Can you remember the TV shows in the 90s/early 2000s that would get people up on stage, a hypnotist would swing a pocket watch in front of them and they’d suddenly think they were a chicken? Forget all that nonsense, that’s not what true hypnosis is. Hypnosis can re-wire our subconscious mind, root out negative thought patterns and plant positive ones.
In this article, we’ll look at the benefits of hypnosis and how you can use self-hypnosis to improve various areas of your life.
The best and most cost-effective way to re-wire your brain is by finding hypnosis videos on Youtube or mp3 recordings online. Download them, find a quiet room, close your eyes, and listen to the recording while relaxing your mind and body. The subliminal messaging will interact with your subconscious mind. Through consistency and persistence, you will start to see improvements in whatever area of your life you are focused on.
Hypnosis can be used for:
Overcoming addiction
There are many temptations in the world, and many of us have found ourselves addicted to something in our lives. Whether it be smoking, alcohol or gambling, self-hypnosis is very effective at helping us overcome it.
Relieving anxiety
Listening to a self-hypnosis recording focused on anxiety over a consistent period of time can provide amazing results. The music that accompanies the words is often relaxing and lulls us into a feeling of calm. Combine self-hypnosis with other techniques to relieve and eventually overcome your anxiety.

Getting rid of phobias
I’ve talked to a hypnotist who performs one-to-one sessions and he’s helped people get over a range of phobias. Heights, spiders, you name it. He even helped an elderly lady get over her fear of cats. In the end she ended up getting a cat for herself! This is how powerful re-wiring the subconscious mind through hypnosis can be.
Building confidence
Want to go for that job or promotion but you feel you don’t quite have the confidence yet? A couple of weeks of self-hypnosis and you’ll be running rings around the interviewer. Combine self-hypnosis with listening to some confidence-based affirmations as well and become a force of nature.
Improving sleep
When we have insomnia it becomes normal for our body and mind to stay alert and awake. We must change negative thought patterns in our subconscious which may be preventing us from falling asleep. Sleep should improve when we have a positive attitude towards it and stop worrying about if we’ll fall asleep or not tonight. We have an in depth article on improving sleep here.
Attracting abundance
Negative beliefs in our sub-conscious can stop us attracting money into our lives. We must get rid of these blockages on a sub-conscious level to allow abundance and happiness to flow into our lives. Self-hypnosis is a great tool for this.
