Creating Psiballs

Self Hypnosis

The most basic form of self-hypnosis is a basic relaxation trance.  There are several ways to reach this type of state, and two such processes are outlined in this article.  If you wish further instruction, you may want to check out one of our self-hypnosis instructional tapes.   Or our  Learn Self Hypnosis Tape set.

Otherwise, please feel free to follow these instructions, and enjoy a nice time of relaxation.  These can be very useful for falling asleep.

WARNING: It is easy to become groggy or spaced out when using trance.  Be sure to guide yourself completely back from this state. Practice this technique ONLY where it would be theoretically safe to fall asleep. Do something active afterward to completely guide yourself back before doing any activities such as driving. Do not even READ this section unless it would be theoretically safe for you to drift off or fall asleep at this time.

Method One- 

Color progression.

There are various levels of brain activity, beta, alpha, theta and delta are only a few  Beta is the normal awake state.  Alpha is the light trance and relaxation state, before sleep for instance. Theta and Delta are deeper forms of trance and sleep like states, with delta being associated with deep learning states.

The mind responds to certain color images or thoughts and will place one into various levels in accordance with what w\one is visualizing or thinking of at a given time.  For instance, thinking of  a stressful situation is naturally going to place one in a level at beta or above.  As one imagines a relaxing scene, or thinks of a relaxing time, they will naturally re-enter an alpha sate.

It is not necessary to be able to make images in one’s mind, or to imagine pictures to do this, simply thinking about the individual colors will be enough.  If one has a difficult time thinking of a color floating on its own, then simply think of something that IS that color and then think about the color floating off of it.

The color spectrum, from red down to purple, corresponds with the various stages of relaxation which run from beta down to alpha- by following these instructions, you can easily enter a basic alpha state… if you are concerned about remembering these steps, then you may wish to record them on tape and play them back for yourself.

COLOR PROGRESSION:

Sit or lay comfortably in an environment where you know you will not be disturbed. Make sure your clothing is comfortable and non-constricting. Make certain that the lighting level is also comfortable. When you begin, take some time with each color/ level, and simply notice the feelings in your body and how they change as you take the time to go through the process.

Beginning at Beta, the awakened state, close your eyes and take three, DEEP, slow breaths.  Notice how, as you inhale, you build up certain tension in your shoulders and chest, and as you exhale completely, he tensions flows away with the exhalation.

In your mind, visualize or think of the color RED.  Red is associated with he beta state.  There is no need to make a picture of the color red, if you are not good with visualization, simply think f the color if that is all you can do.  If you have difficulty working with an abstract color, simply think of something that is that color, like a fire engine or apple, and think about the color drifting off the object or the object coming closer until all that is there is the color red. Notice how you are feeling at this moment, notice the rhythm of your breath and the way the thoughts run through your head.

Now, imagine the color Orange. Simple allow the red to fade, and be replaced in your mind with a vivid orange color and notice how the mind and body already begin to make subtle changes as they move toward the relaxed Alpha state. Imagine what it would be like to comfortably breath in that color, Orange and notice the warm, comfortable secure feelings that begin to accompany this.  Stay here for a moment, and simply enjoy this state of being.

Step #3- Allow the thoughts of orange to fade to thoughts of a vivid yellow, like a fresh lemon or newly bloomed butter cup flower.  Often the breath changes to a slightly faster but deeper one at this point, almost like a sigh or quick yawn. Notice any changes that happen in your overall state and enjoy the shift in attention from outside yourself to inside.  If there are any thoughts or outside sounds that distract you, they can be acknowledged and allowed to drift away at this point. They need not be important.

The fourth step will be more profound a change as you allow the color of focus to become green, like a freshly mowed meadow. Notice how with this green there is less movement of the body, and it becomes less of a challenge to simply drift and relax.  Also notice what comforting images thoughts or sounds come into your mind if any. Take a few moments to enjoy this level before proceeding to the next to the last level before Alpha.

Now, allow the color on your mind to transform to beautiful blue.  A blue color like deep blue eyes, or a light sky blue, as you see fit will do nicely.  Enjoy the slow comfortable breathing, and the quietness of the mind.

And as you enter alpha, think of the color purple, and deep royal purple and what it would be like to allow the color to surround you in a comfortable light or mist. You have reached a basic alpha state.

At this point you can do several things. You can allow yourself to go back through the colors to awaken completely. You can simply enjoy this level, and possibly drift to sleep. You can focus upon goals or outcomes you wish to set for yourself, and how to obtain them. You can deepen the state using the thinking of visualization plan provided next.

Deepening

Think of yourself stepping out of the purple color and into a white hallway.  Again, you need not visualize this, simply think about it if need be.  The hallway can be made of white marble, or carpeted, and notice as you walk down it, 5 steps to the end, what sounds you might also notice in this hall.  The hallway ends at the top of a comfortable set of stairs.  You may think of or imagine these stairs anyway you like, but know that there are 21 steps to the bottom.  If stairs are uncomfortable for you, then steps of clouds, or an escalator can be used.  ANYTHING that allows you to descend into a deeper state is fine.

Now, begin descending one level at a time, counting from 21 to 0 as you do, taking your time and going down one level for each breath you take.

Notice how your can feel your mind drifting into a more relaxed, entrancing and trance-formative state with each step you think about taking.  When you reach the bottom, you may even be approaching the top of the Theta level of trance.

How To Use The Trance

Suggestions or Goals if you prefer must have certain qualities in order to be effective.  Learning self hypnosis is best taught in an office setting by a licensed professional hypnotist, and a text instruction like this can only be expected to be used for the most basic of relaxation and goal setting until the individual has become more practiced at using the unconscious mind.

 You can however allow this state to be a doorway to using your own unconscious resources if you follow some simple guidelines and write down and set a goal BEFORE entering the trance state as outlined above.

 To use the trance, you need to formulate a goal, preferably in writing, and it must meet these guidelines:

• The goal must be stated in the positive.  State what you WANT rather than what you don’t want.

• The Goal must include all the descriptive information about who, what, when and where you wish to have this goal.  BE SPECIFIC!

• You just include a specific sense of HOW you would know if you had achieved the goal. On an internal level, what would you see, think, feel and hear.

• What resources would you need, from INSIDE yourself, in order to have this goal? What would you have to b able to do, what would you need to believe, what would have to be different about your identity?

• Once that is done, take the page of text, and boil it down to one positively states sentence and insert it into the following paragraph which you should read, aloud or silently several times before entering this trance.

PRE TRANCE SCRIPT:  I am asking my unconscious mind for its protection and its help with the following goal:    (Insert your sentence here)       in just the right and healthful ways for me.  I trust my unconscious mind to help me take care of the specific steps and procedures needed to allow me to generate the new options, feelings, thoughts and behaviors to accomplish this as I enter this trance-formative space.

Then enter the trance state, and allow your unconscious mind to do the rest.

WHAT TO EXPECT: 

Be patient with your unconscious mind!  If you haven’t been listening to it or working with it for a while, it may take time to build rapport so it will work with you.   Also, if you are trying to change some behavior or thinking, you may need to examine what the positive intent of that behavior is- in other words, what side BENEFIT does it give you. Even if the behavior itself SEEMS to be negative, try to imagine what positive side effect it may have for you.  You may need to figure out another way to achieve the same positive side effect for the negative behavior to be gotten rid of.

Good luck and HAPPY TRANCING!!!!

Automatic Handwriting

A form of channeling, or psychic ability, to receive impressions, vibrations, which are beyond those normally received by the five senses. Such information is translated into the touch sense of writing.

As with any psychic ability, development and practice requires:

1. Relaxed openness
   
2. confidence
   
3. Concentration

To embark on this practice, consider the following activities developed by fluent Automatic Handwriting channelers.

Relaxation - Meditation is probably one of the most powerful tools to help you to understand and feel (physically and emotionally) the state of relaxation and half-trance necessary to begin to write/channel. Complete relaxation occurs when you begin to channel/write; the hand (or the voice in voice channeling) becomes an extension to the information you seek. If you are having difficulty, meditate before trying to channel/write. Clear your mind and relax!

Materials - Initially, it is preferable to work longhand. As you become more comfortable as a channel/writer and the information you are receiving is flowing, you may choose to work on a computer or typewriter. For some people, it is preferable because they have learned to compose their own writing on computer. The better a typist you are, the more comfortable you may be with this method. It is not a recommended method for the "hunt and peck" typist where the mechanics of what you are doing would tend to get in the way of receiving the information.

The recommendation first and foremost, is to do what you are most comfortable doing. Whether you sit at a table or sit with a pad on your lap is a matter of personal preference. For many writers, writing comes the center of the body, moving down the arm. There is often a lot of movement when writing, so you may prefer to sit at a table with the paper before you.

It is recommended you use a tablet of some kind where the paper is bound together. You will want to keep your early writings so a spiral notebook, or composition book, will keep your writing in chronological order. Keep your pages in the order written and after channeling Date Your Page. Do not use erasable paper, it will smudge.

In the beginning, the writing instrument is important. It is an extension of your hand and should be comfortable and assist in producing a fluency to the information, and not a barrier. A roller ball may be the perfect instrument, but again, do what is most comfortable for you.

Intent- For anyone requesting information through a channeled source, it is recommended that the intent be examined. Whether you choose to write a contract about what you will or will not accept is an individual decision, but it is recommended that a you keep certain aspects of the process the same for each time you prepare to channel/write.

Activity Suggestions:

• Pick a certain time of day.
• Choose a certain room/table/chair where you are comfortable and will be uninterrupted. Meditate before you channel, or say a prayer.
• Read a passage in your favorite book of inspiration -- perhaps a random selection from the Bible, the I Ching, The Book of Tao, or perhaps your favorite book of poetry, but whatever ritual you create, by all means, center thyself.

Once you are ready, write your question at the top of the first page. Begin by writing the first things that come into your head. Once the writing begins, the hand will continue without conscious effort or thought. In the beginning, circles and figure eight's are common, but stick with it. As you continue, thoughts will pass by and you will be partially aware of what is being written. Allow there to be a slight distraction (a distant television, or radio or music playing) that can mildly distract the analytical in you that can stop the information from flowing. Have fun, and relax. Know that you are in control at all times. If you are not comfortable, stop and ask for assistance.
