How to structure a freeflow hypnosis session

Welcome to lesson 4 and one of the most important parts of learning how to do hypnosis - how to compose a hypnosis session and why you do it this way.

Now, although this course is for people who want to hypnotise themselves for personal development and self help, the way to get really good at self hypnosis is to treat yourself as someone else when doing the hypnosis.

For this reason you use "you" instead of "I" when hypnotising yourself, and follow all the same principles as we have covered so far.

Conscious vs unconscious response

Don't get confused between your conscious and unconscious mind. You may consciously think "I don't need all that to go into hypnosis", but your unconscious mind will respond to hypnotic language regardless.

It's just the same as when someone blushes - they are thinking "Oh no, I really don't want to blush ", but they are blushing all the same.

This doesn't mean you can hypnotize people if they don't want to be hypnotized - your subject does actually have to listen!

So, before I get too far off track, the point here is that when doing self hypnosis, pretend you are hypnotizing someone else - it works best that way.

So you're going to hypnotize yourself...

OK, so imagine you are sitting down to do a self hypnosis session. Instead of listening to a CD, you want to do your own session.

A great way to learn hypnosis quickly is to record your own sessions and then listen to them later (if you can leave a day or so between recording and listening that's even better).

This enables you to hear what worked well, and what you need to work on. Making a recording also makes you focus so you learn better.

You know what to say to yourself - remember the language patterns - but how do you put it all together?

Here's how...

• Start by observing the way you feel. If you are feeling a bit 'hyper', then start your induction off briskly - there's nothing worse than hypnosis that mis-matches the way you feel. In this case, start off your induction by talking quite quickly and in an 'everyday' voice'. This parallels your emotional state and makes it easier for your unconscious mind to get involved.
• Talk about things that are immediately observable to start with - "You are sitting in that chair", "You can listen to my voice", "You are still nice and awake" - remember 'adjunctive suggestions' in the'Hypnotic Language Patterns' article in lesson 2?
• As you feel yourself beginning to focus, just start to slow your voice down slightly, and soften it a little - suddenly jumping into 'Mr Hypno' voice will just jarr.
• Begin introducing nominalizations for the sort of response you want - you know; relaxation, calmness, focus - that sort of thing. Start making suggestions for responses.
• Start to use imaginative involvement - talk about things you can see, hear, smell, touch and feel. As you begin to relax, your imagination will work better.
• Once you have attained a good level of relaxation, you can do any rehearsal you want to do - you can rehearse how you want to feel in a particular situation. (much more on this in the DVD).
• When you decide you want to bring the session to a close, draw the attention away from internal imagination back to things in the immediate environment, such as sensations in the body, sounds in the room. This will begin the re-orientation process. As you do this, very gradually make your voice more normal. This will serve as a message to the unconscious to return to the normal waking state.

OK, so now I'll give you an example of this so you can hear what I mean...

if you really do want it add on my facebook and ask from me. i will send you ;)

In our final lesson we will look at how you use hypnosis to achieve specific goals. Until then - relax...
