Self-hypnosis is a highly suggestible state wherein the individual can direct suggestions to himself. It’s easy to figure out that the process involves providing yourself with suggestions, rather than receiving them from another person.
These autosuggestions are more readily accepted by your ego because you’ve already put yourself into a state of light trance. And what about that trancelike state?
Erika Fromm and several colleagues, in their 1981 article The phenomena and characteristics of self-hypnosis, compared self hypnosis and hypnosis by another, or “hetero-hypnosis”. They found that both exhibited absorption, or the complete occupation and focus of the mind, as well as a fading of the usual orientation to general reality. Where hetero-hypnosis clearly required concentration on an outside source (the hypnotist) and receptiveness to stimuli coming from that source, self hypnosis required “expansive, free-floating attention and ego receptivity to stimuli coming from within.” The trance state, then, would be a feeling of detachment from general reality, and an expansive attention to what comes from within.
