Hypnosis is a skill that for some people requires practice. Whether you enter hypnosis easily or not, each and every time that you listen to any of our self-hypnosis downloads (or CDs) you will find it gets easier to relax. Actually, our recordings are designed for this to happen. Each session includes a post-hypnotic suggestion to help the process along. Towards the end of the recording I (or Donna, depending on which hypnosis downloads you order) suggest that the next time you listen you will relax even deeper into hypnosis. This almost ties each session together like a loop, with one hypnosis session setting the stage for the next.
Like anything in life, the more you do something and want to do something, the better at it you get. It’s the same with self-hypnosis. Some people take to it like a fish to water, while others may find they need to use our hypnosis recordings just a little bit longer to see the full benefit. Letting go and relaxing may not be the easiest thing for some people to do. In fact we spend so much time wound up that we may even forget how to release our tensions. Hypnosis is a great way to find relaxation again.
Each time you listen and enter hypnosis, you slowly condition yourself to relax easier, deeper, and better. Better relaxation, of course, equals more benefit and occurs partly because of a thing called compounding suggestion. Compounding suggestion takes place when one suggestion is accepted and paves the way for more. But there’s another element in compounding suggestion with self-hypnosis; When you’ve relaxed and know you’ve relaxed well and deeply, the next time you do it you’ll get there a little bit quicker. Once you familiarise yourself with what it feels like, hypnosis will come that much more effortlessly. It’s a learning experience.
With self-hypnosis you learn what to expect because it’s the same each time. I have a basic framework for just about all of my self-hypnosis CDs and hypnosis downloads. The reason I do this is not only because I find the format to be successful, but also because as you listen regularly, you kind of know what to expect and can anticipate what’s coming next. This expectation and awareness helps aid the conditioning process along.
But remember, while some people may be able to relax profoundly on the first session, each person’s experience and physical response to hypnosis is unique. As you continue to listen, you’ll feel yourself relaxing more each time. With each deepening, your acceptance of the suggestion and of hypnosis will grow and build upon the next. It’s a journey worth the undertaking as the benefits of hypnosis are limitless!
