Davis Foundation for Providing Emotional Comfort for Anxiety, Depression and Stress Through Self-Hypnosis

Current Message

Message of January 7

Each time a New Year arrives it provides us with a prompt to do something new, which typically takes the form of a New Year's resolution. People resolve to end a variety of unwanted habits, such as eating or drinking too much, smoking, overspending, or procrastinating; or to begin a beneficial habit, for instance exercising, becoming better organized, learning something new, or helping others. Although these resolutions are typically short-lived, there are occasions when a new initiative actually succeeds. I won't go into the theory here of why there are occasional successes among the many failures.

Those of you who have been doing self-hypnosis regularly have not waited for a new year to make changes because your Inner Guides are working all the time to end troublesome habit patterns and access new solutions for problems. And you don't have to make resolutions because your Inner Guide does the work for you.

For those of you who don't do self-hypnosis regularly, there is one resolution that you should make. You guessed it: to do self-hypnosis regularly. I know that for you this is easier said than done, as with any resolution. One purpose of this biweekly Message is to remind and encourage you to continue.

This Message can, itself, make a change in the new year. To provide additional help for you I will add a suggested "homework assignment" to each Message. It will usually take the form of a suggestion for communicating with your Inner Guide. If you haven't yet achieved direct communication, each attempt will serve to hasten the day when you will. And if you have, you will learn more about the ways that communicating can be helpful.

For those of you who haven't established direct communication yet: upon going into trance, ask your Inner Guide which finger represents "yes." If a finger or thumb raises or tingles, then ask which finger represents "no."

For those of you who have developed finger signals: ask your Inner Guide whether it has chosen a name for itself.

For those of you who have developed automatic handwriting: ask your Inner Guide what its name is and whether there is any special significance to its choice.

I wish all of you a Happy and Successful New Year!
