How to Use Hypnosis to Your Advantage
If your life is not what you would like it to be, perhaps hypnosis can help. It is especially helpful if you are doing things that you do not want to do (so the subconscious is ruling over the conscious mind). For example, issues such as smoking and eating disorders.
Self-hypnosis can be used as a tool when attempting to improve yourself. Its main function is to help you be more patient while working on your self-improvement efforts. In order for self-hypnosis to work, you must first identify the real source of the problem. Once this is identified, you will need to truly believe that hypnosis can, and will, work for you.
In order to make lasting positive change in your life, you need to identify the root of the problem. Once the source has been found, you can fix it. For example, if your problem is overeating, it is highly likely that the root of the problem actually has little to do with food itself, rather it is something emotional. Therefore, the goal of hypnosis should be to find the emotional issue that is causing you to eat. Once found, you can address it head on. Hypnosis will not work if you are trying to fix symptoms instead of the real reason for the problem.
Perhaps your issues involves “passive dysfunction.” Passive dysfunction is like a mental block, and is when the subconscious gets in the way of change. Using hypnosis to uncover the real reason for the problem will help you, and your hypnotherapist, to create suggestions that will eradicate the issue.
In discovering your subconscious, ask yourself probing questions that involve the who, what, when, where, and why. Here are a few sample questions:
- Who is associated with the problem?
- Is there a location trigger that could be associated with the source of the problem?
- When did the problem first start in your life?
- What, in particular, sparks the behavior?
- Why this behavior?
The answers to these questions can provide valuable insight into your dysfunction, and will be helpful when working on your problem using hypnosis.
