January 4, 2007 was the third annual World Hypnotism Day, a day when hypnotists from all over the world celebrated by offering people the chance to experience the benefits of hypnosis for free or at very low cost.

Participating hypnotists spent the day conducting free workshops to help people stop smoking, melt off some pounds, relieve stress, reduce clutter, learn to relax and a wide variety of other things. Some offered free CD’s or ebooks or MP3 downloads, as well. A good time was had by all.

To continue the celebration, and give those of you who missed it this year another chance, I want to let you know about a free download for a book by experienced hypnotist and writer, Henry Leo Bolduc.

Self-Hypnosis: Creating Your Own Destiny is a previously published book that Leo very generously put in the public domain in the year 2000.

It’s a great primer by a very skilled hypnotist which details some of the history and uses of hypnosis as well as teaching about the power of the mind and effective use of suggestions and visualizations.

Leo also gives detailed instructions for making your own self-hypnosis tapes, including scripts for 31 different programs. The following are just a few of the script titles: Building Self-Confidence, Memory and Concentration, Attracting Abundance, Enhancing Creativity, Self-Health, Stress Management, Overcoming Insomnia, Developing Psychic Ability and Chakra Attunement. And there are 22 more to choose from.

To give you a sense of what the scripts are like, here’s an excerpt from one for entering self-hypnosis:

“Breathe deeply and smoothly for a few minutes. (Pause) You can keep your eyes open for a minute, and you can look either forward or upward. You don’t have to look at anything specific, but just look either forward or upward.

I am going to count down from ten to one, and with every descending number just slowly blink your eyes. Slowly close and then open your eyes, as in slow motion, with every number.

Ten….nine….eight….seven….six….five….four….three….two….and one.

Now you can just close your eyes and you can keep them closed…..”

Whenever you open your eyes again, I hope you’ll enjoy checking out Self-Hypnosis:Creating Your Own Destiny  It’s a free gift from H. Leo Bolduc to all of us.

Happy Belated World Hypnotism Day! Watch for it again next year.
