This book presents a safe and powerful method for self-directed im-
provement and personal development. With these proven methods of
self-hypnosis you will discover dynamic control of your mental forces.
By learning how to communicate with the powerful, hidden part of your
mind, you can succeed at anything that depends on your own efforts.
More than just self-hypnosis, this book presents a complete system
of self-communication. You will learn, for example, how to develop very
deep states of relaxation. Deep relaxation gives you powerful resistance
to stress, anxiety, and the negative influences that surround all of us.
You will learn how to develop and use self-hypnosis. These methods
of self-hypnotic induction can be safely and effectively used by anyone.
All you have to do is follow the easy instructions.
You will learn the fascinating methods of autoquestioning. Auto-
questioning gives you direct communication with the subconscious part
of your mind. With this exciting procedure you will learn why you do
what you do (or why you don't do what you would like to), and how to
go about making desired changes.
You will learn how to formulate and apply suggestions. Suggestions
are the programming part of this system. They are the vehicle that will
transport you to whatever level of achievement you want.
In this book you will find specific, detailed instructions for controlling
weight, quitting smoking, achieving a higher income, bettering concen-
tration and memory, improving health, and overcoming shyness. The
methods and techniques of these applications can be generalized to virtually
any other area of self-mastery.
Everything you need to know is here—nothing has been held back.
With this system of self-mastery you will be embarking on an exciting
vii
and rewarding journey, ajourney in quest of your own potential. Whatever
you want to do, you can do it with self-hypnosis.
The systematic approach to self-communication presented here is
unique. It is the culmination of many years of research and experience.
Over the past several years I have taught this method to more than
26,000 people from all walks of life and from every part of the United
States. Many of them have participated in special research projects and
provided invaluable feedback and modifications. Collectively, this is as
much their book as mine, and I want to thank them all.
