Any questions about self hypnosis?
[Back]
Any questions about hypnosis, ask away.I have a question.. :D
Hypnosis is a broad field..it has very many aspects so the question is general.
What are your thoughts about protection..?
Do you recognise that some subjects of hypnosis..(especially those who practice self hypnosis)..need protection?
I answer a question with a question..but altered conciousness is altered in such a way as to allow people (especially those who have spiritual paths..as me)..to be receptive to spiritual energies..good and bad..positive and negative.
I am not concerned towards promoting connection with Spirit with this post..I am concerned that protecton is recognised as a protocol..and I dont know that it is... (Quest)
Hiya Quest :D
I don't feel protection is needed.
If you deeply relax and go into your own world say having a deep massage or going into the deepest of meditation you don't need to protect yourself.
Relaxation is a calming release (charles vald)My feeling is that protection is not only important but vital when interacting with the subconscious mind and spiritual matters in any form.
I am currently training to be a Reflexologist, one of the first things we have learnt is to protect ourselves and clients . . . shielding the practitioner from taking onboard a clients pain or released emotions . . . protecting both client and practitioner from the influence of outside energies . . . protection is a matter of routine whether administering a treatment for relaxation or for healing.
It is but a short visualisation but is something that I feel is key to safety.
Please keep safe out there! :D (Blue Fairy)
Charles..:)
I know many people agree with you ....
I am not one however..and Blue Fairy gives fully correctly.
I suppose to a large degree it is a matter of choice..to protect or not..but for the effort needed..which is very little..and the protection afforded..it is wise to be safe.
You may or may not be aware..however deep relaxation and meditation can open anyone to energies from other realms...
We all carry our own Truth and our own direct experience..what I have found is mine..and what you find is yours.
I have seen a great deal and been shown a great deal by Spirit..
I adopt the principle of protection and and I feel it is very very important..
I feel we need to be safe in all relaxation..meditation and 'alternative' healing practices..
Lets keep things as safe as we can.... .. :) :)
:D (Quest)I do agree with you in that when I am deeply relaxed or with a patient.
That there is lovely relaxed healing energy feeling and after the session the patient feel very calm, relaxed, re-energised.
Of course when seeing a patient there does need to be some detatchment from their emotions and your means seem to be as good if not better than others.
Charles (charles vald)
As charlie says many times on his web page and CDs. Self Hypnosis is similar to falling asleep. It's the state between awake and asleep. I guess if you feel the need for protection when going to sleep then it would be a good idea when practising SH.
As someone said we all experience our own truths. This makes it hard for practitioners who could turn some people off by suggesting the idea of protection to someone who does not believe such a thing is needed.
I guess those who believe will do it automatically, those who don't need to discover their own truths.
It's an interesting question and definitely one to think on. (rachael)Rachel..
I am a Reiki practioner and when I treat a client I bring protection to myself and also the client..
Blue Fairy indicates she does the same for herself and her client when she practices reflexology..there is no need to inform and possibly alarm the subject.
Self hypnosis/adminsitered hypnosis/medi/entering into altered concious state requires protection...and of course not everyone will agree or do this. My feeling is that entering this state of conciousness is as safe as falling asleep if properly protected ..
I do protect before going to sleep...and know I am far from alone in this in that many who have psychic gifts do the same..for sleep state is a portal.
I do accept that many people may not feel the need for protection and may never find any worrying experience..however some will..and to protect takes but a moment..it is a simplistic analagy but it is a bit like wearing a seat belt in a car! :) (Quest)I agree that protection is a matter of personal preference . . .
. . . I fully respect that others may feel differently, of course we all take what feels right for us . . . it is my way to protect and this is borne out of experience and learning . . .
If it would be seen as useful, I would be more than happy to post a few examples of how to protect? . . . it would then be up to individual freedom of choice as to whether a person chooses to protect or not.
:D Blue Fairy x (Blue Fairy)Hi there I am new to the boards and it has taken a lot of courage for me to join. But I am left with no other way to get free from pain. So I have taken the bull by the horns and thought I will try this out. May I just say I am not new to this as I have had a rather bad encounter with someone who pretended to do good through hypnosis only to try and break my marriage and my life apart. As for protecting, I would love to learn how this works. I think if I had have know this years back I could have stopped evil entering my home. I do think we have to understand that once we are dealing with hypnosis you can be on a thin line of letting evil cross over without knowing it. I hope I am not putting anyone of but I do feel that we should always make sure the door is closed to those we don't want to pass over when we are in this state of mind. We need to make sure that it is good that is we are doing not bad. I would love to know how to protect myself if it is only for my peace of mind. Can you please let me know how to do this.
Thank you
SUMMER (Summer)Hello Summer
As you may have gathered from my previous posts I am very much for protection . . . I respect that many are not . . . but, like you, the need to protect has arisen through experience . . .
Firstly, I know that for you to join this forum and to post up about your experience took great courage . . . well done honey :D
There are many ways to protect . . .
Visualisation techniques will afford good protection . . . it will just be a matter of finding something that feels correct for you . . . a good starting point would be to put yourself into a bubble and fill this with white light . . . white light offers great protection and unconditional love . . . great safety . . . you can refresh this visualisation when you feel the need . . . and bounce around in your bubble all day deflecting any negativity! :D
If you are drawn to use another colour, listen to your intuition and go with this as all rays contain different beneficial properties . . . this works for loved ones also . . . just picture them within similar bubbles also.
Prayer . . . I do not follow any particular religion and until I had a ‘dark’ experience, I had not prayed since childhood . . . I found comfort in prayer and just with my hands together and eyes closed I felt protected . . . you can word the prayer however you like . . . trust that your prayer will be answered . . . for the greater good of all concerned.
Smudging . . . this ancient form of cleansing the aura and the home is very powerful . . .
If you would like further details please let me know, there are many other visualisations, there are crystals with protective properties, as have many essential oils and I can give a step-by-step guide on how to smudge if you would find this helpful.
Summer, please do not feel you are alone in this . . . you have been guided to those who can help you . . . trust that you will be free from pain . . . free from fear.
With much Love to you
Blue Fairy x (Blue Fairy)Hi Summer,
I understand how hard it is to post about a negative experience, so thank you for posting. Blue Fairy has given you some good exercises for protection. I'm sorry you have found someone unethical in their dealings with you.
I can say that Charlie's hypnosis CDs teaches you the art of self hypnosis and wont intrude on areas of life you don't want it to. It is also easy to incorporate protection with the CD by imagining the white light covering your body as the voice on the CD tells you to relax various body parts.
I hope you find a way to manage your pain.
Rachael (Charlie's wife) (rachael)Hi Summer..
I am very much in favour of protection and use it as a matter of course.
Here are a couple of links that may give you some more information...
http://s10.invisionfree.com/Holistic_Haven/index.php?s=d7a516d1f21c0a4c84d7e58f27ce71f2&showforum=39
http://www.ra-chi.com (Quest)I must admit that I've read this thread with fascination, intrigue and scepticism in equal measure. I've also clicked on Quest's links above.
I think I understand the principle, but who/what exactly is it that you are protecting from and what can happen if you are unprotected ? Does it work along the same lines as pins in an effigy ?
I have been told that I am very easy to hypnotise and I generally like to keep an open mind on concepts which are new to me.
Thanks. (rosencrantz)I would like to thank you all for your help. It has put my mind at ease. I have just bought Charles cd and hope that it will help me with my pain. I also would like to say knowing you can protect yourself has put my mind at ease. I for one will feel a lot better for doing so. But I can understand how some people do not feel the need to do this. But to be honest if I had have done this years back it would have saved a lot of hurt and evil coming into my life. Things had got so bad in my home that pictures were falling of the walls. Well I won't go into it in a big way beacause it is something I would like to think is well in the past. I know it is hard for those who have never encountered this first hand but I can tell you it makes you think about God. I know I never was good at praying but it changed that for me. So once again thanks for all your help.
SUMMER :D (Summer)Rosencrantz.. :)
Summer gives indication and it is good not to give too much energy to what she found..for it is not useful to to build fear.
This site is about well being and it is a good positive site with intent to help and guide people towards postive living..
If you wish to have an idea of the negative energies that really do exist and that people like me and Bluey protect from please have a good look at this site.. http://homepage.ntlworld.com/ian.bradley4/overviewnew.htm
Most people manage to go through life without finding negative energies that attack ..but I know the unprotected positive energy (that hopefully most of us here are) is like an open lit window on a moonless night to the dark.
Scepticism is a good quality..it makes us look harder at things..
Protection is not difficult..clearance is..
I hope this helps you..Len :) :) (Quest)Hi
I do not use protection all the time but there have been times when I felt it was needed. To me energies , physical or otherwise , can be friendly or peaceful or not. We do not expect all people to be friendly and kind all the time. We only have to look within ourselves - with the best of intentions, do we send out only positive thoughts 24/7 and have we done so through our whole lives?
One of the mantras that I do use is the one from this site.
http://www.mahatma.co.uk/medatations/med12.htm
[color=violet:d7171c3a30]I am a Being of the Silver Violet Fire
I am the purity that God desires.[/color:d7171c3a30]
A friend gave the link on another group during similar discussions. It helps in personal clearance, transmuting negative energies of anger / fear etc and in the space around us as we expand the energy to fill our home. Then if we wish we can feel it radiate out from us to others. Especially if we are sending out distant healing or thoughts to troubled areas of the world - literally to those parts of the earth itself as well as those who dwell there.
If I wake in the night feeling restless or wake suddenly for no apparant reason. I will use it and affirm that my aura is edged with the Silver Violet flame. This is 2 edged, any energies - thoughts / dreams coming to me will pass through this filter - also any thoughts I may have been having or sending out will also be filtered.
We can guard our thoughts while awake but asleep is another matter.
Also I would use it anywhere outside that the energies seemed other than peaceful - in traffic jams, any crowded situation I might be caught up in, or if people around me were arguing or fighting.
Love and Blessings
Joy (JoyB)Thanks for the replies, I must admit I have found this to be compelling reading. I'd always thought that when you get to a certain stage in life one is pretty much aware of most things that one might encounter, but this just goes to show that there's always something new to learn and discover.
It would appear that many people on this board are operating on a different plain to myself, but it's extremely interesting to me nonetheless. I doubt if I l could make any meaningful contribution on this subject, or others similar to it, but I'll be lurking in the background trying to learn what I can.
Thanks again,
R :D (rosencrantz)[color=blue:4c51b5038b]Summer :D
You are very welcome, I know Charles’ CD will help you manage your pain. Sending you Love and Healing.[/color:4c51b5038b]
[color=orange:4c51b5038b]Rosencrantz :D
As there is Light there also is Dark one can not exist without the other . . . positive and negative . . . balance in all things.
When working in altered states of consciousness . . . on any level . . . for any purpose, for example healing . . . we are tapping into positive energies of purity and Light, however, lightwork attracts energy from both poles and so to protect is to shield against the more undesirable forces. [/color:4c51b5038b]
[color=violet:4c51b5038b]Joy B :D
This sounds as if it is a variation of something that I have found very helpful . . .
I use the Violet Flame to heal and to protect and agree it is very powerful.
You raise a good point also about sleep – sleep is an altered state of consciousness . . . it is an ancient tradition to protect sleep . . . for example Native American peoples use dream and spirit catchers . . . [/color:4c51b5038b]
[color=green:4c51b5038b]I am aware that this thread may cause fear in some and this concerns me . . . an analagy may help resolve any fearfulness that some may find . . . when undertaking any form of activity that would involve an element of danger . . . from using a strimmer in your garden to riding a motorbike, from playing football to rock climbing . . . wearing the appropriate protective clothing is a sensible precaution . . . not because you expect to get hurt . . . because there is an acknowledgement that there is a possibility and a greater respect for staying safe . . . this concept embraces all aspects of life.[/color:4c51b5038b]
[color=blue:4c51b5038b]With Love to all
Blue Fairy x[/color:4c51b5038b] (Blue Fairy)Even round the home!! We stick safety plugs into sockets until children learn how to use electricity safely. Press a button, push down a switch and the power activates all sorts of gadgets and lights. Stick a finger or anything else into the socket, touch a switch with wet hands and it can be a very dangerous power. We take all this for granted once we have learned how it all works. Yet who would chose to be without electricity???
Life is a learning curve from the day we are born, luckily for us.
Love and smiles

Rosencrantz..
We all walk our Earth Walk..you walk with us..however many of us walk together we all walk alone.
I feel you understand this.
You have made a meaningful contribution..and we all learn each from one another..
Know the wisdom in your humility and the Truth in your heart..
Len . :) :D :D (Quest)Hello everyone can anyone tell me why on the Pain cd charles says to not lie in bed. To go to a chair or something. Just I was wondering can I not use cd at night when I am ready to go to sleep. I find it helps me if I am lying down fully. Maybe there is a good reason for not being in bed but was wondering what it was.
God Bless
Summer (Summer)Hi Summer,
The only reason not to use it on the bed is that the bed is a place you associate with sleep. So there is no problem at all palying the CD while lying in bed its just that you are more likely to fall asleep afterwards.
Warm regards
Charles (charles vald)Hello Charles thank you for clearing that up for me. It just leaves me I can use it when trying to get to sleep when the pain is at its worst. I was just afraid of doing it all wrong.
God Bless
Summer (Summer)Thanks for the post on the guestbook it was very sweet.
You really can't do much wrong with one of my self hypnosis cds, you might fall asleep of course you shouldn't do anything active afterward because your blood pressure and pulse goes down.
Enjoy the lovely healing relaxation
Charles (charles vald)I was wondering about listening to a CD on a (soon to be daily) early morning train journey to try to help me sleep a bit longer on the way to work. Would the usual sleep ones work or are they really to induce a whole night?! Would it be a good idea or not? (Kitbit)Hi Kitbit,
I feel the best way. is to learn self hypnosis from the cd so that you can learn to use relaxation techniques without having to depend on it on the train. (charles vald)Thank you, that is interesting. I am not sure how relaxation techniques will work as I tend to be too 'aware' and brooding on transport with lots of people around. I'll see how it goes though as it's not yet been put into practice. (Kitbit)
