"Patrick Marsolek's Transform Yourself is a well-researched, thorough exploration of this important subject, with more details about many aspects of learning self-hypnosis than I've seen in any book. His user-friendly writing style is engaging and clear. The excellent choice of relevant quotes of wisdom is an appealing feature at the beginning of each chapter and elsewhere. Adding further substance are the detailed appendixes, including definitions of hypnosis, many examples of auto-suggestions, and a complete glossary and bibliography.This is the best new book on self-hypnosis I've seen in years."
- Randal Churchill, Director, Hypnotherapy Training Institute, Author, Regression Hypnotherapy
“I enthusiastically endorse Patrick Marsolek’s Self-hypnosis Manual. This is more than a “how-to” manual. After an orientation to hypnosis, trance, the subconscious, and other relevant subjects, Patrick guides his readers in finding self-hypnosis techniques that work for them. Instead of simply teaching a number of self-hypnosis techniques (like most self-hypnosis manuals), it empowers the learner with an understanding of the induction process and the creation of individualized protocols. Furthermore, the Manual guides the reader through creating specific auto-suggestions to maximize therapeutic results.”
“The Manual also is exceptional in the way that it addresses fears and other hindrances to trance (e.g., beliefs and expectations), stresses the normality and benefits of self-induced trance, provides helpful application techniques (e.g., dealing with pain), discusses each induction technique, and promotes personal confidence in the process.”
“In sum, Patrick gives the requisite understanding and tools to be one’s own best self-hypnosis guide.”
- Whitney Hibbard Ph.D., Author, Forensic Hypnosis
Patrick Marsolek is a master practitioner of the art and science of hypnosis who understands that self-hypnosis is an essential tool for all human beings wishing to fulfill their full potential on all levels - physically, emotionally, mentally and spiritually. In my view, what he has written here is really a user’s manual for those of us seeking a way to higher consciousness as well as a way to basic health and solid groundedness in our chosen and self-discovered selves.”
- Will Michael, Ph.D., Founder and Director of the Institute of Holistic Living.
"Whether you have a simple curiousity or a serious desire to learn about self-hypnosis, Patrick Marsolek's book and included CD of guided exercises, Transform Yourself, A Self-Hypnosis Manual, will work for you. It's as though Patrick is in the room with you, guiding and encouraging you to experience changing your awareness without having to be unaware. As you learn to shift your knowing from exterior to interior insights, you're able to make decisions and changes that are self instigated, not other directed. And, you can do these things in a manner that relaxes you, relieving mental chatter, stress, and anxiety.
"Though the twenty chapters and the six appendices may appear daunting, ignore them. Do the first couple of exercises in the book, use the accompanying CD, and you're on your way. By being coached in using more than just the rational part of your brain's funtioning, you'll find your own pace and comfort level for getting what you want and need to help yourself. It is, however, a matter of doing--some reading but more doing. The more you do, the more you'll find you can do, with Patrick helping all the way."

"Transform Yourself A Self-Hypnosis Manual is one of the best books I have read on the subject of self-hypnosis in some time. Its easy-to-read pages allowed me the opportunity to truly learn the process and techniques of self-hypnosis, rather than focusing on attempting to understand what the book was trying to say, like some other resource materials I have read. This is definitely a book that should be in everyone's library."

Excerpt from the Introduction:
Are old thought patterns, beliefs, or behaviors making your life difficult? Do you know what you want, but have a hard time making it happen? On the other hand, have you ever felt inspired or guided by an inner sense of knowing? Have you had days when you felt absolutely “on” and in control, but have no idea how to create the feeling again?
You can alter or release old, restrictive beliefs and behaviors. You can access your own creative energies and higher intelligence. Welcome to the exciting world of self-hypnosis.
Self-hypnosis is not a mysterious power limited to a few people, but an innate capacity within everyone. Self-hypnosis is a tool for personal transformation that taps into the vast resources of the subconscious mind. The subconscious is already responsible for up to 90% of your mental and physical functioning. Why not use its immense capacities to manifest your goals and dreams? You can become aware of the subconscious potentials within you and use them to transform your life. With self-hypnosis, you cut through the resistance in your conscious awareness and go to the source of your own power and wisdom. You can generate positive thoughts and ideas that have the power to change your physical body, your mind, even your whole life.
Within the practice of self-hypnosis you will learn two important skills; how to intentionally shift your awareness to a different, positive state and how to clarify and manifest a specific intention in your life.
The first skill, shifting of awareness, comes through the process of trance. Trance is a different state of mind that alters your orientation to reality. The change, whether subtle or extreme, gives you a new perspective on your life and the world around you. A new perspective isn’t necessarily better than your original one, but shifting from one to the other expands your awareness and broadens your depth of experience. If your everyday state of mind is self-demeaning, dis-empowering, frustrating, or simply ‘off’ in some way, then shifting to another viewpoint can help you get back on track. Working with trance in self-hypnosis, you intentionally recreate another way of being that serves you better, makes you happier, and leads towards personal fulfillment.
The second major skill you learn is manifesting intention. Effective self-suggestion, visualization, and affirmation are the workhorses of the trance experience. In trance, the ideas, images and feelings you bring to mind literally move you into the experience of your goals and dreams. When you bring an intention to mind, your heart, body, mind and spirit all respond. The suggestions you give yourself send ripples of change out to the farthest, deepest corners of your being. Then, as you return to your normal state, your intentions continue working at a subconscious level, manifesting in delightful and surprising ways. Both the ability to shift your awareness and the ability to manifest your intention will have far-reaching effects in your life. You will discover the uses and benefits of these abilities throughout the course of this book, and experience the rewards of self-hypnosis for yourself.

From Chapter Three
Trance is not simply an “on” or “off” experience. There are many subtle gradations of depth and meaning. If you expected or wanted a more profound or altered experience, then be patient, you will have many opportunities to go deeper.
Self-hypnosis is a skill that takes practice. Whatever shifts you perceived with this first induction are valid trance experiences. By recognizing what happened, you validate your own unique experience. You will expand your sense of trance as you build your self-hypnosis practice. If you felt good and your body was relaxed afterwards, be glad. Self-hypnosis is inherently stress-reducing.
If you experienced other interesting or surprising sensations, take note of them. Unusual or unexpected experiences come directly from the subconscious. Like personal symbols in dreams, anything arising from your subconscious will carry personal meaning. The meaning may not be logical, but it brings forth energy and information from your deeper self. The more you do allow subconscious guidance in trance, the more profound and meaningful your experience of hypnosis will be. If a sensation you encounter feels awkward or a little scary, remind yourself, “This is a phenomena of trance. I’m okay. I am learning from my experiences.”
Here are some comments from students regarding their trance experiences;
“It felt like coming home. I felt good.”
“I had a sense in hypnosis that I could open my eyes and lift my arm if I wanted to. It was almost a reflex thought, like testing. I feel part of learning to allow and experience hypnosis is to also allow these thoughts and impulses to arise. They may even result in movement or physical resistance, but each time my resistance gets less strong as I become more comfortable with it. “
“If only for a few minutes, I felt a calmness. I believe I can return to that state.”
Speaking or thinking to yourself, as you did with this last exercise, is one of the basic elements of self-hypnosis. You tell yourself what you want to do, then lead yourself into the experience. While in trance, you comment on what you are experiencing, add imagery, respond to arising thoughts and feelings, and allow whatever movements come from your subconscious. You will experience body sensations, thoughts, imagery, emotions, memories, and insights arising from within you. You can welcome everything you experience as part of your trance experience.
This last exercise was also more like true self-hypnosis since you started acknowledging the sensations you were having and using them as part of your induction. What was the interesting sensation you focused on during the exercise? By attending to it, and describing it, you validated what your subconscious provided. Then you added a conscious intention to it. This technique is called pacing and leading and is one of the most powerful components of self-hypnosis.
For example, in an induction, you may experience a wide range of changes: your vision may shift; your voice may get softer, or you may feel buzzing or tingling sensations in some part of your body. You may even feel an emotion arising from the subconscious. Some changes may be familiar; some are not. By allowing and pacing with the phenomena, you are saying to your subconscious, “Yes, I’m working with you on this one.” Then, when you lead with a suggestion, your subconscious will also listen to you.
When you notice your breathing slowing down, add a thought, “As my breathing is slowing down, I’m going deeper into trance.” Your suggestion leads you toward your goal. Pacing and leading speeds up your induction into trance because you welcome whatever is happening. I’ll say more about pacing and leading in chapter six. For now, remember; you don’t have to resist anything in self-hypnosis. Self-hypnosis is a process that utilizes and validates everything you are experiencing. In the next chapter you will build on what you’ve started using the first person.
