I experimented with it. I was actually able to do it once. One time, I used the sound of a regular dripping of water from our kitchen sink as the tool for taking me into a deeper state. And I could feel myself going down there.

To test it, I used the VERY SOUND OF THE DRIP to verify my state. I told myself that the drip would become softer and softer until I no longer heard it. And to my total surprise, even though I heard everything else with perfect normal hearing, I could NOT hear the drip to save my life.

This state lasted for a few minutes. But later, I was never able to re-create it. The idea of hypnosis just doesn’t do it for me anymore.

In the sixties there were many pople who described themselves as psychonauts - voyagers of the psych. The more famous were Timothy Leary and John C. Lilly. Some use self hypnosis and others psychotropic drugs. The effect was much the same.

You may want to take a look at http://www.UltimateHypnosisDwnloads.com - they have the basic healthy material - but also some more edgy material to do with out of body experiences and past lives. Quite a bit is free.

Have fun.

Hypnosis has been dismissed as a cheap trick by many psychologists. Mesa Grande, the University of New Mexico project that reviews all treatments for alcoholism, says that hypnotism is a poor approach to the problem. What’s far more interesting is the control of mental states found in cognitive therapy and traditional meditation. You can find out how these things have come together in The Mindful Way Through Depression.
