The tracks are normally recorded onto a Cd, ipod, cell-phone or an mp3 player.

First the Induction, then the particular Affirmation (stop smoking, weight-loss) and finally the Wake-up track, in that order. eg.

 

1. Tropical beach hypnotic induction

2. Feminine desire

3. Wake up

 

Stereo headphones help achieve a deeper trance for the advantage of the binaural brainwaves.

Your hypnotic trance maybe instant or progressive. Some people go very deep in their first session, while others need some practise. This is purely genetic and has no placebo effect.

Some people listen to the tracks in bed before going to sleep, but I personally get more results using the sessions during the day time, on the sofa.

At first I had problems in reaching a deep enough trance because I am a very logical, organized person, but a trick that never fails is to listen to the tracks, and at the same time concentrate on my breathing, making each breath the same. I try to breath using my diaphragm, easily, deep and rhythmic. The process of thinking about your breathing is very hypnotic, mainly because it relieves a major task from the subconscious mind.

When I listen to the tracks, I try to avoid analyzing and questioning, and become more passive to enjoy the journey and the sounds.

I turn off the telephones, and make sure that I won't get disturbed. If I am tense I like to relax my body first starting with the feet, I tense the foot muscles for a couple of seconds and then relax them, then onto the legs, then stomach, shoulders, back, neck, and head in this order, finally letting any negative tensions flow down my arms and fly off out of my hands.

If you have 2 or more different hypnotic sessions eg. (stop smoking and alcoholemia) it is better to concentrate on one session for a few weeks before using the other one. Mixing the affirmations seems to confuse the subconscious mind and dilutes the power and effect.

A light to medium state of hypnosis is all that is necessary to effectively communicate the affirmations. Many people experience excellent results while in their own minds they are "still waiting to be hypnotized" because after the hypnotic session they remembered everything and don't "feel" that hypnosis really occurred. They may have only experienced a feeling of relaxation. Regardless of how deep the state of hypnosis, the success of the hypnotherapy is due to its ability to bypass the "door to change" that has been put up by the conscious mind. This bypass does not require deep hypnosis or somnambulism. Hypnotherapy does not require that the client be "put under" and or experience amnesia.
