Audio Cassette Tape

(This is an informationtape. That is, it gives you how-to instruction and training. Proceduretapes are the other kind; they actually lead you through a procedure or practice.)

Hypnosis without suggestion is just meditation.
The purpose of developing a hypnotic state is to prepare your subconscious mind to receive instructions. The instruction you give your subconscious mind is called "suggestion." Several instructions would be several "suggestions."
You must make use of suggestion to get the most out of hypnosis, or self hypnosis. And not just any old suggestions will do. It is best to formulate and apply suggestions that are tailored specifically for you and your subconscious needs. And your suggestions must conform to the ways the subconscious mind works.
Correct, effective suggestion formulation and application is pretty easy once you know a handful of ground rules.
But don't try it without knowing the rules. That can actually make things worse!
