I will hypnotize myself to recover my anxiety and panic attack + my every fear...I am leaving this comment so that I will get notifications when someone likes my comment.
Then I won't forget this technique forever.
Hey, dont forget this technique..😉
Did it work? Need to forget about someone asap. Need confirmation it works 😅
Here to remind you to not give up!
Did ya go to far in a hypnotic place 🤔🤭🙃😉
@@thebucketlistfoodie1648 yeah it worked for me
Visualization works. I use it every day. Over 45 years ago, I envisioned making a paper airplane that I could fly outdoors and glide long distances. I accidentally invented a new concept in aerodynamics which traps a vortex and prevents the airplane from stalling. Today, it has successfully worked on a Darrieus Wind Turbine. I did not know anything about aerodynamics when I started. It is called the Kline Fogleman airfoil or KF airfoil. We are all forms of energy. So use that energy to entertain yourself and enjoy the results. We are all creative.
amazing !!

Fantastic
😲
Viewlization and believing both are equally important
Imagine getting hypnotised on youtube and just before the waking part there’s an ad
😂😂😂
I have loaded shotgun in my hand just in case.
And everyone buys charmin🤣🤣
Just use opera
PRIME FOR THE WIN
Oh god. The never ending loop. Video was on repeat. Lol
I am leaving this comment so that someone likes it reminds me practice this technique
and here I am
Today was my engagement with my fiance...my mom is a mental depression patient who thinks everyone trying to harm me....even my in law whole family...she is paranoid about everyone....last night i tried this technique.....i imagined that she is behaving well and enjoying the ceremony....and its unbelieable....she actually did...and the ceremony was fun.....this thing works like miracle....
It works on other people too?
How was it possible that you hypnotized your self seeing your mom behaving calmly, and she actually did it in reality? Can it actually affect people and things around you as well?
@@raymondgerardcarls4741i think this technique controls situatuon not people...sorry for the very late reply...
So happy for u ✊
It is unbelievable how many people think hypnosis and self hypnosis is garbage. Hypnosis is an absolute gift! The best part is everyone can do it.
Im very skeptical aswel... i'd like this to be true but, you cant realy rely on shows to be honest with you..
You folks should check out James Tripp on UA-cam. It's no-nonsense, actionable education.
No, not everyone can do it, because not everyone can be hypnotized.
everyone can - but there is aptitude. bell curve like. some people need training, some are good at it
Ive worked with loads of people, some of whom had zero response, but just needed some emergent generative work to make it personally meaningful
This is why Einstein said imagination is much more important than knowledge.
Karah that’s just an empty quote you’ve read on the internet. Is it really? Could Einstein have achieved what he did without vast knowledge? Imagination is NOT much more important than knowledge, it’s just important too. So pretending to have imagination is not a good excuse for watching Netflix instead of reading books.
@@noni44 lazy people like lazy feel-good quotes pasted on nature backgrounds. Quotes made to make the below average Facebook user feel smarter than they really are. It's actually adorable and sad at the same time.
*First you need the knowledge , then you can use imagination
noni44 so much violence in your words, whatever you or Einstein accomplished first it has to be imagined or planned, so it is not laziness to plan or imagine
@@noni44 You are right He 'plagiarized' from everybody. starting when he was in Switzerland in an 'patent office' with access to many inventions, he used what he read as his own. Anybody can do THAT. have a nice day
UA-cam has got me hypnotized because I can’t stop watching videos.
🤣
lmaoooooooooooooo
Me too my friend😂
"Your mind can be your greatest ally, or you greatest enemy"
This is definitely true. Your kind also seems to work against itself which I don’t quite understand. How is it possible to have a fear, and then to rationalise that fear, yet to still feel the grip of the fear. It’s as if two parts working against each other.
Should be mind* not kind...mistype/auto correct
Instead of telling yourselfs you need to get better, richer, etc Just hypnostize yourself in feeling happy no matter what you have.
You are a wise one.
@@halweilbrenner9926 Finally some recognition ! 😉
Thankyou
And all of a sudden everything else will come almost simultaneously haha
You can also play audio of positive affirmations to be played while falling asleep and sleeping. It works. I've done it. Stopped procrastination.
Yep. It works 100%
This is by far the simplest, easiest and most productive TED talk I've seen, and it works!
Dan is a genius
Thank you for your great comments!
ur welcome
what is your take on positive affirmations by means of recording yourself and listening to those recordings while you fall asleep?
Dan Candell Hypnosis Thank you!!! Very interesting! I will put that in practice!👍
In 1996 I read a book on self-hypnosis, and it basically taught me to lie down and relax, and count slowly down from ten, and breathe deeply while doing so. Then picture myself going down deeper, like on a staircase, and when I got to one I would be in my ideal world, where I could see myself being successful at something. I used it to quit smoking. I had reached the point where I was over a pack a day. I had been smoking for fifteen years and had tried to quit numerous times. This time it worked. I gave my remaining cigarettes to a friend, and I haven't smoked since. But this was using a technique that I could do at any time, not just when falling asleep. Although sometimes I would fall asleep.
is there a way to contact you for advice. I tried leaving a comment on your channel but got no response
I will hypnotize myself to become more productive at work and blossom into the best representative at the company (I do sales). I am leaving this comment here, so I will get notifications when someone likes it… This way I’ll never forget it and continue to be successful. 😃 👍
Did you do it?
As he was talking about belief systems controlling us--and negative beliefs about taking exams (paraphrased)--I remembered two things from my distant past: first, the incredible stress I felt studying for college exams, and second, a particular midterm exam, for a really tough class, that I hadn't studied for because I had misread the class schedule.
I walk into class that day, sat down, and noticed how unusually quiet everyone was. I looked around and saw that every single person had her or his textbook and notebook cracked open, a dazed and worried look on each face. A moment later, the professor walked in with stacks of exams and blue test booklets and told us to put away our books. My first reaction: pure terror. My gut dropped through the seat, onto the floor. My second reaction: There's nothing I can do about this, so I might as well detach myself from the results of this test and accept my fate. For some reason that last thought made me sigh and relax. When I finally received my test and booklet, I glanced at each of the questions--and felt even more relaxed with the realization that I seemed to know the answer to every one of them, much to my surprise. As I wrote the answers in the booklet, I felt like I was "in the zone." Most of the test was made up of essay questions, and the answers flowed quickly and easily from my pen. In fact, I finished the test way too fast. I looked up and saw that everyone else was still scribbling, their heads down. Now, I'm not a genius, but at that moment I almost felt like one, as if I had tapped into an intelligent part of me I didn't know existed. As it turned out, I got an A-plus on that test--a no-study exam in a very difficult, dry-subject class. Probably the best test result I'd ever had. Listening to Dan talk about how our beliefs affect our performance has me thinking that my detachment from my performance on the test had opened my mind to a greater potential than I usually believed was possible.
That was a very useful presenting of your life experience !
This is an excellent piece of prose regarding your experience. You conveyed your feelings effectively which helped to engage with you in this comment. I find it very empowering to know that I could bring about better outcomes of myself and other events in my life by changing my thoughts and detaching myself from negative ones which can then lead to better actions and open up my mind and increase potential. The mind is truly a powerful tool and when we learn how to reprogram our thoughts, it really leads to a more positive response from yourself. Thank you for this!
@@ianavodenicharova4167 Thank you for the compliment--a very touching reply. I wish I could say that I continued to relax in the same way for tests and other tough life situations, but it's sometimes easy to forget what works for us. Fortunately, I started paying more attention to my positive and negative thoughts as I got older.
This is incredible
You are amazing ❤
It works. I have been a weak studier all of my life.
At 61 I found myself at a life change. I needed a new job. Decided to sell life insurance. There is a pretty involved course before you take the state exam. I kept telling myself this is a piece of cake. Well, I passed the course and the state exam. I didn't do as well as I wanted but I guess a 97 will have to do. I now have my license.
Charles , can u explain me how i will do this step by step ? i am foreigner , i hardly understand Dan's talking bcs of my english is not so well yet
@@duzadamdumduz you have to form a thought. Simply what you want to achieve tomorrow and keep saying that to yourself. Especially tell yourself that before going to sleep. If you tell yourself the same thing so many times it becomes a reality.
@@beepboopbeep1571 I think he gets it he explained he passed his test etc.
@@aflaz171 yeah I'm writing it for Düz and not Charles (the original commentor)
@@beepboopbeep1571 Ah that makes sense now.
Ok, I know that no one will believe me, but I don't need an alarm, no joke. When I go to bed, I tell myself 'I will wake up at 6AM tomorrow 8 hours from now (or however many hours)' and I legit wake up within 30 seconds of 6 o'clock... Not shitting you
is this an example of what he's talking about...?
Welcome to getting the right amount of sleep (8 hours). I tried this with 7 hours and woke up 10 hours later. Tried this with 6 hours woke up 9 hours later. Tried this with 10 hours woke up 10 hours later. Tried this with 9 hours woke up 10 hours later.
I know right?
thats what i do too
Yeah, i kind of do that too, but without telling anything, i just need to set an alarm to a certain time, it can be for waking up or remember something, just setting it in my phone and i will absolutely check the phone from 60 to 30 secs before it rings, i don't know how i can do that, but it's kinda cool.
Its called a schedule, everyone wakes up a 6am
Yes, it is 😏
THIS VIDEO HAS CHANGED MY LIFE: I have never thought of planning ones activities for the next day as hypnosis but it is or looking forward into the future as hypnosis but it is. You can see from the video the power of suggestion which really does work! Great video and well worth watching..............................
This Man is such a gift: take heed or continue to flounder!
Thank You Dan.
Grateful Aussie.
*People watching this all the very best for your future endeavors.*
About 25 years ago, I was a Radio Ad Sales Exec... I read about hypnosis- self-hypnosis & made myself a tape I listened to evety morning... it was my meditation... After a couple of weeks I increased my monthly income by 30%-50%, Working on straight Commission...
I became pretty successful...
This is much easier & I'm sure more Productive. Thank you Mr Hypnosis Man!!
@Mike O'Lynn I don't remember. It was in the mid-90's . I have moved since then & cleared out a lot of stuff, since.
But it was a basic self-hypnosis script and I added goals, I wanted to achieve.
I bet you can google 'self-hypnosis scripts' and get stuff to work with. Then also include what Mr Hypnosis guy, here is advising to use... and be sure you add your goals with present tense... i.e.
I, your name, have increased my monthly income to $5000.00 or whatever your goal is.
You can do it. Make it simple. Keep it simple.
The Subconscious only hears present tense, I believe.
Good luck!🍀
@@AlamarOne very inspiring. Thanks for share it.
Its incredible the subconscious, I removed anxiety with Michael Sealey's hipnosis videos.
How to do self hypnosis
Suddenly I Realized, This Video Is Already Hypnotizing me
For most of us living in the matrix, the ideal you, or the day tomorrow is just a programming. I would recommend first hypnotising yourself to wake up from the hypnosis of life. And hypnotising yourself to discover your true self. Go on that journey. For you to venture boldly into your blind spots. And so on...All the best!
Wtf is a matrix which is a movie tf is wrong with you?
Yes. Just make yourself aware that you’re worried about a fake situation created by fake people believing to be a self created ego.
I am hypnotizing myself to become the best motivational speaker.
Can't you just motivate yourself to be one? Oh i get it, it doesn't work...
I'm hypnotizing myself not to believe that
don´t care what the others say. If you like that, then do it! Good luck!!
✨You will be one of the top motivational speakers in the world! Stay positive and manifest it!!!✨
I couldn't stop noticing his hand movements! this guy is a great speaker!
He must be Italian!
Actually, the less hand movement the better. You want to use your hands to enhance a point you're making, or, to emphasize a point. If you notice his hands are moving from start to finish therefore minimizing the hands effectiveness...
The video starts at 7:23
0xLeus Thank you for pointing out the time
Thanks so much you're a champion
thanks :)
0xLeus yk
Thanks a heck of a lot!!!!
Write it down how you want to be in present sence.
Record your Story you want to tell yourself on your Phone.
Use Headphones and let it Play every night all night long. The best that you can do...and it is so easy...Try to Visualize it every night...just right before you fall asleep.
Thanks
I will try ;)
All night long? Man! How long is the record
TheBloody AlboZ Good idea. I’ll give it a go.
Axe9909 play on repeat)))
And it’s only matters right before falling asleep and right before waking up.
omg thanks life saver
As a fully qualified 'clinical hypnotherapist' I can say that we're all in a state of hypnosis - all the time. What I would suggest to all of you is... do not count UP but count DOWN in other words when counting DOWN it's the natural way to go DOWN into another state of hypnosis and THEN... you count UP to come out of that state! Good luck!
You seem like an authority on the natural way to go DOWN.
@@MisterRlGHT you seem like you need a big hug…group hug time 🤗
This works for body weight, memory, fitness...
If you calmly close your eyes for a minute, breathing gently and stare at nothing, take a thought massage and send it to yourself, your subconscious will make it happen.
Doing this got me 100% in every test I took in senior high school. But I regret not taking economics.
You can still take it.
@@ssboschky No need, I now employ others for that.
How did you tell train your mind to score 100percent in test
What suggestions did you give to the brain?
@@savitrinaik5986 one thing people misunderstand about anxiousness is it's caused by adrenalin. You can use it both physically and mentally. It's like nitro for your body but also for your brain.
if you harness it, rather than use it to go round and around, you can be much better.
The starting point is by starting from scratch and simple mind blanking is a great way to find that zero point.
So you are saying by emptying our mind we qre capable of becoming better and better every single day@@Hotwire_RCTrix
Imagination is so powerfull
Self hypnosis, positive behavior analysis, positive self talk, Meditation and visualization 🔥🙏🏾💪🏾🥰🤓🔥
When I was a small kid, my dad taught me a trick to wake up early in the morning which is (eg: if u want to wake up at 6 in the morning, tap your pillow 6 times and believe that you can wake up at that time) and it really worked well most of the time. Does this have something to do with hypnosis.
Ofcourse it is. Thats exactly how hypnosis helps reshaping the belief.
Try the same technique, but this time believe that each tap is equal to 10 dollars or one tap = one happy moment that you'll experience tomorrow after waking up. Behold the magic (human capacity to make things happen by belief)
worth trying
Pillow tap is genius! Thanks 🙏
Conditioning your brain ig
It does. It’s called “Anchoring”
The world needs Hypnotising.
I think the problem is the world is hypnotized.
No, you're wrong. You probably have to hypnotise yourself to learn how to hypnotise others. In order to hypnotise others you have to hypnotise yourself to work hard on hypnotising and hypnotise as many people as you can.
@@thetamax8490 You are both right. We need more appropriate hypnosis for good and noble ends, and less inappropriate hypnosis for selfish and harmful ends.
@@thetamax8490 👍
the world IS hypnotized by the media!
I have hypnotized myself for many years to find the strength to work. It worked for five hrs at a time then I needed to repeat.
Anyone else think at the end that he hypnotized everyone watching into thinking that is how hypnosis works and that it will work so than it will all be a lot simpler to teach?
😳😳😳
If you part your fingers like he said, with or without his voice telling you to, they will automatically come together. It's not a result of his hypnosis but normal muscle movement.
usually I dont have patience to watch any video completely..but this is very amazing... everything explained in simple short and precise manner...
My mum hypnotised herself giving birth to me 33 years ago. She says doctors at Royal Stoke in England thought she was going mad then after the midwives wanted her to help other women in labour
Law of Attraction ♥️
"What you think, you become."
It's a bit more complicated than just saying what you want. If it were that simple every prayer would be answered...
Absolutely..right
well, its telling how to use the law of attraction. thinking at any time in the day is not how it works. the law of attraction is based on what your have given your subconscious mind. this is telling you how to load your subconscious mind.
@@trikkke11 the law of attraction is not based on what one says. it is based on thought. not even the bible tells you that prayer alone works. the bible tells to ask and if you believe you've received it, you'll have it. believing you receive something is deeper than hoping for it. thats why the bible says faith is the substance of things hoped for.. hope and faith are not the same thing. hope is what most people think is belief. this is telling you how to create beliefs. faith is the combination of belief and action. belief and action are the substance of things hoped for. the bible is telling you hope alone will not do it. what the subconscious mind believes is what one ultimately believes.
@@trikkke11 by the way that is the meaning of I AM. you must believe YOU ARE subconsciously to attract what you are interested in. it is deductive as opposed to induction. read thomas troward to learn what the law of attraction actually is.
Exactly True
I Tried It, Self Programming Which Is Really Worked As I Were Planned Before Going Bad
"As a man thinketh, so is he"

@@oliviawutam as a man thinkeht so is she? 😂😂😂 have a nice day.
A great and simplified understanding of Hypnosis and it's many uses. Thank you Dan for representing our industry so well!
You’re scam you mean. As it took 9 mins to make you useless.
I'm disabled from being jumped in 2019. My legs and back can control some of my days. Just pain and stiffness, can hypnosis help me be productive even when I'm filled with negative thoughts of my future, or when I get down because I can't respond to my 4 children how I would like because my pain, body and mind gets consumed by the thought of this continuing until I'm elderly. I'm 32 but feel 28 since I had 3 years of learning to walk. Freak man.... Trying to stay above water
I’m learning to do this type of healing, too.
We used to call it the power of positive thinking.
its not that alone. the timing is paramount. it is the same thing as what happens when you watch tv though. food for thought.
Its much more than that, like Benjamin said. If your brain is a computer, then hypnosis is the command prompt.
Not at all. I'm generally a negative person and yet I still manifest and accomplish things.
@@AG-nn8lp well you put that out in the universe so yes you are that’s the law of attraction
4:47 is when he starts actually hypnotizing.
It's great! 😊
I always believed change your attitude change your life, but recently I am up against new struggles that's overwhelming and I'm struggling to stay positive and I have a long road ahead. I will start tonight and keep you posted. Thank you
So how did it go?
It works. I quit smoking after more than 30 years with one session of hypnosis. I quit sugar with one session.
Positive energy breeds Positive energy...
I noticed a difference after my first night of self hypnotizing. The very next day.
How are you now?
Are you still doing it?
A truly great presentation, direct and to the point.
The comments here are terrific, most people really do want to be the best they can be, but sometimes it takes a little help, like this.
Amazing advice 👏
It really works it has eased my pain I have and makes me sleep better too.

HOW DO YOU
@@oomuchachoo is 9
Thank you for your precious advice
Thank you. This makes complete sense. It's easier than we make it out to be and is so true. What we think in our own minds does indeed create our world around us.
this really helps i did this for a better paying job and i actually got it i went from making 15 dollars to making 30 dollars and hour with the same skills i just kept picturing me with more money in another job doing better and boom here i am going higher and higher
This is exactly how I became a master of lucid dreaming is visualizing and concentrating on my dreams as I was falling asleep. Over the course of a month with this nightly ritual I am super powered in my dreams. Believe it or not but try it first. I always told people to meditate on their dreams but now that I hear this explanation, it makes me wonder if this is what really happened.
I have been researching hypnosis and am so excited that I can do it myself. Dan is so simple and to the point! Awesome TedTalk! :)
Tried it and it failed
Yes, seeing ourselves accomplishing a goal even before to get it train the brain to have better ideas on how to get there and reach our full potential. I will be a coach next year when I master this simple technique
@@fredodhiambo6238 it can take time. As the speaker was saying, he's been doing it everyday since 7th grade. If it is hard to imagine things, it can be difficult to really visualise them in your mind but it doesn't have to be a one off time. You can do it everyday and you might find it quite therapeutic and relaxing.
Just watched this in bed, much better than a headspace ad.
To have a fantastic collaboration with yourself:
1. Tell your mind what you want.
2. Link massive pleasure to going there and pain to not going there.
3. Change the pictures and the words. Using very detailed words.
4. Make the familiar unfamiliar, and the unfamiliar familiar.
5. Make Self Belief so normal to you, that everyone believes in you too.
✨
Your potential expands beyond what you can imagine...
It was an amazing session, very easy to implement ..thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge sir..
it was a wonderful speech.
That's the best way I ever learned about the hypnosis !!!
Thank you so much !!!
I'm a stage hand and I do conventions in Las Vegas, one show we do every year is called Western Vet, it a convention of Veterinarian's on the Western part of the United States, well when they bring their spouses, they need to be entertained while their other half are in classes and presentation all day. So everyday was different entertainment, day 1- comedian day 2- inspiration speaker day 3 - hypnotist, can't remember his name but really nice gentleman, let's call him Bill, Bill ask me to add a little drama to his act by dimming the lights in the introduction, I did, and then he started to explain what and how he was going to do some snaps and claps and whistles and some people will fall under hypnosis. It was about 15 to 20 folks in the room, a lady in particular caught my attention, because she was very quiet and sat in the same seat, which was right in front of my tech table, her ethnicity was Asian, and very quiet and obedient. Well the 3rd day she sat in the same chair and ad Bill started his act, this lady fell under Bills Hypnosis. Bill brought her up to the stage and she was really under Bills spell. I couldn't believe it, her husband would walk with her to the ballroom before he went to his classes, she was legitimate audience member. Now the fun starts, Bill had her do some small things such as raise your hand when u say a certain word, then he said let's see what talent she has, and my mouth fell open, he had this quiet, obedient, Asian lady about 45 yrs old, sing Respect by Aretha Franklin which so much soul it was the unbelievable act that I've seen, it was believable, he snapped her out of her Hypnosis and she attended the next day just like she did the first 2 days, if I didn't see it with my own eyes are own mind I would not believe it. I put that on everything
Thanks alot man. god bless you👍
V interesting speech by Dan Candell. He made it sound very simple, and indeed all great ideas are simple. Hat off!
The Bible says" as a man thinks in his heart so is he".
or She. have a nice day
Back in the day this night time hypnotizing method... we just called it good old fashion praying....😆. Pray yourself into a better you. Pray for a sunnier tomorrow, praying for peaceful life, praying for a better you.
But just like hypnosis... praying only works if you truly believe.💁🏽♀
@@SheSweetLikSugarNSavage I pray for others as well as myself. I try not to be a selfish person so I pray for others much. I also give thanks in all things, even the hurtful, painful ones. My eyes are open and I am not hypn. but I have been once when I was in high school. It helped me then, I cant say for now but it helped then, nothing wrong with that as long as it is used for good? I think?
Thoughts become words. Words become actions. Actions become character. It’s true.
Ok
Wherever you are Dan I love you! thank you for all this!
Charlie Manson talked about programming..I have always been a fan. But that's besides the point. My childhood was dark, simply because i was keen to being programmed & didn't much appreciate it. I held on to my Self and my Intuition for dear life. So grateful for my endurance & strength in this, though externally i am small & meek with my fellow man, I am able to stand for my principles again & again.
Great message Dan. Thoughts are things. We create our own reality by what we feed ourselves and focus upon. As Earl Nightingale said, "Whatever we plant in our subconscious mind and nourish with repetition and emotion will one day become a reality."
I don't think it causes reality to change. I think it will cause you to take ACTION which makes it more likely you will be successful. If you feel confident you will ACT confident. If you feel wealthy you will take action on a business plan and not be as scared. I don't think you are bending reality but just becoming a better you which can then cause things to happen
Yes Ashley. Very good. That's another way of saying it, because when it changes your behavior-pattern reactions and beliefs about what you can do, you're basically changing or modifying your reality. All good stuff!
Steven Graham, Hypnotherapist yes I fell down the rabbit hole of new age consciousness that thinks you can literally bend reality by not taking any action. Look up Neville Goddard if you have free time. He claims imagination literally creates reality
This is so true! I've been doing this as well since I was very young. The truth is I've noticed it works, I just didn't know it is hypnosis.
One of the best Ted talks I have ever came across. Thank you Sir....🙏
I’m hypnotized by his hand movements
A well constructed talk, very thought provoking
Great idea. I'm gonna do this exercice immediately and do it every night before to sleep seeing myself having an amazing day.
It's only for people who really want to do it & get great results. Not just add information into your brain, but Transformation.
Thx great info. I watch it again and again. Masterpiece of work.
So you have to think better so that you feel better and do better in life. Before going to sleep think about what you want to be or how you want to live your life in the next day in a positive way there is a good chance that tomorrow will be better.
It's kind of law of attraction. Programming ur subconscious mind
Thank you very much, I was looking for some inspiration for myself and nothing could help me more than this video did. Thanks a lot! I'm going to be a better person a achieve my desired goals.
This is one of the best TED Talks I've ever listened to. Amazing! Thank you, Dan Candell :)
When I was a teenager I used this without realizing it and it worked. I'm going to put my best foot forward and start using it again
Dan - Finally I took a moment go find this video of your TEDx Talk and watch it. WOW! What a great job you did! Great presentation on what hypnosis is - specifically self-hypnosis - how to do it for yourself and how it can benefit you. I agree with Kathryn about your explanation toward the end that: "It might look like you are putting people to sleep, but by doing this exercise, what you're actually doing is awakening a part of your mind." So true!
So much THIS!! I really began doing this and it does work. The trick is to not fall asleep before you finish... but even if you do, you have set your mind to a task and things begin to happen!
This guy is great. Very inspiring
Good video. Basically about attitude and removing negativity. The finger thing, for me, was circumstantial in that keeping the fingers apart requires work, thus, when focusing on other than holding the fingers apart, the fingers will relax and close to their normal state of rest.
Thankyou for reminding me I am in control.
Very well said dude. We're on the same path. God blesses us all.
Wow ! I will start hypnotizing myself . This makes a lot of sense . Thank you
I've been interested in - or perhaps I should say fascinated by - hypnosis in general, for years, but as incredible as I found it, I always felt it to be a discomfiting prospect. I have pronounced personality traits that some would correlate with highly suggestible people (fantasy-prone, have a very vivid imagination, engaged in it a lot as a child, some creative aspects) but at the same time I'm also fairly analytical and fear losing conscious control or volition, to the point that I've never taken any substance that would induce this (I'm no stranger to alcohol, but I never drank to the point I couldn't remember the following morning).
I'm not blind to the incredible phenomena that can be achieved via hypnotism, but nor do I pretend that its risks and abuses don't also exist. I'm of the mind that no external agent should have greater influence over us than we do ourselves. An unrealistic ideal, perhaps, but an ideal nonetheless. The thought of succumbing to an induction from a stage or street hypnotist sends me into fits of anxiety, even as I would like to think even my subconscious would reject any suggestion for amnesia. But at the same time, self-hypnosis as a tool for personal growth and positive change seems much more amenable to me as a concept.
I've been experimenting with various auto-suggestion techniques for the past week or so and I feel much better about myself already. I'm exercising more frequently, have caught up on personal affairs, my room is a lot more organised, and my overall focus, mood and confidence have noticeably improved from the previous month. It's subtle, but I notice it in retrospect - and it's at the level that I don't really care whether it's a result of increased levels of self-belief, a result of subconscious suggestions, or both. If I've ever been in a trance, it's probably been a very light one, but I had quite a meaningful personal revelation not too long ago which I don't think is coincidental. Thinking too hard about it seems counterproductive, anyway, so I'm happy simply to embrace it.
I think everyone should learn to unlock their innermost potentials and I just see this as one more avenue to doing so. But concerning hetero-hypnosis I would still advocate that people be judicious regarding whom they consent to accept suggestions from, as I've read a number of horror stories, too. Licensed hypnotherapists would probably be the best option, I have some extremely mixed feelings about stage hypnotists - I feel that something as intimate as the mind should not be toyed with for the sake of amusement.
I do this for five minutes and after that my mind starts wandering and I won't sleep for the next hour or two. In that hour or two, My thoughts would go all over.
Try to stay calm in your mind
Hypnotise yourself to include that you will only continue to relax and fall asleep as you focus on those things. That the positive feelings help you sleep.
Simple, elegant solution! Thanks so much for presenting this!

Love this video. Thank you Dan Candell
Wonderful presentation. Especially like your turn of phrase: it may seem like you are putting people to sleep, however you are awakening a part of their mind.

That's how I worked while I was in school, and later, at work, and for everything in life ... imagine the outcome and stick to that image ... Of course I studied, worked, tried, but before I did this I started working in high school, something would always stop me ... I've started working when I was 14 years old read a book by Norman Vincent Peale
