It is a known fact that self hypnosis is the process wherein an individual can achieve connection with the subconscious mind by inducing himself in the hypnotic state through self suggestion.It is very important to reach this state because it is through this that many psychological problems can be brought to light and be solved. Through the process of self-hypnotic induction of positive affirmations, the subconscious mind eradicates the frustrations that are located there.
Eventually, those frustrations are replaced with strong feelings of self-confidence, courage and self mastery.
Self hypnosis can remove the pains and anxiety over giving birth. Nonetheless, there are more benefits that go with it through the process of self suggestion. It can also help people eradicate counterproductive habits such as nail biting, smoking and alcohol dependence to name a few. In addition, it can also help them deal with some difficulties such as insomnia and other sleeping disorders that affect a vast majority of the world's population today.
Without question, ideas are important, positive ideas are important. However, it's not enough for positive ideas to remain as ideas. It's like thinking of an apple but not doing anything about it when in fact it's right there in front of you. Whatever positive affirmations we can possibly come up with must be channeled to our subconscious mind at the time of self hypnotic phase. If not, any negative emotion or idea staying there could neither be tapped nor replaced without the slightest effect of self-hypnosis.
Since its discovery, not that much has been written about self hypnosis. The truth of the matter is, it only started gaining attention ten years ago or so. In its early days, the therapists were bent on directly achieving the deep somnambulistic state. An exciting technique was developed by Dr. H Bernheim(1840-1919), who was the founder of Nancy School of Hypnotism. He looked at arriving first at the outer layer of the cataleptic states before trying to attain the highest level of hypnosis. It was through this method that the better result of hypnosis was achieved.
Inspired by Dr. Bernheim's experiments, the admired and known Dr. Emile Coue initiated the method of auto suggestion. "Day by day, in every way, I am getting better and better," was the line that propelled him to a celebrity status, making him a household name around the world. After all, nothing can be more affirmative than that statement.
It is necessary though to point out the difference between self-hypnosis and auto suggestion. Others may find them synonymous but they're not. In self hypnosis, a person gets in contact with the subconscious mind. Auto suggestion on the other hand, only penetrates the superficial level. It goes without saying then that self -hypnosis is superior to auto suggestion in terms of injecting positive affirmations to the subconscious. For whatever its worth, many of us actually use positive words in our daily lives without being aware that this process is closely associated with self hypnosis or auto suggestion.
