Self-Hypnosis - The Power of the Subconscious Mind

Ask a group of a hundred people about self-hypnosis and you are likely to get a hundred different responses. Some will have experience with it and know it works, others will chalk the whole idea up to gimmicks of bad stage magicians. The truth of the matter lies somewhere in all the different answers you get. One of the reasons for all the different answers is that people react differently to self-hypnosis. One thing is certain though, for those who know how to do it, it is the key to unlocking the power of the subconscious mind.
Self-hypnosis can help with a whole list of different troubles people have in their everyday lives. Things like low self-esteem, low self-confidence, breaking of bad habits like smoking and nail biting, even to changing apects of a person's personality are all within the possibilities that can happen with self-hypnosis.
The subconscious part of our minds is much more powerful than most people realize. Self-hypnosis is nothing more than the awakening and strengthening of the subconscious mind and allowing it to do what it does best, handle the day to day routines in our lives. Driving a car for most people has become part of their subconscious mind, but it was not there in the beginning. When learning to drive, most people are nervous wrecks while trying to master gas pedals, brake pedals, negotiating turns and remembering to signal. Add in a clutch and the nerves just skyrocketed. But, with practice, driving becomes routine and we can do it basically on "auto-pilot" without much more conscious thought than where we want to go. This is because the mechanics of driving have entered our subconscious minds through repitition. Self-hypnosis allows you to enter other things, at will, into your subconscious mind the same way, through repitition.
Just as driving is a skill that needs to be learned and practiced to get good at, so is self-hypnosis. There are techniques that need to be learned, and the more you practice them the more effective your efforts will become. Self-hypnosis is the means of letting your conscious and subconscious minds communicate with each other on demand. Your subconscious mind can only be reached when you are relaxed and the conscious mind takes a back seat. Once it is awakened, you can then bring the powers of our subconsious mind to bear on whatever task we want.
Through self-hypnosis, people have been able to successfully kick bad habits, become a more assertive and confident person, instill a positive self image, and boost their performance on tests or in sports. All of this is possible by letting the subconscious mind work on the suggestions it is given during self-hypnosis sessions. It is thought that the average person only utilizes about ten percent of the power in the subconscious mind. Self-hypnosis allows people to unlock and use the remaining ninety percent to improve their lives.
