Here is yet another efficient method for inducing self hypnosis. It goes like this: Lie down and close your eyes. Try to visualize a very pleasant scene.Think of yourself as actually there. If it is difficult at first, do not become annoyed. Try again. Once the image firmly takes hold, a heightened sense of suggestibility has been achieved which can be utilized as a means of inducing self hypnosis. I enthusiastically recommend this method for your use.

Let us now keep the following facts in mind as we go about our tasks: Hypnosis is defined as a highly suggestible state of mind. Our job in hypnosis and self hypnosis is to establish this highly suggestible state of mind and to use it as a means of implanting the proper suggestions. The [tag-tec]hypnotist[/tag-tec], in trying to establish this tractable state,might suggest to the subject that he picture himself floating on a cloud, or lying in a haystack, in a state of perfect calm and contentment. This will tend to create the proper hypnotic mood in the subject. If the hypnotist can capture the imagination of the subject sufficiently,[tag-tec]hypnosis[/tag-tec] is assured.

The subject must, himself, must learn to use his imagination in achieving self hypnosis. This is the reason, a fact we have previously mentioned numerous times, that the artistically inclined make good subjects. They have the enviable ability to project themselves in such a manner as to make themselves the best hypnotic subjects.

Most people are fond of music. This love for music can also be used for the purpose of self hypnosis. If records are carefully selected, with an ear for their soft and soothing effects, such great benefits of relaxation can be obtained from them that they can be used in paving the way to the final goal of self [tag-tec]hypnotic state[/tag-tec]. Music has definite psychological effects upon the nervous system. It is, therefore, necessary to get the proper type for [tag-tec]hypnotic induction[/tag-tec], since only soft and peaceful tones can pacify the human mind. This is the kind of music I recommend for both [tag-ice]hypnosis[/tag-ice] and [tag-ice]self hypnosis[/tag-ice].
