35 useful scripts for self hypnosis, 11 Feb 2008
This review is from: Instant Self-hypnosis (Paperback)
This book is essentially a script book for self-hypnosis. At the beginning of the book is a general induction you can use to induce yourself into a trance state, followed by a selection of 35 scripts for dealing with common issues and helping you to improve your life. You'll find scipts for weight-loss, confidence, motivation, public speaking, lucid dreaming, better sex life and many others.
The book is marketed as using hypnosis while you're awake. This may seem to make it different from other hypnosis books, unless you understand that you are using hypnosis every time you use your imagination and get absorbed by your inner experience - and for that matter any time you read any book that transports you into another world, the world described in that book and you become oblivious to your environment to a certain degree, you are in hypnosis - much like you are in hypnosis when you are absorbed in the action of the movie you are watching on TV. The only difference is that with TV you get to watch the images, and while reading the book, you create them in your mind, according to your interpretation of the words.
You can use the scripts in this book either by reading them, but you can also record them on a tape and just relax and listen to them. You should use whatever method helps you to engage your imagination better and create a more vivid subjective experience.
This book was created for non-hypnotists - however even a professional hypnotist, particularly those who are new to hypnosis, may use this book as an additional resource - just as they would use any other script (patter) book.
Near the end of the book is a section on hypnotizing yourself while you write. This has brought to my mind another book "The Einstein Factor" and the method called "image streaming" which you may also experiment with; as well as mind-mapping, which is particularly useful for drawing the information out of your subconscious mind.
The next section, Suggestion Template, guides you through a process which will help you to create successful suggestions that will be customized to your personality, preferences and your specific outcome.
The book contains few additional sections with useful information on supercharging your affirmation and getting the best results out of your self-hypnosis session.

gets you into action, 17 Feb 2011
This review is from: Instant Self-hypnosis (Paperback)
Full marks as unlike many other books it is written in such a way that you find yourself doing it. As knowledge on a subject does not necessary make a difference with regards to changing your ways of doing, thinking, feeling according to your intentions, the author presents his method in such a way that I found myself in "action impacts the drift"-mode. So I use the information and, oh, least I forget, it's fun to do. Plus: stays with you without having to read and study it all over again if you fancy picking up methodology any time later after not having used it. Try it, be suprised how you suprise yourself. Easy going with good impact!
