| For self-hypnosis, you need to get yourself into a deep trance. The following is an excerpt from "A Treatise on Astral Projection" by Robert Bruce:
| |
| | |
| "How To Enter A Trance"
| |
| | |
| Relax and calm your mind through breath awareness. Imagine you are climbing down a ladder in the dark. Don’t visualize a ladder; just imagine you can feel yourself doing it. On the exhale, feel yourself climbing a step or two down the ladder. On the inhale, feel yourself holding still on the ladder.
| |
| | |
| What is needed is a mental falling effect inside your mind. This changes the level of brain wave activity from the awake level (Beta) to the asleep level (Alpha) or the deep sleep level (Theta). Once your level of brain wave activity reaches Alpha you will enter a trance.
| |
| | |
| Keep doing this for as long as it takes. The time it takes to enter trance will vary, depending on your experience with deep relaxation and mental calmness.
| |
| | |
| Note: Once you get the heavy feeling, stop the mental falling exercise. If you don’t like the ladder, imagine you are in a lift [elevator], feel yourself falling on the exhale and holding on the inhale, or, imagine you are a feather, feel yourself floating down on the exhale and holding still on the inhale. As I stated above, you need a mental falling effect to lower your level of brain wave activity. This mental falling effect, when combined with deep relaxation and mental calmness, will cause you to enter the trance state. Feel free to use any scenario you are familiar with to bring about this going deeper feeling.
| |
| | |
| A trance feels like: Everything gets quieter and you feel like you are in a much bigger place. There is a very slight humming feeling in your body. Everything feels different. It feels a bit like putting a cardboard box over your head in the dark, you can feel the atmosphere change. It’s like everything goes fuzzy or slightly blurred. Any sharp noises, while in trance are painful.
| |
| | |
| Deep Trance
| |
| | |
| The level of trance you achieve depends greatly on your relaxation, concentration skills and will power. To enter a deeper trance, i.e., Theta level and beyond, you have to concentrate much more and for much longer, on the mental falling sensation aided by breath awareness. The first level of trance, i.e., when you get very heavy, is quite deep enough for projection. I strongly advise against forcing yourself deeper than a light trance, until you have plenty of experience with the trance state.
| |
| | |
| How can you tell if you are entering a deep trance? There are four very noticeable symptoms:
| |
| | |
| # An uncomfortable feeling of cold that doesn’t make you shiver, coupled with a steady loss of body heat. | |
| # Mentally, you will feel very odd and everything will feel extremely slooooow. Your thought processes will slow down as if you had been given a strong pain killing injection.
| |
| # You will feel disassociated from your body, i.e., a strong floating sensation and everything will seem far away.
| |
| # Total physical Paralysis. Note: These four things, ALL TOGETHER, signify you are entering a deep trance. Do not mistake the mild floating sensation you sometimes get with light trance, i.e., as you astral body comes loose. Or the slight loss of body heat from sitting still for a long time and the mild paralysis, i.e., the heaviness, for a deep trance. The sensation of deep trance is quite uncomfortable and unmistakable for what it is.
| |
| | |
| It is very difficult to get into the deep trance state, as you need highly developed relaxation, concentration and trance state skills plus lots and lots of will power and mental energy. You will not accidentally fall into it. If you are worried you are going too deep, remember this: You CAN pull yourself out of it at any time. Concentrate ALL your will on moving your fingers or toes. Once you can move a finger or toe, flex your hands, move your arms, shake your head, i.e., reanimate your body; and get up and walk around for a few minutes. Falling into a deep trance should not be a problem with these exercises.
| |
| | |
| Energy Body Expansion
| |
| | |
| At some point after entering the trance state, you will feel a mild paralysis come over you. This will soon be accompanied by a deepening vibration and a buzzing feeling all over. You may also feel like you are huge and swollen. The paralysis, vibrations and the huge feeling are symptoms of the energy body expanding and the astral body loosening. This is part of the normal sleep process. The energy body expands and opens in order to accumulate and store energy. During this, the astral body drifts free, slightly out phase with the physical body."

| | |
| Some people use a tape recorder and listen to the talking through and statements. The drawback here is when in a deep trance state, sounds can become painful and jar the nervous system. Everyone is individual and one should experiment to find the best individual methods. What works for one person may not work for another.
| |
| | |
| While in this state, you can [[Meditation for Past Life Regression|regress into a past life]], by walking through a door or "portal" in your mind.
| |
| | |
| The deep trance state is the time to make repeated affirmations to yourself to program your mind. Self-hypnosis is much like hypnotizing others, with the exception, you make the statements to yourself. Again, several sessions may be necessary. | |
| | |
| Bring yourself out slowly and gradually, as you would do in returning from the astral.
| |
| | |
| == Hypnotizing Others ==
| |
| It is important to [[HYPNOSIS|read all of the articles in the hypnosis section]] so you know what you are doing before hypnotizing another person. In order to effectively hypnotize another person, that person must be completely and deeply relaxed. The person should be sitting comfortably in a reclined position. When lying down, the subject is likely to fall asleep.
| |
| | |
| You must stay calm and in control at all times.
| |
| | |
| Begin by talking the subject through total body relaxation. Start at the feet, have the subject tense them up and relax them; then the ankles, the calves, knees and so on, working your way to the subjects face and head.
| |
| | |
| When the subject is fully relaxed, tell him/her to remember a happy event that took place in their past. Ask him/her questions about it, where it took place, who was there, how he/she felt, what was in the room or area the event took place and so forth. This is done to activate the intuitive right side of the subject’s brain and the subconscious mind of memory.
| |
| | |
| When you are finished with the above, tell the subject you are going to count backwards. With each number, he/she will become more and more relaxed:
| |
| | |
| | |
| You want to determine the [[DETERMINING THE DEPTH OF TRANCE STATES|depth of the trance]] at this stage. If the subject is new to hypnosis, more sessions are usually needed before he/she is able to enter a deep trance. To deepen the trance:*“Ten; you are becoming more and more relaxed than before.”
| |
| *“Nine; you are drifting down deeper and deeper into total relaxation.”
| |
| *“Eight; your body is totally relaxed; you can barely feel your body.”
| |
| *“Seven; you are completely relaxed and feel very peaceful.”
| |
| *“Six; with each breath, you are relaxing more and more with each exhalation.”
| |
| *“Five; we are going all the way down into the deepest level of relaxation.”
| |
| *“Four; relax… three, two, one.”
| |
| Again, you want to determine the [[DETERMINING THE DEPTH OF TRANCE STATES|depth of the trance]] at this stage. If the subject is new to hypnosis, more sessions are usually needed before he/she is able to enter a deep trance. Repeat the steps directly above this paragraph if the subject is still not at the desired level of trance.
| |
| | |
| Here is where you will program the subject’s mind. Make short to the point statements that deal with a specific area or problem. Only work on one problem per session and make sure the problem is resolved before moving onto another. Make all statements to be in the present tense. “Will” never comes and the mind does not understand the future tense.
| |
| | |
| FOR PAST LIFE REGRESSION:
| |
| | |
| Put the subject into a deep trance and say:
| |
| | |
| “I am going to count backward from 10-1.”
| |
| | |
| “With each number, you will enter a deeper and deeper state of relaxation.”
| |
| | |
| “When I reach one, you will be standing in front of a door.”
| |
| | |
| Slowly count backwards.
| |
| | |
| “You are standing in front of a closed door. I am going to count backwards from ten to one and when I reach one, I want you to turn the knob and open the door.” “... 3, 2, 1.”
| |
| | |
| Now ask the subject if he/she opened the door. If not, he/she is not deep enough into the trance for this session to be effective. Either put him/her further under or bring him/her out of the trance and end the session.
| |
| | |
| If he/she opened the door, then say:
| |
| | |
| “I now want you to walk through the door. You are now in a previous life.” “Look around you, what do you see?” “What is the current date?” “Who are you?”
| |
| | |
| Continue talking him/her through the experience.
| |
| | |
| When you are ready to bring the person out- “I am going to count from one to five.” “At the count of five, you will open your eyes, be wide awake, alert and feeling fine.” “1… 2… 3… 4… 5.” “Open your eyes.”
| |
| | |
| If you wish to do a mind wipe, where the subject will not remember anything from the session, be sure to tell them at the end of the session: “When you awaken, you will remember nothing of this session.” “Your last memory will be coming through the door.” (Whatever happened before the session.)
| |
| | |
| With professional hypnosis, a mind wipe is often necessary of the subject experiences trauma during a regression.
| |
| | |
| MORE EXAMPLES:
| |
| | |
| Attracting wealth-
| |
| | |
| “You are attracting more and more money.” “Your life is filled with wealth and you have everything you want.” (Similar statements for money.)
| |
| | |
| For Healing:
| |
| | |
| Have the subject to visualize a bright ball of light like the Sun. Tell him/her to visualize this light on the afflicted body part. “The light is healing energy, that is healing your ______________.”
| |
| | |
| Say to the subject: “Visualize a ball of bright light, like the Sun. Do you see the ball of light?”
| |
| | |
| The subject should answer, “Yes.”
| |
| | |
| “I want you to place the ball of light on your (name of body part).”
| |
| | |
| “Completely surround (name of body part) with the ball of light, feel the warm energy healing your _____.”
| |
| | |
| “The light is full of healing energy that is healing your (name of body part).”
| |
| | |
| “Your ______ is becoming normal and healthy.”
| |
| | |
| Keep talking the subject through this healing process. This may have to be done several times, especially if the problem is chronic.
| |
| | |
| Hypnosis is useful in many areas. It can be used to strengthen concentration, improve intelligence and memory, rid one's self of phobias and bad habits, establishing good habits and so on.
