S.E.E.D. OF PERSONAL POWER
To become competent at self-hypnosis, you must "practice, practice, practice" the skill of self-hypnosis, specifically in an individualized manner. This requires learning to tailor the techniques to your own experience. It also means that you can use the practice of the skills to learn the information and techniques.
One of the important aspects of practice is to assist in making the transition from doing something "linearly" as a new skill that requires full concentration to doing something "intuitively" which becomes automatic, and allows the individual to concentrate on what's going on around them.
Stage hypnotism is a performance whereby the hypnotist has an opportunity to select the people who appears to be most likely to "put on a good show" or to comply with the commands the hypnotist presents. The objective is to entertain the audience, and it really doesn't matter if a person is really in trance or not... as long as they act like they are.
Clinical hypnosis is a dynamic whereby a hypnotherapist facilitates or guides a client to develop a trance, but the client is in control. In this trance state, one's focus of attention is such that suggestions appear to be accepted directly by the subconscious, without the filter of the conscious mind. This allows a client to control areas not normally under his or her control.
The "Svengali Effect" is the concept that someone can be made to do something against his or her will. Although it is never a good idea to allow an unqualified person to hypnotize you, it's been shown that you will only do under hypnotism that which is within your fundamental interests. In fact, if pressed to do something outside of those "fundamental interests" a subject will either ignore the command or come out of the trance.
Hypnosis is a naturally occurring state that, with practice, can be used to create change. Facilitating hypnosis means being aware of that naturally occurring state and developing the skills to enhance that state and create change on purpose and with intention. This is the process of becoming a hypnotist.
"A posthypnotic suggestion is a suggestion given while the client is in a hypnotic state, for an action or other response to take place after the hypnotic experience."
"A posthypnotic cue is any action, thought, words, image, or event that initiate or trigger a posthypnotic suggestion response outside the trance."
Posthypnotic suggestions and cues are extensions to your self-hypnosis work. They allow you to work on your behavior or responses when out of trance. They expand and deepen the effects of the self-hypnosis by stimulating the desired behavior or response in your normal activities.
Posthypnotic suggestions are a critical part of successful hypnosis because they bring the work done in hypnosis into a non-trance state. Posthypnotic cues are the means by which posthypnotic suggestions are stimulated while in the non-trance state.
Posthypnotic cues and posthypnotic suggestions are not necessarily positive in nature. Sometimes they are negative and reinforce negative programming. For example: Plagiarism usually stems from a feeling of incompetency in writing. Each time the anxiety of writing leads to plagiarism, it stimulates the negative self-hypnosis suggestion of incompetency, and the stronger that feeling of incompetency becomes.
As that feeling of incompetency gets stronger, the need to plagiarize also becomes stronger, creating a negative cycle.
