About this course

Welcome to Secrets of Self-Hypnosis Revealed

  • Your videos are in the next section. The first few videos help you build skill in areas that help you to enter self hypnosis.
  • Then, I’ll lead you through a self hypnosis induction.
  • In that induction, we’ll establish a re-induction cue so that you can enter self hypnosis almost instantly, whenever it’s safe to do so, and you wish to enter hypnosis.
  • In the last section, we'll explore how to give yourself suggestions.
  • After you’ve completed the course, you can construct your own suggestions and use the re-induction cue to enter self hypnosis and drive those suggestions home. While you can review the course again as a refresher, you won’t need to go through it to hypnotize yourself.

Since hypnosis is a natural state, it's rare for anyone to have a problem. Just in case though, check out the Contraindications, Terms of Use and Legalese below, before you start.

Terminology

During the program, I use the term “unconscious mind.” That refers to any part of the mind you’re not fully aware of at that moment. According to experiments, the conscious mind is capable of attention on about 7 things at one time. Yet, it’s doing so much more. For instance, you may be humming a song as you’re walking down the street, but be unaware that you’re humming. When you type, you’re not necessarily conscious of each key you hit--but your unconscious mind is! That’s what I’m talking about.

Legalese

Contraindications for hypnosis

We all go in and out of trance each day so it’s safe. However, there are those for whom it is not recommended to experience a formal trance without consent from their medical or mental health professional.

  • If you have a psychotic disorder or a delusional/hallucinatory disorder such as schizophrenia, consult a medical or psychological professional before entering hypnosis.
  • The same goes for pathological personality disorders and those with drug or alcohol psychosis, those with dementia or senility and folks with suicidal tendencies.
  • If you have epilepsy or narcolepsy, check with your doctor first.
  • If you are under the care of a mental health professional, please check with them before going through this program.

Possible side effects

Mostly, the side effects of hypnosis are feelings of relaxation and well-being. A small percentage of people experience a headache or feelings of sluggishness upon emerging from trance. That’s usually a sign that they did not completely emerge. In that case, you can simply enter trance again and come out more slowly. The side effects of hypnosis are overwhelmingly positive, with similar effects to that of deep meditation. Many report that upon emerging, they feel like they’ve had a good night’s sleep!

Terms of use

I can't control what you think. If you decide that a tomato plant is telling you to give up your worldly possessions and join an accordion ensemble (or if you fixate on any other idea), that's your doing--not mine, nor is it the result of hypnosis. By using this site, you agree that you are responsible for your own thoughts and the consequences thereof.

Enjoy, Keith Livingston
