Self hypnosis, is it easy – or difficult? Self hypnosis sounds a little too much like magic. But we all like the idea of something magical to take away the pain. Will self hypnosis do the trick though? Will it really be the solution, or just another distraction? The trouble is that so many times you’ve been promised a cure, but is this really the genie that you’ve been seeking?
Something isn’t working in your life. You know now that there isn’t a pill to fix it. But you see other people doing what you want to do and you want it too. But it seems either impossible or just needs more than you’ve got to give. How can it be so easy for them, when it’s so difficult for you?
You may have spent time seeking out the why. Maybe deciding it was your upbringing (it usually is), what was done or not done, or your school, or maybe something faulty with your genetic make-up. Some people even decide that they must have been ‘bad’ in a past life and are being punished. I know that thought has certainly crossed my mind on more than one occasion.
But the truth is – none of that is relevant.
All that matters is that you want things to be different and you are prepared to take whatever steps you can to bring that about. Notice that I say ‘whatever steps you can’ rather than ‘whatever it takes’. This is because ‘whatever it takes’ generally brings you face to face with your biggest fears and your biggest fears are the only reason you haven’t got what you want in the first place. If you weren’t afraid of doing what others do to get what you want you would already have it.
So, in a way, all we have to do is to remove the fear and what you want will flow right to you. The trouble with that is, of course, that right now the fear is with you. Thinking about doing what you fear, to get what you want, creates a huge amount of resistance. Resistance to taking any step that will lead you in the direction of the promised land. You don’t mind pretending to do something about it, but if you are going to end up doing what you don’t want to do, then maybe it would be better if you didn’t have what you want.
This is where self hypnosis comes into the picture. Self hypnosis is very like not doing anything. At the same time you can convince yourself that it won’t bring you into confrontation with your fears, but is actually solving the problem. What more could you want?
Self hypnosis is a way of staying totally safe, feeling like you are at least making the effort to change, and working towards getting what you want.
So is self hypnosis a way to kid yourself you are taking action when you aren’t? On the contrary, self hypnosis is a brilliant and wonderful tool for those very reasons. The biggest reason of all is that it is totally safe. When you use self hypnosis you do not have to confront anything you don’t want to, and even if you do choose to confront it, you only do so in your imagination and all of that is totally under your control.
The wonderful thing about using self hypnosis for bringing about desired change and attracting what you want into your life is that it is actually an enjoyable experience. You discover how to become wonderfully relaxed all under your own control. You discover how to use your amazing mind to release fear and bring about the changes that you want for you. You discover that you can have what you want if you use this wonderful tool correctly.
Once you’ve discovered how easy it is to take yourself into a trance, and make changes that you thought were impossible, doors will begin to open for you. Then you will realise the power that you hold within you, not only to control and shape your universe but also to attract into it anything you desire.
