I could help, but I'm curious- what is your ultimate goal once you're in the trance? What do you want to get out of the experience?

Just for general use. For instance I've been keeping a dream journal lately as its easier to remember my dreams since I quit drinking. I would like to be able to 'incubate' a dream, by possibly stating to myself "I am going to enter a trance for the purpose of having a dream about me going back to school"...or "being at the cottage", etc. This is not the only thing that I would like to use self-hypnosis for. I would like to use it for a multitude of things (learning, going over study material, etc.)

Thanks Jason

Hypnotizing oneself is the easy part, it's what to do AFTER that is where it gets a little more challenging :)

I like using tapes or recordings of my own voice. When I want to make a change in myself, I write out what I want to have happened, describe it, detail it, look for the words and phrases that are the most meaningful to me. Then I flesh all those things out into a script, adding details or other little flourishes where I think they might be useful.

When I record it, I run through the usual inductions, hitting on anchors I typically use to get me into the state. All of that is the same stuff, but the suggestions are customized depending on what my mental mission is. I just read it aloud and improvise here and there, and then listen to the playback.

Works pretty well for me.

Hi Antonio! I basically do the same thing as Jason. Create a script for myself, record, then listen. I like to listen to it at the low energy part of my day around 4pm and use it like a power nap. Often towards the end of the script I'll leave a 5-10 minute space of ringing of a Tibetan bowl for lucid dreaming or problem solving or simply balancing my hemispheres---always a good thing:)

Jamie, I finished up a recording last night. It utilized eye closure/fixation with some imagery of a switch to turn my eyelids on and off...then I used a 10 to 1 count to further relax my body. I tried to use this last night, but I ended up passing out. Today when I used it I was getting into a decent trance. On my track I have the following suggestion:

"When I wiggle my right thumb and say purple poppies, I will return to this same level of trance or deeper".

When I fire off my suggestion my eyelids get heavy and my eyes start to roll into the back of my head. This all happens within a matter of a few seconds. Then I have suggestions to take me back down even further. I go down, but not as much as I'd like to. With regular listening to this track, should I be able to get to a nice deep trance?
