Self hypnosis recordings

Hi, can't recommend a book, but check out another thread on something like 'can hypnosis help with inferiority complex'.

Basically, I would say read the replies on that thread, try to understand what we mean by 'copying state' and do that with whatever it is you are trying to achieve.

If you can find a book on the subject, and don't want to record an audio and play it back, that is essentially what you will end up doing anyway!

I read the post, from what I can gather 'copying state' could involve for example listening to a good song to get motivated to go to the gym, would that be right?
can you achieve as much using this as you would using hypnosis?

Hi 007,

Yes, listening to music would be a trigger, or anchor, that would fire the state of motivation in you.

You could take it one step further and imagine you could hear the music, or think back to a time when you heard the music, and allow yourself to actually feel that high level of motivation once more, that way, you can fire the anchor whenever and wherever you want, without actually having the music.

This can be likened to what people call self hypnosis, -the giving and accepting of suggestion, all be it self suggestion.

What i would define copying state as, is more like, take for instance I was chatting a girl up, and you were standing there all nervous and panicky, but wanting to yourself. You could copy state by mimicking my confidence and self assurednes, and whatever states, or qualities you see in me, regardless of how you actually feel, once you begin to copy state, that state becomes your new state.

Sorry to waffle, hope I clarified rather than confused!!

A friend of mine has no self confidence or self esteem, and says she has no social skills and can't talk to people. I liked her as soon as I met her and find her very easy to get on with, but she doesn't see it. She's about to turn 35 and desparately wants a child, but wants out of her current bad relationship. She's tying herself up in knots worrying that she'll never meet anyone who'll want a family with her while she's still childbearing age. The only thing that's actually stopping her getting the life she wants is her firm belief that it's not going to happen.

I'm learning to hypnotise but still not been brave enough to do my first induction, so it'll be a while before I can attempt anything with her. I don't want to mess her up even more! Can anyone recommend a good recording that might help improve her confidence? It's her birthday next week and I thought it'd be a good thing to give her, but I don't want to buy something useless.

Any suggestions would be much appreciated!

Hypnosis can definitely help. You could also try some form of meditation, which can help with taking control of your thinking. (Do a google search for mindfulness.)

Other things that might help would include taking up a form of physical exercise that exhausted you. Or, just getting rid of the computer! :wink:

However, my main reason for commenting was just to say, nice one for wanting to do something about it!

It's funny, the longer I've been around hypnosis, (and those pesky hypnotists!) I've found knwoledge to be more of a burden than a blessing. I've come to understand the process behind hypnosis, and in doing so have had to create more inventive ways of 'tricking myself' into trance.

For example, I know the point when conversational speil becomes geared for trance; when the eye contact gets a little more pressing, and the 'what you'll find is's start to happen...

It's annoying really, in that self-hypnosis tapes have never really had the effect I've desired. I guess, that's down to determinism, that 'self fulfilling prophecy' mentioned earlier in the Paul McKenna posts. I don't think it's going to work, I spend the entire tape picking it apart and analysing it, and then wondering why I don't go into trance.

I did begin something myself though, utilising my knowledge of hypnotising others, and of course, how my own mind works. I began to write myself a script for hypnosis, and thn just stopped. It's still now, sitting in my email drafts folder.

I wrote that script a good few months back, and maybe in a few months more (or less if curiosity compels me, as it usually does) I'll read it again and see what happens. I know myself that the way I've written it will allow it to effect me, and the period of time in which I allow it to slip from my mind only makes the final result all the sweeter.

Though it did pose certain questions to me. What voice was I going to use in writing it? I began by writing from myself to ... well, myself. I then switched the voice in my mind to is my boyfriend were saying it, and it reflected in my writing. I think I ended up settling for a comfortable mix of the two, that balance between confidence and smugness Lex and I have gotten right for my mind.

Also, another issue was exactly where this script was going to take me. Obviously into trance, I had no doubts about that. But then what? Giving myself a trance trigger? Some would say I've had more practice at sleeping than an insomniac. What would I establish for myself? A greater desire to do chores and study? Even I couldn't bear to betray myself like that...

I am a veteran of self-hypnosis -- been doing it for years with pretty good results. For me one of the biggest hurdles was trying to figure out if I was becoming hypnotized. I know what it feels like now, but when you first get started, it's difficult to figure out whether you've gone under. You initially expect it to be like sleep, but it's definitely not (you can hear the whole time, while hearing shuts down when you go to sleep). You definitely feel "out of it" in a pleasant way, and your mind is feels blank even though you are listening to suggestions.

I figured it all out by trial and error, but the quickest and most efficient way to familiarize yourself with how it feels is to get zapped by another hypnotist.

Also, the internet is full of both useful and outdated information about self-hypnosis. Most self-hypnosis scripts have long, progressive-relaxation inductions which can be time-consuming both to record and to listen to. I recommend using the Elman induction, which should get you under in just a few minutes. Add a deepener and then your suggestions. My self-hynposis recordings used to be at least a half-hour long and now they are about ten or fifteen minutes long.

I recommend downloading the freeware Audacity sound-editing program for recording scripts. You can create separate files for inductions and wake-ups and suggestions, and string them together in the program. You can also export to CD for ease of listening, like in the car (just kidding on the car thing!).

Audacity is a little daunting when you first get it but there are lots of Youtube tutorials for using it.

Why look at it as "tricking yourself?" Framing it that way seems counterproductive, as you are mentally reinforcing a notion that going into trance is something that's not desirable, fun and enjoyable, and it is.

Sounds like you may have been taken advantage of by other hypnotists and it's created a trust issue for you. I'm just guessing here, though.

This definitely sounds like you are either too analytical, doubtful that the process really works or harboring some fear about hypnosis (or all three). Maybe you can find a hypnotist you trust to hypnotize you and give you some suggestions to make the process of going into trance via self-hypnosis easier.

Definitely a good idea. I get much more from my custom recordings than I do from mass-market canned recordings. No one knows you better than yourself, of course, so it's an ideal approach.

Since you seem resistant to (or just too analytical about) the process, why not take some baby steps in approaching it. Write a simple script that helps you relax and feel good in the trance state. Nothing more--just that. Make it an enjoyable, desirable process. Listen to it for a few weeks with no other goal but just to relax utterly and enjoy the altered state of awareness. Later on, add suggestions to make going into trance easier and easier every time you do it. And even later, you can begin to add suggestions to improve your life.

Whatever you are most comfortable with. You can also use the Chevreul pendulum to poll your subconscious and find out which is better (you vs. I, permissive vs. authoritation suggestions, direct or indirect, etc.)

What do you really want out of life? What are the problem areas you'd genuinely like to improve? As noted, since you seem to be having trouble with the process of self-hypnosis, your early scripts should be about making the process easier, desirable and (gasp) even fun. Add stuff in later as needed.

Although I agree that no one like to do chores (I certainly don't and have not ever addressed the issue with self-hypnosis), I'm uncertain how motivating yourself to study is somehow "betraying yourself."

Lol, divram, there does seem to be a good bit of spamming about... and if I may join in! :D

I trained as a hypnotist from two very good sources, but never found that self-hypnosis worked too well for me.

So (here's the spammy bit) I've started to buy mp3 downloads from our own dear Uncommon Knowledge. 4 so far, and they're brilliant.
