Prologue
The subconscious mind has always fascinated me. This fascination
started approximately 25 years ago, when my at that time very
young wife, was taking her final exams to become a teacher.
She was frightened to death and was on the verge of giving it all up.
I had by chance read a "Dummies for hypnotists" - ( read this book
and become a great hypnotist in 10 min. ) and thought it couldn't
hurt trying out the techniques on my wife. Things could only get
better!
We got up together very early in the morning, and I used what I
had learned to the best of my abilities. The book was very simple,
straightforward and direct in its form. Bring the person into
hypnosis and give the subconscious mind a number of positive
suggestions.
I am quite sure, that I made some elementary mistakes. Mistakes,
that I nowadays as an experienced, trained master hypnotist, would
have smiled at.
My wife was more calm, confident and relaxed the following
mornings after the hypnosis séances, and also passed her final
exams.
Whether my efforts had any actual effect, or whether it rather was
my wife's blind trust in my hypnotic abilities that did the trick, those
early experiences with hypnosis left a little seed in my stomach.
This seed lay dormant for several years, before it was fully
Transforming Beliefs with Self-Hypnosis - 3
awakened.
After taking a degree in music and science, health issues forced me
to shift my ground, and I began educating myself a therapist. At
first I took classes in NLP ( Neuro Linguistic Programming ) and
later several years training in advanced hypnosis and hypnotherapy.
Hypnotherapy almost instantly became my favorite field of practice,
offering a fast and effective tool to deep and lasting personal
change. So what's this book about?

What this book is about
This book is about identifying old, rigid, outdated beliefs from the
past and replacing them with new fresh powerful beliefs.
This "exchange" takes place on a subconscious level. Therefore this
book is also a book about the subconscious mind. How to use self-
hypnosis as a wonderful tool and how to create access to our hidden
beliefs.
In this book you will learn to:
✓ Master a universal technique of transforming beliefs, that can
be used for everything - and I mean everything!
✓ Understand, and communicate with your subconscious mind.
✓ Change old hard-core habits, thoughts and beliefs.
✓ Create a breeding ground for new, healthy and fresh
contemporary mind programs.
✓ Master a simple, bulletproof self-hypnosis technique that
works and is yours forever.
✓ Take control of your subconscious life. Move from unconscious
victim to conscious creator.
✓ Create a stronger body, greater mental clarity and a higher
level of consciousness.
✓ Maintain and reinforce the changes you create.
What is required from your side?
1: A sincere desire for change - perhaps the circumstances of your
life right now are problematic or downright unbearable. Fine - this is
an excellent starting point for change.
Transforming Beliefs with Self-Hypnosis - 5
Some of the greatest human quantum leaps of consciousness, have
been based on a persons intolerable situation. What happened in
many of these people's lives was, that they actually started
doubting.
Eckhart Tolle is a living example of this. When he first started
doubting, he discovered himself as the living witness behind
everything.
This may sound somewhat backward, as the buzz words for many
years have been "believe in yourself " or "think you're good
enough".
This is undoubtedly excellent, but if all the old, untrue and limiting
beliefs from the past aren´t recognized, much willpower can be
spent in budging old ingrained beliefs. It's like turning off a fire with
gasoline.
2: A willingness to spend 10 min. of your day to monitor, maintain
and enhance the progress you have made. This can be done by
quickly and efficiently bringing yourself into trance, using a simple
self-hypnosis technique - described in the chapter on self-hypnosis.
I know from my experience with thousands of hypnosis clients, that
great progress can happen very quickly using hypnosis and
hypnotherapy. Still it is important to continue the work yourself.
Hypnosis can be very efficient, but I want you to be the captain of
your own ship, so you can steer the ship in the exact direction you
Transforming Beliefs with Self-Hypnosis - 6
want.
Therefore, this book is also about, how you in the easiest and
simplest way can maintain and reinforce the changes you create.
Identifying what's false
For you to be successful with the exercises in this book, a number of
elements must be present. First of all, you need to know exactly
what to change and reprogram in yourself.
The easiest way to identify and reach your goal, is to identify the
beliefs that prevent you from achieving your goal.
By this I mean, that we have to identify what's "false" first, to be
able to define what's "true". When I say false, I mean all the beliefs
we subconsciously have chosen to be and live out. Beliefs which
contradict the obvious. That we as humans already are unique,
precious beings made from light and love.
We have to see through ourselves, and realize what we are, and
what we are not.
The logical, rational mind is excellent at telling and outlining the
truth about ourselves. It thinks logically and from a logical point of
Transforming Beliefs with Self-Hypnosis - 7
view, it's quite obvious that we as human beings are precious and
invaluable.
Therefore, we can use our conscious mind to formulate exactly, how
we want our new beliefs to be. The conscious mind already knows
the truth about us. It is not governed by emotions and untrue
subconscious programs of the past
Making it eatable
It is imperative to formulate the new belief as precisely as possible.
This makes it more "eatable" for the subconscious mind. You cannot
just pick a random sentence, and assume that the subconscious
mind eats it raw.
It is necessary to address it, in a language that the subconscious
mind understands. This language is emotional, creative, timeless.
It's the language of your dreams. Therefore, I have dedicated a
chapter in this book on how to "create the perfect belief."
Establishing contact
Subsequently, to change your deepest subconscious beliefs, the new
belief must be placed deep within the subconscious mind. To do this
you have to connect with your subconscious mind.
To establish this contact, you first need to understand exactly what
the subconscious mind is all about and understand the difference
between the conscious and subconscious mind. This information is
contained in the chapter: The amazing subconscious mind.

Finally, we need to actually enter the subconscious mind. This is
done with self-hypnosis. Again, to be able to go fast and efficiently
in self-hypnosis, it is important to learn what hypnosis is and more
importantly, what it certainly is not.
I have therefore written a section on hypnosis, self-hypnosis and
included a FAQ about hypnosis.

Hypnosis
Myths and Misconceptions
When I started as a hypnotherapist 13 years ago, I was very green
and inexperienced. I had, throughout my education, acquired much
theoretical knowledge of hypnosis, as well as a great number of
hypnotherapy techniques, ready to be used in my clinic.
It took me some time though, to understand the subconscious mind
completely.
My clients arrived with loads of control, projections, prejudices and
myths about hypnosis, but also with hopes and dreams of a richer
and better life.
Therefore, I have always spent a great deal of time to strip this
control of my clients, thereby giving them the possibility of the most
effective treatment. These guidelines, of course, also apply for this
book, as you will become your own hypnotist.
The fear and control:
A typical myth about hypnosis that I often hear from my clients is:
"Now you won't make me act like a hen, will you?".
This statement obviously originates from various stage hypnosis
shows, where the hypnotist, in order to perform an entertaining
show, has hypnotized a susceptible spectator.
