The Key to Achieving a Greater Depth of Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

You will remember that the key to achieving a greater depth of hypnosis lies in visualizing yourself going deeper with each attempt and accomplishing progressive hypnotic tests. Keep this in mind. For a moment, let us go back to the hand tingling test–No. 3. Once you have been successful in accomplishing this test, use the visual-imagery technique to see yourself successfully responding to the foot test. When you have actually accomplished test No. 4, you see yourself accomplishing the “hand levitation” test–No. 5. In other words, you use each step to enhance a greater receptivity for the following progressive test. As you couple this approach with posthypnotic suggestions that you will go deeper and deeper into the hypnotic state at a given stimulus, you set into motion a conditioned response mechanism which must ultimately guide you into a profound state of hypnosis.

The foot test can be accomplished while sitting or lying down. The idea of this test is to imagine that your feet are stuck to the floor or that your legs are so heavy that they are impossible to raise until you reach a certain count. It is best to begin this test by trying to capture a heavy, relaxed feeling in your legs. You give yourself specific suggestions along these lines: “As I count to five, I shall notice a very heavy, relaxed, pleasant feeling in both legs. It will be a very comfortable feeling; a feeling of complete relaxation.” You then begin the count of ten, following out the idea of the other tests you have successfully accomplished. You should remember that there is no time limit and you take as much time as you need in order to get the relaxed, heavy feeling. Once you get the relaxed, heavy feeling, you use the visual-imagery technique to try to picture your legs stuck to the floor.

If you are lying down, imagine you are covered by a heavy blanket which is tightly tucked under the mattress, making it impossible for you to raise your legs. If sitting up, I tell the subject to imagine that his shoes are stuck to the floor with “iron glue,” and since his feet are in the shoes, it is impossible to lift them until the specific count which will enable him to do so.

Speaking in Groups

Speaking well in a group is not everybody’s cup of tea. But there are many people who have mastered the art of speaking in groups. You might have noticed how fluently and flawlessly some people speak in a group. They are so well at speaking in public because they eradicated the fear of public speaking from their mind very early in their lives. They conquered their fear and moved forward. If you feel nervous while speaking in public then you must make an effort for exterminating that fear out of your live. The effort for eliminating the fear of speaking in groups has to come from with in you.

Speaking in groups is not very difficult if you can some how manage the confidence and stamp out your fears. For the first time you will have to just speak no matter right or wrong. You just concentrate on speaking what you feel like saying. You can try out your hand for gaining confidence by speaking in front of your family members and friends. They will boost you up and you will gain confidence. Speaking inn groups is very important because at some point in life you will have to speak in public. You cannot always avoid speaking in front of people. 

Do not just avoid such situations, face them and become a confident individual. Just make an effort now of speaking in groups for not regretting in future. Speaking is something that we all do every second. So speaking in public should not be a big deal. Just wipe out your fear of committing a mistake and gain confidence for speaking in groups.

The First State of Hypnosis is The Light State

by Leave a Comment

The following instructions should not be attempted usually unless you have been successful in achieving the two basic tests–the eye closure as well as the uncontrollable urge to swallow followed by the physical act of swallowing at a specific count. If the conditioning process works for these two tests, you have achieved the lethargic state of hypnosis.

This is the first state of hypnosis and is generally referred to as the “light” state. Therapeutic suggestions can work admirably in this state. The next stage of hypnosis is known as the cataleptic state and is referred to as the “medium” state. Generally, hypnosis is divided into three states: the lethargic (light state); the cataleptic (medium state); and the somnambulistic (deep state).

As you deepen the hypnotic state, you can accomplish the progressive tests that I shall outline for you. I’ll also number these tests for the convenience of having a reference. Deepening the hypnotic state requires the same type of practice or conditioning as the first two steps. Let us call eye closure–No. 1, and swallowing–No. 2. We are now ready to proceed to the “hand tingling” test–No. 3. 

You have just completed tests No. 1 and 2; you are in a completely relaxed state. Now give yourself the following suggestions: “As I count to ten and even before I reach the count of ten, I shall feel a light tingling or numb feeling in my right hand.” As you slowly begin the count of ten, you keep repeating suggestions to the effect that your right hand is beginning to tingle. Once again, you practice the technique of visual-imagery, tapping your experiential background for this feeling. You can recall how it feels when your hand goes to sleep.

Once you get an initial feeling of lightness, tingling or numbness, reinforce this feeling by the feed-back technique as you did with the eye closure test. As you practice this procedure, it will work with greater effectiveness. The following is a very important point to remember. Be sure that you give yourself a posthypnotic suggestion that the tingling, light or numb sensation will disappear as you continue to count to 15. For example, “As I count to 15, the tingling feeling in my right hand will disappear, and I shall experience only normal sensations. Eleven … The tingling feeling is leaving. Twelve … Now it is leaving faster. Thirteen … I can feel my hand returning to normal. Fourteen … The tingling feeling has left. Fifteen … My right hand feels perfectly normal.” You could try a variation of this test by saying your nose or one of your toes will itch at a specific count. Once this test is accomplished, you are ready for the “foot” test–No. 4.

Nervous Cough-Getting Rid of Nervous Coughing

by Leave a Comment


Nervous cough, also known as habit cough, is difficult to get rid of. It is a type of psychological phenomenon which is triggered when a person is facing some stiff or tough time in the personal and professional life. Nervous coughing is correlated with stress. People report to have faced nervous cough mostly when the conditions around them become extreme. Most of the time patients are not able to recognize that their coughing is actually not normal coughing but is nervous coughing. Because people are not able to identify this problem and its triggers, it becomes chronic and hard to cure.

Now, I would like to introduce you to my friends and professional therapists from Hypnosis Downloads. Let’s see what they have to offer:

Hypnosis can help you get rid of an irritating nervous cough and generally feel more relaxed

Have you become self-conscious about coughing or clearing your throat when there is no real reason to?

Do you find that it feels impossible to stop doing this merely by effort of will?

First, it is very important to check with your medical professional whether there is any physical or medical condition underlying this behavior before considering psychological approaches.

So called ‘nervous habits’ tend to develop without our noticing them. It’s as if our bodies and minds autonomously generate an external ‘response’ to certain situations. We are most unlikely to notice the very first time we respond in this way. Or the second time. Or even the tenth time. But sooner or later we realize (all too commonly because someone else makes a comment) that this habit has become fixed.

Why it doesn’t help to look for the ’cause’ of a nervous cough

Many people get anxious when they become aware that they have acquired, without any conscious decision, an unwelcome automatic response like a nervous cough. They start looking for deep psychological explanations and think that, if only they can ‘get to the root of it’, they will be able to ‘sort it out’. This is rarely a useful approach. Even if you know exactly what the initiating ’cause’ was, this won’t help you stop.

This is because unconscious behavior like this is generated in the ‘unconscious’ part of the mind. The conscious mind can shout all it likes that ‘this must stop’, the unconscious mind will continue on stubbornly with its patterns unless a change is made at the unconscious level, where the pattern started.

So how would you do that?

Using hypnosis to deal with unconscious responses

The best way to access, and modify, unconscious patterns is through the state in which they were generated. That is, hypnosis.

You may not have realized you were ‘hypnotized’ into producing this automatic response, but this is in fact a very good way to understand what happens. Something in the initial situation (it doesn’t matter what exactly) created an automatic ’emotional link’ between that sort of situation and this response. So now, whenever you unconsciously sense that you are in a similar sort of situation, you produce the response.

And with hypnosis you can successfully ‘unlink’ this connection again.

Hypnosis is the best and fastest way to change nervous habits

Stop nervous coughing is an audio hypnosis session developed by psychologists specifically to help you comfortably ‘de-program’ unwanted automatic habits.

This highly focused session will teach you how to interrupt the automatic pattern before it gets going and replace it with a much more comfortable way to handle those previously ‘triggering’ situations.

As you listen regularly to your download, you will notice that you increasingly

  • feel more relaxed about life in general
  • have a greater sense of control
  • experience more and more times when the cough simply doesn’t happen
  • begin to forget that you ever had a problem

Symptoms of Nervous Cough

Symptoms of nervous cough are persistent dry coughing. This contrasts with productive cough, which is more probably caused by infections of the respiratory tract, or by chronic or acute pulmonary disease. Because of the mechanism of habit cough is primarily psychogenic, coughing tends to by non-productive, or dry.

Nervous cough is never taken lightly by doctors, because before diagnosing nervous cough, some serious health problems in the respiratory system needing careful and sometimes urgent attention for complete cure, have to be ruled out. It has been noticed most of the times that persistent cough is just an indication of some infection in the upper respiratory tract. In cases the cough persists for a long period of time doctors always initiate differential diagnosis for preventing conditions from worsening.

It is very important to take into account that in adults with chronic cough, the diagnoses of nervous cough, habit cough or psychogenic cough can only be made after an extensive evaluation has been performed that includes ruling out tic disorders and uncommon causes, and cough improves with specific therapy such as behavior modification or psychiatric therapy.

Current expert recommendations state that in these cases, psychological counseling of psychiatric intervention should be encouraged. And it is here where hypnotherapy or self-hypnosis can play an excellent role in the improvement of symptoms of nervous coughing.

This is why it is advised that if any of you feel something like a very dry cough then you must not avoid that condition. Visit the doctor as soon as possible so that if anything is seriously wrong can be treated on time. Nervous cough is not a serious disorder but it becomes chronic if there is no treatment provided. Your stress can take a toll of your life if you allow the conditions to stay. Do not let your stress become life taking. Visit a doctor and find a solution to your dilemmas regarding nervous cough.

See Yourself Going into the Hypnotic State and Give Yourself a Posthypnotic Suggestion

by Leave a Comment

It is commonly felt that the deeper the state of hypnosis, the better the results. In actual practice, I have not found this to be so. I have had excellent results in a relatively short period of time with subjects who only achieved a light state, and it has been necessary to work with others who achieved a deep state of hypnosis for a longer period before lasting results were in evidence.

Naturally, each individual presents a different set of needs and even though the symptoms may be basically the same, each will respond favorably when his requirements are met. This happens on a conscious as well as unconscious level. For example, the mere assurance by a physician that the patient is all right and has nothing to worry about is often sufficient to bring about desirable results. Another example is the mother who stops the sobbing of her hurt child by a loving kiss. A logical approach, pointing out to the child that he really didn’t hurt himself, would never have worked. We have all heard stories of primitive tribesmen who have died because they knew they were the objects of “death wishes” by another member of the tribe.

The key to achieving a greater depth of self-hypnosis lies in the use of the visual-imagery technique. You “see” yourself going into the hypnotic state deeper and deeper. You even picture yourself, using this technique, passing various progressive hypnotic tests. The second part of the key lies in giving yourself a posthypnotic suggestion that each succeeding attempt will put you into a deeper state as a result of a given stimulus–such as the count of three.

The Importance of Visualization in Self Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

In the chapter, “How Does Self-Hypnosis Work,” stress was laid on the importance of the visual-imagery technique. During every attempt to achieve self-hypnosis, you attempt to visualize yourself going into the hypnotic state. Once you have deepened the state, you begin the process of visualizing yourself exactly the way you want to be. You may experience difficulty at first, but as you keep at it, you will be able to picture yourself the way you want. _You use the visual-imagery technique whether you think you are under hypnosis or not._ These images become clear as you constantly hammer home these suggestions. This is the exact procedure necessary, and you needn’t complicate it.

Let us suppose that you are getting your eyelids to close at the count of three and have achieved a good state of relaxation. With these prerequisites, you can anticipate going deeper into the hypnotic state.

Actually, being able to get the eyes to close at a specific count is the first test in determining if the subject has gone under hypnosis. If you have conditioned yourself this far, then you can go to the next step.

The next test is called the “swallowing” test. You mentally give yourself suggestions that as you slowly, to yourself, count to 10, you will get an irresistible urge to swallow one time. You further suggest that this will happen even before you reach the count of 10. You then begin the count. “One … My throat is parched, and I feel an irresistible urge to swallow one time. Two … My lips are becoming very dry, and I feel an irresistible urge to swallow. Three … My throat feels very dry, and I feel an irresistible urge to swallow one time.

Four … Before I reach the count of 10, the urge to swallow one time will become irresistible because my lips and throat are so dry. Five … Once I swallow, I shall no longer have the urge to swallow again, and as I swallow one time, I shall fall into a deeper and sounder state of hypnosis.” Continue with similar suggestions, repeating and affirming the suggestions about swallowing. Once you actually swallow, youdiscontinue the suggestions and, instead, give yourself suggestions that you are falling deeper and deeper into a sound hypnotic state and that the constructive suggestions you now give yourself will work for you.

Once again you practice visual-imagery, seeing yourself the way you want to be, while fortifying this image with forceful, positive suggestions.

You close by giving yourself suggestions that you will enter the hypnotic state whenever you relax for five minutes and count to three.

The suggestions are just as effective whether given aloud or mentally. Many subjects report that they are reluctant when it comes to giving suggestions to themselves. I can only say that as you continue to work with yourself, you will develop confidence in giving yourself suggestions. In order for the suggestions to be effective, they cannot be given in a reticent or hesitant manner. They must be given with enthusiasm and anticipation. If you assiduously follow these instructions, you will derive the benefits you seek in the shortest possible time and witness the positive, tangible results of your suggestions and efforts. In the next chapter, you’ll learn how to deepen the self-hypnotic state. 

Ideomotor Action: the Stimulus Can Bring on the Response

by Leave a Comment

In your initial attempts, you will be trying to establish a conditioned response to the count of three which will subsequently cause your eyes to close and put you under hypnosis. Eventually, you should react instantly to the count of three or any other cue you may use to trigger the response. The key words or stimulus become associated with the action that you seek.

Through repetition, just thinking about the stimulus can bring on the response. This is known as ideomotor action and is present in the waking as well as the hypnotic state. Pavlov’s famous experiments which induced dogs to salivate when a bell was rung after previously having had food fed to them at the same time are examples of this type of conditioning. Don’t we generally become hungry if someone tells us it’s noon and time for lunch  when, in fact, it’s only 11 o’clock?

I had a common experience recently that I am sure many readers have shared. One of my neighbors, seeing my car was parked in front of my house and knowing I was home, called to say he was dropping in to see me. While working on the manuscript of this book, I thought I heard the doorbell as I was typing. I went to the front door and no one was there.

I even walked around the house looking for him because I was so certain I heard the bell. This is another example of an ideomotor action. I told my friend about it when he arrived approximately 30 minutes later. He looked at me rather whimsically, and we both shared a laugh. Haven’t you thought you heard the phone ring when you were waiting for a call?

The Easiest Way to Hypnotically Talk and Lead a Person to Your Desired Outcome

by Leave a Comment

For example, suppose you wanted to excite someone. And the person was in a neutral mood. They spoke calmly and at a monotone level. First, it’s important you “match” their tone of voice and how they talk and then find yourself beginning to lead them into a more exciting state of mind as you begin to “sound” more exciting.

You simply start out by asking “so, what did you do today?” They reply “I worked.” You say “how was it?” They reply “The same as usual.” You reply “yeah, isn’t it interesting how it always seems like the same thing all the time every day? But there’s always that one day… maybe it’s just your day, or everything just seems to go your way… like maybe you get a promotion, or the boss announces how you’ve just been elected employee of the month… you get a raise… and before you know it the time just flies by. Your day goes great. You can’t help but to smile and feel great because you feel so good. You race home. Tell the wife. You and your family are celebrating and everyone is congratulating you. You’re in heaven and it just feels awesome. Every day can be like that you think, by now I’m sure you can agree to that, can’t you?” They reply “Oh yeah.”

IF you say it right.

The trick is to make sure you put yourself into their state of mind first, and then put yourself into the sate of mind you want them into next (in this case – excitement), and they will naturally follow.

Realistically, this is probably by far the easiest way to hypnotically talk and lead a person to your desired outcome. YOU go there first, and let them naturally follow. If you can master this one skill, you’ll not even need any “sneak phrases” or other gadgets, you’ll appear completely natural and genuine… sincere.

But, the above skill doesn’t always work for every situation. If you’re trying to seduce someone (aside from the fact if you’re the same sex), it’s hard to put yourself into a woman’s shoes (or vice versa) and describe the feeling of wanting another person. It just wouldn’t make sense if I said to a woman from my own experience, “and you can feel the warm tingly feeling in your belly moving its way down… it just wouldn’t fly because I don’t feel that.

There are, however, several techniques that remove you from the picture where you could say things like that and make it appear natural and sincere and perfectly fine to talk about. We’ll get into those techniques later in these articles. 

But generally speaking, if you’re trying to make sales, motivate a person, trying to get a person to listen to you and virtually anything on a general level you can think of, the following technique is the easiest approach.

How to Master the Secret of Covert Hypnosis

by Leave a Comment

They’ll literally think “you are just being you.” Which, of course is your primary aim. A master of covert hypnosis (aside from someone who teaches it) doesn’t just run around and say “hey, I know covert hypnosis.” No. It’s a secret. You don’t want people to know you’re an expert at it. 

Now, since this article will help you design and create a powerful hypnotic voice, you might run into the objection that people who already know you might catch on as if you’re up to something.

Well, I’ll have to admit, there have been times where I thought the same. But the interesting part is if you follow the advice given in the article, you’ll not have to worry about even having that happen to you simply because those who know you will admire and be drawn to your newly developed voice. 

If it should happen that people might think you’re “weird” (with lack of better words) because you might “sound” different than what their used to hearing from you, a simple “I don’t know what you’re talking about” or “What do you mean?” should suffice. If they go onto explain, don’t even put any more thought into it by replying “Hmm, that’s interesting” in a matter-of-fact way, and leave it at that.

Just shrug it off and move on with your persuasion. Chances are, that’ll never happen anyway – especially if you hold that thought in mind!

I’ve used it with my own family and friends that have known me for years and had no idea I used it on them, nor did they even bring up the fact that I “sounded” different simply because I was congruent with my hypnotic application.

Now, congruence is important with your application of hypnotic talking, too. You literally have to “play the part” or emotion.
