Self Hypnosis FAQs

What is a hypnosis trance?
A light mild trance is similar to a day dream, while a medium trance feels like that moment just before going to sleep, or the time when you are deeply involved in a good movie, or doing some artwork. A deep trance can take away feelings of pain, produce somnambulism, the eyes tend to move similar to REM sleep or
lucid dreaming, and the subject becomes highly suggestible, and often has no recall (depending on the hypnotist instructions)


Does the hypnotist control me?
Nobody under a trance can be induced to do anything against his or her will. In your normal waking state you have moral and ethical values, which will remain even under a deep trance.


What kind of people can reach a deep trance?
About 10% of the population can become deeply hypnotized. But a light/medium trance is also perfectly adequate for working with problems, cures, habits, phobias, and improved performance, bodybuilding, and with quit smoking, and for weight-loss, etc.


What does a hypnotic trance feel like?
Many of us can experience a "trance-like" state while listening to a pastor at church, listening to some good music, or reading a gripping novel, or even watching TV! Here are some of the most typical feelings one may experience when in a self-hypnosis hypnotic state: The eye lids may start to flutter, a general feeling of drowsiness, very relaxed, hypnotic feeling, the eyelids may seem heavier, the jaws muscles become relaxed, with the teeth unclenched, and maybe a dry mouth, some twitching or jerking of the muscles, a sense of well being, some may experience a strong urge to laugh or cry while under hypnosis, and feel warmer or even colder, with tingling or numbness in the limbs, unable to open the eyes, a sense of liberty, no sense of time or date, having less body-weight and feeling lighter, or even floating, lucid visions, lack of pain, euphoria, happy, tranquil and content.

Hypnosis feels very nice and relaxing, a natural state that feels similar to that feeling you get just before you fall asleep at night. When you awaken, you feel refreshed, and just feel as if you are relaxing in a very comfortable place with your eyes closed. You can hear everything. Your subconscious mind uses the same set of ears as your conscious mind.


Can I be hypnotized in one session?
Everyone can be hypnotized but one has to be willing to do it. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis, which means if you want to do it, you will. The very small minority of people who have difficulty in a session are usually those who don't really want to be hypnotized (perhaps to debunk the idea); or can't relax and let go enough (perhaps fearing loss of control, which we know is a myth, or fearing the unknown) to go with the experience. Some things you can do to increase your ability to go into a trance easier and faster are practicing meditation, visualization, yoga or relaxation techniques.

 

Are the self-hypnosis results fast?
There are too many factors at work here, and also depends on your motivation level and commitment. Certain professional hypnotherapists can help to stop a phobia using suggestion, psychotherapy and subliminal messages. Some use reflexology and others acupuncture, or other self help alternative medicine. Shy and timid persons have been known to use hypnotherapy for self confidence. There are various types of hypnotherapy in the form of Mp3 or CDs such as insomnia that can be downloaded and played at home with a CD or an Mp3 player.


 

Jinny KendrickWhat happens if I stay in the hypnosis trance? Can I get stuck in there?
Hypnosis is a very natural and normal state and cannot hold anyone against his or her will. If a subject decided to stay in a deep trance and ignore the words of the hypnotist, then about 30 mins later would fall into a normal usual sleep and wake up. During a session, if there were an emergency, they could easily awaken themselves at any time at will.


Tam RobertsCan I wake up when I want?
At any time you want to emerge from the state of trance, for any reason, you will instantly, naturally open your eyes and become fully alert. No one can force you to stay in a hypnosis trance against your will. While people suffering from insomnia would prefer to stay in the trance the whole night long.


photo of gary brentWill I lose my memory using hypnosis?
Most people remember everything after hypnosis but that also depends on the depth of the trance, and also the particular commands of the hypnotist. (A hypnotherapist may suggest, that you will forget everything about your ex-partner, or at least to produce only vague memories that have no importance)


Lisa StanselAre stage hypnotists fake?
Anyone who volunteers with hypnosis is agreeing to play the part, whether they consciously admit it or not. Sometimes hypnotism can be an excuse to let your hair down and do silly things. Some hypnotists are fake, and have friends planted as volunteers in the audience, while other hypnotists are genuine, but still make a circus out of a very valuable science. Most of the bad rumors and myths about hypnotherapy come about from unscrupulous stage hypnotists that provoke bad press, and false tales.


Ruth NicksonIs hypnosis dangerous?
Generally hypnosis is harmless, and quite safe. One can never get stuck in a trance state, we usually respond to the "waking up script" and with a very case of a non-response, then we simply sleep it off for an hour or two and awaken normally. Certain problems can arise when an unqualified therapist uses a bad unprofessional script. e.g.. It's important that the affirmations are used in a positive manner or the result would be exactly the opposite of our goals. The subconscious mind cannot interpret negative words such as "no" and "not". Another problem area could be with hypnosis regression therapy, where an uneducated therapist could bring back unwanted memories or even provoke false or invented memories, that could lead to false accusations etc. It is a complex and sensitive procedure and must be studied and carefully planned by top hypnosis professionals.


GerryWhat is self-hypnosis?
Hypnosis is a physical condition in which most people that are induced into a hypnotic trance or hypnotized can have different and variable thoughts and actions. Some people are very susceptible to hypnotic suggestion and can reach an altered state of consciousness. It is a very normal and natural altered state of consciousness (an altered state of awareness), one we all experience from time to time in which the mind remains clear, alert and focused on something. Have you ever "become really absorbed" while watching TV? Or driven to work on "auto pilot?" That's the same kind of altered state as hypnosis. A misconception about hypnosis is that it's a frightening but it's actually very normal and very pleasant. Some people ask if they've really been hypnotized, just because it feels like such a normal state and they were expecting. Unlike meditation the mind is wide awake and full of thoughts, and unlike subliminal hypnosis, where the subject is unaware of the hypnosis suggestions.


Tom HaitesHow deep can I go using hypnosis?
The depth of the hypnotic state varies for each individual. About 10% of the population can reach a very deep somnambulist state, and even become avoid of pain, and the rest of us can reach a medium trance, that deepens with practice. But anyway a deep trance is not necessary for most positive self-hypnosis affirmations.


SandraDo many people use self-hypnosis or prefer one to one sessions?
More people should start using self-hypnosis, but many are wary, and some think that self-hypnosis appears too simple, and they think it's too easy and to good to be true. So they stop, thinking either it doesn't work or they're not doing it right. The big advantage of listening to audios at home is the price and the convenience. Many people feel much more comfortable at home alone, laying on a sofa with headphones and getting carried away on the journey.

Molly SmithHow do hypnotists put people into a trance?

I have designed numerous self-hypnosis CDs that combine many of the traditional induction programs but also using many extra tricks such as shamanic drum rhythms, sound effects, isochronic pulses, binaural beats and progressive hypnotic suggestion script, the tone of voice is important, the words (always in the positive mode) and sometimes a story or fairy tale journey with special sound effects to help relax the mind, while plugging in subliminal suggestions. those who enjoy meditation prefer a quiet room without any sounds, or just plain rhythmic music or drumming.
