The Power of Self-Suggestion
Fast and Easy Style

Putting Self-Hypnosis Revolution into practice is fun, and learning the concepts and basic program does not take long. If you've already read my book, Instant Self-Hypnosis: How to Hypnotize Yourself with Your Eyes Open, you know that I'm not long-winded. A primary advantage of using the method in Self-Hypnosis Revolution is that it saves you precious time. So I'm not going to waste your time with drawn-out treatises or case studies. That's not my style. My objective is to get you started with the basic method quickly. In fact:
It's my goal for you to start using the basic method within
approximately one hour from when you begin reading this book.

I believe the ideas and techniques in this book will change the way you look at your everyday existence-forever. Once you understand the principles, you'll have a self-help method that can be put to use at virtually any moment of the day. And what I hope will happen over time is that you'll no longer need this book to put the method into practice. You'll start thinking differently about any activity, and you'll automatically realize its secret underlying significance and how that activity might apply to your life in a positive way.

More About the Author

Who on Earth is Forbes Robbins Blair?

I first became interested in hypnosis when I was a child watching "Scooby Do Where Are You?" Little did I know at the time I would one day become a professional clinical hypnotherapist and author bestselling books on the subject!

Since 1997, I've been an avid practitioner and student of hypnosis, self hypnosis, the Law of Attraction, and metaphysics. A long time ago, I realized that the quality of life is largely determined by our communication with the three aspects of the self: the conscious mind, the subconscious, and the High Self. All of my books and services are designed to improve that communication in some way.

During the very first few weeks in my professional hypnotherapy career, I stumbled onto a way to hypnotize yourself with your eyes open while reading out loud. I developed it into a reliable method which became my first book, "Instant Self-Hypnosis: How to Hypnotize Yourself with Your Eyes Open."

A couple of years later I made a second hypnosis-related discovery about turning everyday activities into powerful self-empowerment rituals. That led to a second book, "Self-Hypnosis Revolution: The Amazingly Simple Way to Use Self-Hypnosis to Change Your Life." I'm very proud of this books technique and message, as it uses what are called "natural trances" to get results, rather than formal or traditional trances.

I've also developed a very imaginative and powerful way to use the Law of Attraction, featured in my ebook, "The Genie Within: Your Wish is Granted." It shows you how to use an actual genie lamp to help manifest desires. It really works!

My latest work is "MORE Instant Self Hypnosis: Hypnotize Yourself as You Read." It's a sequel to the original book and has all new scripts and updated discoveries. It's good for both those who are new to the method and to those who've read the first book.

The only time I come out with a book or program is when I have something new to offer my readers. I like to experiment a lot, so I tend to make a lot of interesting discoveries. And I always make sure to put things in ordinary language, because those are the kinds of books I like to read (unless it's a great work of fiction).

This review is from: Self-Hypnosis Revolution: The Amazingly Simple Way to Use Self-Hypnosis to Change Your Life (Paperback)

This is by far one of the best self-hypnosis books on the market, especially for someone like me. I'm a pre-med student and a lot of times when I do mundane tasks such as cleaning or even exercising, it feels as though I'm wasting time I could be using to study. I become anxious whenever I do things that I feel are a "waste of time". However, with this book I'm now able to change those same chores and make them fun and feel useful. I'm only on the second day of using this program, but now chores that I used to hate doing are actually exciting and fulfilling! Imagine that, I now enjoy cleaning my room. Not only that, but the anxious feeling is gone and I'm looking foward to postive changes. Great book!

5.0 out of 5 stars Blair's Zen Revolution...How Your Ordinary Can Make You Extraordinary, July 30, 2007

This review is from: Self-Hypnosis Revolution: The Amazingly Simple Way to Use Self-Hypnosis to Change Your Life (Paperback)

I was and am so enormously impressed by what I read in Forbes Blair's second book, "Self-Hypnosis Revolution". Unlike most of the reviewers I am actually one of Forbes's very satisfied clients. A couple of months ago out of the blue, I contacted him for a session and found out he was an author too! I immediately got and read both of his books the same day! The first, "Instant Self-Hypnosis", was a great read.

But the second book was a total surprise! It was completely different from his first book and I dare say from any other "self-hypnosis" book you're liable to ever read ever. As I read and read "Self-Hypnosis Revolution" I realized this book really wasn't about hypnosis per se as it was about the connection between what we do everyday as ordinary tasks and how we see what is this ordinary to create an extraordinary life! WOW I thought, this is actually more like a Zen concept than a self-hypnosis technique!

The question this book answered for me without any drama and so succinctly with the Zen twist is, "How can I make real on-going self-improvement from exactly where I am right now with what I have? I admit I did get goosebumps when I finally got the simple answer to that question. And when I did get the answer I thought, "Could it really be that simple, though?" As we go about our daily tasks, everyday jobs, errands, life activities, daily chores and the like we can effortlessly begin to weave the deeper meaning of it all? Well Forbes says Yes!

Forbes' methods expose how truly simple it can be to transmute the ordinary meaning of ANY daily human activity into a powerful catalyst for life changes but the ultimate beauty of his work is in transforming the mundane activities. Those things we do that always seem to be in the way of getting the REALLY important things done.

Even in the first few hours of using his methods I could feel a jump start in rejuvenating and reprogramming the love of my life; the small, the big, the boring, the exciting, regardless of what type of activity I was engaged at any time. And then, the real significance of "Self-Hypnosis Revolution" blasted through me: EVERYTHING we do as humans and a human community is sacred, and when we treat our life experiences that way then EVERYTHING changes for the better!

This book will help you as it did me to find peace, joy and `opportunity for personal empowerment' regardless of where you are or what you're doing.

What Forbes accomplished so easily is to help you make changes in your life that you can live with and more importantly he shows you HOW to do that in just a few minutes a day. So again how does Blair suggest making self improvements? Do it in a way that allows you to start with your ordinary because your ordinary IS extraordinary!

This review is from: Self-Hypnosis Revolution: The Amazingly Simple Way to Use Self-Hypnosis to Change Your Life (Paperback)

I read the first half and applied the easy to use principles right away.

This is amazing. This makes your mundane tasks or stuff you may not want to do, powerful and meaningful in life. If you give it an honest try you will be amazed.

I am not a SPIRITUAL NEW AGEY type person. I don't believe in new age blah blah, but self hypnosis is really a way of controlling your thoughts in a powerful way and using the power of relaxation and focus to direct your life in the right way.

YOUR THOUGHTS will determine where you go and what you do in life. Whether you are happy or sad, or successful and confident or doubtful and weak.

The tools in this book are very UNIQUE, I've never seen anything like this and I read all the time. The is an original idea and putting it into practice the first time was a 9.5 on a scale of 1 to 10. I am sure if I use this on many many activities my life will never be the same because my thoughts will be taking me in a new direction.

Thoughts are things.

Good luck.
