That is the way it should be when you induce self-hypnosis. The conscious mind issues the direction, but the subconscious mind responds with whatever muscular responses are desired.
THE METHOD IS A STANDARD PROCEDURE, A PROVEN METHOD
The technique of inducing self-hypnosis begins with deliberate relaxation of the body muscles—a perfectly normal phenomenon that takes place every time you go to sleep.
There’s only one difference. When you reach the point where you would normally allow your conscious mind to rest and fall asleep, you will now give yourself instructions that you’ve rehearsed once or twice in general terms. These instructions will be absorbed and acted upon by the subconscious mind.
Our method of attaining body relaxation will be one used by most expert hypnotists and hypno-thera-pists. Commenting on my method, Leonard E. Levin said in “Hypnosis Quarterly”: “The mechanics of inducing the self-hypnotic state are not new or essentially disparate from most standard works. If anything, it is a simplified version of a proven method. The implanting of suggestion is the paramount aim, not trance depth.”
