In conclusion to this line of posting on Hypnosis, (please read earlier posting).

Allow me state this:

That hypnosis is in fact a “natural state” of mind, the process of hypnosis is to encourage this brain wave state, so that the mind, will accept the input of suggestions as a normal process of (their)behavior , which with these suggestions, a person mindset will reflect in changing ones life in many ways.
It is said that for Hypnosis to “work” the client (person) must believe it will work, with this I strongly disagree! Yes, in fact you must to some degree give your consent, because you do have to listen with an open mind, but even with out it the process of Hypnosis still works, it can be installed though many ways, anything that stirs the emotions can be used: use of color, use of music, use of fear, use of anger, how many times do we “give consent by listing and never really even realize that we gave it? and we see this every day, in the world around us.
You would have seen in my earlier posting, science has, without a doubt, proven the states to which hypnosis takes place, is in fact as real as the coffee table in your front room!
Now the subject of self-hypnosis, yes you can in fact put yourself in the state of mind which is hypnosis, no you can not input suggestions! You can influence the behavior of actions, but to alter them, no.
Why you ask? Because you can not do two things at once! If you in fact are able to reach the brain wave level which suggestions are accepted (see earlier postings), and yes this can be done, but once there you can not switch to the brain wave to input the suggestions needed, affirmations can influence behavior but it does not alter the ingrained thinking (habit), again let me state, you can support the change, but alter it no.
Let’s put it this way, you can learn to do yoga off DVDs, but you will not be able to have the correct posture without a teacher observing how you are doing it! It’s just not possible to be both outside and inside of our actions at the same time.
Much can be done with Hypnosis, and not to take advantage of this mode of help is just as silly as, not using a hammer to pound a nail! It’s a tool that we can use! Yes at times it seems as a way oversold tool, the premise that a lot work on, is that the human body is a self healing tool, without taking in consideration that it also has a movement of its own, nature will always rule us, in one way or another, but that does not mean we should not try!
We as humans are so unaware of the world around us, and how those who wish to control us everyday , move us to their goals, be it in advertizing or politics, even the beliefs systems we are to follow; use this way to be sure we are programmed by the use of hidden (or not so hidden) Hypnotic suggestions.
Why not use the tools for our betterment? Be aware, take control back, be who you were meant to be, not something they want you to be. Allow yourself to be free once and for all.
