About Practical Guide to Self-Hypnosis, A by Melvin Powers (1922 - )
A Practical Guide to Self-Hypnosis by Melvin Powers is a straightforward introduction to the principles and practice of using hypnosis on oneself for relaxation, concentration, habit change, and personal improvement. The book explains self-hypnosis as a focused mental state in which attention becomes more concentrated and suggestions can be absorbed more effectively. Powers presents the subject in a practical way, emphasizing that self-hypnosis does not require mysterious powers or loss of control. Instead, it depends on relaxation, repetition, imagination, and the ability to direct one’s thoughts deliberately. Readers are guided through methods for entering a hypnotic state, using verbal and mental suggestions, and gradually deepening concentration. The book also discusses how suggestions should be phrased so they are clear, positive, realistic, and connected to specific goals. Powers explores several possible applications of self-hypnosis, including reducing nervous tension, strengthening confidence, improving concentration, developing better habits, and increasing motivation. He also explains the importance of regular practice, since the techniques become easier and more effective as familiarity grows. A major theme of the book is the influence of repeated thoughts and expectations on behavior. Rather than presenting hypnosis as a magical solution, Powers encourages readers to use it as a structured tool for directing attention and reinforcing constructive patterns of thought. The book also addresses common misconceptions about hypnosis and attempts to show that a hypnotized person remains aware and retains personal control throughout the process.
