Learning hypnosis
 

Hello all! I am new to hypnosis, and I wish to learn hypnosis on my own. I have been searching the net for learning hypnosis on my own, but most of the time I find same things over and over. Has anyone tried learning hypnosis on own self. And also looking for good source to help me learn easily.

You can find some good pointers searching this site (Spiritual Forums).

Thank you inavalan for sharing your thoughts, I agree this forum is good for the bigginers.

Hi Pathfinder,
Two of my favorites for Hypnosis are Igor Ledochowoski and
Chris Howard. Both deliver excellent courses. I feel Igor is best
for starting out. Also, no hypnotist achieves greatness
without also studying NLP. Together, the will amaze you.

I'm so late to this, but here's my 2cents worth.

Try and go and see an hypnotist for a single session and explain that you want to learn self-hypnosis. They will guide you into hypnosis which will make you familiar with the process. Perhaps they will, while you are in trance give you a "trigger" which can put you back in hypnosis when you do it on your own. It's not essential, though, it just makes it easier. This is how I began. (I then had some more hypnotherapy sessions but those were for specific problems) I've continued on my own since, first for self-therapy, then it evolved into the spiritual aspects.

Also, I recommend the website esdaileinstitute.com There are sound files there that start from the beginning. Of course there are others, if you google 'learn self-hypnosis'. There are a lot of YouTube channels, Michael Sealey's is a good one.

Hello Ellister and Luna thanks for sharing your thoughts, yes i have tried self hypnosis but i am not sure of it. i dont think i can find any hypnotherapist in my country, i have not heard of any one.

I suggest the book "How to Master Self-Hypnosis in a Weekend" by Rick Smith. If you can't get the book, you can still use the author's online downloads that will prepare you for self-hypnosis, from http://www.zonehypnosis.com/downloads (you'll get the links by email).

Hello Inavalan thank you for the link.

I'd recommend the work by Dolores Cannon (QHHT), if you're interested in a type of non-traditional hypnosis and past-life regression.
