hey guys,
anybody here has done self-hypnosis? please share your experiences and thoughts. also, please tell me how you did it.

yeah i'm into hypnosis. a good place to get started would be google and amazon. Just go there and type "self-hypnosis" and "hypnosis" , "self-hypnosis tutorials" , "hypnosis scripts" and etc and you'll find things quickly.

If you got emule you can search for hypnosis there too, many instruction videos and e-books and audio lessons etc.

Or you could simply sign up for a hypnosis certification at some hypnosis school, such as hypnotherapy etc.

Best of luck!

I would just recommend you go easy with that . You should really know what you are doing .

Ya I know. But trust me, its not dangerous

Are you sure it's not dangerous?

Ya I have been searching it for a while now. I believe that only you can manipulate your mind into something. if you dont want something to happen to you then it wont happen. if you are scared and doubt it, then bad things will happen. It depends on you. So up to you whatever you believe in

How do you snap out of it?

I strongly suggest attending some professional self-hypnosis courses, or at the very least, getting hold of a copy of this book and reading it, over and over, until you understand it in it's entirety. Failure to do so will potentially result in you causing more harm to yourself than good.

Words have power. Use them wisely.

It's not like you are lost somewhere else when you're doing hypnosis. Basically, you are just in a state where your subconscious is open to suggestions... So, when you feel that you are done, you just get up and do normal stuff... It`s not like you cant control yourself when you are in a hypnotic state.

There is very little evidence for any distinct physiological or cognitive condition of "hypnosis." The hypothesis was developed long before basic physiological research had established a "relaxation response," a genuine and universal phenomenon that is neither full wakefulness nor sleep.

Similarly, it is vague and wooly what "your subconscious" refers to. It is obvious that much goes on in our minds without conscious perception or control. For example, we do not experience what happens when we remember a telephone number. It is either "somehow" there for us, or we are distressed at its absence. That there is any sort of cohesion to all of the many, many things that happen in our heads without our being aware of their mechanics is speculative at best.

That is not to deny Tiggs' observation


The same can be said of Ouija boards. While the reality in both the Ouija and self-hypnotic cases is that you are talking to yourself, if you layer in a fantasy that you are not just talking to yourself, but rather "opening" (funny how the same verb, to open, comes up in both contexts) yourself to "influences," then that is dangerous. But the danger is of the same kind as the danger inherent in acting out any fantasy or false appreciation of the situation in real life.

The bottom line is that you are always "open to suggestion." You can talk yourself into things, and others can talk you into things.

Tiggs is right: words do have power - always and under all physiological and psychological circumstances. Othello is a great cautionary tale. Nobody is half-asleep or "opening themselves" in that play, but horrible things happen anyway, and the mechanism for the tragedy is "just words."
