I am interested in self-hypnosis, mainly for assertiveness and academic performance. Can anyone suggest a book or a tape or anything at all that they have tried and were successful with?

Find a comfortable chair or couch in an area where you’re unlikely to be disturbed. You may lie down on your bed if you wish, but if you think you might fall asleep, it’s best to sit up or choose a chair.
Close your eyes and try to empty your mind. When you begin, you will find it difficult not to think. You may find that thoughts keep intruding. When this happens, don’t try to force the thoughts out. Observe them impartially, and then let them slip away.
Observe the tension in your toes. Imagine that tension as something tangible, a specific color or shape. Then envision it lifting away from your body and drifting away. If you like, you can envision a cool liquid or white fog replacing the tension. Work your way up your body, relaxing each part individually. Visualize then relax your feet, calves, thighs, hips, stomach and so on, until you’ve relaxed each portion of your face and head.
Take slow, deep breaths. When you exhale, see the tension and negativity leaving in a dark cloud. As you inhale, see the air returning as a bright force filled with life and energy.
Appreciate the fact that you are now extremely relaxed. Tell yourself that you are going to count down from 10. Picture each number in your mind in detail. They can be huge block numbers, intricate golden figures, or whatever comes to mind. After each number, you will feel yourself drifting further and further into your subconscious mind. If you like instead, you can imagine yourself descending a staircase or ladder, as long as you imbue it with as much detail as possible. You may experiment and see which technique works better for you.
You are now in a deeply impressionable state. At this point, you should begin to address the issue you’re concerned about. Speak in the present tense. Your subconcious mind does not understand negatives in speech – avoid using statements with negative connotation such as “I don’t want to be tired and irritable.” Instead, say, “I am calm and relaxed.” Examples of positive statements for a variety of issues include: “I am stronger than smoking,” “I am healthy and smoke free,” “I am happy about my life,” “I have hope and I can rise above depression and I look forward to better things,” and “I am human and can rise above the embarrassment of [situation].”
Repeat your statement(s) to yourself as many times as you wish.
When you are satisfied, say to yourself that you will now count upwards from zero, and when you reach the number ten, you will slowly rise back to normal consciousness and remain calm and relaxed. Proceed to count upwards, again picturing the numbers in detail, or ascending your mental staircase.
Once you have ascended, give yourself a few moments before opening your eyes, and take your time getting up.
I cant really answer this question, but what i can say is that self hypnosis is probably a bad thing. relying on stuff like that isnt the best thing to do with your life, instead, try to do your best in what you can, once you find the field of work or study your comfortable with, perfect it. you should then be able to boost your confidence allowing for assertiveness in that field. soon, once you get more used to it in one area of your life, it will travel sub-consciously through to other areas. In academics, all i can say is to study and pay attention in class =P
As with GURU, but I would make a tape recording, giving yourself plenty of time for each step, using a soothing tone of voice, and covering all the major points, then check the beginning and end to ensure it is alright, with a suggestion that you will awaken refreshed and invigorated, and that you are calm and returning to normal waking consciousness if you hear the sound of an alarm (in case of fire, other emergency, or if you fall asleep). Then set an alarm for 15 – 20 mins. after the tape finishes.
To start with all hypnosis is self hypnosis. Trying to do it by your self is like reading a book on driving a car and running off to be a race driver-in one afternoon…..Have a hypnotist help you for a few tries ,or under worst conditions, get a good hypnosis tape.In over fifty years as a hypnotist I have never hypnotized any one They did it and enjoyed it. All I did was tell them what to do!
One of my favorite tapes is called “Journey to the center of time”by the Erickson Institute. You may have do a little looking for this. This tape is my escape when things are too hectic. This tape uses a multi-voice program so you must have a stereo tape player and ear phones or it will not work.
remember that the people who say something will not work or is dangerous usually ha ve not tried it under proper conditions.
