Hypnosis Techniques
Today, hypnosis has become an increasingly popular self-improvement tool. It is regularly used in behavior modification therapy such as weight control, sports improvement, stress release, memory enhancement, and the treatment of fears and phobias. Recently, some powerful new uses for hypnosis have come to light. One of the most publicized and popular is past-life regression. An impressive number of recently published hypnotic regressions have obtained verifiable information from past centuries, including specific names, dates, places, and events.
Modern hypnosis is regularly used to regress individuals to a previous physical life. During this process, the person can uncover, experience, and resolve a present problem, fear, or phobia by going to the source of the dilemma.
During several of the past-life regressions I've conducted, I have noticed a tendency for some of my clients to experience a brief out-of-body state of awareness. This generally occurs during the transition experienced between physical lives. After additional investigation, it became clear that hypnosis could be used to induce a controlled out-of-body adventure. With minor modifications, the induction techniques normally used in past-life regression are generally quite effective in out-of-body exploration. The basic hypnotic induction can remain the same, only the directions after the induction are changed.
Hypnosis has provided dramatic benefits for millions of people in the past decade. Now modern hypnosis can be used to initiate a self-controlled, out-of-body experience. It can be effective in several different areas.
Benefits of Hypnosis for Astral Projection
1.
Hypnosis can effectively induce the ideal mental state for out-of-body exploration (mind alert - body relaxed).
2.
Hypnosis can assist in the control, reduction, and elimination of subconscious and conscious blocks, fears, and limits relating to the out-of-body experience.
3.
Hypnotic suggestions can be effective in triggering a fully conscious out-of-body experience. For example, the hypnotic suggestions "I become consciously aware during my dreams" or "My dreams trigger a conscious out-of-body experience" can substantially assist the dream conversion process. Suggestions, such as, "After I enter sleep, I recognize and experience a fully conscious out-of-body adventure" or "Sleep triggers my out-of-body experiences" can be used to reinforce and enhance an individual's ability to positively respond to their out-of-body techniques.
4.
Hypnosis can be used to improve visualization, concentration, and meditative skills.
When selecting a trained hypnotherapist, it is recommended that you check qualifications. Many states require a certification or license. Next, inquire into areas of expertise. (Many are specialists in such areas as weight control or eating disorders.) The ideal choice is someone who has an extensive background in past-life regression or life between life with knowledge of metaphysics and out-of-body exploration. Such individuals are generally more familiar with the nonphysical (thought responsive) environments you experience when out-of-body. They also possess more experience in dealing with the unique perceptions and experiences which may occur during an out-of-body experience. Often their awareness of metaphysics give them a greater understanding of your motivations and goals concerning your out-of-body adventure.
Self-hypnosis provides a powerful new tool for self-improvement. Often our fears and limits are subconsciously programmed within us. Internally we have accepted a rigid concept of ourselves and our abilities. Subconsciously we have accepted limits to our abilities and our potential. These subconscious limits are the walls that hold us from our unlimited potential. In a sense we have built walls around ourselves.
One of the most effective ways to dissolve our self-accepted limits and fear is to confront them directly. Hypnosis gives us the unique ability to access our subconscious mind and resolve our fears and limits. In addition we can reprogram our subconscious mind for success in any endeavor including nonphysical exploration.
Out-of-body Self-hypnosis
The following is a self-hypnosis script that can be used at home.
As you record this hypnosis script, take your time and speak in a relaxed tone of voice. At each break between phrases, pause for approximately two seconds. Attempt to be consistent throughout the taping. Many people have a tendency to speed up as they record, so take your time and relax. Pauses which are longer than a couple seconds will be indicated.
I recommend a digital recorder or phone app.
When doing this self-hypnosis technique, become as comfortable as possible in your designated out-of-body exploration area. If possible, use a recliner or a comfortable sofa. Select a time and place which will allow you an hour and a half of solitude. If needed, temporarily unplug the phone. NEVER USE A HYPNOSIS TAPE WHEN DRIVING A CAR!
