Chapter 6: The Hypnotic Script: Creating Suggestions To Achieve Your Goals
The Hypnotic Script: Creating Suggestions For Self-Improvement, Behavior Modification, Health, Healing or Whatever Your Goal Happens To Be.
Please do not take this lesson until the assignment for Lesson 5 is complete.
N ow is the time to think about your goal and the actions that it will take to attain your goal. You have now walked down the steps. Next, please choose where you would like to be once you are at the bottom of the steps.
Where is your favorite place? Where is the place you feel most relaxed and most comfortable in the world.
For me it is on the white sand beach of a tiny little deserted island off the coast of Venezuela. When I do self-hypnosis I mentally go there and experience the sights, the sounds, the colors, the texture of the sand, the feeling of the warm water, gentle breeze, and rays of the sun.
I smell the salt air and the sweet fragrance of the tropical flowers. I hear the gentle waves, the palms gently rustling, and the seagulls off in the distance. I mentally put a few drops of salt water on my tongue and experience the island even more.
You can choose a place you’ve been to before or make one up.
Give yourself suggestions for one goal at a time. Write your suggestions as though you have them already.
Here is a technique that is very useful.
First write down a statement about what you don’t want. Then re-write the statement in positive terms as though you already have what you want.
Let’s say you have a fear of public speaking, and who doesn’t?
Here is a portion of a letter I received from a client who wanted me to create a custom hypnosis program for him so he could “get through” a presentation that his company required.
“When I speak at the meeting I don’t want to be nervous. I don’t want to have a dry mouth. I don’t want to tremble and shake. I don’t want to bounce around on one foot then the other. I don’t want to forget what I am going to say. I don’t want to seem unprofessional. I don’t want to slouch. I don’t want to hyperventilate. I don’t want to look at my notes too much. I don’t want people to know how afraid I am. I don’t want to feel bad after its over because I completely screwed up like the last time.”
Here is the same script re-written in positive terms:
“From now on I really enjoy public speaking and look forward to making presentations. When I speak I am relaxed and confident. My legs are strong beneath me. I stand tall and proud. My mouth is moist. My lips are flexible. My breathing is deep and from the diaphragm. I look at the audience members when I speak and project confidence and professionalism. I speak with a full release of my knowledge and skill. When the meeting is over I feel happy and gratified.”
Notice that every word in the re-written script is in the first person, present tense and positive.
If you need help with this send me your version of the behavior modification, I will continue to guide you until we decide that the script is perfect for your individual goal.
Once the script is complete, you can decide if you are ready to make you own tape or CD or if you prefer me to make it for you. I can use the script you created and make a professional CD for you…at an additional cost.
Chapter 7: The Hypnotic Script: Awakening
There has never been a documented case of a person who didn’t awaken from hypnosis. The worst that can happen is that you fall asleep and then awaken after you’ve had some needed sleep.
It is a good idea to tell yourself how you want to feel after you awaken...called a post-hypnotic suggestion...then have a specific technique for awakening that you use every time you go into self-hypnosis.
How do you want to feel when you awaken? How do you want to feel physically? How do you want to feel emotionally? How do you want your body to feel?
Create an actual script for awakening. Here is a typical script:
“When I awaken I am going to feel relaxed, happy, cheerful and in a positive frame of mind. I will feel fully refreshed. My body will feel energized and healthy. My eyes will be clear and sparkling...as though I just bathed them in pure clean spring water.
I will follow every suggestion I gave myself during self-hypnosis. AND NEXT TIME IT WILL BE EVEN EASIER FOR ME TO GO INTO HYPNOSIS AND I WILL GO DEEPER.”
Then awaken yourself by counting from one to five.
“One. I am awakening now and I’ll be fully awake on the number five.”
Two. I am coming up higher and higher.
Three. I feel relaxed, happy and cheerful.
Four. On the next number my eyes will open and I will be fully awake.
Five. Eyes open. Wide awake!”
You now have the full Self-Hypnosis Course including a script and you can go to work to create a blueprint for the life you want to create for yourself. Thank you for allowing me to be a part of your journey. Self-hypnosis takes practice, but with consistent effort you'll find that you can achieve a very deep state of self-hypnosis in a few minutes.
The key is twofold. First you create physical and mental relaxation with suggestions, words, phrases and banter that takes you into hypnosis. Then...once you are into hypnosis...you give yourself suggestions about the improvements you desire to make in your life.
If you have questions or suggestions about the course please email me at ken@kennethgrossman.com and I will be happy to respond. Also, let me know about typos and other errors and omissions. This is a work in progress and a labor of love.
If you would like to have me create a custom hypnosis program for you please let me know your requirements. If you have one of our programs for smoking, stress, weight loss, pain management and golf improvement and want to discuss it please contact us.
