The answer to that question, is positively and emphatically …YES!!

 

As a qualified NLP practitioner and a keen golfer currently playing off a handicap of 12,

I ALWAYS use some form of self hypnosis when I’m playing golf.

 

  • How many times have you let mean ‘self talk’ lose you a golf game?
  • Do you get frustrated easily when your golf swing doesn’t feel quite right?
  • Do you leave the course thinking you would rather have done ANYTHING than play golf?

 

All these thoughts take up SO much energy and create totally unnecessary stress, just imagine what a difference it would make to your golf game if you could channel your energy and learn to make POSITIVE self talk work FOR you rather than AGAINST.

 

Can ANYONE use self hypnosis to improve their golf game?

 

How many times have you “woken up” from a daydream and found that:

  • You’re driving the car on a familiar journey and you can’t quite remember getting where you are
  • It’s the middle of the night , you’ve totally lost track of time and you’re still reading that book you got engrossed in last evening
  • You’re so engrossed in a film or sports programme on television and were completely oblivious to the fact that someone in the room is asking you a question.

 

If the answer to any of these questions is yes, you have been in a naturally occurring trance and have been consciously pre-occupied with one task while unconsciously carrying out another. When you are in a trance, it’s totally different to being unconscious, you feel extremely relaxed and calm, but fully aware of what is going on around you.

You know the feeling of when you first wake up and stay lying down in your lovely cosy bed? That is how it feels to be in a trance, your mind is clear and open to suggestion without all the thoughts and stresses of daily life cluttering up your mind. That is the beauty of golf hypnosis, you don’t have to consciously THINK about it, it just happens internally and naturally.

We learn behaviours and habits consciously, then our unconscious mind automates them and keeps them on autopilot so that we do not have to think about doing them.

Do you remember how it feels to play golf JUST after you’ve had a golf lesson and you are consciously trying to remember all the things the Pro told you to remember. Your thoughts might be: head down,  take it back in one piece, not too fast, keep your head still, keep your weight on the right or left side, etc etc.

It was amazing that you could still hit the ball at all with all those thoughts cluttering up your mind !

As a comparison, do you remember a day when you played GREAT GOLF and everything worked the way it should?

You probably didn’t think of your swing at all, you stepped back, lined up your shot, saw the shape in your mind and struck the ball freely, the ball left your club as light as a feather with the shape you had imagined it to be?

Golf should be like this when you take out all the swing thoughts and just let it flow.

AND THAT….is where Golf Hypnosis comes in !

How does Golf Hypnosis work ?

While you lay back and drift off into a lovely relaxed state, you will put on headphones and listen to a hypnosis CD or MP3 sound file that has been developed by a qualified and experienced hypnotherapist. I review several golf hypnotherapy downloads on my website Exploring-Hypnotherapy.com and each one will focus on a different skill of golf, you might want to work on visualising your drive off the first tee, steadying your putting for a few sessions, developing a general feeling of being a winner or even developing and growing an inner sense of calm and self belief in yourself and your golfing abilities.

Each session is incredibly relaxing and you open your eyes feeling extremely positive and calm, you might not notice any difference at the time but you will be amazed how words and thoughts from your golf hypnosis session will just float ‘out of nowhere’ up from your subconscious mind just at the right time.

What have you to lose apart from your negative thoughts,REPLACE them with positive thoughts and feelings that will float into your mind just when you need them the most.

Golf hypnosis downloads and CDs are an easy way of transforming your golf mental processes !
