Psychologists and Doctors used to send their 'impossible' clients to
him and in many instances he helped them to turn their lives around.
Milton H. Erickson was one of the most successful hypnotherapists in
the world and is often referred to as 'the father of modern hypnosis.'

One of the factors that set him apart from other change workers was
his strong faith in the vast potential of human beings. He knew that
when a person stopped stumbling around with their conscious mind and
tapped into the limitless ocean of unconscious resources, people
could make wonderful changes.

He used to look at a client and say something like, "You've tried to
solve this problem with your conscious mind and failed utterly. Now
is the time to access your unconscious resources in a way that
resolves this problem effectively."

Now you may be wondering just how can you really induce self
hypnosis in two minutes!?

Well, one of the common misconceptions about hypnosis is that you
have to be able to concentrate and go into a profoundly altered
state. This could be done, however what we are really interested in
is accessing other areas of our mind (i.e. unconscious resources) so
that we can make certain changes giving rise to our chosen outcome.

The good news is you can do this very easily and you can give it a
go now with the following techniques. No need for deep trance!

Three Magic Doors

This is a classic hypnotherapy technique. I think you'll be
surprised and intrigued at what your unconscious mind conjures up.

Think of a small problem you want to change. For example perhaps
there is someone you would like to get along with better.

Imagine there are three closed doors in front of you: Door one is
labelled, "usual way", door two is labelled, "another person's way"
and door three is labelled, "wacky way!"

In a moment you are going to imagine walking through one of those
door ways and your unconscious will then present you with a solution
or new creative insights.

So as you look at those doors notice which one you are drawn to.
Would you prefer to solve the problem in a, "usual way", "another
person's way" or a "wacky way!"

And then just allow your unconscious to create an experience behind
that door that will give rise to what is known as a "ah ah" eureka
moment when you walk through to the other side.

When you feel ready imagine opening the door and walking through,
becoming aware of what you are presented with. What do you see, hear,
smell and feel? And as you look around what is it that you haven't
noticed yet?

You may or may not know at the conscious level how this experience
is going to help you, but you can if you wish ask yourself, "how does
this experience help me?" or "what new ideas, insights and
perspectives does this give me?"

Whenever we are stuck it's as if our mind is locked into a groove.
We can snap out of it and gain creative solutions by accessing the
unconscious regions of our mind.

There are many techniques and methods that enable us to achieve this
goal such as the 'three magic doors.' Here are some other ideas for
you to ponder:

What's on the back?

Picture something you'd like a creative insight into.

Have you ever wondered what is on the back of your images?

Simply imagine turning the image around and become aware of what is
on the back?

Don't get curious about what is on the back of THOSE images though!

The Wall

What is it that you'd like some help with?

Imagine a big wall in front of you.

Just allow your unconscious or the creative problem solving parts of
your mind to manifest some useful insights on the other side of the
wall.

When you feel ready imagine jumping up and looking over the wall.
You may have to jump up a few times to gather all the new information!

Playing around with these kinds of rapid self hypnosis techniques
will cause you to learn to access more areas of your mind. And as you
continue to do so you will find yourself becoming more capable of
solving problems creatively.
