7. How do your self hypnosis recordings work?

When listening to one of our self hypnosis CDs or hypnosis downloads you will be gently and effortlessly guided by the hypnotherapist (Barrie St John or Donna Lee) into a state of deep relaxation. This is achieved by a technique called progressive relaxation, which involves following very simple verbal instructions and positive suggestion from the therapist, which leads to you becoming progressively more and more relaxed. As your body relaxes so too does your mind.

When you enter this deep state of relaxation, which we call ‘creative relaxation’, the conscious part of your mind can be easily distracted. While this happens, positive suggestions are given directly to the creative unconscious (subconscious) part of the mind. Since the doorway to the unconscious mind is now open, it is much more receptive to the information it needs to change the unwanted experience or behavior you want to stop.

When you're in a state of creative relaxation, you will be given what are called 'post hypnotic suggestions' and follow visual techniques and mental exercises that can really help you to bring positive changes to your life. Post hypnotic suggestions are those that you act upon when out of hypnosis, such as feeling more self confident, determined to lose weight or to quit smoking forever.

10. How long are your self hypnosis sessions?

The length of each self hypnosis recording varies, but they’re usually between 20-25 minutes. We know there are other self hypnosis recordings that are 40 and 50 minutes long, and some even longer. In our opinion this is just too long. We believe that about 25 minutes is the optimum time for self hypnosis.

Remember that repetition is the key for self hypnosis. The more you hear the suggestion, the more likely it is to be accepted by your creative unconscious. It is hard to listen to really long recordings as frequently, and we know that motivation is helped and maintained if listened to everyday. For this reason we believe 20 to 25 minute self hypnosis recordings are much more user-friendly and are therefore the perfect recording length.

11. When will I notice the results of self hypnosis?

Everyone’s experience with self hypnosis is unique, so each person will experience positive change at different speeds and levels. Some people might get real results after a few days and for others it might take a few weeks before they notice a change. It’s not always an “Aha!” moment or some eureka experience. It’s more often something that happens without us really even noticing, such as when someone develops more self confidence without consciously noticing at first - which is very common.

Remember that we all have our own unique inner world and we each have our own timeframe for change. It’s impossible to predict when and how change will occur, but it does happen. Hypnosis is by far the most effective means of bringing about permanent and lasting behavioral and emotional change, even if we aren’t immediately aware of it.

12. Are your self hypnosis products suitable for children?

Your child should benefit from regular use of our self hypnosis products. In fact children will often respond even quicker than adults do, mainly because they have highly active imaginations and the imagination plays a large part in hypnosis. However, please ensure that you supervise your child’s use of any self hypnosis CD or self hypnosis download.

14. Why is there a warning message, if your products are safe?

Some doctors and therapists believe hypnosis should not be used by people who suffer from conditions like epilepsy, depression and other psychiatric conditions. We feel we have a duty towards our customers, both from a professional and ethical perspective. Therefore, we suggest people consult their doctor if they suffer from any of the above, before they use our self hypnosis products. It is a matter of professional courtesy.
