Instant Self-Hypnosis while You Write

Instant Self-Hypnosis involves two discoveries that are closely related to one another. In preceding sections, you learned how I discovered a method of becoming hypnotized while you read. This chapter is about another discovery I made that allows you to hypnotize yourself while you write!

How I Accidentally Hypnotized Myself while Writing

The discovery that it is possible to hypnotize yourself while writing actually came to me several days before I discovered hypnotizing your- self while reading. Yet I didn’t realize the implications of either dis- covery until I experienced both.

To say that the discovery I’ll now share with you took place early in my professional career as a hypnotherapist would be an under- statement because it occurred on the evening before my very first paying client was due for her first appointment! Although I had suc- cessfully been hypnotizing friends and colleagues, I was a bit nervous about my abilities with someone who was actually going to hand me cash for the experience. Wanting to do a good job, I decided to write out longhand the entire hypnotherapy session from beginning to end. If that sounds like a peculiar thing to do, you’re right. Most hypnotherapists at the very least repeat the progressive relaxation and induction portions of the session from memory. If they read from any kind of script, it is often only during the therapeutic- suggestion portion of the session. But I was not confident that I would remember everything I needed to say, and I figured that once my client’s eyes were closed, she would never know that the entire session was being read to her from a script. Little did I know that my decision to write the entire hypnotic dialogue would lead me to an intriguing discovery.

As I sat on my comfortable couch in my apartment, I began writ- ing the session’s dialogue on one of those big yellow writing pads. I began with a wonderful progressive-relaxation exercise, one in which the client’s eyes would be closed from the very outset. Then I moved on to a rather simple but effective hypnotic induction—one involving the visualization of going down a stairway. By this time, I found that I was very focused and deeply involved in what I was writing. I felt inspired as I began writing the hypnotic suggestions for her goal.

Originally I thought writing the session might prove a difficult task. Instead, the pen seemed almost to be moving itself as thoughts easily came into my mind and then onto the paper.

At some point as I was writing, I thought I heard someone say my name. Absorbed as I was, I didn’t give it too much thought or atten- tion. Whoever or whatever it was could wait because I was enjoying the task in front of me. I kept on thinking and writing. Some time passed (I don’t know how long), when I thought I heard my name called again. This slightly annoyed me as this time the sound of the voice was more emphatic.
