Is your brain leading your life, or are you just carrying it around? Many times we find that we're operating on auto-pilot. We are predictable creatures of habit, and our minds get lazy. If you find yourself in a rut, unable to make changes in your life, then this book will get you on track to run your life the way you want it, not the way it is going. This book is not a run of the mill self-hypnosis filled with pseudo-science. However, it includes medical and scientific information for those interested in hypnosis at a deeper level. Some hypnosis books will give you just enough information to let you experience hypnosis, but then you do that every day anyway. In this book there are sample scripts for inductions as well as guides for improving the power of the sub-conscious mind. It also covers some of the fears and misconceptions about hypnosis. Here is an excerpt from the book. "Myths and Misconceptions My favorite misconception is that hypnosis is of the Devil or Satan and if you open your mind to hypnosis, demons will take over. When you think about it for a moment you might realize how silly this idea really is. If you believe that Satan can take over simply because you are consciously and purposely connecting the two God-given minds humans have, then you are nothing more than a sitting duck for all sorts of malevolent forces, false teachings, and erroneous ideas. Also, if that were true then we've all paid the price a long time ago. Remember, we all go in and out of hypnotic states many times every day. In fact, when you daydream, you are probably in a light hypnotic state. When you were a child, you were in hypnosis almost continually for the first seven or eight years of your life." Another quote: "Some Truisms Regarding Hypnosis In a therapeutic setting: -You are never opening your mind to anyone but yourself. -You are always in control and aware of what is going on around you. -You are always able to emerge at any time that you want. In fact, the hypnotist cannot arouse you from your hypnotic state. Only you can. -You will never accept suggestions from the Hypnotherapist or Hypnotist that you do not want to accept. While experiencing hypnosis you make decisions about every suggestion. You decide to accept, reject, or be indifferent to it. One of the biggest fears that people have is that they will lose control and possibly reveal a deep secret they want to keep to themselves. Don't worry, you will not reveal anything you don't want known. Remember, you are always in control. "What if someone plants an idea or suggestion that I rob a bank or kill someone? I've seen this in the movies and I don't want it to happen to me." Or "What if it's in my nature to rob a bank and I just don't know it?" What's stopped you so far? "Oh, yeah, duh!" This book is a "Must Have" for someone interested in becoming a hypnotist and understanding how hypnosis works. A must have for anyone wanting to learn about or enter the hypnosis experience and be able to put themselves into that experience within a few seconds. Dave Elman, one of the premier hypnotists during the mid-1900s could drop into a hypnotic state within four or five seconds and then have dental work done without Novocain or pain. While written from a professional and somewhat technical point of view, tere are experiments and practices which will give you a tremendous ability to replicate your experience, and not just happen upon it with a quick introduction. For fun experiments, and relaxation exercises as well as giving the reader a good foundation and understanding of hypnosis.
