The number of people who want to learn more about self-hypnosis is constantly increasing and from my experience, I can tell that most of them are more interested in this than in hypnotherapy. This is why I am frequently asked a series of questions regarding this, the five most frequent of these being the following:

1. What is self-hypnosis useful for? - This work as a type of hypnosis mostly, the difference being that you are doing it to you yourself. Thus, self-hypnosis can help you change some of the traits of your personality you are not so satisfied with. This is done by changing the mindset for that particular personality characteristic.

For example, you can hypnotize yourself to become calmer if you are too short tempered. Most of the self-hypnosis results come from students who used it in order to improve their grades at school by better and easier absorbing the information taught and by increasing their concentration capacity. It can be used to get rid of daily aches as such and even to treat different types of addiction to some point, like smoking for instance.

2. Can I get better athletic results with self-hypnosis? - Well, it works only on your mind, not on your body. Thus, it cannot change the way your body is build up. However, what it can do is help you concentrate better during such an event and rid you of the eventual fear or shyness during the athletic competition. With self-hypnosis, you will gain more courage during the competition and thus your performance will be better.

3. Is self-hypnosis efficient in better knowing myself? - No doubt about this! Self-hypnosis deals with your subconscious, the place in your mind that can store things about yourself you were not aware of before. There you can even find out things you have been denying or even hiding from yourself, such as repressed feelings, motivations. Dealing with these can help you become a better person.

4. Does it take long to learn self-hypnosis? - No one can get to hypnotize themselves the first time. But you can get there if you practice it on a daily basis, which is the key to this technique. After three weeks you will see the results and you will find out that fighting for your goals has become easier. In the beginning, you will have to start with a half an hour practice a day, but the duration of the self-hypnosis session will decrease in time.

5. Does self-hypnosis practice render you more easily influenced in everyday life? - With time and practice, the sessions will become easier and more fruitful. This practice will only increase your response to hypnosis and not to the influence of others; thus your mind will be easily influenced only during self-hypnotism because your brain will be trained and used to such practice. You will be able to better distinguish and fight those trying to manipulate you in any way.
