I am reading a book on Self Hypnosis…?
March 11th, 2010 . by adminOk I am 14 and I am interested in Psychology, Sociology, and other similar things. I like to better understand the mind. I don’t know why but I have a hard time understanding myself and I would like to better understand myself. I am thinking that since I have done alot of research and reading about all these subjects it would help. I just bought a book at a garage sale called "Self Hypnosis Its theory Technique and Appicatoin" by Melvin Powers Copyrighted in 1956. I know it is an old book but do you think it could help me? I have a weird mind and I am often depressed and suicidal and I worry alot and am very indecisive also my counsciounce worries me alot. Do you think it could help me? Also do you think it is odd that a 14 year old is interested in all this? By the way I have this thing where I can tell what people are thinking and read their emotions even when they are half way across the country (I did it last night I shocked myself) and well it only works with certain people I know. Not everyone. Mostly the people who have opened up to me and are close to me although I have done it to complete strangers too. Please help. Thanks.
The book might help you, though also look into more recent editions as the whole hypnosis thing has moved forward loads, and check out ‘nlp’ (neuro linguistic programming) because also related in hypnosis. Its normal to be curious about yourself, and the world. Shows you have a good mind. Interesting to know that you have some kind of extra sense as well. You are not alone with that either.

Do you drill and fill your own teeth, would you remove own appendix if necessary.
Admittedly the hypnotist does not control you while you are in trance But will give you suggestions to get you where you need to be to eliminate or mitigate a problem. all with out touching you if that is what you want.
Melvin Powers wrote 7-8 books about the time listed in your book . Another of the old masters is Leslie Le Cron. – lots of good books and was a personal corespondent of mine. If you are serious you can try anything written By Milton Erickson or his wife. Best of the best!!! The method called NLP is based on his writings
Work on developing you extra senses you are now at the age where you would start loosing them. you loose them by not using them especially if your parents and /or friends say they are wierd. When you stare out into space or other places dont be suprised if you find some one staring back. Blessed Be!
