Is it possible to hypnotize yourself?

Answer 1

Under normal circumstances no but if you consume some mind altering substance you can.

Answer 2

Yes, I do it all the time. You probably do it without knowing it. Hypnosis is simply the power of suggestion. If you tell yourself you can/will do something it is the same as hypnosis. When I practice self hypnosis, 1.) I sit quietly , you can't have any distractions, 2.) I relax my body; by telling each part of my body is relaxed I go from my toes to my head. you can feel any tension in your body being released 3.) I tell my self I'm going into a deep state of hypnosis 4.) Imagine going down a escalator, counting backward from 10, and saying I will be in a deep state of Hypnosis when I reach to bottom of the escalator. 5.) I make my suggestions If I have to I will repeat steps 2,3 & 4. Before I start, I have a suggestion picked out that I want to use, for instance I will stop smoking, or I will lose weight. It is important to use positive words. I find it useful to use the word Now, it really helps. I read in one self-hypnosis book using Now reverts back to your childhood, when your parents would tell you to do something Now. There are a lot of good books at the library on self hypnosis. Try "Beginners Guide to Self Hypnosis by Ursula Markham"
