Hypnotherapy & Self-Hypnosis

Hypnotize Yourself for Weight-loss & Self-Help

Hypnosis (from the Greek hypnos, "sleep") is often thought to be "a trance-like state that resembles sleep but is induced by a person whose suggestions are readily accepted by the subject."

Self-hypnosis usually consists of writing or adapting a script to induce hypnosis (including suggestions to help with specific problems), recording the script, and playing the tape to induce a hypnotic state. In order for hynosis to work, the subject must completely trust the source of the suggestion or be subconsciously convinced by a calm authoritative tone. That's one of the reasons that self-hypnosis is considered safe, even when done by inexperienced people -- most everyone trusts their own voice as an authority!
