This is an induction designed for therapeutic hypnosis sessions. It is a good idea to have a CD of nature sounds (birds chirping, running water, a gentle breeze, etc) playing softly in the background.

The Induction

Close your eyes and breathe deeply. Breathe in through your nose and out through your mouth. As you feel the cool air flow through your nostrils begin to countdown on each inhalation, from ten down to one. And as you countdown from ten to one, feel your mind and your body becoming more and more relaxed.

10…
9…
8…Breathing deeply.
7…
6…Counting down.
5…
4…Relaxing deeply.
3…
2…Down into a deep relaxation.
1…

Good. Allow your breathing to flow naturally now.

Take a moment to enjoy just how relaxed you feel. From the top of your head, all the way down to the tip of your toes. You feel deeply and completely relaxed.

As you enjoy your relaxation you may notice that you can hear the soft, gentle sounds of nature.

Allow these sounds to conjure up images in your mind. Images of nature all around you.

Picture the tall trees with birds perched up high, singing to each other.

Imagine the crisp sound and feel of the dried leaves beneath your feet.

Feel the warmth of the sun against your skin.

Visualize a small stream with a gentle current of water that washes away any anxiety or tension you may be feeling. Allow it to all wash away until all you can feel is a deep relaxation.

You are at one with nature, and nature is at one with you.

(Optional portion) And I would like you to know that this is a place in your mind that you can come to whenever you want. Whenever you want to feel completely relaxed simply close your eyes, breathe deeply and become one with nature once more.

Now you can move onto a deepener or begin the hypnotic suggestion portion of the session.

Past life regression hypnosis is an intensely spiritual subject matter, and one that deserves serious consideration during your healing process.

With respect to all the folks who don’t believe in past life regression, it is a wondrous healing modality.

If you are one of those folks on the fence right now, keep an open mind and read on.

If your body and mind are experiencing inexplicable pain and suffering, (especially if you are young), the soul has been ill for lifetimes. Past life intruding on present life. A type of “residue” you brought into this life that needs to be resolved and cleared away.

My own experiences with past life regression hypnosis have been intense and in all cases, the past life that surfaced during my hypnosis completely relieved the issue at hand in my present day life.

Oh sure….it’s entertaining to have a “past life guru” tell you of your greatness in a past life. But! Everything you ever need to know is right inside your own mind….right now. All you need to do is access it.

Here is an excellent exercise (I just did the other day) to access the wealth of knowledge that is within your own mind right now.

Here is what you need: A glass of water, a writing journal (or some paper), a space inside or outside where you can have about 20 minutes of some peace and quiet.

Tips: I recommend doing this exercise ONLY if you are physically strong and healthy. You must be relaxed but alert.

Before doing any kind of spiritual exercise, I personally use a prayer of protection. Humbly ask the Almighty and the Heavens (or whatever you believe) for protection, assistance and guidance. I ask that any and all information revealed to me be for the purpose of resolving past issues so that I may achieve my highest good in this lifetime. Thank them….amen.

Let’s begin…

Start with a breathing exercise. Deep breath in through the nose (focus on filling the lower portions of your lungs with rich oxygen) and blow out through the mouth. Force the air out until there is nothing left. Repeat about 5 times and allow your breath to become relaxed and rhythmic.

If you are lying down, place your hands at your sides. Do not cross your feet or hands (important) just relax your entire body. Close your eyes and focus on your breathing for a minute or two. Just gentle rhythmic breathing.

Begin your countdown from 10 back to 1. With each number, allow yourself to relax further and further. Feel yourself just sink into your bed/chair. Allow every muscle to relax from head to toe.

With your eyes closed, visualize yourself walking up a beautiful path to a gorgeous mansion. Observe the greenery and colorful landscaping along the path.

As you walk up to the door, you notice a plaque with your name on it. This is your house;). Walk up to the door, open it and visualize your “Dream Team” (this is what I call it). You dream team can be Angels of light, Spirit Guides, loved ones on the other side, whatever you believe and feel safest with.

Ask them to take you to the basement of the home. Allow them to guide you to the stairway you will need to walk down to go into the basement. You walk down first. Your “Dream Team” is behind you supporting you every step of the way.

Begin descending down the stairs until you reach the bottom of the stairs and have entered a long hallway.

In this hallway are many doors. Each door is unique in it’s color, design, decoration, etc.

You need to enter the door you feel most drawn to. Which door captures your attention? When you are ready, enter the door.

NOTE: There may be doors you are reluctant to open. Do not enter those areas unless you are completely comfortable in doing so. ALSO! Never pre-judge the information that comes to you, Just go with it.

Once the door is open, observe where you are. Look around and be mindful of your surroundings. Begin mentally recording all the information: what you are wearing, your name, people around you, the time period, etc.

You should very quickly know who and where you are. If you do not, turn to your dream team and ask them. Take a mental note of their response.

Now begins the journey. Why is it you have returned to THIS life? What is it you need to resolve by returning to this life? Is there wisdom from this life you need to resolve a present day issue? Spend as much time as you need to experience what is going on.

When you “feel” you are complete, return to full consciousness. I usually turn back around and visualize walking back out the door, up the stairs and out the front door until I reach the path I originally walked in from. Before I open my eyes, I look down and visualize roots growing out of my feet, into the earth.

When you open your eyes, drink your water and write down all your thoughts and experiences. You may find as you start writing, more memories come up. Go with it!

You may be thinking “was that real”? I assure you it is. The memory of the lifetime that surfaces during your hypnosis is the lifetime that needs to be acknowledged and cleared. Or perhaps the information and wisdom from that lifetime will now resolve a present life issue for you. There are any number of possibilities.

Brace yourself! Sometimes it takes a bit of processing…..you may begin to “feel” things or think of things you have not thought of in a long time. More often than not it will have a direct connection with an issue in your present day life.

The most important thing is just let the memories flow. It may be difficult as it may stir up emotions and memories you have repressed. Do your best to stay comfortable and acknowledge these memories, do not resist them. It’s your soul’s way of “taking out the garbage”.

Happy Healing to YOU!

Self Hypnosis has been used for many decade as a treatment for many problems and issues that people have on a daily basis. Its applications are really wide and can be helpful for areas such as the weight loss, the smoking, the self confidence, the public speaking fear and many others.

The first thing you need to understand about hypnosis is that it’s not a process that is effective if you don’t believe in it. I could spend all day trying to hypnotize you and to help you achieve some type of result you want, but if you don’t trust me or the process it’s not going to work.

Our habits and beliefs are stored in our unconscious mind and some of them are really in depth. Therefore, if we want to change some of them we can’t do it by simply choosing or wanting it at a conscious level. Something must be changed in the subconscious, whether through affirmations, meditation or self hypnosis. If you don’t understand this process, there is no ‘new year’s eve goal’ that is going to be achieved.

Our willpower is the scarcest resource at our disposal. Moreover it get consumed pretty quickly by internal frictions and thoughts. It’s no surprise then that people who choose to rely only on that is destined to fail. I used to do the same, so I out myself into that list for sure. It’s when I discovered the powers of self hypnosis that the game changed.

So in order to self hypnotize yourself, the first step is to relax. And by that I don’t mean simply sit down. You need to consciously let go of all the thoughts and problems, take a very deep breath and relax all muscles.

Once you are there, you need to repeat yourself some sentences, in form of affirmation that you have previously written down and memorized. In that relaxed state, the subconscious is more receptive and it will get all what you put into it. Of course there are some rules for the scripts to be. The most important one is that they need to be in the positive and in the present form.

Another thing many people overlook is the visualization process that can go along with the affirmations. If you visualize your outcome, while you repeat it to your subconscious mind, the chances of success increase dramatically.

It’s crucial that while you do your self hypnosis sessions you feel also what it is that you want. You need to think as if you were already experiencing the desired outcome. It’s not easy at first and requires practice. However, the more you do it the better you’ll become at it.

Self hypnosis won’t change things overnight. However, if done properly for few days and weeks can bring incredible results. You can get rid of bad habits such as smoking, binge eating, fingernail eating, fear of public speaking, shyness just to name a few.

So go ahead and learn more about this process. I bet that you see incredible results.

Long ago and far, far away…

The stone carvings of ancient Egypt offer pictorial evidence that, as early as 1000BC, ‘sleep temples’ provided a sanctuary for healing. The temple priests used formal inductions for trance which form the basis of the techniques we use today. Sanskrit writings also tell us of the ‘healing temples’ in India. Europe soon followed and such temples flourished during the period of the Roman Empire.

The practice of ‘laying on of hands’ began to gain popularity and became fashionable as Edward the Confessor (1042 – 1066 A.D) practiced his ‘royal touch’. His healing procedures were even formally recognised by the Church of England.

So, during the Middle Ages, as royalty lost interest, fashion changed and the concept of ‘suggestion healing’ became synonymous with tales of sorcerers and the dark arts. It was at this time that many of the misconceptions about trance and suggestion we hear today were formed.

This brings the tale into the 1500′s, when a Swiss MD named Paracelsus began to use magnets for healing. Magnets were also used as healing devices by Valentine Greatrakes during the 1600′s. Healing magnets remained prevalent into the 1700′s. In 1725, a Jesuit Priest named Maximilian Hehl used magnets for healing. It was one of Hehl’s students, Franz Anton Mesmer MD, who really brought the healing power of magnets into the public eye.

Mesmer coined the term ‘animal magnetism’, referring to the magnetic energy within the patient rather than the magnet. Mesmer left his home in Vienna and moved to Paris and during the late 1700′s his client list was the who’s who of French aristocracy. However, Mesmer’s glory days were to come to an abrupt end when the medical community began to challenge his methods.

A Board of Enquiry was convened, the most notable contributors being the chemist Lavoisier, Benjamin Franklin and an MD expert in pain control named Guillotin. The Board censured and discredited Mesmer’s work and he returned to Vienna to practice out of the public eye. From 1795 until 1985, the idea of utilising energy as a conduit for healing was discarded by Western medicine and psychology.

The date is now 1840 and an English physician named James Braid became interested in mesmerism after watching a carnival demonstration. Intending to discredit the technique, he initiated a study which captured his imagination. He noticed that eye fixation and pre-framing were important elements in trance induction and coined the phrase ‘hypnosis‘ for the first time.

The word ‘hypnosis’ is derived from the Greek ‘hypnos’, meaning sleep. By the time Braid had realised that this term was inaccurate, it had stuck. Could he have imagined it would still be used in the 21st Century?

Around the same time, while working in India, Dr. James Esdaile, began to experiment with hypnotic anaesthesia, with outstanding success. Whilst the Indian culture conditioned people to respond to hypnosis, the same was not true when he returned to England, and he was discredited by the British Medical Society. With the introduction of chemical anaesthesia in the mid-1800′s, healing through hypnosis returned to the sideshows.

1864 and two medical doctors named Liebault and Bernheim established the Nancy School of Hypnosis in the city of Nancy, France. A young Sigmund Freud studied at the Nancy School for a while, before abandoning Hypnosis for his new ‘talking therapy’ which became psychoanalysis.

In the early 1900′s, a French pharmacist named Emile Coue made an important discovery, the power of autosuggestion. His famous formula was, ‘Every day, in every way, I am getting better and better.’ Coue noticed that suggestion only works if it is accepted by the client, thus, all hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

The world of hypnosis was very quiet for the next 50 years, although studies did continue, the most notable being Clark Hull who, in 1933 wrote ‘Hypnosis and Suggestibility’, Boris Sidis wrote ‘The Psychology of Suggestion’ and Milne Bramwell wrote ‘The History of Hypnosis’.

In 1958, the American Medical Association approved the therapeutic use of Hypnosis. This was a turning point worthy of note.

The great hypnotherapists and writers on hypnotherapy of our time followed. George Estabrooks, Andre Weitzenhoffer, Dave Elman, Leslie LeCron and Milton Erickson. Erickson practiced hypnosis on a daily basis between 1920 and 1980, sometimes seeing 14 clients a day. His learnings changed the face of hypnosis forever.

Today, Jeffrey Zeig and Ernest Rossi keep Milton Erickson’s legacy alive at the Erickson Foundation in Phoenix, USA.

With all of this rich and colourful history, how is it that Hypnosis is still so widely misconceived in the year 2011? The distinction between what we see on the stage and the TV and Hypnotherapy to enable personal change and transformation with professional, experienced and well qualified Hypnotherapists is still very blurred. Let’s take a look at some of the most common misconceptions.

Hypnosis is the domain of the weak-minded and gullible. The truth is that the most intelligent people with strong imaginations and a flair for the creative are usually the best hypnotic subjects. They are able to wilfully suspend their disbelief and break through the critical faculty barrier which separates the conscious and the unconscious mind.

Hypnosis means letting go of personal power and revealing secrets. Not so, whilst experiencing any level of hypnotic trance you are actually more aware than in the normal waking state and able to select information accordingly. Your unconscious mind becomes acutely focussed on learning and initiating the required personal change. It hears what it wants to hear and sees what it wants to see in a highly selective manner.

Hypnosis represents a risk of humiliation. We’ve all heard about or been witness to stage hypnosis. A group of very willing individuals submit to hypnotic trance in order to entertain the audience. The individuals who volunteer their involvement are very carefully selected and are completely willing to do something silly in the name of entertainment. Those who are not are quickly identified and sent back to their seats. Stage hypnotists are very skilled at what they do and the best are extremely proficient at initiating rapid inductions. Stage hypnotism is entertainment and we should view it as such. The truth is that your unconscious mind is a very moral mind and if you object to any suggestion, you will choose to ignore it and not comply.

Hypnosis means a loss of control. During an Hypnotic trance, you are totally in control and fully aware of yourself and your environment. In fact, your senses become heightened and attuned to everything that happens around you. You can stop the trance at any time of your choosing, you are totally in control.

Hypnosis is something to fear. The history of hypnosis has clearly demonstrated why there remains a residual fear of hypnosis and its long ago association with ‘the dark side’. The hypnotic state is a normal, natural, relaxed state and is experienced on a daily basis. For example, the driving trance. Every driver, at some time has missed their turning or made a journey without being able to remember the entire drive. This is an example of a light trance state. If an emergency occurred whilst in this state, the unconscious mind would react immediately to keep you safe, as the awareness remains heightened and alert. What about the TV trance, when you have been so involved in a programme, that you have been unaware of someone talking to you? We all enter into a light trance every day, it’s a completely natural state.

Hypnosis means sleep. The only feeling associated with hypnosis which is different from the normal, waking state is one of complete relaxation. Whilst it is true that people who respond really well to hypnosis and are able to reach really deep states of trance may drop off into an energising and revitalising sleep, the general experience is of deep relaxation. Hypnosis is really not about becoming ‘zonked out’ or unaware. As we have already discussed, trance represents a heightened state of awareness. There is also a misconception that there may be an inability to awaken from trance. Remember, hypnosis is not sleep and you can come out of the hypnotic state at any time.

Hypnosis is a gimmick and has no real benefits for personal change. Hypnosis is a wilful suspension of disbelief and a vehicle for communication with the unconscious mind. Once great communication links have been forged with the unconscious mind, change becomes easy. Any unwanted and unhelpful states, behaviours or habits can be modified or removed easily and effortlessly, through clear communication with the unconscious mind.

Hypnotists are manipulative. This assumption is a non-truth because of the evidence that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis, you just follow instructions offered to you by the hypnotherapist. The hypnotic state is about learning to go into the hypnotic state. Those who boast that “I can’t be hypnotised” are absolutely right. Hypnotic trance is something that you choose for yourself. Nobody can force hypnosis on you, you have to choose to accept it. All hypnosis is self-hypnosis.

Hypnosis is brain washing. Brain washing is a very specific 5 step process, definitely not achievable with hypnosis. Firstly, a person is removed from their normal environment, then they are deprived of their senses. They are punished when they disagree and rewarded when they agree and chemical interventions are employed. Definitely nothing to do with hypnosis!

So, your misconceptions allayed, hypnosis is an amazing experience for total relaxation and for enabling incredible transformative personal change. It is a process which is self-initiated, self-controlled and certainly not to be feared. Experience it for yourself. Choose a well qualified and experienced hypnotherapist and ask to see their Ethical Code. Then relax and enjoy.

Panic Attacks are very much a condition of the mind, just as hypnosis is a form of treatment of the mind. Hypnosis works to provide relief from panic attack by reducing and eliminating the triggers and causes of panic attacks such as stress, anxiety, irregular breathing patterns and negativity whilst providing you with a coping mechanism.

There has been a certain shift in the self improvement thanks to books such as “The Secret” by Rhonda Byrne that positive thinking and visualization are all it takes to get whatever you want. While both these techniques do have merit, the fact of the matter is that thoughts without actions get nothing done. Think about it this way, if you were stuck in a burning building would you rather have a group of people outside visualizing the flames dying down, or would you rather have a team of firefighters working hard to put out the fire? I know which I’d rather have!

If there are goals in your life you wish to achieve you need to take action. You also need to set yourself real goals.

I bought “Scripts And Strategies In Hypnotherapy” by Roger Allen many years ago while I was training to be a clinical hypnotherapist at the London College Of Clinical Hypnotherapy. It was recommended to our class by one of our teachers, Peter Mabbutt, who I noticed contributed a small testimonial/review on the back of the book. He basically said, and I agree, that this book is a useful addition for newly qualified hypnotherapists, and a source of inspiration for the more experienced.
