I’ve noticed that I sometimes yawn just before I end my self hypnosis session. What does it mean? Does it mean I wasn’t in a hypnotic sleep in the first place? Thanx!
Those who have learnt hypnotism can only know the meaning of such things. I also doubt how it can develop on its own without our effort. I think hypnotism is also a kind of miracle or magic.
Is it possible to change your model of the world to that of a sociopath? If so what nlp/hypnosis techniques can I use to become more apathetic and emotionless?
Nah, Sounds like some shit you would find out of a elementary school counselor handbook…Try your pathetic psycho analysis again 
So you think its genetic?
I’m not a professional, but I doubt it. Sociopathy is a very deep disorder that often originates from childhood whereas NLP and hypnosis produce a state that could be described as "motivation" rather than changes in personality.
I sweat like crazy and not just cuz i’m nervous- I have all my life. I was wondering if there are any cases actually documented about hypnosis working for this kind of stuff. I really wanna stop taking meds and worrying about this.
I’m not aware of any cases offhand. However hypnotherapy can be used to treat excessive blushing, which to my mind is a bit related as it is the skin doing more of something than it ought to.
Have your doctors found a cause for the sweating? If they aren’t able to, or feel it might have some psychological cause, then hypnotherapy may be able to help.
There are several types of hypnotherapy. The one I recommend in this case is known as hypnoanalysis or analytical hypnotherapy, so you would need to find a therapist who does this speciality. Such therapists probably also do regression therapy (in your life as opposed to past life regressions), if you are having problems finding one.
You have to be over 18 to undergo this therapy (ideally a bit older). As it is to treat a medical condition the therapist will probably need a note from your doctor, but they can discuss that with you when you see them.
I hope you are successful. As you are taking meds, it is essential you get your doctor’s permission before changing dosage or stopping them.
and what is the relation between the two?
Attempting hypnosis, I once went into a state which is similar to dreaming in which my mind wanders rapidly without the guidance of my consciousness. I was wondering whether I was simply drifting off into sleep or whether I was actually in an effective state of hypnosis.
Surfing the web, I also discovered that many of the inductions for hypnosis are similar to those used for meditation and am wondering also how those differ as well.
i recently read an interesting ebook on this, http://freeundergroundhypnosis.tk/
I know you can’t use hypnosis to erase pieces of someones memory but are there other ways that will work. Ways that kind of mess with the mind like hypnosis? I’m doing a project on psychology.
Actually hypnosis may be able to do this. I’ve heard otherwise from many though.
Hi Tyra
For a psych project you’re going to need more than the two line answers you’ll get here.
Hypnosis can be used for amnesia but it isn’t good therapy. For example, if I make a smoker forget that they smoke imagine the scene when their friend offers them a smoke. They decline, insisting they don’t smoke. Their friend says "C’mon, I’ve known you for years and you smoke like a chimney!" You see the confusion that would cause?
So hypno-amnesia tends to be confined to research, and in research you are probably only going to test the efficacy of amnesia in the short-term. Aaron might be right and the effect is only temporary but speaking as a clinical hypnotist with 16 years’ experience and 17,000 inductions under my belt I’m inclined to think it probably could be made permanent. After all, when I cure a phobia I cure it for ever
Best wishes

I have 100$ to drain. I want some books on hypnosis and self hypnosis. I have read all these articles and free ebooks on hypnosis. I am now ready for some good reading material.
100 $ is right price for the power self hypnosis program by igor ledochowski.
i tried it and i recommend it.
Does anyone have any tips or articles on this subject? How deep into self-hypnosis/meditation have you gone? How can I go into a deeper relaxation?
Self-hypnosis and meditation are skills that get better with time, like riding a bicycle. Intuitively, I feel you are pushing yourself a little too much to "go deep." Lighten up around the subject and also remember that you can start with just 5 minutes once or twice a day. When that becomes easy, increase to time to 8 or 10 minutes. Later on, when you are ready, practice more.
In the beginning, it helps to use guided meditations or hypnosis CDs. You can find them cheap on eBay or google for them. Maybe the link the other answerer suggested is good.
Over a thousand years ago, a book was written in India detailing over 100 forms of meditation! What works best for one person may not work so well for someone else. Find a form of meditation that feels right to you. A great book on all these forms of meditation is http://www.amazon.com/Book-Secrets-Keys-Love-Meditation/dp/0312180586/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&s=books&qid=1270623371&sr=8-3.
In general, some people visualize easily and can picture themselves in a relaxing environment. Tibetan Buddhists visualize themselves as forms of the Buddha or other deities.
Some people meditate best by using a sound like a mantra. Other folks are body oriented and can meditate on the breath or other body sensations.
I can’t go into self-hypnosis, except to say it is similar to meditation. It involves physical and mental relaxation and usually focuses on peaceful visual images. Best of luck to you.
EDIT: I recommend the site www.wendi.com for great hypnosis CDs.
I have tried many ways to stop smoking the problem is I do not have much will power. A friend on mine said hypnosis work for his Father so I thought I could give it a go.
Try this site. My son got a free hypnosis stop smoking recording here. He has not used it yet but it sounds very good and the site has lots of other free hypnosis downloads on it.

Good luck!
If you’re not in love with someone, can you be hypnotized into falling in love with them? Also, does it work visa-versa, meaning can hypnosis also help you over a break-up? Thanks for the answers.
As far as I understand, hypnosis can’t make someone do anything they weren’t inclined to do in the first place.
I have been smoking for 39 years. I have quit temporarily over the years but have always ended up smoking again. I really want to quit but I don’t think that I can do it cold turkey. Has anyone out there used hypnosis with any success?
My Mother tried that before,didn’t work.She quit the day she had a heart attack.
