Hypnosis is a Natural State

Hypnosis, also meditation and visualization, are processes that reach a creative area of your subconscious mind where memories and habits are stored.

Hypnosis is a state of focused heightened awareness not of sleep or unconsciousness.

It is a changing fluid state. You might hear a sound you want to check out, come up out of a relaxed alpha brain wave pattern, see what caused the noise and decide whether to drop back into relaxation or not. You are totally in control.

Everyone has experienced light trace state naturally every day when they pass into and out of sleep.

Trance state also occurs when you’re so engrossed in a movie or book that your focus is more in the visualization of the movie or book than your actual surroundings.

Anyone who drives a vehicle has experienced highway hypnosis. Driving along with their focus on things other than driving until something happens to call them back from autopilot.

Hypnotic techniques are also in many religious and cultural rituals. The Catholic ritual of saying the rosary is a verbal hypnotic technique. Indian drumming is auditory hypnosis.


Changes are more successful when engineered through the sub-conscious because the conscious mind will argue back at you about change. This critical factor is passed by in the hypnotic state and suggestions are accepted.

Be comforted that hypnotic suggestions have to be consistent with your personal morals.

You can never be “suggested” into doing something in a hypnotic state that you would not want do in a regular conscious state.

Hypnosis depends on your following the instructions. You are doing it to yourself. No one can be hypnotized against their will.

You are “willing” yourself into the relaxed state by following the directions to relax. In the relaxed state, you can add visualization or use subliminals.

So quite often you have dropped into a light hypnotic state through everyday occurrences or natural rituals.

To deliberately achieve a hypnotic, meditative state, first, relax using a technique that suits you.

There are many ways to relax, abdominal breathing, meditation music, relaxation tape, or even light exercise. The relaxation is a subtle feel good experience. You are not asleep or unconscious. You are aware of everything and you feel very mellow.

You can enjoy the relaxed state or you can add programming to make positive hypnotic changes to habits or emotional responses.

Programming can be accomplished with a script that you read aloud.

Or you can tape yourself reading a script and listen to the suggestions hearing your own voice.
