


Facts About Hypnosis


Here are a few frequently asked questions and facts about hypnosis:

Is hypnosis a natural state?

Absolutely. We pass through it every night. It is akin to the drowsy state of mind we go through right before dropping off into sleep, or slipping into the dream state. Only, during hypnosis our concentration is heightened and focused.

"Hypnosis is not mind control. It's a naturally occurring state of concentration; it's actually a means of enhancing your control over both your mind and your body." -Dr. David Spiegel



How does it feel during hypnosis?

People who experienced being under hypnosis describe it as a state where you are aware of what is going on, but not really caring about it.

"In hypnosis, you can attain significant psycho-physiologic changes."
-Dr. Daniel Handel

Do we experience hypnosis in day to day lives?

reading can be an example of self help hypnosis Anytime you are engrossed in watching an interesting movie or reading a good novel - what do you experience?

Your concentration into the movie or novel is heightened, your focus becomes so narrow that other external stimuli in your surroundings are ignored - you may be mildly aware of them, but you really don't care enough to get distracted by them. In other words, you are in a hypnotized state.

How about the times when you imagine the worst in a situation and start to worry? Your concentration is inward but heightened into the scene you are playing in your mind, that is causing you to worry.

You may choose to ignore other external stimuli; and you may even be suggesting to yourself all the things that could go wrong in that situation.

That, right there, is self hypnosis.



Is hypnosis same as meditation?

It is, as far as the relaxed state of mind is concerned. Only difference is in meditation, there are no suggestions involved.

Learn Hypnotherapy

"What is Hypnotherapy?" is such a common question and the aim of 'Exploring Hypnotherapy' is to bring together information, articles, life stories etc to demystify Hypnotherapy and Hypnosis and to show how the benefits can be easily applied to everyday living, from curing phobias, dealing with panic attacks, improving sports performance, particularly the mental aspect of golf, to just generally creating a feeling of well-being, relaxation and confidence.

Hypnosis Fears


There are some myths regarding hypnosis. Here are the most common hypnosis fears:

Do we lose control when under hypnosis?

Negative. You always have control. You can snap out of it whenever you choose to, just as easily as you can shut off that movie when you realize you need to be elsewhere.

During hypnosis, conscious mind is still present unlike when we are asleep; it is just not actively involved. You can invoke it whenever you want to.

"A hypnotist can't make you do anything you don't really want to do. There's nothing spooky about it." -Business Week

Can we be hypnotized when we don't want to get hypnotized?

Negative, again. You need to be willing to be hypnotized for it to happen. If you consciously choose to not pay attention to the hypnotist, you cannot be hypnotized. When a hypnotist asks us to relax, we can make a conscious decision to either do so or not.

Types Of Hypnosis

Hypnosis By Hypnotist: You seek a professional's help to reach the state of hypnosis, and to reap its benefits thereafter.

Self Hypnosis: You do it yourself; you are your own hypnotist.

For a lot of self improvement issues, self hypnosis is a better suited tool as it can be done in your own time, and learning self help hypnosis is not very difficult. If results are not achieved, or are not satisfactory, a professional's help can always be employed.

How To Do Self Hypnosis?


Here is a basic technique widely suggested for self help hypnosis:

  1. Sit (or lie down) comfortably in a dimly lit room with no external distractions, and close your eyes.
  2. Watch your thoughts slip by, until they have all gone; don't force them out.
  3. Imagine that you are releasing tension from each part of your body, starting with your head and working your way down to toes.
  4. Breathe slowly, for a few minutes.
  5. When you feel relaxed and comfortable, start counting backwards in your mind, slowly from 10 to 1. Imagine 10 to be your current state, and 1 to be state you want to go - the hypnotized state.
  6. State your suggestions a few times. It is recommended that suggestions be specific, and in positive language.
  7. When done, start counting in your mind slowly from 1 to 10, where 1 is your current state, and 10 your normal, awake state.
  8. Wait a few seconds, and slowly open your eyes.

Practice these steps for about 15-20 minutes a day, and do it when your mind is alert and active. You may seek professional help for the first couple of sessions, to help get you started.
