Hypnosis is a process of speaking to the subconscious mind rather than conscious mind, in order to achieve a goal or change their views on an idea.

This can be done by someone else or by one s self. The one done by one s self is called self hypnosis.

You can also do it by yourself. To start self hypnosis, understand its basic knowledge as mentioned below:

What is?

Self hypnosis is hypnosis done by a person to himself relaxing and inducing himself into a hypnotic state. By doing self hypnosis, the person can realign his subconscious thinking with what his conscious mind wants his subconscious to think.

The process can help improvement in various areas, including health.

The use

Hypnosis helps relaxing and calming. This makes hypnosis, particularly self hypnosis be chosen as a way of reducing stress.

The other benefits of self hypnosis are to help people quit smoking and losing weight.

Actually, other goals excluding health are also possible. Many people use it to do better at work or school.

Shortly, self hypnosis will give good result in a wide-ranging part of your life.

Concerns

There are many concerns on hypnosis. One of them is the fear of having the mind controlled, especially if you have seen a stage hypnotist act. Actually, this fear shows you that you can do self hypnosis easier. Because, you are in complete control of everything that happens.

The other one is the fear of being unable to wake up while being hypnotized. Actually, no need to concern about that. Remember that when you take a nap, even if you don t tell yourself to wake up, you still do naturally wake up. Also, you ll still feel hungry, thirsty and tired. So, your body is still functioning. Your body would simply wake you up naturally.

To start

Simply get into a comfortable position. Bring yourself in a hypnotic state, one in which your brain is very focused and concentrated on one thought. While in the hypnotic state, make suggestions to yourself, as in your script. Wake yourself up, with a slow counting sign. In this step, it may be helpful to add in a bit of the script I will wake up and I will feel energized to work on my goal.

The magic words

Your script is the set of magic words you say to yourself during hypnosis. It is a lot better to repeat them at intervals throughout the day, just like a mantra.

A good script is something short. It should be short enough to be easily memorized. It has also to be positive. Don t use negative form. It has also to be as if you ve already completed a part of your goal.

You don t actually need to believe your script. It is there to convince you of what you are saying. If you ve already believed it, you wouldn t need to keep repeating it to yourself.

Are Dieters Wasting Their Money on the Latest Diet fad

Obesity according to recent research has reached epidemic proportions in the Western world, it seems that nearly every day a new sure fire diet plan is released, promising to make you a shadow of your former self. Unfortunately the reality soon disappears, not because the diet does not work, its due to the lack of will power.

90% of any thing we do starts in the mind , the other 10% is used in the actual physical action of what ever we are doing.

How many times have you heard about people starting and succeeding on a diet, losing the weight they so desperately wanted to shed, and then a few months later they have gradually edged back into their old eating habits and the pounds have rapidly gone back on. What is it that they need to do to maintain their ideal weight, without the depressing effect of yoyo dieting.

Recent research has proved that you can recondition your mind to permanently change your eating habits through the use of self hypnosis. Nearly 2 years ago I went on the Atkins diet, I lost 30lbs in 2 months. Due to boredom and a lack of will power I had regained that weight within 14 weeks.

A friend suggested going to a hypnotherapist, unfortunately the cost was prohibitive, it was then that I discovered the amazing effects of self hypnosis, for less than the cost of a weeks supply of the wrong foods I purchased a CD by a top hypnotherapist that totally changed my life, within 2 weeks my cravings had stopped my diet was healthy and I was and still am enjoying what I eat, my weight dropped to the level I wanted and has remained there, no more yoyo.

Self hypnosis has finally been recognised as not being a stage show gimmick, recent research has shown that the use of self hypnosis can condition the mind to help overcome everyday problems and habits permanently, and with no side effects (i.e. clucking like a chicken or barking like a dog). Any one of us can benefit from this excellent form of therapy just by listening to a cd as we settle down to sleep at night,our lives can be improved markedly, whether you want lose weight , stop smoking or take several strokes off your golf game. We all react differently to the subliminal messages on self hypnosis recordings, some of us notice changes in a few days , some take a bit longer, we can all benefit.

Self hypnosis can help you control migraines, allergies, back pain, stress all without the use of drugs, but always get a second opinion from your doctor, before stopping prescribed drugs.

First I must say that I consider myself to be an Expert in the area of providing Hypnotic (and Magical) Entertainment. I say this not out of a sense of ego, but because although I am not an entertainer myself; Providing, Producing & Directing Hypnotic & Magical Entertainment has been my Exclusive Business Focus for nearly 15 years now. I am also a certified professional hypnotist, but I would NEVER profess to be a “Hypnotic Entertainer”!

I have worked with a wide variety of Stage Hypnotists over the years in very many capacities. After a few years I came to one conclusion… All Hypnotists are certainly not created equally!

The entertainment provided within the Fair, Festival & Event Industries is certainly a reflection of the knowledge of the individuals whose job it is to actually secure & book the talent. Unfortunately, over the years I have found that many people in these jobs do not know what they need to know when it comes to booking Stage Hypnotists. Most individuals in those positions simply know that having a Hypnotist is a crowd pleaser. They are right in their thinking on the one hand… having a Stage Hypnotist perform a few times each day during the run of an event is most certainly a drawing act. Many attendees return repeatedly to the event just to see the Hypnotist. I can state this from personal experience, since about 20 years ago, I myself was what I now call in the business… a “hypno-junkie”. These are the people who are so fascinated by Hypnosis Shows that they just can’t seem to get enough of them. So began my business career & involvement in providing this type of entertainment, although I used to “pretend” to hypnotize my friends in the dressing room of my Home Ec Class in Junior High School.

Let me begin by stating that MOST of the individuals who sell themselves as “Hypnotic Entertainers” are simply people who have either studied hypnosis in one way or another, and/or received certification of some type… many by attendance at a weekend seminar. Know that Hypnosis is NOT governed or regulated on a National level, and VERY FEW states regulate it in any way whatsoever. Obtaining Certifications and/or Registrations with local or national Hypnosis organizations is VERY easily achieved… therefore ANYONE can call themselves a Hypnotist, with or without any type of study, knowledge or “certification”.

Just drink that in for a minute. I could train & prep YOU (in just a few hours) to get on a stage and perform a Hypnosis Show. Would you consider yourself qualified as a Stage Hypnotist / Performer… I think not! But that is exactly much of what is on stages across the country today in my Industry! That is a pretty scary thought isn’t it… since we are dealing with people’s psyche in these shows?

Having some virtually worthless Hypnotic “certification” certainly does not qualify an individual to be knowledgeable enough to actually handle an abreaction (a negative emotional response) should it occur during a performance (which it does frequently).

Most certainly, having some “certification” DOES NOT MAKE THEM AN ENTERTAINER… and I am here to say THAT is one HUGE difference that buyers of talent need to look at ! Is this individual that you are about to hire, an “Entertainer” first and foremost, who simply uses Hypnosis as his tool to entertain with? OR Is this individual you are about to hire a person with some easily obtained “paper” credentials who is TRYING TO BE AN ENTERTAINER?

Some buyers of talent are very hung up on the Hypnotist having “paper credentials”, when most of these buyers don’t realize how worthless it really is. Point in fact is that having that “paper” is absolutely NO INDICATION of what you are actually buying in the way of suitable entertainment for your event & attendees!

In my personal business of delivering Hypnotic Entertainment, I am affiliated with only one Featured Performer. I frequently look for QUALITY & QUALIFIED Stage Hypnotists whose services I can use in cases such as double bookings for my own Featured Show. I rarely find those individuals, since the Quality Acts & Performers are generally as booked up as we are. I am very frequently approached by other Hypnotists who want me to book them… so I acquire their promotional materials… I go see their “shows”… and I repeatedly turn them down! I will not attach my name to “entertainment” such as that delivered by most of these hypnotic performers .

Look for the “Entertainer” qualities first. Is he/she charismatic? What types of High Venue & Events have they performed for or do they spend most of their time in a Hypno THERAPY practice? Do they have many years of studying the mind and Hypnosis behind them, or are they what I call a “weekend wonder”? How long have they actually been performing… most entertainers started out as a child in some way or another. Is their show active? Do they musically choreograph their shows? Are they “clinical” in their appearance & delivery? Is their “show” merely a “demonstration” of Hypnosis instead of an entertaining performance? Are they trying to sell you by using the fact that they are “certified”?

Very importantly what about the Ethics involved… is the material and routine structure of their show appropriate for your attendees and audiences? I cannot tell you how many times I have seen Stage Hypnotists crossing that line at family style venue. I have often watched them at Fairs, performing skits that were sexual in nature and very inappropriate for family shows. I have watched Stage Hypnotists seriously degrade and humiliate their volunteers… all in the name of “fun”. I have watched Hypnotists elicit negative emotions such as anger & the like from their subjects in shows. Folks, our subconscious minds take in & remember EVERY sensatory experience in our lives… therefore it may be long after a performance when a volunteer has a negative experience due to their involvement with a Hypnotist Show.

As artists & entertainers I believe that we have a great responsibility to provide & deliver positive & appropriate performance, especially in the family environments. Factually speaking, I couldn’t tell you how many times, sometimes months or years after a show, I have had a volunteer tell me how their life changed for the better in some way as a direct result of their having been in one of our shows. THAT is what should be the “norm” for Stage Hypnotist acts. We simply bring their inner child out to play for a while in a very responsible & entertaining way… AND we leave them feeling empowered by their experience with the shows I offer. I simply wish that all Stage Hypnotists took this as seriously as I do… and I wish that all buyers of talent knew what to look for!

Our minds are simply incredible and very powerful. Stage Hypnosis is a terrific form of entertainment… when used properly, and by a real “entertainer”!

There are plenty of Stage Hypnotists who sell themselves “cheaply” and unfortunately this is often a primary consideration & criteria of buyers of talent. I am simply here to say that this is not an area of performance where you want to cut costs - Spend the money and hire a Pro or please don t hire it at all! After monitoring numerous related factors for well over a decade I urge you to ask the hard questions when contracting this type of act for your event.

The fact that I am in the Magic Business as well… I say to you…. don’t believe most of what you see and/or hear in the promo materials of some of these performers. Illusion is as much a part of my business life as is the Hypnotic portion. Know that anything can be made to “appear” to be something it is not… and that is the key… “appear to be”!

I have even personally had individuals whom I mentored in Hypnotic & Magical Entertainment list MY business achievements as their own on their websites… I have documented where they have removed my photo from actual newspaper stories & replaced it with their own photo on their promo, and so on and so forth.

My point is that we live in a very electronic age where things can be easily and readily altered and changed to give the receiver of information an impression that is anything but honest. Don’t buy into the illusion… but Do continue to buy quality entertainers! Integrity Does Matter.

We all owe it to the people who attendee our events to deliver Positive Entertainment Experiences. We ALL need more humor in our lives, and Stage Hypnosis is a wonderful type of entertainment that fills that need. All I can say from my perspective of the Business of providing these shows, is Please Be More Thorough when considering whom you contract within my industry. I believe that if all of us in the Entertainment Business work together to deliver & provide empowering performances, we will be contributing to the uplifting of society as a whole… and THAT I consider to be an element of REAL SUCCESS!

I will leave you with a verse that I penned a number of years back - it speaks (albeit metaphorically) to my involvement with Hypnotic & Magical Entertainment… I call it The Magic of You… and it goes like this…

In All Of Creation You are Unique and
Dreams Can Be Had For Those Who Seek.
Our Lives Are But A Simple Illusion…
Tainted By Perception… and Delusion.

So Believe In the Power and the Truth and the Light
Because the Key is Within… The Key of Vision & Clear Sight.

Transform Your Reality & Awaken Your Soul and
Cease Not Belief In Your Own Personal Goal…
Because Treasures Await For You To Find
Simply Pass Through The Open Window Of
Your Very Own Subconscious Mind.

The Miracle is There…
The Dimension May Be New…
But It Has Been There All Along…
Because IT IS THE MAGIC OF EACH & EVERY ONE OF YOU
