Did you know what you have in common with Albert Einstein, Thomas Edison, Napoleon Hill and your favorite Olympic athletes? It’s self-hypnosis - your innate ability to change the movie in your mind to decrease worry, ease pain, increase confidence, enhance performance and achieve your dreams. In fact, Einstein’s Theory of Relativity reportedly came to him during a self-hypnotic state. Self-hypnosis helped Edison tap into his genius and invent some of the most important technologies of his and our time. Readers of “Think and Grow Rich,” by Napoleon Hill, will recall that he advocated “auto-suggestion” - otherwise known as self-hypnosis - for achieving remarkable professional and financial successes regardless of one’s beginnings. As a psychological tool, there’s plenty of research supporting the use of hypnosis for easing a variety of physical and emotional issues. Ultimately, re-scripting the movie in our minds can help us to manifest many of the changes we’ve been longing to make. In this episode, psychologist Traci Stein sheds light on what self-hypnosis is and how you can benefit from it. She also shares simple techniques for re-writing your inner script and shaping your life for the better.
