If you have tried hypnosis cds before with limited results, know this:

Resistance to hypnosis sessions or recordings can cause reversals, holding back, hold ons, and may SHIELD you from the immense benefits that can be obtained by hypnosis. Many of us have a resistance to authority. How many times have you thought, "S/he's not going to tell me what to do?" Or, "I'm smarter than s/he is, I'm going to do it MY way". And, most of us have fear of change, even when outwardly we demand and cry for change. There may still be that tiny bit of nervousness of the unknown that change brings with it. And not to mention the fears associated with hypnosis itself, such as the fear of losing control. This isn’t a bad trait in most of life, but it sure is when it comes to a hypnosis session. Resistance when attempting change through hypnosis can diminish your results. CINDY’S NOTE: As a person who resists authority, I had a hard time doing what the cd suggested. I would fight the speaker all along the way. At the very first of the cd, I’d not be relaxed, but still getting myself into the chair, taking care of business and such. I always figured I was better at this than the average person and didn’t need all this preliminary work. Inside I felt that defiance of “you’re not going to tell me what to do”. During the patter, I’d be acutely aware of any mistakes he made, things that were not said perfectly, or any visualization that was not 100% clear and have an ongoing judgment in my mind about it. I then did the steps below and went much more deeply relaxed. My usual body aches went away, until I heard the cd skip. That brought a tiny bit of fear into me, (“oh no, the tape is getting damaged….”) and I came out of the hypnosis a bit. My body ache came back and I didn’t go back down as deeply after that. It was amazing to see the difference in my level of relaxation. With resistance and/or fear, I didn’t go nearly as deep. Once I realized the resistance or fear and resolved it, the hypnosis session became much more effective. My biggest resistance was the fear of change. Even though I thought I wanted change desperately, a part of me was afraid of not knowing what I would change into. I heard myself thinking, “Yes, but how I am now, I’m still alive and surviving. If I change I may not survive.” Amazing what our minds come up with! Pick any good, solid and well recommended standard hypnosis recording. Get ready in a comfortable, undisturbed situation with your player at your fingertips. For this first time, we will use the speakers instead of headphones. This makes it easier to stay up (out of trance) enough to do the necessary work if you are by yourself. Hold the CD in your hand and consider if you have any resistance to this cd. Do you have any bad feelings about the process, any anxiety or nervousness? If you have even the slightest resistance, have a conversation with yourself about this resistant energy. If there is emotion associated with the conversation, allow that emotion to come up and be expressed fully. Listen to your body carefully and do not proceed until you feel totally okay about the energy of the cd. If necessary, repeat this with the cover of the cd, the hypnotherapist's name, picture or logo. Note if there specifically is a distinct difference in energy between the tape itself and the hypnotherapist in question. Please remember that what you are feeling is ONLY RESISTANT ENERGY. It can not hurt you. This cd was made for the sole purpose of helping you and for no other reason. When the energy flows cleanly and freely through your system, you may move on to the next step. Now put the CD into the player and turn it on. Pay close attention to how you are responding to the music, sounds, the hypnotherapist's voice. If there is any resistance or fear, work that through until the energy flows cleanly and freely. Then watch yourself through the introduction, and the experience of the session. If you feel any pain, discomfort or recoil response, stop the tape and take time to talk it out, shake it off, do some self-healing, and by remembering that "this is only energy – smooth it out". Now, simply continue and listen to the instructions the hypnotherapist is giving you. Do what he says when he says it, such as closing your eyes, relaxing or drifting off. If you are finding difficulties with any one of the instructions, stop the tape. After each treatment, rewind the tape to TEST IF YOU ARE NOW CLEAR OF THE RESISTANCE of the instruction given, the wording, the tone of voice, or any other aspect. By now, you will be having a very different attitude to the whole experience and you might well be ready to start from the beginning and do this for real. If so, go right ahead. If you are not ready, take your time. Go through each resistance until it is totally gone. This is a very important learning process for you and will unlock potentially ALL THE BENEFITS OF ANY HYPNOSIS RECORDING ever produced. This is certainly time well spent! Now that you have eliminated all resistance, start over and go into the process anew. What you will find is that now you have a sense of lucidity and control that was previously absent, and that the experience of trance is quite unlike anything you used to experience when you were still suffering from blockages and reversals. What is even better is that should at any time throughout the hypnotic journey further problems in your energy system come to your attention, you have the added power of the lucid trance state to move energy swiftly and in real time, as it is happening in response to what the speaker is saying. As such, you are experiencing and co-creating benefits with the hypnotist which is way beyond what any resistant person could possibly get to. And a simple, everyday hypnosis tape can become a profound tool of personal healing and growth to you. And of course, the whole wonderful world of hypnotic phenomena will become available to you with a little extra practice.
