Introduction





 



This book is primarily intended to help you learn self-hypnosis for financial
success. You can use the information in this book to create your own
recordings. When used in conjunction with Steves audio recordings for the
Wealth-Trigger, this book will act as a guide to teach you how to create
these recordings.

Rather than being a Zen-like trance in which you are in some sort of
metaphysical state, hypnosis is simply a relaxed state of mind in which you
are more suggestible. From time to time, you may experience a metaphysical
state; however, the goal of hypnosis is to get yourself into a very light
trance, also known as Alpha.

When in Alpha or deeper, you will have brain waves that are altered
(Blakeslee, 2005) and you are more suggestible than when you are in Beta.
You are therefore more able to receive messages that influence positive
change. Anything deeper than Alpha (Delta or Theta) is helpful, but not
necessary.





 



Stages of Consciousness

Hypnotherapy involves four stages of consciousness: Beta, Alpha, Theta,

and Delta. Normal waking consciousness is called Beta. In Beta, your brain
is fully functional and in an alert state. It is paying attention to, and
processing stimuli from the outside world.

In Alpha, you are slowed down slightly and are therefore more focused and
able to dedicate your train of thought to one thing. Equate Alpha to the state
you are in when watching TV, or when you have been driving for a lengthy
period. When driving, your attention is focused on the elements of driving.
Outside stimuli play a lesser role.

At first, you may be aware of things around you such as cars and
pedestrians. After prolonged driving, your attention shifts to what is
happening directly in front of you. This is Alpha.

Alpha is a not-really-here, not-really-out-of-it phase. In Alpha, outside

stimuli no longer distract the person you are hypnotizing, who is then able to
receive habit-altering messages from the hypnotherapist.





 



It is important to note that similar to driving in a trance, a person under

hypnosis still can react as things happen.

A common misconception is that someone under hypnosis cannot react, and

that therefore you will not be able to maintain control. In Alpha, you are
always in the drivers seat, and you are fully capable of reacting and making
decisions.

Some people go deeper than Alpha into Theta or Delta, and you may
transition between Beta, Alpha, Theta, and Delta during the session. Some
people will never attain Theta or Delta, regardless of how deep they want to
go.

However, almost everyone will fall into Alpha on the first session.
Techniques for guiding yourself into Theta or Delta are more complex, and
are beyond the scope of the Wealth-Trigger course. Those techniques are
taught in my advanced hypnosis certification class.

You should know, however, that there are tests for ascertaining how deeply
a person has fallen. Some methods of hypnotherapy are more effective in






 



Theta and Delta. Because you may toggle among stages of consciousness in
any given hypnotherapy session, you may have the experience of only
remembering some of the things in your recorded session. People often
believe that they remember everything, but actually remember very little.

What Is Hypnotherapy?

Hypnotherapy is a combination of hypnosis and therapy, and this is one of

the many attributes separating it from stage hypnosis. Hypnotherapy works
by combining hypnosis with precise, outcome-oriented therapy and targeting
the subconscious mind.

Hypnotherapy is quite different from traditional therapy.

Instead of

spending years with a therapist, people who undergo hypnotherapy will have
an efficient, fast, reliable means of altering negative behavior. Hypnotherapy
produces the most immediate results for changing beliefs and/or behaviors.

It is important to note that hypnotherapy is not for everyone. You may want
to spend years in traditional therapy; getting to know yourself and examining
the roots of your behavior. Hypnosis is just one of the thousands of ways a






 



person can achieve her goals; however, if you want immediate results,
hypnotherapy is the most effective tool.

The beauty of hypnosis is that a persons body does not know the difference
between imagining something and having it happen. As far as the body is
concerned, the physiological responses are the same, regardless of whether
you are imagining something or actually experiencing it.

You have the advantage of intellectually knowing that a situation is

happening only in the imagination, and physically responding as though it
has happened. You will get the benefit of tackling your financial fears,
gaining wealth, or becoming motivated without ever having left the comforts
of your own home.

You can be relaxed in a chair, yet as far as your body knows, you have
conquered your fears in regard to financial success, improved confidence,
learned how to speak to business prospects, and so on.

This means that when, in your waking life, you want to master public
speaking, save money, or stop procrastinating, you will feel as though you






 



have already positively altered these habits. Therefore, you will have the
confidence and ability to move forward.





 



Hypnotherapy Overview

Your self-hypnosis session will begin with an induction, which is the first
part of the recording in which you will be putting yourself into a light trance.
After the induction, you will record a deepening that drops you into an even
deeper trance, as the name suggests. You will then use a script, which is the
therapy portion of the session. The script includes a suggestion for change.
Upon finishing the script, you will segue into amnesia, which suggests that
your conscious mind will forget the session. Finally, you will use trance
termination to bring yourself out of hypnosis. In this ebook, as in the audio
modules, each of these steps will be covered in detail.

However, you may have different needs in regard to building wealth. So, the
therapy session might be changed depending on these specific needs. When
recording your hypnotherapy session, learn to speak monotonously and
slowly. Throughout the session, you should lengthen your words. Your tone
should be monotonous (avoiding any fluctuation in tone) and at a slow
steady rate without variation in volume. (See Chapter 3, Inductions, for more
details.)

You should also use positive words. For example, when I work with people






 



on eliminating procrastination, rather than calling it procrastination, I call

it motivation, because this is the positive way of looking at the situation.
Learn to state things positively. Instead of saying that you are afraid to take
risks, say that you have freedom to take risks. Experiment with positive
phrasing.

Some professionals believe that you should not use the word no or not,
because they believe that the subconscious mind drops these words. In other
words, instead of hearing, You will not procrastinate, they believe you
will hear, You will procrastinate.

I often use the words no and not with positive results. However, to be on
the safe side, you may choose to avoid using negative words. Instead, say, I
will be done putting projects off to the last possible minute, or I will have
unlimited motivation to complete projects.

Recording Your Sessions

Because it takes approximately 21 days to form new habits, you should be

prepared to record your hypnotherapy sessions so that you can listen to your
sessions each night, thus reinforcing change.






 



I sell hypnosis recordings from my website, and sometimes people buy four
or more recordings at once: sales mastery, unlimited wealth, unlimited
confidence, and unlimited motivation! These people may intend to listen to
all four recordings at once. You do not want to do this. Tackle one challenge
at a time, and give yourself three weeks to change a single habit. Allow
yourself to ease into the change. If you try to force change, or if you listen to
the recording 21 times in one day, you will get frustrated.

Remember: Set reasonable goals. Avoid forcing change; doing so could be

counterproductive.

Controlling the Environment

You should establish a quiet space that allows you to control the
environment. Cut yourself off from the outside world and focus your
attention on self-hypnosis. You must have relax and be in an oasis, separate
from the outside world.

In controlling the environment, first make sure you have gone to the
restroom. Dropping yourself into Alpha and sustaining hypnosis is difficult
if you are squirming with discomfort. So think ahead if you need to use the






 



restroom.

Likewise, make sure you put your cell phone on silent mode. Make sure that
you are in an environment where you will be undisturbed. There should be
an absence of barking dogs or sounds of traffic. If these sounds are in the
environment, you can play soothing music in the background and even add
relaxing music to your recording. I enjoy binaural tones.

Make sure that the temperature in your environment is just right for you.
Give yourself the option of being reclined. A comfortable, reclining chair is
perfect for this.

I prefer to be reclined in a nearly horizontal position with an eye covering,

like the ones that are sold for sleeping or airplane trips, over your eyes to
block out any light. I listen to my voice through headphones.

You are not going to see anything because your eyes are going to be
covered. You are not going to hear anything except your voice and perhaps
the sound of gentle music playing in the background. You may want to be
covered with one or two blankets, depending on the temperature.






 



I want to completely control the environment, and for this reason, I practice
self-hypnosis at home during a quiet time of the day when I know there will
be no distractions. I also find it wonderful to listen to hypnosis recordings at
night as I fall asleep. Your mind will still accept positive suggestions for
change even if you drift off to sleep while listening to your recording.

Again, you want to insure that you will not be interrupted during the session.
I learned this lesson the hard way in 1986. I had a patient, a doctor, who
wanted to be hypnotized. She was on call during our first session, and she
kept getting up during the hypnosis session to respond to her pager. She was
not respecting the session. I immediately formed a strict policy against this
disruptive activity. If you are on call or too busy to dedicate yourself to a
self-hypnosis session, make time. Do not allow yourself to be disturbed.

Some people like to multitask, but hypnosis is not the place for multitasking.
Think of it like surgery it would not be acceptable if someone knocked on
the door during surgery, or if the doctor stopped operating so that you could
take a cell phone call.

The bottom line is this: Control your environment.





 



Helpful Tip

Go to a hypnotherapist for a general session on motivation, and pay attention

to how they do things. You can get some great ideas from hypnotherapists.

Suggested Practice

As you go through this book, I suggest that you take at least one week to
complete the suggested practice in each chapter. Use the time to thoroughly
understand each chapter and you can e-mail me at support@wealthtrigger.com with any questions.





 



Inductions





 



An induction is the tool that you will use to induce hypnosis. It marks the
beginning of hypnosis (and the beginning of the recording you will make for
yourself). Inductions come in all shapes and sizes. This chapter will focus on
inductions that are highly effective.

Relaxation Inductions

The basic induction is called a relaxation induction. With a relaxation

induction, you want to bore yourself into the Alpha state. Imagine talking to
someone and trying to bore her. Some people are able to do this naturally.
Some people will start talking, and their listeners immediately get a glazedover look in their eyes. That type of speaker would be an excellent
hypnotherapist. If you are one of those people, congratulations! Now you
can help yourself with your natural ability to bore.

Have you ever been in a classroom with a teacher who talked incessantly
with a monotone voice because she has taught the same subject for years and
has no passion left in her entire being? That may have actually done you
some good. Although you could not consciously pay attention, you may
have processed some of the information hypnotically. I guarantee you that






 



the teacher was lulling you into a trance.

Watching TV will lull you into a trance. Driving a car will lull you into a
trance. A slow-talking, monotonous teacher speaking for 45 minutes will
definitely lull you into a trance. During a relaxation induction, speak in a
monotone voice. Stretch out your words. Speak slowly and methodically and
enunciate clearly.

When working with the subconscious mind, you must be very careful that
you say exactly what you mean. The subconscious mind will take things
literally. Any time you make a hypnosis recording, speak very clearly. Make
sure that you can understand every word.

You need to speak slowly and clearly so that there is no misunderstanding,

because if you pronounce a word incorrectly, the subconscious mind may
process it as another word.

Practice saying the phrase, Jack and Jill went up the hill. Stretch out the
words, especially the word and. Practice this until it is as relaxing (i.e.,
boring) as possible. This is the only time in your life when being boring is a






 



good thing. If you are not sure of the tone of voice that you should use, visit
http://www.BetterLivingWithHypnosis.com.

Any of the CDs or MP3s

there will serve as an excellent example.

It is important to refer to the five senses during the induction. Most people
relate strongly to one of the senses: Sight, touch, hearing, smell, or taste. I
like to involve as many of the other senses as possible. By involving all the
senses, you can access all the senses you relate the most strongly with.

Make sure that the induction has something for you to see, to feel, to hear, to
taste, and to smell. If you already know that you relate strongly to one
particular sense, reference that sense more often than the others in your
induction. But use all of the senses to make a well-rounded induction every
time.

Let me illustrate this point by taking you through an induction. Because the
purpose of the induction is to slow yourself down, you should also play soft,
calming music in the background.

(Feel free to use verbatim any of the

hypnosis session material I provide in this ebook.)





 



All right now. I want you to take a deep breath in through your nose,
inhaling very slowly, filling your lungs and stretching them out. Thats right.
Hold it. Open your mouth slightly and exhale very slowly, and as you do,
just feel your body relaxing, relaxing, relaxing. Good. Now to help you to
relax, I want you to visualize yourself on a beautiful beach. It is your beach.
You are relaxed and safe. You are walking along the beach. Feel the warm,
soft sand on your feet. Feel the warmth of the sun relaxing every part of your
body. Inhale the scent of the sea air. Feel the relaxing breeze blowing gently
across your body as you walk slowly down to the water, where the waves are
making a relaxing sound.

Lets break this down. First of all, breathing in and out slowly is going to
relax you. You will take three or four deep breaths in and out. Just relax
yourself and slow down.

Lets now take a look at the rest of the induction. I want you to visualize
yourself on a beautiful beach. Here, I am referring to your sense of sight.
You are walking along the beach. This is the kinesthetic (movement) aspect.
I have engaged the feelings of motion and have offered something to those
people who relate strongly to motion.






 



Feel the warm, soft sand on your feet. Now I have engaged tactile listeners.
Notice that I did not just say, You are feeling the sand. I described the
sand. I made it real. The sand feels warm. It feels soft. (You may even say
the sand is white, which again involves the visual sense.) I grew up in South
Florida, so I can relate strongly to this experience. I have been on the beach
many times, and that sand is warm, if not hot. That brings back a clear
memory for me. You have probably walked barefoot on a beach in the
daytime. Be sure to use something that is familiar to you. Feel the warmth
of the sun relaxing every part of your body. Again, I am referring to the
sense of feeling, also called touch or the tactile sense. Ive also linked the
feeling to something relaxing.

Inhale the scent of the sea air. Here, I have prompted the olfactory sense,
appealing to the sense of smell. Most people know exactly the smell I mean
when I say sea air. Feel the relaxing breeze blowing gently across your
body. Here I am using the tactile sense (the sense of touch).

As you walk slowly down to the water. You are moving in your mind.
Again, I am engaging the kinesthetic (motion) sense.





 



It is important to engage all of the senses because you may relate strongly to
several senses. You may be very visual. For example, in your minds eye,
you may see the beach clearly. They may fill the ocean with sailboats, put
buildings on the land in the distance, and add a few clouds in the beautiful
blue sky.

Or you may not see anything. You will listen to that exact same induction,
and you will have a nonvisual sense of being on the beach. You will have
the feeling that you are on the beach because you can feel it on the soles of
your feet. Or you just somehow sense that you are there. Maybe the smell,
the scent of the sea air draws you in.

Unless you want to get into an extensive (and unnecessary) pretest to

determine which sense you favor, cover every sense. Even if you know that
you relate strongly to motion, add the other sensory elements; doing so will
engage you more fully. You want to make sure that you hear a description of
all the things people typically experience at the beach.

By the way, if you are afraid of water or of beaches for any reason, you
should use a different induction. There are so many alternative inductions to






 



use!

Inductions should incorporate the types of experiences that you enjoy. For
instance, if you are a scuba diver, your inductions might be about a dive.
Think about the possibilities. You are going down, down, deeper and deeper.
Maybe you like to go driving in the desert. You could imagine the drive in
the Mojave Desert at night with the top down on a convertible. Be open and
creative.

You may not want to use the same induction for all of your recordings. You
might want to mix it up. Once, when I was doing a diving induction with a
patient, I said, And now you take a deep breath in through your nose and
out through your mouth. Divers wear regulators in their mouths to get air
from the tank. They do not breathe through their noses while diving! They
breathe through the mouth.

After the session, the client said, You know, that was great and relaxing,
except for when you told me to breathe in through my nose and out through
my mouth. I was not thinking of what the client was experiencing. Instead,
I was looking at the patient in the chair and thinking that she should breathe






 



through her nose. In her mind, she was scuba diving. The mind makes it real
for the body. She was there, and I was incongruent.

Do not be afraid to make mistakes. I have been doing hypnosis for a long
time, and I still make mistakes. If you catch a mistake that you made in your
recording, just re-record it correctly.

Know that the rules are flexible. Think about it like dancing at a club. There
is freedom of expression. Are the rules set in stone? No. You can be flexible.
Do no harm, fix mistakes, but be flexible. Try things with the best of
intentions and flex your muscles, and I guarantee that you will grow.

If something does not work, try something else. You may think, I just could
not get into that. I was not relaxed. What should you do?

First, assure yourself that even in Alpha, you are up to 200 times more
suggestible.

Second, make a change. You may think, Okay, the beach induction is not
working on me. All I can think about is getting a sun burn. If something






 



about your induction is preventing you from relaxing, then you can easily
make a change.

Here are the inductions that I used in the audio portion of this program (in
audio Module 2)

Beach Induction

Okay now, close your eyes. Let your entire body loosen. Now take three
deep breaths on my call. Okaybreathe inexpand your lungs, filling them
with air. Thats positive. Hold it here for a secondand slowly press it out.
Get all of the air out of your lungs. Positive, you are feeling more relaxed
now. Alright now, breathe in again. Air coming through your nose, feel your
chest rise. Thats it, really fill up your lungs. Now hold. Open your mouth
just a little bit, relax your jawandlet out all the air. Slowly release. Feel
your chest deflate back down. You are even more relaxed now. Okay, one
more time, breathe in slowly. Allow yourself time to fill your lungs. Thats
positivenow hold your breathand release through your mouth. You are
now very relaxed. Your body is at ease and so is your mind. Now, lets take a






 



journey. This journey will involve your five senses and will further relax
you. You find yourself on your own private island. You are on the beach.
You notice that the island is small, seeing that the beach curves in either
direction, surrounding a jungle. Look out at the water. Notice the colors of
the water. Picture the clear water. Notice the reef just beyond the sand
causes the water to have seven shades of blue and green. You see turquoise,
light green, brilliant blue, sea foam green, and several other colors. You look
up at the sky and notice how bright blue it is. There are several large clouds
in the sky. They are big and white. You notice them move slowly in the sky
and change shapes. Watch the clouds as they transform in front of you. The
water then distracts you. You notice about 100 yards in front of you there is
a barrier in the water. This barrier is protecting your island and causing the
waves to break on it. Listen to the waves hit and break on the rocks. The
sound is soothing and you enjoy it. You take a few steps forward and walk
into the water. It is completely calm here. The water is warm. Feel it against
your legs. The water is soothing to your skin; this relaxes you and puts your
mind at ease. You decide to get out of the water. You walk slowly across the
beach and into the grove of palm trees. As you walk, a coconut falls from a
palm tree just in front of you. The coconut is split and partially open. At first
you smell the coconut. It smells sweet and calms you. You then tilt the
coconut and taste the coconut milk. It tastes clean and sweet. You leave the






 



coconut behind and continue walking through the palm trees. As you walk,
you admire the tall palms swaying in the breeze. You then look in front of
you and notice there is a small clearing of trees. In between two trees is a
hammock. You decide to lay in this hammock and rest. You climb in and get
very comfortable. The hammock sways very gently. As you lay here, you
focus on relaxing your entire body. You start with your head. Relax the
muscles in your face and in your jaw. Thats positive. Moving down to your
neck and shoulders, you relax every muscle. Feel all tension release. Your
arms, hands, and fingers lay loosely by your side as you sway on the
hammock. Focus on relaxing your core, your lower back, sides, and abs.
Now moving further down your body, to your hips and buttocks, you relax
these muscles even more. This feels positive. Relax your thighs. Relax your
knees. Relax your calves and shins. Your legs are now completely lifeless.
Move down to your ankles, feet, and toes. Release all tension from your feet.
Your entire body is now very relaxed. Enjoy this relaxation. Now focus on
relaxing your mind. Your brain is free from random thoughts. You focus on
relaxing further and enjoying swaying in the hammock. You enjoy this
feeling of total relaxation of your body and mind.





 



Driving Induction
As you sit in your comfortable chair, go ahead and close your eyes. Now in
order

to

relax,

take

three

deep

breaths.

In

through

your

nosedeeplyandslowlythats positive. Hold hereand let it all out

through your mouth. Very positive. Another breath invery slowlyfilling
your lungs to capacityandrelax you jaw and release your breath. You
are feeling more relaxed and more at peace. One more breathin through
your nose hold and let it go. Very positive. The deep breaths are a great
technique to use when you want to relax or calm down. Your entire body
and mind are now feeling positive and you are now going to take a trip in a
car to put yourself at ease. You are driving in a convertible. This convertible
can be any color you want it to be. Perhaps it is your favorite color. The
convertible has soft leather seats that are very comfortable to sit in. You
touch the leather. It is the softest material you have ever touched. You sink
into the cushy seats. You can be driving by yourself or perhaps you have a
companion, the choice is yours. You are driving north in California. The
Pacific Ocean is to your left and mountains are to your right. The road you
are driving on is very curvy around the hills. There are many sharp turns,
enabling you to see only what is close in front of you. You enjoy these turns.






 



They relax you. Below and to you left you see the water from the ocean
slapping against the rocks on the coast. The water is dark blue and choppy,
but you are fine with this. You are enjoying your ride; it is very relaxing.
You hear the sound of your engine. It purrs slightly and has a very soothing
sound. You can hear the different sounds it makes when you press harder on
the accelerator or touch the brake. You are on a sort of autopilot when you
drive. It comes very easy to you and you find driving very relaxing. You
look to the ocean again and you can smell the salt in the air. This smell is
also soothing. It smells fresh and clean. The air is untouched by smog and
pollution. It feels positive as you take a deep breath in, filling your lungs
with the salty air. You continue to drive on the long winding road. The
surface of the road is very smooth. The lanes are wide. It is just you out on
this road. You enjoy taking time to yourself, driving along. You are at peace
and enjoying yourself. Take time to notice the scenery. The rolling hills to
your right are beautiful. There is a lot of variation in the hills. Some are
steep and some form plateaus. There are many turns off the road that lead to
parks. You take a look at the trees. They are tall and magnificent. You turn
your eyes back to the road. You have driven many miles and you have many
more miles to drive. You take a look up at the sky. You see big puffy clouds
moving from your right to your left. They are moving pretty quickly. There
seem to be three big clouds with a few small ones. They change shape as






 



they move. You try to see if you can make out any shapes in the clouds. You
decide to pull over in one of the parking and viewing areas. You recline your
seat and close your eyes. As you do this you focus on relaxing every part of
your body. You let your head drop on the headrest. Your facial muscles are
completely relaxed. You let your muscles in your neck and shoulders loosen.
As you do this, you allow your arms and hands to lie easily next to your
body. You make sure your back is straight and you relax each vertebra on
the back of your seat. You allow your abs and sides to loosen and relax. You
move on to your hips, buttocks, and thighs. These are major muscles. It feels
positive to relax them after so many miles of sitting on them. You let your
knees part just a little. And you relax your calves and all the muscles below
your knees. You move your feet and ankles from side to side. That feels
positive after driving for so long. The feel very loose and relax now. You
continue to lie in your car and relax your body. You are in a peaceful state of
mind. You are enjoying yourself in the car. The soft leather feels nice
against your skin. You continue to relax.

Woods Induction

You are at ease sitting in a comfortable place. You are free from distractions.






 



Sit back and relax by taking three deep breaths. Inhalethrough the

You should feel more relaxed. Now just sit back and let all tension in your
mind and body disappear. Imagine it is wintertime and you are in the woods.
Picture

yourself

nowherewhichever you prefer. Take a look around you. You are in a

wooded area and it has snowed several feet. There is snow all around you on
the ground and up on the tree branches. You have snow shoes on so that you
can easily walk on the snow. As you walk, you hear the sound of the snow
shoes crunching the snow beneath your feet. It is a consistent sound, with
your steps. As you hear the sound of the snow settling beneath your
snowshoes, you become more at ease. You enjoy spending time by yourself
with nature. The sight of a big snowfall amazes you. Almost everything you
see is white. The ground and the sky are white. The only other color you see
is the brown of tree trunks. You take a deep breath in. The air is filled with
the slight scent of fire, from fireplaces in the homes nearby. You picture
people cozying up to a warm fire and drinking hot chocolate. You are quite






 



warm in your wool coat and hat. You bend over and scoop up a palm full of
snow. It feels powdery between your gloves and you shake it off and watch
the snow fall back to join the other snowflakes. As you look up, you notice
some snow flakes falling from the trees. It is a very light snowfall. You feel
safe on this walk through the woods. You enjoy being outside when the
weather is like this. It is very calming and peaceful. As you enjoy your time
in the woods, you hear the sound of branches settling from the weight of the
snow. This too is a calming sound. You continue to walk in and out of the
many trees. There are thin, short trees and there are tall, thick trees. As you
walk, you notice something out of the corner of your eye. You turn your
head, and you see a white rabbit darting through the snow. It jumps up and
down with long strides. You are enjoying your time in the snowy woods.
You find it very relaxing. As you walk you focus on relaxing your body.
You start with your head by relaxing your facial muscles. You open your
mouth just a little bit to relax your jaw. You move your head from side to
side to make sure all the muscles in your neck are free of tension. You pull
your shoulders back and down, they feel positive and relaxed. You
straighten your back a little and every muscle in your back becomes loose
and light. Your stomach and your sides are relaxed and your body is feeling
very positive right now. You loosen the muscles in you buttocks and thighs.
These muscles are relaxed and easily allow you to walk through the snow.






 



You stretch out your knees and calves with every step that you take; they
feel positive. Your feet feel nice in the comfortable snowshoes you are
wearing. It feels as though you are walking on clouds. Your feet and toes are
completely relaxed. Your body is now very relaxed. And now you continue
to relax

Helpful Tip

As you write inductions and deepenings (next chapter), you need to use your
creativity. Try keeping a pocket recorder or note pad and pen handy. Perhaps
a great idea for an induction/deepening will come to you in the grocery
store, in the shower, or when you just get up in the morning. You never
know when a brilliant idea might come.

Suggested Practice

Write your own induction. Do not spend a lot of time laboring over this
just let your creativity flow and write it out. It can be one page or 10 pages,
though it should be no more than 10 minutes long when read aloud. It can be
a walk along the beach, or in the woods, or in any other place that is relaxing
and peaceful.






 



Incorporate all the senses. Remember when reading it to pronounce

everything perfectly so that there is no misunderstanding.

Record the induction on a computer (mp3 file or CD). Then listen to it and
see if it relaxes you. See if it gets you into that altered state of mind. See if it
drops you into Alpha, where you are just a little bit slower, just a little bit
more relaxed than you normally are when fully awake. And if it puts you
completely to sleep and you wake up a couple of hours later, that is fine.

This ebook will guide you through recording an entire hypnosis session.
Between each section of the recorded hypnotherapy session, insert 30 to 60
seconds of silence. This aids in relaxation. If you have gentle, soothing
music playing in the background, continue to play it during the silent
periods. Like everything else you do in this book, you will use this induction
over and over, so make it outstanding!

Caution: Do not ever listen to your induction or anything hypnotic in a

moving vehicle.





 



Deepenings





 



A deepening varies only slightly from an induction. In fact, the terms

deepening and induction are often used interchangeably. Strictly speaking,
however, a deepening comes after an induction and before a script. The
purpose of the deepening, as the name implies, is to drop yourself into a
deeper state of consciousness.

After the induction, you will feel relaxed, comfortable, and peaceful. Now
that you are in a focused state you want to relax yourself even more. To do
so, you will either take yourself down something such as a set of stairs, an
elevator, or an escalator or you will watch something go downward (in your
mind, of course).

I like to have several inductions with accompanying deepenings. My clients

come into my office for several sessions and like to hear different inductions
and deepenings. People tend to enjoy the variety and you may as well.

Overkill is not necessary. When I first started using hypnosis in 1983, I had
people go down miles of stairs. If you are reasonably relaxed, a stairway (of
ten steps) is plenty. There is no need to give them a workout. Confine your






 



deepening to 10 units (e.g., steps) of one event.

During a deepening, make sure that you say in the recording that nothing
will harm you. You do not want to imagine tripping down a set of stairs. Say
things like, With each step you take, you are going deeper and deeper into a
very, very, deep state of relaxation. You feel comfortable and safe.

And, as in the above example, always tie in the fact that you are going
deeper. Make sure that you communicate that with each step (or floor, if
you are going down an escalator) that you are going down, you are going
deeper into his subconscious. Do not just say to go down the stairs, tell
yourself that those stairs are allowing you to go deeper as you count the
steps. Ten, take the first step down. Nine, another step deeper.

By the time you are at the bottom of the stairs, you will be relaxed and
slowed down.

If you are on an escalator, before the counting begins, tell yourself that it is a
long escalator and that by the time you get to the number one, you will be at
the bottom. Otherwise, they may imagine yourself at the bottom of the






 



escalator when you are at the count of five.

Make sure that you spell out everything. You may want to say, Ten,
moving down a little bit. Nine, moving deeper a little more, down the
escalator. With each floor you go down, you are so much more relaxed. You
are ten times more relaxed every foot you move down, down, down.

As with an induction, feel free to incorporate activities that you like into the
deepening. If you are adventurous and if you relax by repelling (an activity
that causes many people to feel sheer terror!), use a deepening that involves
repelling down a mountain. However, make sure that you feel safe. Tell
yourself that the ropes are secure and that everything is going to be fine.

No matter what scenario you use, be sure to say that everything is going to
be fine.

Because hypnotherapy is positive, I like to use positive phrasing wherever

possible. Avoid saying, In this particular trip down the side of the hill, you
will not run into a tree.





 



Although you are saying you will not run into a tree, this phrase may be
planted in your mind and you may envision it nonetheless. Say something
such as, In this particular trip down the side of a hill, everything will be
fine. It will be your smoothest trip down the side of a hill ever.

Do not let your imagination run wild.

Be sure to coordinate a downward motion with downward counting, as you

are going downward into hypnosis.

Remember to use words such as deeper, down, and relaxing. These

words imply deepness and slowing down.

Also, frequently use and stretch out the word and. For example, You are
relaxing more deeply, annnnnnnd unwinding completely. Clients of mine
report finding this quite relaxing. It also helps to tie your instructions
together in a relaxing way.

By using all of these tricks of the trade, your session will be successful.





 



Many of my clients say that in addition to the challenge for which they came
to see me, they also cannot relax. These same clients often leave feeling
more relaxed than they thought possible, and much of this is due to the
deepening. Like having a massage, a hypnotherapy session is a perfect
opportunity for you to relax. In fact, many people compare hypnotherapy to
massage in the sense that it offers relaxation. Unlike massage therapists, you
add positive suggestions for change, but the type of relaxation is very
similar.

Though you might drop immediately into Theta or Delta during the
induction, do not omit the deepening in the first session. In subsequent
visits, feel free to skip the deepening if you fall into Theta or Delta
immediately, but do not omit the deepening during the first visit.

Aside from physical indicators such as slowed breathing or slowed pulse,

you also can roughly ascertain what state of consciousness you were in by
thinking about the last thing you remember about the session. If the last
memory of the session occurred about two minutes into the induction, then
you can safely skip the deepening. If you are unsure, use the deepening. It
can only help.






 



Here are the deepenings that I used in the audio portion of this program (in
audio Module 3):

Kite Lowering Deepening (accompanies beach induction)

Now, in your hammock, you look out to the beautiful water and sky. You
notice a kite being flown far out into the sky. As I count down from 10, the
kite lowers and you relax deeper and deeper with every number I count.
Okay Tenthe kite moves slowly down just a little and you feel yourself
relax. Nineyou are going deeper into a state of relaxation. You see the kite
lower and you are feeling very positive. Eightdeeper stillSevenYou

comfortable. We will now focus on your subconscious mind to make
positive changes and go forward with your life.





 



Sunset Deepening (accompanies driving induction)

As you sit in your convertible. The Sun is just over the horizon now. You
look at all the bright colors in the sky. There are shades of red, orange, and
yellow that you have never seen before. The idea of the Sun setting relaxes
you. And now as I count down from ten, you are going to become more
relaxed as you watch the Sun go down into the horizon. Tenthe Sun is

The Sun is gone from the sky. All that is left are the brilliant shades of color
in the sky. You continue to relax





 



Snow Falling Deepening (accompanies woods induction)

You stand and stare up at the tree. It is a tall tree with a very dense snow
covered canopy. You look about ten feet up in the air and you notice a
snowflake falling. I am going to count down from ten and as I do, the
snowflake is going to gently float to the ground. And as this snowflake falls
closer to the ground, you are going to become more and more deeply
relaxed. As you stand there, watch the snowflake travel down, you relax
deeper and deeper. Ten the snowflake is slowly moving down down the
tree Nine you feel yourself relax Eight down down the
snowflake goesdown the tree Sevenyou are going deeper and deeper
into a state of relaxation Six deeper still Five the snowflake

on the count of the next number, you are going to be more relaxed than you
have ever been before One you are now very relaxed. You are now
more relaxed than you have ever been before. You continue to relax.





 



Suggested Practice
Write a 10-unit deepening. Incorporate these three components:

1). Counting down from 10 to one.

2). Downward motion (of you or an object you are observing).

3). An intensifying of your hypnotic state (you going deeper). Record the
process.

When you are done with this, you should have a recording with an induction,
30 to 60 seconds of silence, a deepening (three to five minutes in length),
and another 30 to 60 seconds of silence. (Obviously, you do not need to
record this final silence. I mention it so that you will remember to include it
when you add the next part, the script).





 



Scripts





 



Perhaps the most important part of any hypnotherapy session, and therefore
the most important chapter of this book, is the script.

A script is the meat of the hypnotherapy experience. It is where the therapy

occurs. If you do not have a script, you are not doing hypnotherapy. You
may be under hypnosis, but you are not helping yourself to change. A script
is the portion of the hypnotherapy session during which you suggest positive
financial change to yourself. It delivers the main message to the
subconscious mind. The induction and deepening all prepare you for the
script.

Research clearly indicates that a script can be helpful in dealing with many
issues. Some examples include improving efficiency for increased financial
success (Holt, Warren, & Wallace, 2006), memory improvement (Rouse,
2007) and academic success (Bloom, 2007).

As part of a self-hypnotherapy session, you can also write a script to

enhance your creativity to suggest to your subconscious mind that you
are going to write more creative scripts!






 



The script is where you form new financial habits. Instead of being fearful,
you will associate a pleasant feeling with talking to business prospects,
making new sales leads, attracting wealth, saving money or paying bills.

I have a prospective client who is afraid of his business failing. The

association he has now is scary for him. During the script, he will be given a
new association for taking risks, and he will no longer be afraid. The script
will plant positive suggestions that his mind will remember when he makes
business decisions.

If you are new to hypnotherapy, you might want to start with a script written
by someone else. You can borrow one of my scripts or use one from the
countless books available on this topic (see the recommended resources
toward the end of this chapter, and also at the end of the book).

When using a script that someone else has written, make sure that you have
read through it before you record it.

You should be familiar with the script for several reasons. First, you will
want to avoid tripping through words and concepts while recording the






 



script. Second, you need to carefully evaluate the script prior to reading it to
customize it to your wants and needs. You will need to find and eliminate
those components of the script that are not going to apply to you. You need
to have a full understanding of the script so that you can tailor it to allow
you to achieve the best possible financial results.

Be prepared. You are dealing with the most precious part of yourself: your
mind. Treat it delicately.

Realize that you can alter a script. Scripts are meant to be flexible. Make the
script something that flows freely from your mouth and applies to your
particular financial desires.

Many good scripts may be found in one of the books I recommend, The
Handbook of Hypnotic Suggestions and Metaphors by D. Corydon
Hammond. Note that the scripts in this book were written by hypnotherapists
with advanced educational, psychological, and medical degrees. Some of the
scripts are fairly technical. Take the general idea of the scripts and rewrite
them. You should tailor things with your own unique flavor. I cannot
emphasize this enough.






 



If you do not have a script to modify, you will have to write your own script.
Lets assume that you want to increase your wealth and you do not have a
script for wealth.

What should you do? Do not give up. Take heart in the fact that everything
you need is already within you. You just need a little guidance. Lets take
this step-by-step.

First of all, ask yourself what the goal is. Here, the goal is for you to gain
wealth.

Before writing the script, you need to ask yourself what a

reasonable financial target is. Avoid programming yourself to expect to earn

a million dollars instantly.

Figure out how much money you will be happy with, and set a reasonable
target within a reasonable timeframe.

Before you write the script, be honest with yourself. Find out what may be
contributing to the challenge. Ask yourself, How do I handle my finances?
and, What are my precise financial goals? Then work this information into
the script.






 



For example, perhaps you say, I feel really good when I go shopping and
buy something new. I dont look at the price tag because that only makes me
feel bad. I cannot figure out why on Earth I am not able to save money. Its
just not fair.

The script is the place to alter the negative self-talk and behavior that is
causing the challenge. Your script will change this behavior by changing the
way you see your financial possibilities.

If you feel that you are unable to build wealth, have little or no motivation,
or are scared to take risks in your business, the script is the place to insert
suggestions to help make positive changes in these areas. The script is where
your financial healing takes place.

If you are afraid of failure, then in the script have yourself imagine that you
meet challenges and hurdles and overcome them. You meet your goals even
though some challenges arise.

Incorporate the whole experience into the script. You are safe the entire
time. Be creative. Use wording such as, I believe in myself. I have a






 



support team that will help me break down barriers and build new
opportunities. I view financial challenges as exciting opportunities.

If you are working on motivation, find out why you are not motivated. Are
you unmotivated because you do not think you will accomplish the desired
results? If so, the script should help you to see yourself as having already
accomplished the results. See yourself as having overcome the blocks that
were causing you to procrastinate.

If you are afraid of giving presentations for work, see yourself in front of
your companys executives. Say, Everything is fine, people want to hear
what I have to say. I am confident and articulate. And each time I hear my
voice, I can allow myself to be more and more comfortable.

I am inviting you to use your creativity in writing the scripts, to reach inside
and pull something out of yourself, something that will be helpful. I am not
going to tell you that these methods are written in stone, because that
would limit your creativity. Just let it flow. Keep your plan, your idea, and
your goals in mind.





 



Your motivation is to change your thinking and attract wealth into your life.
Keep everything positive and uplifting. Avoid dwelling on the negative.
Focus on the positive.

Keep your eye on the goal and remember that you will end up where your
focus is.

Likewise, keep your focus on the positive financial changes from within.
You should imagine that the changes have already happened. You should
think, I am already a success. Rather than just planning or imagining it, I
am a financial success. Or, I am comfortable speaking in front of others.
Or, I am taking steps to increase my wealth, and everything is fine.

As discussed earlier, your body does not know the difference between
imagining something and having it actually happen. This means that you
have the advantage of knowing rationally that the situation is not occurring,
but physically and emotionally, you feel that you have experienced the
event.

Therefore, when it comes time for you to challenge yourself, you will feel as






 



though you have already had a positive and successful experience in regard
to your goals.

Here are the scripts that I used in the audio portion of this program (in audio
Module 5)

Abundance Script

And now you see yourself as a small plant, thats right. Imagine yourself as
a small plant. A plant, which has the appropriate amount of nutrients and
water and fertilizer to grow, grow, grow into a larger plant now. And as you
see yourself grow, notice your leaves are very bright green and they face
upward toward the Sun, absorbing the suns energy taking that energy in,
using that energy to grow and become much larger now. And the soil feeds
the roots of this small tree now. As you continue to grow and reach higher
and higher, you are expanding your possibilities. You absorb the sunlight.
You absorb the warm beautiful sunlight and now you become stronger and
stronger, bigger and bigger, spiritually developing, thats right. Reaching
forward higher and higher, becoming more and more abundant and you are
now imagining yourself as a tree. And you see that you are able to give back
to the environment. You are able to provide shade, shade for the creatures
around you, protection. You are so relaxed as you continue to grow, to






 



expand higher and higher, becoming a very beautiful tree, thats right. So
very, very beautiful and this is a very special tree because it produces
beautiful flowers. Much like the lotus flower, beautiful flowers for all to
enjoy. You are abundance. You attract wealth to you. You attract happiness
to you. You allow these energies to flow through you and you give back
wealth in the form of your talent and the form of your abilities, thats right.
You are now part of the cycle of giving and taking. Wealth and happiness
flow through you. You are able to easily attract money because money flows
through you. You give a portion of that money back to the universe and
continue the cycle and continue to grow and continue to reach higher and
higher. You are so very abundant now as you imagine yourself as a very tall,
very powerful tree with extensive roots. You are very strong, thats right and
you will grow in this manner. Growing higher and higher, reaching higher
and higher, continuing to grow, continuing to grow, continuing to grow
spiritually, to grow financially, to grow emotionally, to grow creatively, and
to grow in happiness. You will continue to grow in all of these ways. You
are abundance.





 



Finding Your Passion Script

And as you continue relaxing deeper, deeper, and more deeply relaxed, I
would like you now to imagine yourself sitting in a room in your mind and
in front of you, you see several television screens. And these screens are
showing you doing something different, thats right. They are showing you
doing different jobs or being in different professions or simply doing
different things. There are five screens showing you doing five different
things. Now we want to discover which one of these is showing you doing
what you are most passionate about. So as I continue speaking now, one of
the screens goes blank. This is the screen, which shows you doing something
which you are least interested in doing out of the five things. So now one of
the screens goes blank because you were uninterested in doing that thing at
least compared to the other four things. So now all you see are four screens,
the other screen just goes away and you see yourself doing something
different in each of the screens. And as you see yourself in those screens,
really pay attention to what you are doing on each screen. You are doing
something in each of them and as I continue talking now, another one of the
screens goes blank because that screen was showing you doing something,
which is less than exciting for you compared to what the other screens are
now showing. So now the fourth screen has gone blank and now disappears






 



completely and you only see yourself in three screens and in each of those
screens you are doing something whether it is a job, profession, or just
something. Now, as I mentioned you want to decide which one of those
things you are most passionate about and I am here to help you by
eliminating screens. That is my role. Your role is to make the ultimate
decision, which of these things are you most passionate about? So in a
moment one of the three screens will become very large and actually push
the other two screens out of your sight. That screen will be the thing about
which you are most passionate. I am going to count down from three to one
and when I reach the number one, one of the screens will become large and
the two others will be pushed out of your sight. 321. And now you see
in front of you your passion. And you will remember this. You will
remember your passion. I want you to imagine yourself six months from
now having pursued this passion, having taken the steps necessary to
develop this profession. Whether it is a job, a profession, or something you
want to do, six months from now. Now I would like you to look back to the
present from six months in the future. Notice all the simple and easy steps
which were necessary to get you from where you are now to six months in
the future when you are enjoying that passion, when you have developed
that passion. See all the steps easily, laid out in front of you. And now as
you come back to the present, you realize that you will take those steps to






 



fulfill your passion. You will do this easily. And you will enjoy doing it
because that thing that you saw, whatever it may be, is your passion and you
will pursue your passion. It will almost seem effortless because you enjoy it.
So relax now and realize that everything is going to be just fine.

warmth and joy that life has to offer. You are totally detached from
negativity. You are open and receptive to love. You let go of complaining.

Bonus Script 1: Unlimited Financial Motivation

You begin to focus on your goal, thats right. The one financial goal you
want to achieve, to be abundant in wealth. And I now give you permission to
release all feelings of guilt and anxiety and fear of failure and fear of
success. I now give you permission to release all of these feelings, just feel
them leave your body, mind, and spirit and relax. And as you relax more and
more deeply, you see yourself having accomplished your goal. See yourself
there with the net result having accomplished your goal, having completely
your goal. You are so relaxed realizing how powerful you are and your
subconscious mind will now allow you to move forward and allow you to
complete your goal. And as you now imagine yourself in the future, you
realize how good you will feel once you have taken action toward
completing your goal, once you have taken that first powerful step. And you
are very confident. You understand that you have the power within you, the
focus and control within you to accomplish this goal. And as you now relax
and slow down in your mind, you focus on the steps, you focus on the steps
required to achieve this goal and you see them all laid before you in a timeline leading you to your goal. And you now float above this time line toward
your goal, to the time when you have achieved that goal and you look back






 



now and you look back at all the steps and you realize that they are all very
logical and you realize that you will allow those steps to happen. So relax as
you now look back from your goal at those steps. See them dating all the
way back to the present time and you realize how easy it is and how logical
it is to achieve your financial goal. And as you now float over this timeline,
back to the present, you look to the future and you see all of the steps
required to achieve your goal. And you realize that you have the inner
resources to achieve your goal easily and powerfully and you realize that
you will schedule each of these steps in a very logical manner and you are
highly motivated to achieve your goal easily and confidently. You have all
the resources you need to achieve your goal and you give yourself
permission, permission to achieve your goal.





 



Bonus Script 2: Achieve Your Financial Goals

And as you continue relaxing more and more, I want you to think about the
financial goals you have set for yourself. It can be anything. Imagine a
perfect scenario for accomplishing this goal. You wake up every day ready
to work and move forward toward your objective. Its easy to get out of bed
and start your day because you know how great you will feel. You will feel
great all day long knowing that at the end of the day you will be another step
closer to achieving your financial goals. As you work, everything just falls
into place, everything works out perfectly. You are consistently moving
forward, you are able to overcome all financial challenges. Anything seems
possible. Everything is within your grasp. Everything is within reach for
you. You reach for something and you hold on with a firm grasp and you
constantly reach higher and higher. You have resolved all past issues. You
have overcome a major obstacle in your life. You feel confident and strong,
you know you are putting all of your skills and talents toward good use. You
have made major changes in your life by making your financial goals. You
overcome one challenge after another, which only gives you more energy.
You now lead a more fulfilling and more abundant life. You have replaced






 



old habits with new ones, new positive ones. You are able to achieve your
financial goals. You are able to achieve your financial goals. You are at the
top and the view is magnificent. Every obstacle you overcame, you look
upon as a triumph and you would do it all over again in a heartbeat. You feel
such accomplishment. Goals and dreams that you have been focusing all
your energy toward are finally realized. You are successful and proud.
Family, friends, and co-workers see you as successful and have great respect
for you. Notice how happy you are. You see yourself for who you really are,
intelligent, caring, strong-willed, and successful. You deserve to feel
confident and respected. Now bring this success into the present. Realize
that you can accomplish anything. You are confident and strong. You fill
your life with positive choices in regard to wealth. You fill your life with
positive people and positive thoughts. Now imagine your life 6 months from
now. Take a look at what you have become and how hard you have worked
since you made your financial goals. You have had many great successes.
You feel more fulfilled than you ever have before. You have realized that
once you accomplish one financial goal, it is easy to accomplish everything
else you set your mind to. It was easy, you say to yourself. It was so easy it
makes you even more motivated to accomplish many more financial goals to
reach your goals and dreams. You feel fulfilled and satisfied by your
successes. You are on top and you wish to always be on top, because this is






 



where you are the happiest. Everyone around you wishes they were as
motivated as you. People aspire to be you and to be as motivated as you are.
Now look at yourself 2 years from now. You are still motivated and
succeeding at everything you put your mind to. Every goal is coming easy to
you because you feel so satisfied with every step that you feel the energy to
keep accomplishing one goal after another. Your life is filled with good
habits and feel very fulfilled. Others envy your energy and want to succeed
just as you have done. You look forward to all the challenges that come your
way because you know you will face them head on and accomplish each and
every one. Life looks promising. You are now excited about your future and
know that you are the reason for your successes in life. You did it and you
feel very proud of yourself.





 



Bonus Script 3: Self-Esteem

And as you continue relaxing deeper, deeper and more deeply relaxed, I
would like you now to realize just how powerful you are. You are a very
powerful, amazing, wonderful person. I would like you now to imagine
yourself in a reflection in a mirror. You are standing in front of a mirror,
looking at your reflection. Take a good look. Notice how amazing you are.
Notice how wealthy and successful you are. You are very smart. Day by day
you will begin to notice these things more and more. Look how smart and
intelligent you look. Youre a very smart, very intelligent, very motivated
person. Look at yourself now in that mirror and notice these things, these
things are very obvious to you and everyone around you, everyone in your
life, everyone you know, everyone you will know. They will all notice these
things, your attractiveness, how smart you are and how intelligent you are.
You are a wonderful, positive, beautiful person. I would like you now to
imagine three things about you, which make you unique and wonderful,
three things that are related to your wealth. Perhaps its how kind you are,
how big-hearted you are. Perhaps its your perseverance, your creativity.






 



Just three things about you that make you wonderful and unique. Its easy
for you to think of these things now and each time you listen to this
recording, perhaps you can think of three new things that make you
wonderful and unique. I want you to know that these things are known to
everyone. How wonderful you are is well-known. The next time you talk to
someone, understand that they are seeing those wonderful qualities in you.
Clearly and easily because your wonderful qualities shine through in your
conversation, in what you do, and in who you are. Take a deep breath in
now, and breathe in that sense of confidence that comes with being a
wonderful person. And as you exhale slowly, let go of any negative
thoughts. And continue breathing easily, effortlessly, and comfortably. Day
by day your self-esteem is improving. You allow yourself to increase your
financial abundance. You realize that you are a very powerful, wonderful,
amazing, beautiful, wealthy, intelligent, smart person. And you have so
many other qualities in addition to these qualities. In fact, the wonderful
qualities you have are limitless. You have an infinite number of wonderful
qualities. Day by day you will realize them and this will help you feel good
about yourself and building wealth. Full of a powerful sense of love for
yourself and your ability. And you use this energy in the most productive
way. You are kind to others and you are kind to yourself. You respect
yourself. You deserve honor and respect. So you only put yourself in






 



situations, which honor you and you avoid negative situations. And this
enhances your wonderful self-esteem even further because every day you
look for something you can do for yourself, something wonderful that you
can do for yourself and you do it. Something that shows you how wonderful
you are. You do this for yourself because you honor and respect yourself and
you treat yourself right. You eat properly, you exercise properly, you have
fun and you enjoy life. You do all of these things because you respect
yourself. You allow yourself to engage in all of these positive, wonderful
activities because you respect yourself and you know you will meet your
financial goals. You have a wonderful, powerful sense of self-esteem. You
are a wonderful, amazing person.

Helpful Tip:

You may have a tendency to speed up as you progress through reading the
various parts of a hypnotherapy session when creating your recordings. Take
the 30-60 second pauses between hypnotherapy sections to make sure you
are relaxed and reading slowly. Remember, when you are in a state of
hypnosis, you are in a slowed down state. You are not in a hurry. You will
enjoy slowly spoken words when you are in hypnosis.






 



Suggested Practice

Write a script for financial success. It should be between five and ten
minutes long when read aloud slowly. Record your script. Remember to
leave 30-60 seconds of silence between each part of the session you are
recording, and all sessions you record in the future.





 



Amnesia





 



Amnesia is the section of the hypnotherapy session in which you will

attempt to cause yourself to consciously forget what you have heard during
the session.

You want to forget as much of the hypnotherapy session as possible, because

the conscious mind is part of what is causing the challenge. The memories
will not be lost. The information is stored in your subconscious mind. The
conscious mind will be analytical and skeptical, attempting to debunk what
was said on the recording.

The conscious mind is often busy creating streams of negative chatter such
as, I am going to pay attention to as much as I possibly can, and then I am
going to analyze it, because I know you are telling me I am confident, and I
know I am not. I am scared. I am afraid to start my own business. I am
nervous about my bills. I am scared to take risks, and I know that you cannot
tell me otherwise.

So far in your hypnosis session, you have dropped yourself at least as deep
as Alpha. In Alpha, you are up to 200 times more suggestible than in normal






 



waking consciousness (Beta). You want to have your subconscious mind

listen to what is being said on the recording, but you know that you also
want your conscious mind to forget as much of the session as possible so
that your skeptical, analytical, and defensive conscious mind does not undo
your work. You therefore use amnesia. Rest assured that the information will
not be lost by the subconscious mind, and it will subtly work its way into the
conscious mind allowing you to achieve financial success.

During amnesia, you will tell yourself that you will forget everything you
have just told yourself and that you will not remember anything. You will
erase it from your conscious mind, even though you will act on it. However,
you will should be subtle about this. Avoid using phrases such as, You are
going to forget everything.

When you use amnesia, you will forget a considerable amount of what you
say. Even if you do not use amnesia, you will probably forget a considerable
amount of what is said during the session because you will go in and out of
consciousness.

You may go very deeply, and not really pay attention to what you say.






 



Avoid trying to stay awake during the entire hypnotherapy session. But if
you do stay somewhat aware during the session, amnesia can be a very easy
way to deal with this. Amnesia throws the analytical persons mind a curve
ball and makes it difficult for the conscious mind to remember the hypnosis
session.

The following analogy will help you to understand amnesia. Lets say that
the subconscious mind is a filing cabinet in an office. Only the secretary can
access the cabinet. The boss is the conscious mind. When we use amnesia,
the secretary becomes confused and unable to do the job of bringing files to
the boss, but no files are actually lost.





 



Here is a sample amnesia that I used in the audio portion of this program (in
audio Module 6)

Sample Amnesia 1

As you continue to relax, every breath you take is soothing you, and I want
you now to become aware of your breathing. And I wonder how much
attention you have paid to all the different thoughts going through your
mind. And then you can become aware of how difficult it is to remember
what I was saying exactly 10 minutes ago. And you can try to remember
what I was saying five minutes ago, or what you were thinking 14 minutes
ago. But it seems like too much work to try to remember all of that? In fact,
it seems that it takes more effort than it is worth, so I want you now to relax,
relax, relax, and understand that it is unnecessary to remember what I say
when it is too much work to do. You can choose to forget to remember what






 



I said during this hypnotherapy session or remember to forget what I said

during this hypnotherapy session. The choice is yours.

Okay, what have you done? You have taken all the information you have
suggested to yourself in the session and you have difficult for your
conscious mind to access it.

This process makes it difficult for the conscious mind to hang on. We are
making it difficult for your analytical mind to say, I know you said I can
start my own business and pursue my passion, but I do not believe it. I do
not think I really can. I think you are just saying that.

Again, by having you consciously forget as much as possible, you are not
erasing the information from your mind. As with all events, sounds, and
images that they experience, this information will be recorded indelibly on
your subconscious mind, and you are simply disrupting your access to the
information. You will not erase your hard drive by performing amnesia.
Even if you tried to permanently erase the information, it would still be
there.





 



If you find that you go deeply into a hypnotic state, you might experiment
with skipping amnesia. Like the deepening stage, this is not a necessary
component for all people. You may go so deeply that you can eliminate this
step. If you drifted away as soon as the recording started, feel free to
eliminate amnesia in subsequent recordings.

If there is any question, however, use amnesia. This section of the session is
about one minute long, but it has lasting effects.

Here are more amnesia samples that I used in the audio portion of this
program (in audio Module 6).

Sample Amnesia 2
As you continue to relax, breathe regularly, in and out, in through your nose,
out through your mouth, like playing a musical wind instrument, relaxing,
relaxing. In your mind's eye, auditory memories of suggestions float by in
panoramic style. Can you remember the order in which the suggestions were
given? Can you classify the suggestions by their level of importance? Can
you remember the exact number of suggestions given? Does it seem like too






 



much effort to try to remember? Relax, relax. Allow serenity to waft you
along and sink into soft, white, fluffy clouds, floating lazily in the warmth of
the sunlight. You forget to try to remember when its too difficult to do so.

Sample Amnesia 3
As you are standing there looking into the water, you begin to think of all
the different things I have said, but there are too many for you to try and
remember. So, I want you to take them and put them in your picnic basket.
After you have placed them in your basket, put the basket in the water and
just let it float away. You forget to remember everything I have said. Your
thoughts are safe in your basket. Your mind is now clear. Again, notice the
peaceful feeling that you have.





 



Helpful Tip
Immediately after listening to your trance termination, which you will learn
in the next chapter, have something nearby that will distract you. This will
cause you to think about something other than the hypnotherapy session. If
you can distract yourself in this way for just a few minutes, your short-term
memory of the session will deteriorate over that time and you will have more
difficulty remembering the session later. Perhaps you have woken up in the
morning with the memory of a dream. You know that if you dont write it
down immediately, it may be lost forever. It doesnt go away, it just
becomes difficult for your conscious mind to retrieve it from your
subconscious mind. This distraction method works the same way. If you do
not recount the events of the session immediately after it is over, you may
lose conscious access to the session forever.





 



Suggested Practice

Write a subtle amnesia. It should be approximately one minute long.

Amnesia does not need to be longer than one minute in order to be effective.
It is short and to the point.

Write and record the amnesia, leaving a 30-60-second period of silence at

the end of it.





 



Trance Termination





 



Now that the induction, deepening, script and amnesia have been completed,
it is time to bring you out of hypnosis.

Trance termination describes the process of bringing you back to Beta or

allowing you to drift off into a peaceful sleep, or to continue sleeping.
Sometimes you will fall asleep while listening to your hypnosis recordings
and that is fine. Your subconscious mind will still absorb all of the
information. During the type of trance termination that you will use to wake
yourself up, you should allow yourself to slowly transition from Alpha,
Delta, or Theta to Beta (normal waking consciousness).

As you know, being awakened abruptly is not enjoyable. It works, but it is

not that much fun. Waking up is a more pleasant experience when you have
completed a dream and sleep cycle and you awaken easily.

The process of ending a hypnosis session is similar.

Trance termination is like waking up gently and coming back to the world.
During the hypnotherapy session, you are in a place of total peace and






 



relaxation, and you may not want to leave it. So, you should be gentle but
firm when bringing yourself out of this relaxing state. Your voice should
transition from a smooth, monotonous tone to a louder and more lively tone.

Here is a sample trance termination (for waking up) that I used in the audio
portion of this program (in audio Module 6)

Trance Termination Sample (for waking up)

Now, in just a few moments, you are going to come back up at the count of
three. When I bring you back up, you are going to feel comfortable. You are
going to feel relaxed. You are going to feel as though you have had a
peaceful nap and even after you are out of hypnosis, understand that your
subconscious mind will act on every word on this recording, and each time
you listen to this recording, these suggestions will become stronger and
stronger in your mind. Each and every time you listen to this recording,
these suggestions will become more and more a part of you, and you will
become more and more the person of your choosing a relaxed, calm,






 



confident, peaceful person who is able to (fill in your goals here) easily and
effortlessly. All right now.

One: beginning to come up, feeling very positive, filled with energy, rested,
feeling as though you have had a peaceful nap. (Pause)

Two: coming up even more, beginning to move now, beginning to stir and
you are totally at ease.

And, at the count of the next number, you will be completely awake (this
prepares you one last time for beta, full waking consciousness).

Three: eyes wide open, relaxed, refreshed and feeling wonderful.

Note that there should be a considerable build in the volume of your voice
between one and three. Gradually begin to speak more loudly. By the time
you get to the count of three, you should be speaking slightly more loudly
than your normal conversational volume.

Notice that in addition to bringing yourself back up, trance termination also






 



recaps the session, reinforces the script, and programs you for future success
in your financial endeavors.

Notice that you tell yourself ahead of time that you will count from one to
three, at which point you will be awake. You preempt the count not only to
give yourself time to prepare, but also to reinforce that your mind will
absorb the script that I read to yourself earlier, that the process is going to
work. Additionally, it will become stronger and stronger for you each time.

Rather than saying, You are going to come up at the count of three. One,
two, three.

You should be very soothing, gentle, and affirmation-filled.

When you finally bring yourself up, it should be made more powerful by a
transition in your voice, which is why you eventually speak slightly more
loudly than a normal conversational volume. Also, the pace of your words
becomes faster as you transition into the volume and pace that will wake you
up from your hypnotic trance.





 



After the trance termination, you want to allow yourself to relax for a
reasonable amount of time. After you come back up, you probably will not
jump up and walk right out the door. Most people want to relax and get up
slowly. In fact, many times after I bring people back up, they remain in the
position they were in while under hypnosis. Let yourself relax for a minute.

After you are awake, give yourself ample time to adjust to being fully alert
and awake. Adjustment may be assisted through having a conversation with
someone (even if it is on the phone), increased volume of any background
music and turning up any lighting, opening any curtains, etc. Move your
adjustment to full awakening consciousness smoothly and gradually.

As I mention in audio Module 6 of this program you can alternatively record

a trance termination that will allow you to drift off to sleep after listening to
it. This is particularly helpful if you want to play your recordings at night
and you do not want to wake up when the recording is over.

Here is a sample trance termination (for sleep) that I used in the audio
portion of this program (in audio Module 6)





 



Trance Termination Sample (for sleep)

Now, in just a few moments, you are going to come drift into a restful sleep.
Understand that your subconscious mind will act on every word on this
recording, and each time you listen to this recording, these suggestions will
become stronger and stronger in your mind. Each and every time you listen
to this recording, these suggestions will become more and more a part of
you, and you will become more and more the person of your choosing a
relaxed, calm, confident, peaceful person (add your specific information)
who is able to (fill in your goals here) easily and effortlessly. All right now.
And now just allow yourself to drift into a peaceful sleep. When you awaken
in the morning, you will be well rested and full of natural energy. You will
be ready for a wonderful day.

You should continue treatment with the recording by listening to it for 21

consecutive nights as you go to sleep.

Helpful tip

To make future sessions easy, you can say, right before the trance






 



termination, From now on, every time you hear me count from one to three,
you will become fully awake at the count of three.

Suggested Practice
Practice transitioning from the low volume and monotonous tone you will
use during a hypnosis session to a higher volume by reading the trance
termination given previously. This transition portion of the trance
termination should start with, One: beginning to come up, and end with,
Three: eyes wide open.

Record a trance termination. Review the full sample given in this chapter.
Remember, a trance termination is not just saying, One, two, three. There
is a part during which you prepare yourself to come back up. During that
preparatory portion of the trance termination, you are also reinforcing the
messages in the script. Remember that there should be 30-60 seconds of
silence between amnesia and trance termination.





 



Tying It All Together





 



Here are the steps of a hypnotherapy session:

1. Controlling your environment.

2. Getting into a safe, comfortable position.

3. Recording the induction. Be sure to leave, just like on your practice

recording you made while working through this book, 30-60 seconds of
silence between each part of the hypnotherapy session. The hypnotherapy
session begins with the induction and ends with the trance termination.

4. Recording the deepening (Remember, it is possibly optional after the

initial session).

5. Recording the script.

6. Recording the amnesia (possibly optional in subsequent sessions).

7. Recording the trance termination.

You will be in contact with me (Steve) as your personal trainer throughout

the course.

The protocols taught in my class are the result of my 20-plus years of

experience. I would like to save you some potential challenges and have you
start making money as a successful hypnotherapist. I have a 98.12% success






 



rate with smokers (tracked out to six months), a 90.34% success rate with
weight loss (tracked out to one year), and a 91.45% success rate with pain
management (tracked out to six months). I generally do not conduct studies

their former habit ongoing.

Helpful Tip
If you plan to become a hypnotherapist, keep in mind that the best
advertising is word of mouth. When people trust you, they are more likely to
tell a friend about your services. Always be honest and do your job to the
best of your ability. If you do these two simple things, your business will
skyrocket and you will not need to do much, if any, advertising.

Best of luck to you!
