what

are your experiences with these hypnotic cds? i hear this is a good cd :

http://www.hypnotica.org/. i'm afraid to try out the hypnotic stuff because

i don't want to pass out listening to it and wake up psychotic.

I haven't tried that particular CD,

but do include self-hypnosis in my programming. All hypnosis is actually self-hypnosis, which is just a form of deep

relaxation, and the hypnotist just aids in guiding you into that state. Thanks for the link to that site

TRock.

As for worries about losing self-control, I found this quote about hypnosis myths on the

American Society of Clinical Hypnosis

website:

Myths About Hypnosis
People often fear that being hypnotized will

make them lose control, surrender their will, and result in their being dominated, but a hypnotic state is not the

same thing as gullibility or weakness. Many people base their assumptions about hypnotism on stage acts but fail to

take into account that stage hypnotists screen their volunteers to select those who are cooperative, with possible

exhibitionist tendencies, as well as responsive to hypnosis. Stage acts help create a myth about hypnosis which

discourages people from seeking legitimate hypnotherapy.

Another myth about hypnosis is that people lose

consciousness and have amnesia. A small percentage of subjects, who go into very deep levels of trance will fit this

stereotype and have spontaneous amnesia. The majority of people remember everything that occurs in hypnosis. This is

beneficial, because the most of what we want to accomplish in hypnosis may be done in a medium depth trance, where

people tend to remember everything.

In hypnosis, the patient is not under the control of the hypnotist.

Hypnosis is not something imposed on people, but something they do for themselves. A hypnotist simply serves as a

facilitator to guide them. Holmes, you're welcome.
