The Two-Minute Self-Hypnosis Technique

By Colin G Smith
Creator of The NLP Toolbox


Psychologists and Doctors used to send their 'impossible' clients to him and in many instances he helped them to turn their lives around. Milton H. Erickson was one of the most successful hypnotherapists in the world and is often referred to as 'the father of modern hypnosis.'


One of the factors that set him apart from other change workers was his strong faith in the vast potential of human beings. He knew that when a person stopped stumbling around with their conscious mind and tapped into the limitless ocean of unconscious resources, people could make wonderful changes.


He used to look at a client and say something like, 'You've tried to solve this problem with your conscious mind and failed utterly. Now is the time to access your unconscious resources in a way that resolves this problem effectively.'


Now you may be wondering just how can you really induce self hypnosis in two minutes!?


Well, one of the common misconceptions about hypnosis is that you have to be able to concentrate and go into a profoundly altered state. This could be done, however what we are really interested in is accessing other areas of our mind (i.e. unconscious resources) so that we can make certain changes giving rise to our chosen outcome.
