Hi all
Just had an interesting meeting with an old friend, turns out hes now a trained hypnotist, (he was going to be a pyscologist) We got to talking about freediving and relaxation/meditation he suggested meditation was just self hypnotism which I guess makes sense, we then got onto the fact I have real trouble relaxing in meditation, so he suggested guided self hypnotism (this could all be bull but give me your opinions) First off I tried a little mp3 on www.self-hypnosis.co.uk for relaxation, appaerntly you have to want and belive it to work (any form of hypnotism) I did this seven minute taster (meant to be start of a course) and man did I relax! I was almost asleep, my eyes were closed but I could open them when I wanted and still tweak the mouse etc on my computer. When it was over I felt a bit like Id just woke up, it was kinda cool and very relaxing. So I went back to my friend, he said its possible to relax immediately at will by self hypnosis but you need to be taught through guided self hypnosis to do it, so I let him do it to me, its all pretty simple lots of key words used as triggers but I have a few more to go and Ill let you know the results
