I can meditate and get into a very relaxed state within 2min. But I think I need something stronger so I can change my thought process and other areas of my life. Can someone please help me

Hello Blue Goddess,

I am a Hypnotherapist and I can tell you now that most books on Self Hypnosis are rubbish.
I used many of them for years and could get no useful results.
However I now give Seminars on Self Hypnosis with close to 100% success.
So here is your own personal Mini Seminar on Self Hypnosis.

 1. Recognising when you are Hypnotised.
     There is no specific feeling of being Hypnotised. Its all subjective.
     However you can recognise your own specific...subjective...signs of
     Hypnosis.
     Do you remember a time when you were in school and some boring
     teacher just went on and on and you just went into a nice day dream
     state? Well thats a good example of Hypnosis.
     If you drive you may recall a time when you passed a number of             places and suddenly realized that you had no recollection of your journey?
     Thats also Hypnosis. Its a state of dreamy relaxation. Its also a state o
     concentrated focused awareness. Its a sharpness of mind where you shut our all things pereferal.

How to do it the easy way.
Lie back and relax. Close your eyes to internalize your experiences. Now visualize or imagine a beautiful picture or an image. Now hold that image and describe it to yourself (internally) in one sentence and let it go. Do this 3 more times.
Next focus your awareness on the sounds you hear. Focus on one specific sound. Describe that to yourself in one sentence and let that go.Now do the same thing three times more.
now focus your attention on your feelings, either physical or emotional.  Focus on one specific feeling.  Describe that yourself in one sentence and let it go.  Do that three more times.  Now relax and notice how you feel.  You should now be in a state of concentrated focus awareness which may also be described as a state of self hypnosis.  Sometimes people need to do more.  If you need to do more to the following.  Visualize or imagine the number three.  Now that it disappear.  Visualize the number three again.  Let it go again.  Visualize the number three again.  Now to go again.  Do the same with the number two.  Next do the same with the number one.  You should definitely be in a state of self hypnosis now.

That's just a practice run.  Now get ready to start the entire process again.  This time before you start give yourself a set of positive instructions and proceed as before.  You are now practicing self hypnosis like a professional and you can have wonderful experiences and enrich your life in so many ways.
I wish you well.  Enjoy the experience.

Hello Ranter, I'm no Hypnotherapist but do know how to perform self hypnosis, I have been doing hypnosis on myself for some number of years now, I use it for relaxation and whenever I feel I need to make an adjustment in my life. I got some of the information out of books and the rest I learnt from listing to it on Audio CD. I believe anyone can learn Hypnosis for every day use,  it's helped me a great deal.

Nothing really to add what's been said sums it up., Just felt like following Samson round again and weeing were he's weed.

Hello Sampson.
Of course you can use of hypnosis.  Everybody can.  What I was offering is merely a technique that enables people to achieve self hypnosis easily and effortlessly especially if they haven't been able to achieve it before.
Self hypnosis in and of itself is of little value.  It's what you do with it that makes it valuable.
How you communicate with your unconscious mind determines the success of what you would achieve in teaching the language of that communication is the most important part of the whole experience and everything can be achieved.  That is why had the seminars and self hypnosis. In fact most of the people in my seminars have been practicing self hypnosis for years.  I see my role as giving them the processes, the techniques, and the language to be able to communicate in an unambiguous way with the unconscious mind.  When it understands the communication fully then it will deliver virtually anything.  It is all-powerful and has all the resources of the universal consciousness.
So I wish you well in your self hypnosis experiences.
Renter.
