Excerpt from the Introduction
If you are like many people, you've heard how hypnosis has helped
others achieve their goals. You've even thought about different
ways you might use hypnosis to change your own life for the
better.
Maybe you'd like to be hypnotized to improve your physical body
to get lean and trim, stay motivated to exercise, or to stop
smoking once and for all.
Or maybe you're feeling stress in your life. You'd like to be
hypnotized to let go of that tension and to feel more relaxed?
Who wouldn't?
Perhaps you'd improve your mental abilities through hypnosis.
Have you imagined how your life might change if you possessed
Zen-like focus and concentration? Have you wished for a sharper
memory? To ace that test coming up? Or maybe just to remember the
names of people you meet?
Perhaps you've wondered if hypnosis could help you be more loving
toward your mate or to spruce up your sex life?
So Why Aren't You Going to a Professional Hypnotist?
Again, if you are like many people, thinking about ways
hypnotherapy might help you is as far as you've gone. Or you've
gone once or twice to a hypnotist but you just didn't continue.
The reasons people don't go to a hypnotist are often these:
- You don't have the time to go to the hypnotist's office.
- You don't have-or don't want-to spend the money.
- You're too timid. Is hypnosis safe? Are your issues just too
personal to discuss with a hypnotist...or anyone?
Now You Don't Need to Go to a Professional
The good news is, now that you have this book, you don't need to
go to a professional hypnotist. Just sit right there and read!
Instant Self-Hypnosis enables you to hypnotize yourself to
accomplish virtually any goals without ever putting down the
book. The book does the work for you!
Even more startling, you will learn to hypnotize yourself with
your eyes open! Unlike other forms of hypnosis, with Instant
Self-Hypnosis there's no reason to close your eyes throughout the
entire procedure.
The best part of all is that the can't-fail methods of Instant
Self-Hypnosis are so easy to use. You'll succeed the very first
time you try them. The procedures are so efficient, applying them
to a goal takes as little as fifteen minutes.
Please do not confuse Instant Self-Hypnosis with any other books
or audio programs about hypnosis or self-hypnosis. It's unlike
anything you've read, heard about, or tried. It's a revolutionary
book offering you an extraordinary technique with distinct
advantages over traditional methods of self-help hypnosis. This
user-friendly book can change your life in practical ways, and
you'll be able to put it to work for you in just minutes...if you
keep reading.
Get ready to learn about an innovative discovery in
self-improvement-Instant Self-Hypnosis.
This book is about a breakthrough discovery in hypnosis and
self-improvement. In 1997 I discovered an unusual method for
inducing hypnosis. As a professional hypnotherapist, I've been
teaching, testing, and refining it ever since. I call the
technique Instant Self-Hypnosis. It involves the reading and
writing of hypnosis scripts as a means of entering a state of
hypnosis. This method of hypnosis may be used for a wide range of
therapeutic purposes: removing bad habits, confidence building,
goal attainment, and so much more. This can't-fail technique
requires no experience or knowledge of hypnosis whatsoever. Plus,
it's so simple that you may marvel that no one previously thought
of it...or if they did think of it, why they never published the
discovery. Or if they did publish it, how come no one knows about
it?
Instant Self-Hypnosis is ingenious in its efficacy and
simplicity. I call Instant Self-Hypnosis a discovery rather than
an invention because the method has been "hidden in plain sight"
perhaps for as long as hypnotherapy has been in existence. What
I've done is recognize its potential value and develop it in such
a way any intelligent person can put to good use.
Why is Instant Self-Hypnosis not your average self-improvement
book? This publication does something that most self-help books
cannot do. Most self-help authors give advice or enumerate steps
to be followed after you've read their books. That is, only when
you put those books down can you begin to put their advice into
practice. But with Instant Self-Hypnosis, there is no delay.
You benefit fully from this book without ever putting it aside.
It's designed to change you as you read it! With this innovation
in self-improvement, there are no words of wisdom to remember.
There are no skills to practice. There are no traits or steps of
"highly perfect people" to emulate! This book and its techniques
are self-contained. The help is immediate. The results
materialize automatically.
This book is for anyone who wants-or needs-a potent, valuable
tool for positive personal change. If you are new to hypnosis or
self-help media, Instant Self-Hypnosis gives you a fast and easy
means for improving the quality of your life in many areas. If
you are an avid consumer of do-it-yourself material, you will
find Instant Self-Hypnosis a friendly alternative to some of the
other techniques you might have tried. If you are a professional
hypnotherapist or a psychologist, you will be intrigued by the
powerful simplicity of Instant Self-Hypnosis. Its operative
principles have many implications and applications for the fields
of hypnotherapy, psychology, and psychoimmunology.
The Things You Will Learn
The heart of this book revolves around the hands-on learning of
Instant Self-Hypnosis. The book takes you through a fun exercise
that not only introduces you to the concepts of Instant
Self-Hypnosis but actually hypnotizes you as you perform it! The
exercise acts as a proactive primer to ensure success with all
subsequent endeavors with Instant Self-Hypnosis. After that,
you'll apply the method to your goals, using the appropriate
scripts.
As mentioned, you don't have to know a thing about hypnosis to
put Instant Self-Hypnosis to work for you. But some basic
knowledge is certainly a good thing to possess in any endeavor
you undertake. Part One of the book tells you what you need to
know about the power of your subconscious mind and how it relates
to hypnosis. You'll also learn about these things:
- what hypnosis and self-hypnosis are and whether you are
hypnotizable;
- the misconceptions and ill-founded fears some people have about
hypnosis and how safe it truly is;
- how hypnosis and traditional self-hypnosis work and the
problems associated with conventional methods;
- my discovery: what it is, how it works, and how it
automatically avoids the troubling pitfalls associated with
traditional techniques; and
- a powerful hypnotic primer, which lets you experience its power
and simplicity firsthand!
In Part Two, you'll be shown how to put the technique to work for
thirty-five common hypnosis goals, using professionally prepared
hypnosis scripts. In Part Three, you'll learn another aspect of
Instant Self-Hypnosis that shows you how to customize the
technique for virtually any self-improvement goal, no matter how
unique it may be. I have taught this customization process for
several years in a course called "How to Hypnotize Yourself with
Your Eyes Open," and students have found it easy to master.
The book wraps up with some important tips to ensure success with
Instant Self-Hypnosis. Additionally, it clarifies answers to some
frequently asked questions regarding the techniques and their
proper application. And don't forget to check out the Bonus
sections toward the end of the book. For instance, you may want
to take the Instant Self-Hypnosis Stress-Buster Challenge.
