Spiralling down
into a state of wake-unconsciousness is not like how you see it on T.V. Self
hypnosis is something I would not recommend because the potential disasters are
very real and severe damage could happen to anyone who doesn’t know what they
are doing. Now, I realise that it is extremely useful and that personal
development practitioners have been touting the power of hypnotism for the past
few decades.
There is nothing
new about it at all and science, as well as medicine has been using hypnotism
in areas of healing and brain activity improvement for a long time. The thing
is, doing this yourself is like opening your mind to the world. In a state of
hypnosis, you feel lighter and more vapid, as if you are in your own dream with
a certain amount of control. It is an OOB or out of body experience and you
feel extremely relaxed and detached from the rest of the world.
The mind in this
state is extremely suggestible and nobody has any idea how suggestible we are. You
can be totally immersed in the whole experience, so immersed in fact - you
might not be able to fully come out of it. What you are doing is bypassing the
brains defence mechanism - the conscious mind - and literally gaining access to
the core building blocks and controlling agents of your behaviours, your
attitudes and your personality. The subconscious mind is incapable of anything
but doing whatever you tell it to, which is a dangerous power in itself.
There is a moral
reasoning here as some say no one should have that sort of power or control
over their subconscious. While there is no regulatory body that says you cannot
self hypnosis (and obviously no way to control it). Also, you have no idea of
the true impact of some messages as they get transplanted directly into the
brain, so it can actually do more bad than good if you think about it. Your
mind is something you should not tamper with lightly and because the majority
of self hypnotists are not exactly experts, the chances of things going wrong
are very tenable.
Leave these
things to licensed and governed practitioners or seek the advice of a doctor
before you do anything. Some self hypnosis programmes are also used for things
other than good - it can be engineered for you to purchase something you don’t
need. The profit factor is always out there and you should be wary of these
programmes.
Do a lot of
research, and if you need self improvement , there are many brain wave
entrainment programs out there that use safer and more visceral methods than
putting yourself in that vulnerable state where anything can happen. The dangers
of self hypnosis are very real and you should avoid it at all costs. Personal
development is great and the mind is a powerful thing but you need the right
tools before you go in and decide you want to change some things.
