The Everything Self-Hypnosis Book
Dear Reader,
As a hypnotherapy instructor for many years, I have had the opportunity to instruct students around the world to be hypnotherapists. The one topic that always seems to amaze them is how often they actually go into hypnosis on a daily basis.
From where I sit now, I realize that I have been both the subject as well as the deliverer of hypnotic suggestions most of my life. I realize that I had been hypnotizing thousands of people even before my years as a formal hypnotherapist. I had been doing so in various occupations I helda U.S. Army drill instructor, a national sales trainer, an ordained minister for many years, and even as a father raising six children.
This book will not only help you to realize how you have been and are being hypnotized on a daily basis, but it will show you how easy it is to effectively take control of this life-changing process and purposefully direct it toward helping you attain your goals now.

Introduction
Have you ever wished there was a way to quit smoking or lose weight permanently and easily? Have you ever had difficulty sleeping and wished there were an immediate solution? Have you ever wished that you could relax and have better memory retention while taking a test? Have you ever dreamt about having a perfect relationship, being wealthy, and even having great health? While those are some pretty lofty goals, this book can help you take steps in that direction.
All the knowledge that you need to relax, renew your health, eliminate pain, or be successful at any of your desires is already within you. This book will show you how to uncover and utilize that magical power that lies dormant deep within.
All hypnosis is self-hypnosis. You spend the majority of your life in a hypnotizable state. The definition of hypnosis is simply being open to suggestion. You are either open to suggestion or not. You either accept things or you reject them. If you are open to suggestion, you are in a hypnotizable state. That is the basis of hypnosis. The more that you accept and are open to suggestion, the deeper in hypnosis you are. You are being given suggestions constantly in virtually every place you go and everything you do.
This book will teach you how to become aware of the many types of suggestion you are being bombarded with each day. It happens everywhere, from the grocery store, malls, on television and every other form of media, at work, while driving, at school, to family, religion, clubs, the government, and virtually everything else that you participate in.
Once you have become aware of what is happening, you can then take control of what you accept or reject. You will be able to use the power of self-hypnosis to give yourself suggestions in order to progress in attaining your goals.
You will learn many ways to hypnotize yourself easily and permanently. Many of them you are probably doing right now and are just not aware of. You will learn the misconceptions and roadblocks pertaining to hypnosis and how to avoid them. You will be able to condition your thought process to program yourself for success in every area of life including health, wealth, relationships, happiness, and many other topics.
Take the time to study this book and follow the instructions given. You will find that upon completion of this book you will not only have the ability to change virtually any area of your life for the better, but youll also be able to do the same for the lives of your family, friends, and loved ones.
