“But wait,” I can almost hear someone asking. “If someone else hypnotizes me, how is that going to teach me self hypnosis?” It bears repeating that all hypnosis is self-hypnosis; when I or anyone else hypnotizes you, what we're really doing is giving you directions that will get you into the state you want.

You can also learn to hypnotize yourself by doing it. Here is a simple method that you can practice with no electronics, no gimmicks, and nobody involved except yourself:

I can recommend Richard Nongard for starters, and if you see anything from Cal Banyan or Wendi Friesen those will be good. If you want something more kink-oriented, the recordings by UltraHypnosis tend to be very well done. There are many other good hypnotists out there, too. You'll learn to spot them fairly quickly.
