An Interesting Observation
Every Tuesday morning, I wake up to an alarm so that I can make it to the local networking group meeting on time.
So last night, I decided to set my phone alarm rather than my clock, and I chose a ringtone that is the first phrase of one of my favorite bits of music to be the alarm.
Well, this morning, even a good hour after the alarm went off, that phrase of music was still going through my head. So I'm thinking about recording an affirmation, possibly setting it to music, and then making that my alarm tone . . . .
I wonder if anyone else has noticed that suggestions stick better if they're heard first thing in the morning.

So ithink thats a great idea, an affirmation with the music of your alarm, might give it ago myself

- Daniel Kobialka's version of When You Wish Upon A Star gets me into trance everytime, regardless of the time of day.

- It's best to do affirmations in the morning or evening right before you go to bed...with music it just anchors it so it can be more effective...

Comment by James Malone on June 16, 2009 at 8:12am - James, it would seem we are naturally more suggestible when we first arise so why not decide to "get out of the right side of the bed" in the morning instead of the wrong one? Also, I wonder if a suggestion anchored to a favorite piece of music like you described might be enhanced too?

I'm interested in trading even MORE Skype hypnosis sessions with other hypnotherapists. I offer Hypno-Healing which includes Ultra-Height(tm). What I have to offer may be different than what others have to offer. It's fascinating because nearly ever…

Michael,
1. If you were referring to me, I never conflated eliciting an IMR with a client's guaranteed outcome, and so I'd have to reject your statement as a straw man fallacy. Also, if you're saying that eliciting an IMR could never have a bearing…

When we offer our opinions - we are sharing a judgement -- Some insisted (not you,) that the problem with hypnosis was that some hypnotists didn't practice hypnosis their way -- Give me a break!
My opinion is that the only meaningful p…
Ah, if only everything in life were that easy. ;) Thanks, Roger, you're awesome.
I was a nearly constant daydreamer as a child, and I think it's a pity that our culture does its best to drive that ability out of children rather than teaching them to use it.
There's a quote from T.E. Lawrence (aka Lawrence of Arabia): "All men d…
I'm interested in learning self-hypnosis, is there a way to do it without a hypnotist implanting a PHS? (I say this because I don't know one.)
If so, how?
Should I make a recording? I tried an Elman induction for it but it didn't work because I st…
That was easy!
Hi Kelley,
Although, I like Jamie Smart and I agree that he is a masterful instructor, I wonder how you decided that Jamie's demo demonstrated that people can change--
FYI - The finger switch exercise that Jamie demonstrated has been around for de…
Thanks, Kevin, I appreciate that. :)
