Instant Self-hypnosis Technique - Rapid Self Hypnosis Induction
Instant self-hypnosis is when you enter the hypnotic state instantly. You just say a word or use some other trigger (touching two fingers, a deep breath) with the intention of going into hypnosis, and it takes you instantly into the hypnotic trance. Theoretically, it is possible to acquire this skill after much practice using self-help books or audios, or after practising meditation for a long time. However, it does not happen often; it is difficult to reach the hypnotic state of mind by yourself when you only know it from a description, especially as it is something impossible to analyse and describe.
The best way to learn self-hypnosis is from experience, when you are in the hypnotic state and all the resources of your subconscious mind are available to you. When you are in this altered state of mind and guided by an experienced hypnotherapist and self-hypnosis teacher, you can easily learn how to do it yourself.
How I teach the Instant Self Hypnosis Technique in One Session
The instant self-hypnosis technique can be taught in one hypnotic session to most students, even if they have never had any experience with hypnosis. The student is first introduced to hypnosis, where they enter a light hypnotic state to learn how it feels. Then hypnosis is induced again and the student enters a deep hypnotic state. When required, I repeat this process a few times, and students may learn to deepen the hypnotic state by themselves, or learn other skills. Then, in a very deep hypnotic state, I teach the basic self-hypnosis routine and implement the trigger for entering the hypnotic state. It is usually a word, but it can also be touching a finger. The student then wakes from hypnosis and practises the skill. Students enter a hypnotic state using the trigger a few times in a special process, embedded with post-hypnotic suggestions, so the skill becomes stronger.
The hypnotic state itself is a state of deep concentration and focus, exactly what is needed for achieving your goals. Hypnosis is also a perfect tool to achieve the full body and mind relaxation, not comparable with any other techniques. You will learn how to do it all by yourself in this single class. You will be always able to relax and greatly reduce the stress level. With the quiet, rested mind you will be naturally free to be who you want to be. It would take countless hours of practise to achieve this state by learning meditation and it would be almost impossible to learn it from the book.
Individual sessions to learn self-hypnosis are specifically personalised and tailored to the student's needs. During one session client masters the instant self hypnosis technique together with simple and intuitive yet powerful way of using hypnotic state to create the desired change. Clients enjoy the privacy and undivided attention of the therapist, allowing them to freely address and resolve their specific, unique issues.
The student is usually asked to practise a few times a day for a week. Fluency in the instant self-hypnosis technique is the entry point for all the advanced self-hypnosis techniques I teach.
