Self Hypnosis Recordings - How Do They Help

Self Hypnosis Recordings - How Do They Help
Steven Harold

The next best thing to a hypnosis session with an experienced hypnotherapist may be listening to a self hypnosis cd, tape, or other recording medium.

Although the practice of self-guided self hypnosis (without a hypnotherapist or self hypnosis cd) can be very powerful it still requires you to think of what to do next and which way to turn.

Self guided hypnosis you might say is similar to driving a car. The driver of the car can enjoy the views but he/she must make the decisions about the direction and speed and where to go next.

On the other hand listening to a self hypnosis cd can be like the experience of the passenger in the car. The passenger can enjoy much more of the view and not have to concentrate on anything particular. The passenger can go with the view from the car window or choose to drift away with his/her own thoughts.

Although it can be argued that the suggestions and therapeutuc processes in a self hypnosis cd remain fixed, it is also a fact that the listener will not remember everything in the recording consciously. So on subsequent playings the listener becomes aware of parts of the recording that they do not hear consciously before.

Also the repitition of beneficial suggestions which is then heard over and over again, consciously or unconsciously helps with their acceptance. Let's face it, if we hear something often enough we begin to believe it. A self hypnosis cd makes use of this fact and something else...

If, like the passenger of a car, the conscious mind wanders off, it is less likely to reject positive suggestions. This being the case those positive suggestions are more easily accepted as true in the stronger part of the mind, the unconscious mind.

All in all, self hypnosis cds are a great way of dealing with and releasing patterns, urges and other unwanted or unhelpful behaviours.
