I'm going to spread the joy that is hypnosis to you all by teaching you how to hypnotize yourself.

Just so you know, hypnosis is just a altered state of conciousness somewhat like sleeping, and the results can be amazing.

While hypnotized you can:

Lucid dream
Make yourself feel high
Make yourself extremely happy
Make yourself extremely relaxed
Stimulate physical changes
Solve emotional problems you may be having
uh pretty much anything you want.

It's pretty easy to do but requires patience, and it wont work on everyone, only about 3/4th of the people who attempt it will be able to do it.

First, you'll need to find a place that's quiet, no noise at all. Then sit in a comfortable chair or couch, and just relax for a minute or two.

Now close your eyes and think of nothing for a few minutes, don't think of any problems or worries you have, just be completely relaxed and have a clear mind for a few minutes.

Now after a few minutes of a clear mind, go through each body part, and tell yourself that it's relaxed, repeat it over and over that it's relaxed, start with your head and work down to your toes. Go through every muscle you have, your eyes, each individual finger and toe, midsection, arms, legs, face, everything.


Now that you're finally completely relaxed sitting or lying there like a blob of nothing, it's time to do the simple test; the arm raise.

Tell yourself that your right arm is getting light, keep telling yourself it's getting more and more light, tell yourself it's so light that you can actually feel it rise because it's as light as a balloon. Your arm should rise without you physically moving it. If you have succeeded thus far, congrats your not in a state of hypnosis. If you didn't get your arm to raise, rest for a while and try again.


If it worked for you, welcome to the joy of hypnosis, you can now do some amazing stuff, you probably wont be able to do any deep stuff your first time, but with more and more practice you'll be able to do stuff you didn't know was possible.



Seriously, everyone should atleast try this. If it works for you, you most definitely wont regret it.

Interesting, but my brain is way too active for it. I'd end up thinking about all sorts of random crap.
