Mention hypnosis in a group, and there will likely be a few audible snickers. Most people learn about it from films or programs highlighting the humorous but uncharacteristic antics of stage volunteers, and have never actually experienced the real phenomenon. It is a non-pharmaceutical way to alter human consciousness, and is neither exotic nor unusual. Self hypnosis audio recordings are a tool designed to help people achieve this mental state.
Although mapping the process taking place inside the brain is a complex procedure, people normally report changes in sensory input and perceptions, patterns of thought, and a temporary reduction in crippling inhibitions, while becoming more open to suggestion. A trained and trusted guide initially helps the subject block all interruptions using well-timed questions and soothing statements, a process which can be learned and repeated.
Even though it resembles going to sleep, reactions vary for each person. Increased receptivity makes it possible to consider and accept guidance regarding problem solving, lifestyle changes, and even health improvements. The possibility of tapping this innate human potential has long been recognized, but only during the past century has neuro-science been able to explain how it actually works.
The process should not be considered actual treatment, but rather a tool that has proven very useful in combination with standard therapies. Although it cannot be called a cure-all by any means, it does have the ability to decrease unpleasant symptoms. The mind has the ability to help control chronic pain, and this process may be helpful for those experiencing chronic anxiety, depression, and even internal issues.
Users report the best results in solving the everyday problems of living. Most people want to change something about themselves, such as being overweight or smoking, and this is one way to sweep aside the accumulation of mental debris that stands in the way of progress. Although not a magical solution to addiction, it helps people in recovery to accept and act on positive suggestion.
Novices seeking to experience this phenomenon for the first time should do so under the guidance of a licensed psychologist. Clinical hypnosis utilizes the latest methods and techniques, while realizing that there may be personal counter-indications or limitations specific to each person. The majority of people find the situation to be pleasant, natural, and rarely disturbing.
Over time, repetition and familiarity makes the process more routine, and make it possible to achieve when alone. For some, this is especially helpful when fighting stressful situations or trying to achieve an important personal goal. When no psychologist is present, self-hypnosis may be achieved through learned auto-suggestion. Practice helps solidify the process, and helps induce receptivity and relaxation.
Guided sessions that have been recorded on CDs or MP3 media are an excellent way to enter a more relaxed state almost anywhere. Many are taken directly from live therapy, and the most successful utilize either unscripted recordings, or steer clear of boring, stilted writing. With practice, users are able to break free from unhelpful thought patterns that formerly dominated, while adopting new ways to take useful action.
