A Guide to Self Hypnosis

Self Hypnosis is a much misunderstood and under-used tool for accessing the subconscious mind.

Now, the subconscious is that deep, unconscious, part of your mind that regulates all your automatic bodily functions, like you heart rate, digestive system, body temperature etc. It is also responsible for storing and accessing your automatic behaviours like talking and walking etc.

However, the role of the subconscious mind goes much further than this and accessing its power can truly and dramatically change your life for the better!

Although self hypnosis is a proven method of managing pain and reducing stress, as well as being an excellent and effective tool for breaking habits such as smoking or over-eating, it can also be used to program your mind for success.

By using self hypnosis to access and manipulate your subconscious mind you can begin to attract situations, events and people that can propel you forward, at an astonishingly fast rate, towards the acquisition of your goals!

Hypnotism: Entertainment or Science?

Hypnosis has been referred to and observed as a mode of entertainment. Stage hypnotists make appearances at many college campuses and on television. Good Morning America featured Tom Deluca, a hypnotist who hypnotized a portion of the audience and had them perform his bidding: they laughed when he told them to and one man was unable to feel the affects of ice water on his hand. Is hypnotism only to be used for entertainment purposes? This question has influenced me to look at the issue of hypnotism and explore its history, how it is perceived in the 21st century and why it remains so controversial.
