I will hypnotize myself to recover my anxiety and panic attack + my every fear...I am leaving this comment so that I will get notifications when someone likes my comment. Then I won't forget this technique forever.

Visualization works. I use it every day. Over 45 years ago, I envisioned making a paper airplane that I could fly outdoors and glide long distances. I accidentally invented a new concept in aerodynamics which traps a vortex and prevents the airplane from stalling. Today, it has successfully worked on a Darrieus Wind Turbine. I did not know anything about aerodynamics when I started. It is called the Kline Fogleman airfoil or KF airfoil. We are all forms of energy. So use that energy to entertain yourself and enjoy the results. We are all creative.

This is why Einstein said imagination is much more important than knowledge.

Today was my engagement with my fiance...my mom is a mental depression patient who thinks everyone trying to harm me....even my in law whole family...she is paranoid about everyone....last night i tried this technique.....i imagined that she is behaving well and enjoying the ceremony....and its unbelieable....she actually did...and the ceremony was fun.....this thing works like miracle....

It is unbelievable how many people think hypnosis and self hypnosis is garbage. Hypnosis is an absolute gift! The best part is everyone can do it.

"Your mind can be your greatest ally, or you greatest enemy"

I will hypnotize myself to become more productive at work and blossom into the best representative at the company (I do sales). I am leaving this comment here, so I will get notifications when someone likes it… This way I’ll never forget it and continue to be successful. 😃 👍

Imagine getting hypnotised on youtube and just before the waking part there’s an ad 😂😂😂

Ok, I know that no one will believe me, but I don't need an alarm, no joke. When I go to bed, I tell myself 'I will wake up at 6AM tomorrow 8 hours from now (or however many hours)' and I legit wake up within 30 seconds of 6 o'clock... Not shitting you is this an example of what he's talking about...?

KZfaq has got me hypnotized because I can’t stop watching videos.

Instead of telling yourselfs you need to get better, richer, etc Just hypnostize yourself in feeling happy no matter what you have.

Thank you for your great comments!

This works for body weight, memory, fitness... If you calmly close your eyes for a minute, breathing gently and stare at nothing, take a thought massage and send it to yourself, your subconscious will make it happen. Doing this got me 100% in every test I took in senior high school. But I regret not taking economics.

As he was talking about belief systems controlling us--and negative beliefs about taking exams (paraphrased)--I remembered two things from my distant past: first, the incredible stress I felt studying for college exams, and second, a particular midterm exam, for a really tough class, that I hadn't studied for because I had misread the class schedule. I walk into class that day, sat down, and noticed how unusually quiet everyone was. I looked around and saw that every single person had her or his textbook and notebook cracked open, a dazed and worried look on each face. A moment later, the professor walked in with stacks of exams and blue test booklets and told us to put away our books. My first reaction: pure terror. My gut dropped through the seat, onto the floor. My second reaction: There's nothing I can do about this, so I might as well detach myself from the results of this test and accept my fate. For some reason that last thought made me sigh and relax. When I finally received my test and booklet, I glanced at each of the questions--and felt even more relaxed with the realization that I seemed to know the answer to every one of them, much to my surprise. As I wrote the answers in the booklet, I felt like I was "in the zone." Most of the test was made up of essay questions, and the answers flowed quickly and easily from my pen. In fact, I finished the test way too fast. I looked up and saw that everyone else was still scribbling, their heads down. Now, I'm not a genius, but at that moment I almost felt like one, as if I had tapped into an intelligent part of me I didn't know existed. As it turned out, I got an A-plus on that test--a no-study exam in a very difficult, dry-subject class. Probably the best test result I'd ever had. Listening to Dan talk about how our beliefs affect our performance has me thinking that my detachment from my performance on the test had opened my mind to a greater potential than I usually believed was possible.

You can also play audio of positive affirmations to be played while falling asleep and sleeping. It works. I've done it. Stopped procrastination.

This is by far the simplest, easiest and most productive TED talk I've seen, and it works!

The video starts at 7:23

This Man is such a gift: take heed or continue to flounder! Thank You Dan. Grateful Aussie.

It works. I have been a weak studier all of my life. At 61 I found myself at a life change. I needed a new job. Decided to sell life insurance. There is a pretty involved course before you take the state exam. I kept telling myself this is a piece of cake. Well, I passed the course and the state exam. I didn't do as well as I wanted but I guess a 97 will have to do. I now have my license.

Write it down how you want to be in present sence. Record your Story you want to tell yourself on your Phone. Use Headphones and let it Play every night all night long. The best that you can do...and it is so easy...Try to Visualize it every night...just right before you fall asleep.

For most of us living in the matrix, the ideal you, or the day tomorrow is just a programming. I would recommend first hypnotising yourself to wake up from the hypnosis of life. And hypnotising yourself to discover your true self. Go on that journey. For you to venture boldly into your blind spots. And so on...All the best!

Suddenly I Realized, This Video Is Already Hypnotizing me

I am hypnotizing myself to become the best motivational speaker.

About 25 years ago, I was a Radio Ad Sales Exec... I read about hypnosis- self-hypnosis & made myself a tape I listened to evety morning... it was my meditation... After a couple of weeks I increased my monthly income by 30%-50%, Working on straight Commission... I became pretty successful... This is much easier & I'm sure more Productive. Thank you Mr Hypnosis Man!!

THIS VIDEO HAS CHANGED MY LIFE: I have never thought of planning ones activities for the next day as hypnosis but it is or looking forward into the future as hypnosis but it is. You can see from the video the power of suggestion which really does work! Great video and well worth watching..............................

*People watching this all the very best for your future endeavors.*

Anyone else think at the end that he hypnotized everyone watching into thinking that is how hypnosis works and that it will work so than it will all be a lot simpler to teach?

I hypnotized myself, robbed a bank and now I'm a millionaire, Thanks Dan!!!!!!!

As a fully qualified 'clinical hypnotherapist' I can say that we're all in a state of hypnosis - all the time. What I would suggest to all of you is... do not count UP but count DOWN in other words when counting DOWN it's the natural way to go DOWN into another state of hypnosis and THEN... you count UP to come out of that state! Good luck!

"As a man thinketh, so is he"

It works. I quit smoking after more than 30 years with one session of hypnosis. I quit sugar with one session.

Law of Attraction ♥️ "What you think, you become."

My mum hypnotised herself giving birth to me 33 years ago. She says doctors at Royal Stoke in England thought she was going mad then after the midwives wanted her to help other women in labour

I have hypnotized myself for many years to find the strength to work. It worked for five hrs at a time then I needed to repeat.

4:47 is when he starts actually hypnotizing.

I couldn't stop noticing his hand movements! this guy is a great speaker!

Self hypnosis, positive behavior analysis, positive self talk, Meditation and visualization 🔥🙏🏾💪🏾🥰🤓🔥

I'm disabled from being jumped in 2019. My legs and back can control some of my days. Just pain and stiffness, can hypnosis help me be productive even when I'm filled with negative thoughts of my future, or when I get down because I can't respond to my 4 children how I would like because my pain, body and mind gets consumed by the thought of this continuing until I'm elderly. I'm 32 but feel 28 since I had 3 years of learning to walk. Freak man.... Trying to stay above water

this really helps i did this for a better paying job and i actually got it i went from making 15 dollars to making 30 dollars and hour with the same skills i just kept picturing me with more money in another job doing better and boom here i am going higher and higher

We used to call it the power of positive thinking.

The world needs Hypnotising.

I noticed a difference after my first night of self hypnotizing. The very next day.

If you part your fingers like he said, with or without his voice telling you to, they will automatically come together. It's not a result of his hypnosis but normal muscle movement.

Imagination is so powerfull

usually I dont have patience to watch any video completely..but this is very amazing... everything explained in simple short and precise manner...

Amazing advice 👏

So you have to think better so that you feel better and do better in life. Before going to sleep think about what you want to be or how you want to live your life in the next day in a positive way there is a good chance that tomorrow will be better.

When I was a small kid, my dad taught me a trick to wake up early in the morning which is (eg: if u want to wake up at 6 in the morning, tap your pillow 6 times and believe that you can wake up at that time) and it really worked well most of the time. Does this have something to do with hypnosis.

This is so REAL!! He is telling us what are suppose to hear if you let you mind listen you will hear!! If you let your mind feel pain you will feel pain!! We are being hypnotized every single day of our life. We are influenced by what we read and see. We are programmed that way!!! This is how life works!!

Positive energy breeds Positive energy...

if you are looking for a good video on this subject this is a good one. I've looked at dozens.

I do this for five minutes and after that my mind starts wandering and I won't sleep for the next hour or two. In that hour or two, My thoughts would go all over.

To have a fantastic collaboration with yourself: 1. Tell your mind what you want. 2. Link massive pleasure to going there and pain to not going there. 3. Change the pictures and the words. Using very detailed words. 4. Make the familiar unfamiliar, and the unfamiliar familiar. 5. Make Self Belief so normal to you, that everyone believes in you too. ✨ Your potential expands beyond what you can imagine...

It was an amazing session, very easy to implement ..thanks a lot for sharing the knowledge sir..

A great way to do this during the daytime, instead of before bed you can do the Jose Silva method whenever you want during the day time

Exactly True I Tried It, Self Programming Which Is Really Worked As I Were Planned Before Going Bad

The Bible says" as a man thinks in his heart so is he".

The finger thing seems like power of suggestion. He convinced us that it would happen so it happened. Kind of like how people wore those wristbands with the magnets in them and thought it was helping them do better. I wish I was that gullible and believed what I was being instructed to believe.

I'm a stage hand and I do conventions in Las Vegas, one show we do every year is called Western Vet, it a convention of Veterinarian's on the Western part of the United States, well when they bring their spouses, they need to be entertained while their other half are in classes and presentation all day. So everyday was different entertainment, day 1- comedian day 2- inspiration speaker day 3 - hypnotist, can't remember his name but really nice gentleman, let's call him Bill, Bill ask me to add a little drama to his act by dimming the lights in the introduction, I did, and then he started to explain what and how he was going to do some snaps and claps and whistles and some people will fall under hypnosis. It was about 15 to 20 folks in the room, a lady in particular caught my attention, because she was very quiet and sat in the same seat, which was right in front of my tech table, her ethnicity was Asian, and very quiet and obedient. Well the 3rd day she sat in the same chair and ad Bill started his act, this lady fell under Bills Hypnosis. Bill brought her up to the stage and she was really under Bills spell. I couldn't believe it, her husband would walk with her to the ballroom before he went to his classes, she was legitimate audience member. Now the fun starts, Bill had her do some small things such as raise your hand when u say a certain word, then he said let's see what talent she has, and my mouth fell open, he had this quiet, obedient, Asian lady about 45 yrs old, sing Respect by Aretha Franklin which so much soul it was the unbelievable act that I've seen, it was believable, he snapped her out of her Hypnosis and she attended the next day just like she did the first 2 days, if I didn't see it with my own eyes are own mind I would not believe it. I put that on everything

I always believed change your attitude change your life, but recently I am up against new struggles that's overwhelming and I'm struggling to stay positive and I have a long road ahead. I will start tonight and keep you posted. Thank you

Thank you. This makes complete sense. It's easier than we make it out to be and is so true. What we think in our own minds does indeed create our world around us.

i'll use it to keep trying meditation (CZ its boring initially ) ,, setting sleep schedule , gym , and also stop worrying about money and be a disciplined trader !!

I love this and I’ve been watching it repeatedly over one year, but the finger exercise would never work for me. Too sad.😢

That's how I worked while I was in school, and later, at work, and for everything in life ... imagine the outcome and stick to that image ... Of course I studied, worked, tried, but before I did this I started working in high school, something would always stop me ... I've started working when I was 14 years old read a book by Norman Vincent Peale ...

I've been interested in - or perhaps I should say fascinated by - hypnosis in general, for years, but as incredible as I found it, I always felt it to be a discomfiting prospect. I have pronounced personality traits that some would correlate with highly suggestible people (fantasy-prone, have a very vivid imagination, engaged in it a lot as a child, some creative aspects) but at the same time I'm also fairly analytical and fear losing conscious control or volition, to the point that I've never taken any substance that would induce this (I'm no stranger to alcohol, but I never drank to the point I couldn't remember the following morning). I'm not blind to the incredible phenomena that can be achieved via hypnotism, but nor do I pretend that its risks and abuses don't also exist. I'm of the mind that no external agent should have greater influence over us than we do ourselves. An unrealistic ideal, perhaps, but an ideal nonetheless. The thought of succumbing to an induction from a stage or street hypnotist sends me into fits of anxiety, even as I would like to think even my subconscious would reject any suggestion for amnesia. But at the same time, self-hypnosis as a tool for personal growth and positive change seems much more amenable to me as a concept. I've been experimenting with various auto-suggestion techniques for the past week or so and I feel much better about myself already. I'm exercising more frequently, have caught up on personal affairs, my room is a lot more organised, and my overall focus, mood and confidence have noticeably improved from the previous month. It's subtle, but I notice it in retrospect - and it's at the level that I don't really care whether it's a result of increased levels of self-belief, a result of subconscious suggestions, or both. If I've ever been in a trance, it's probably been a very light one, but I had quite a meaningful personal revelation not too long ago which I don't think is coincidental. Thinking too hard about it seems counterproductive, anyway, so I'm happy simply to embrace it. I think everyone should learn to unlock their innermost potentials and I just see this as one more avenue to doing so. But concerning hetero-hypnosis I would still advocate that people be judicious regarding whom they consent to accept suggestions from, as I've read a number of horror stories, too. Licensed hypnotherapists would probably be the best option, I have some extremely mixed feelings about stage hypnotists - I feel that something as intimate as the mind should not be toyed with for the sake of amusement.

Mind over matter.conscious energy affects matter

Thanks alot man. god bless you👍

This is exactly how I became a master of lucid dreaming is visualizing and concentrating on my dreams as I was falling asleep. Over the course of a month with this nightly ritual I am super powered in my dreams. Believe it or not but try it first. I always told people to meditate on their dreams but now that I hear this explanation, it makes me wonder if this is what really happened.

A great and simplified understanding of Hypnosis and it's many uses. Thank you Dan for representing our industry so well!

"When you are thinking better, You will feel better, When you are feeling Better, you will Do better" - Thinking is the Key.

Just watched this in bed, much better than a headspace ad.

Wonderful presentation. Especially like your turn of phrase: it may seem like you are putting people to sleep, however you are awakening a part of their mind.

Charlie Manson talked about programming..I have always been a fan. But that's besides the point. My childhood was dark, simply because i was keen to being programmed & didn't much appreciate it. I held on to my Self and my Intuition for dear life. So grateful for my endurance & strength in this, though externally i am small & meek with my fellow man, I am able to stand for my principles again & again.

I will try your idea from today. Thank you for sharing

Thank you for your precious advice

It really works it has eased my pain I have and makes me sleep better too.

Thank you Dan

⛳️Taught 70,000+ people plus 2.5 Million plus by this Ted talk… and many more.. 🙏🏻👌

it was a wonderful speech.

It's kind of law of attraction. Programming ur subconscious mind

Forbidden knowledge. “Some” people can access this in a different way and get varied results aswell. Human brain is really powerful

God bless this man

That's the best way I ever learned about the hypnosis !!! Thank you so much !!!

A truly great presentation, direct and to the point. The comments here are terrific, most people really do want to be the best they can be, but sometimes it takes a little help, like this.

I think I have been looking my answer in the wrong places. I have been studying thinga like Liber Null and the phenomena of fervor but here it's broke down in a much easier way to understand. Although mundane things like getting better grades and quit smoking seem far off from self inflicted hallucination the process seem to work in quite a similar way, very interesting.

Studying hypnosis august 2022 setting goals for 2023

Thank you sir so much !!!!!

Wow. The most useful video I've ever seen on KZfaq so far.

This guy is great. Very inspiring

Thank you

This is one of the best TED Talks I've ever listened to. Amazing! Thank you, Dan Candell :)

Simple, elegant solution! Thanks so much for presenting this!

Love this video. Thank you Dan Candell

Thx great info. I watch it again and again. Masterpiece of work.

Amazing speaker! With a great topic well put and well said!

Dan - Finally I took a moment go find this video of your TEDx Talk and watch it. WOW! What a great job you did! Great presentation on what hypnosis is - specifically self-hypnosis - how to do it for yourself and how it can benefit you. I agree with Kathryn about your explanation toward the end that: "It might look like you are putting people to sleep, but by doing this exercise, what you're actually doing is awakening a part of your mind." So true!

Thank you.

The finger trick simply reveals which subjects are imaginative/suggestible or skeptical/resistant.

When I'm falling asleep at night, I keep thinking of the time I want to wake up and I usually wake up around that time. It's not hypnosis but it's pretty cool.
