There are two ways to approach practicing self-hypnosis.  Some will feel more comfortable getting as much background knowledge as possible before practicing self-hypnosis.  Others will likely prefer to skip all the reading and just do it.  Of course, you get to decide which option is best suited for you.  Many people have success with hypnosis while knowing little or nothing about it while others feel more comfortable by gathering as much knowledge as they can.  

For those who are looking for the quick, easy route, I still suggest reading the Keys to Mastery For the Self-Hypnotist page which helps give you a clear understanding of what it takes to succeed with hypnosis.  Then you can mimic one of our free scripts or simply use affirmations along with a visualization.  Then head to our Free Self-Hypnosis Induction Audio page, and you're ready to go.

And for those looking for a more comprehensive experience, there's plenty of reading material provided in the Hypnosis Info section.  This should give you a solid understanding of hypnosis and how it works.  We also recommend reading a few good books about hypnosis to help broaden your understanding.   

Once you have a solid understanding of hypnosis, you’re ready to get started.  This tutorial will help guide you through the process of creating your own hypnosis script and help prepare you for your first self-hypnosis session.  As we guide you through each step, we’ll actually create a sample script to give you an idea of how to create your own script.  The script created here is a short script--short scripts are more appropriate for self-hypnosis.  Ready?  Let’s get started.
