Only if you believe the disinformation campaign where stuff like this was orginially published.  Fact is that this cannot be done.  Just won't happen.  University study after University study has shown that you can't control people with hypnosis.  Makes for good TV and fanatasies but not reality.

I "played around" with self-hypnosis over 30 years ago, and I also compiled the curriculum for a hypnotherapy school a friend opened a few years ago; and yes, you can "forget" something with self-hypnosis; but it's not truly fogotten, only repressed.  Repressed memories can really wreak havoc with your life, so I cannot recommend using self-hypnosis or the services of a qualified hypnotherapist in this situation. \n\nYour best course of action is to find someone you truly trust.  This could be a minister, a friend, a doctor, or a mental health professional.  I am offering my  ear and shoulder if need be (I'm an ordained minister, healer, and medium); but we would need to write back and forth a few times in order to establish the bond you need before I would want you to even THINK about sharing with me as great a secret as you're evidently carrying.  Naturally, anything we communicate about would be held in the strictest confidence.

Read it outloud in a mirror for a while, while recording yourself. Practice outloud to your friends and other things. Then at night play the recordings over and over while you sleep. It's a good way to learn anything. Good Luck! ;]

Try 'about.com'. They don't give out certificate's but they are a mine of information.\nI first heard of them from my Pyschology lecturer, and they were a good resource for studying that but once my homework was over I signed up for free e-mails courses in a variety of subjects.\nI chose 'aromatherapy' 'wiccan' 'buddhism' and 'English Literature' - but that's they kinda thing I'm into I am sure they would have something to suit your interests.\nAnd if you get bored of it you can always go back to the site and cancell the e-mails.\nGood Luck!

Hmmm.  Taking a CLASS with a room full of other people would be a definite "experience"  I think I'd be too self-conscious to get the most out of it, but I'd certainly TRY it.  None of us is born a great lover....you have to BECOME a great lover- and the only way to do that, is to learn.

I would highly recommend a 10-day vipassana meditation course (http://www.dhamma.org/vipassan.htm... ) if you can get the time off. I think it's definitely worth it, so keep it in mind.\n\nIt's very intense, over 10 hours of meditation a day for 10 days, complete silence (except with the teachers), and guidance instructions basically broken up into hour-chunks. It might seem intimidating but it's very doable and you just need to have the intention to do it.\n\nAlso it's non-sectarian, anyone can practice it, and it's free from any dogma, blind belief, etc.\n\nAlso (again) the courses are free, by donation only, and no recommended or forced donation. Even the room and board are provided, because past students have found it to be beneficial so it's supported entirely by donation.\n\nVery intense but since it's so rigorous most people see distinct benefits after only 10 days.

I've read a ton of books on the subject, that was quite a few years ago so I don't know what to recommend.  I had quite an experience that has stayed with me ever since that's too long to talk about here, but it was convincing enough, and I'm not prone to falling for supernatural explanations to explain what I don't understand.\n\nIn a nutshell, you need to be very relaxed and not in a place you can be distracted.  A breathing excercise helps, I use the "breath in to count of three, hold for four, breath out for 5" routine.  Get as relaxed as possible and concentrate on raising yourself up out of your body.  If you can concentrate easily it takes less tries of course, but you will actually feel it happen.  Whether that's a dream or not I don't know.  When you get to that point pick a place in the house to go to and concentrate on going there.  It's really simple, and doesn't take a great deal of effort.  This is the stage I was able to achieve, around 1986, when I stopped and never did it again.  Nothing really scary, I guess it just convinced me enough and I left it at that.\n\nGood luck.

I would suggest you check out FAQ page of alt.hypnosis.  Wouldn't go to the group but instead you can find them on http://www.royhunter.com/hypnofaq.htm.  Roy Hunter is a very knowledgeable guy.  \n\nHypnosis can be a great tool for many situations.  Yes, it helps.  Yes, it is about the subconscious mind.  Check out the FAQ

I have a therapist friend who does hypnotherapy and he often discusses the positive outcomes of the treatment... I was shocked that some of the things treated, namely chronic pain issues, that resulted in highly successful outcomes. I say go for it! Living with a phobia is not easy...there are several methods of treatment with hypnotherapy and flooding being only two of them. Meaning if one doesnt work, dont give up...Good luck and take care!

Hypnotism is a relaxation method through suggestion. The first step of any hypnosis is to relax the physical body and the mind, to slowly remove extraneous thoughts one at a time and to relax the body until it is no longer a concern of the mind.\n\nThis also has the effect of striiping away the barriers we put up in our concious lives. These barriers are very necessary for the amount of information the human mind must perceive every day and process is staggering. But when this wall against the information is removed, the access to what is inside is much greater. This is your hypnotic state.\n\nIn this state, without your inner mind telling you what is appropriate, or logical or right or wrong, it is far easier to be convinced of things we would not normally do. Fore instance pretend we are the opposite sex, or "remember" past lives.\n\nImportant to note, it is NOT possible to hypnotise someone who isn't able to, or willing to give up this intellectual control they have around them. You can not simpley tell a person to be hypnotized, you must suggest it and hope they do so.\n\nStudies on the subject are inconclusive. Partly this is because most information learned while hypnotized can be false. Many past life regressionists have been labeled charlotans as we have found that most of the memories these people catalogue can be duplicated by the therapist leading, suggesting or creating the memory in the session.\n\nYou can learn the methods of hypnotism easily enough, but there is no guarantee that your subject will become so, or that what you discover will be truthful.

for me, you need to take control of your life. find something that you like to do. don't stress yourself out. take time for yourself. focus on what you want. talk to someone. release the tension. for me i do hypnotheraphy and it helps alot.

I've heard of hypnosis as working before. Another way is to just quit cold turkey. You have to be determined to quit.
