My book is called Self Hypnosis by (I think Leceron or L Ceron) a 1977 version.
I think it was quite good (and I'm going to re-read it pending the arrival of my Procyon). It has a fairly good induction ("you can record to a record in most department stores" Ha! Ha!).
My problem was I couldn't stop mind chatter interrupting my attempts. I lay there trying to relax and spending more time analysing if I was relaxing than relaxing and thinking: "is my arm moving because I'm hypnotised or because I'm doing what the book says it should do?". In the end I always decided I was kidding myself. I'm a bit too analytical for unaided self hypnosis I think. And I fall into the category: "Tell my secrets to a psychiatrist? Not in this lifetime" so self hypnosis was the only thing I was willing to try.
For me, it's more exciting to start from a position of no problems to resolve so I can start focusing on "playing" immediately.
I intend to try every session and more and am counting the days. (I'm at day 4 and my order isn't approved yet but one more day to follow up time!)
Oh, and, I live in a special economic zone of China so unfortunately there's no chance of contacting an English speaking hypnotheratist even if I wanted to, I don't speak Chinese.
