Powerful Mind Through SelfHypnosis: A Practical Guide to Complete Self-Mastery

If you want to learn what hypnosis and hypnotherapy are and how to create your own hypnosis scripts to deal with your own problems then this is the book for you. Be aware that hypnosis for change is a tool used by therapists, if you want to instigate real change then you must first understand the reasons for your problems, this is often something that is only possible through a third party perspective. Whatever you do with this book, don't expect it to give you any greater understanding of yourself.

Having read tons of books of the genre this is,in my opinion, the only one you will ever need .......

I thoroughly recommended this book .Discover yourself through self hypnosis it could Potentially change your life. Find out what your subconscious thinks.

As a long-term advocate of hypnotherapy and the healing power of the subconscious mind, I used to routinely give out old dog-eared copies of Leslie Lecrons classic masterwork 'self-hypnotism' to my clients and also my friends and certain family members as presents. Recently I started doing so again with Cathal O Briains new work which seems to me to be the natural heir to Lecrons brilliant but very dated masterpiece. The world of hypnotherapy has moved on significantly in the last 45 years. Cathal O Briain is a natural writer and allied to his obviously deep grasp of the subject of hypnotherapy has created a highly readable, refreshing guide to controlling ones destiny. I believe this book is an important addition to the global hypnosis canon because it offers the oft-esoteric secrets of hypnotherapy to the client and layperson on a silver platter whilst never neglecting the highly responsible, safe and ethical dimensions of the field. In short I would recommend this book to all and sundry and I find it genuinely exciting to have a top-calibre writer evangelizing our work to the masses. I feel that this will be the definitive work of its kind in our field for some time...

I tried it after reading the book, didn't quite deliver and so got into meditation instead which I am personally finding much more valuable. However that's not to say this book might not work for you!

I have always been very sceptical about books like this but it was recommended to me by a friend who knows the author. I found it a very logical and engrossing read. This book does not blind you with science and it brings the reader along a very natural progression making you want to learn more. I certainly will be recommending this to everyone I know and look forward to the next book by this author. I now see my future in a whole new way with a lightness I never thought I could achieve. It is a wonderful book to overhaul your thinking and it will be something that will have pride of place on my bookshelves and will be well thumbed for many years to come.

Cathal has done a wonderful job of presenting essential and powerful perspectives to make hypnosis user friendly. I am always happy to find author's in the field who agree with my intention in my book, Finding True Magic: Transpersonal Hypnosis and Hypnotherapy / NLP , to make the "secrets" available to everyone, not just to professionals. As Cathal says, you can be your own therapist with these tools. You can't go wrong choosing this book! Jack Elias

When I saw the cover of "Powerful Mind through Self-Hypnosis" I was immediately drawn to it. To put it simple, this book has changed every aspect of my being in a very positive way. At work, my friends keep telling me how great I look and at home I feel relaxed and happy all the time. I would never have thought that a book could have such a profound impact on my life and I thank the author from the heart. Through using Cathal's simple and natural self-hypnotic techniques, I find self-hypnosis easy to use each day in all my activities. This book takes the mysticism out of hypnosis by getting you back to basic self-control, through breathing, suggestion, imagination, basically using the tools you already have but fail to use effectively. In other editions I've read on the same subject, authors have overcomplicated the simple process of hypnosis by adding to much 'magic' and not enough 'logic' to the equation. This is why it's perfect for the beginner as well as the professional. It makes proper use of the mind and body you have by helping you tap in to the power of the subconscious area of the mind, to put it simply. The structure and layout of the book is also very useful for those who want to use it as a psychological guide, kind of an 'A to Z' of symptoms and how to help overcome them through self-transformation. For example, if you suffer from anxiety or depression, you can go straight to those areas and find solutions. For the professional, it's easy for them to get a basic understanding of everything to do with hypnosis and the mind, as well as incorporate the well written scripts provided for their own private therapy sessions. O'Briain has also done very well to reinvigorate self-hypnosis as a pure and natural form of self-healing and I'm glad he took the initiative to show people that it's a phenomonen that has been around since the dawn of time, used for mind strengthening and not for mind control. It's as natural as breathing and O'Briain dedicates an entire chapter to the breath, which is central to his teachings and an integral part of the self-hypnotic process. This book has the potential to change the minds of the masses. I hope it reaches a wide and varied audience because it's a book for everyone. My congratulations to the author on a wonderful book full of surprises and healing.

Cathal O'Briaian, " Powerful Mind Through Self-Hypnosis: A Practical Guide to Complete Self-Mastery" I have included hypnosis and self-hypnosis practice in my personal self-improvement regimen for decades. Yet, upon encountering the elegance of Cathal O'Briaian's presentation here, I found much new insight and value. The author is a well-respected and credentialed clinical hypnotherapist and psychotherapist, a writer and lecturer, and a member of the Institute of Clinical Hypnotherapy and Psychotherapy. First, and perhaps most important, the author does not unnecessarily complicate the subject or mystify in any way. In the field of hypnosis, in particular, and self-mastery, in general, this is noteworthy. Instead, what we find in this book is a clear and concise methodological approach, which focuses upon the essentials of both understanding and practice. The first part of "Powerful Mind Through Self-Hypnosis" deals with the nature and history of hypnosis and the transformative power of positive intention and a program of self-improvement using affirmation and suggestion techniques. The second section provides specific procedures for addressing a host of life issues, such as depression, addiction, and pain management using specific self-hypnosis techniques. This is valuable information at any price. This book is a worthwhile addition to the bookshelf of anyone with an interest in self-improvement and the positive power of the focused mind.

The book is easy to read and the introductory chapters make sense. The scripts are useful. The one I recorded and applied was quite successful and it worked.

All my life I had a stammer and over the years I learned how to control it most of the time. Now pursuing a career as a Garda (Irish Police Force) I want to always have control over it. Just before I enrolled for speech therapy sessions I came across this book. I got great help and with the techniques to programme the 'beat' into my mind, I now talk with a rhythm 'to the beat'. A very inspirational book. I now have power I never knew I had. Thanks.

I'm an hypnosis trainer and was glad to read this book that I will decribe like complete! I like the approch and the way the author go deep in certain topic that are almost forgotten in other more "classic" books (even the good ones). So great book.
