Self Hypnosis Tape

I remember the time I first used self hypnosis following instructions from a marketing book of all things but wish it came with a self hypnosis tape. Yes, tape because back then that's what we had. CDs were not even part of regular use yet. I read in a marketing book that you needed to change the way you "think" and there was a "mental exercise" which I later learned was self hypnosis. But at first it would have been much more helpful to be guided with a self hypnosis tape rather than doing it on my own.

Imagine that self hypnosis is like meditation with a specific intent, more goal oriented. And when you first do this on your own it can be difficult to stop all those thinking thoughts and mind chatter. And I was never instructed it would have been helpful to use a soothing background music tape to calm my mind so I sat there and practiced until I could get into visualizing what it is I had as a goal while getting past all that mind chatter. For some people it's easy without the use of the self hypnosis tape to guide them but for me it wasn't as my mind never seems to slow down. Even if the self hypnosis tape was short enough just to get me started so I could ease into it I could have benefitted. But it worked, I saw changes in my way of thinking and behaving and it led me to want to learn and know more. Then after some years I decided to become certified and here I am. All because of self hypnosis, tape or no tape. I would have never guessed I'd end up in the profession and as a leader in the profession and to think it all started by reading a marketing book back when I was struggling living in a three room apartment. You never know what will lead where and to learn to be open to the direction you are led. Hmmm, maybe there's another self hypnosis tape to create for that; be open to where life leads you.

The way I am referring to a self hypnosis tape in this article is more based on being guided to do self hypnosis for any purpose but there are self hypnosis tapes with specific titles on a variety of topics that will guide a person to their inner ability to achieve their goals. This is what most hypnosis tapes are like, They are created with suggestions for a specific topic that assists someone to reach the associated goal intended on the self hypnosis tape. You have probably heard the most common such as stop smoking or weight loss hypnosis tape for someone to change eating habits to lose weight. There are many to choose from when you look around. So what is it you will change starting today?
