Self-hypnosis without files question

[Reboot2099]

I know how to get into a trance and while I do not get THAT deep and won't forget anything (most of the time), I think I am apt enough at it.

The problem is, I can't find a file that I enjoy from beginning to end. There is always something that bothers me, be it in the tone or wording that is used, the voice of the hypnotist, a fw things I don't quite like in the script etc.

I see a LOT of files that I find interesting, the general idea behind it. Some are right up my alley. It's the execution I don't particularly like.

So, besides having to record my own files, which I cannot and won't because I hate my voice and am no hypnotist, how can I condition myself while in a trance, by myself?

Do I think about what I want in every detail before hand, then go into trance without thinking anything? Do I do it while I try to go to trance, or while I am under? If it's the latter, what if I do get so deep I can't really remember anything?

It happened to me once by accident, I just thought about what I wanted all day and at night when I went to bed, I was half asleep and what I wanted happened, without any conscious effort to go in trance, just wanting to sleep. But since then, try or not, it hasn't happened ever again. How to make that happen again consciously?

In my experience the key part is finding an induction that works for you for self-hypnosis. I settled on a 'colour induction', thinking myself through walking through a series of rooms, each with the same contents but in different colours red, orange... purple, then finally down a set of steps into trance. The repetition and gradual progress work well on me, but I had to try various other methods before I found this one.

Once I am in trance, I find myself in two modes, hypnotist and subject, and can give myself suggestions which I've worked out beforehand. At least I call it a trance, it certainly feels just like the trance I can enter from listening to files.

One option is to edit the files to remove the bothersome parts. You can do this fairly easy using Audacity. I often use this to remove inductions/awakeners or for minor tweaks here and there.

There are also a couple of files that you might find useful.

I'm sure there are other files that could help you out, these are just the two that came to mind.

Thanks for the answers guys!

Don't worry, I would have edited the files (even though I tried audacity and it took me 30 minutes just to do one thing by fluke and can't do it again :) )

But most of the things I don't like in a file are not editable. It's not that I don't like the suggestions or am uncomfortable with them. The IDEAS of the files are great. Other things bother me in their deliveries.

Take EMG for example. Some of his files ideas are great and I want them to work. But there is something in his voicing that I don't like. He seems out of breath often, stumbles for his words a lot etc. And I feel some of his files are too rushed for me. I have a hard time imagining things so for me, it would be best if the files were more descriptive. Other than re-doing the files, I can't get what I want. That's why I was asking about self-hypnosis without files.

I am really hard to please, I critique everything be it movies, music etc. So I am trying to be less hard to please but as far as hypnosis go, it's not that easy to do.

So if you have other tips and/or suggestion for web sites or books that are professional and not just trying to make a few bucks with things that don't really work and helpful about that, that would be great.

As for G file, I was wondering about it, but the description as well as the comments sounded to me like over-hyped and no real information was given as to what it really does. I thought all it did was take you deep into trance and that's it. I would like more information on what EXACTLY a file does before trying it. And yes I skimmed it a few weeks ago but it didn't really enlightened me as to what it does..might have missed the important parts :)

If you're that picky, then you either need to record you own files, or stop being picky.

Microphones are very cheap. Audacity is free.

When I first started recording my voice, I hated it. The recording sounded like I was talking through my nose. I played around with my posture, breathing and state of mind while recording and discovered I could change my voice quite a bit for the better. I had no other option to record my affirmations at the time, because they were too personal to share with anyone. I had to make my own recordings, and they got better and better. The emotional content of my voice improved as the emotional content of my head improved. The affirmations I recorded had the desired effect(s) and now, years later, I am just as picky about recordings as you, but I have several good ones I made for myself, half a dozen good ones for my clients, and several more in the works for WMM.
