Read through the Dave Elman Book

Hypnotherapy, and it is absolutely fantastic. However, I see nowhere in the book where it explains self hypnosis? Is there a possiblity to use his techniques for self hypnosis? He talks about practicing autosuggestion and autohypnosis 50 times a day, and believe me if he explained how to do it, I would, but there is no place where he mentions WHAT to do. If anyone has any idea, I would love the help.

Dave Elman was a trainer. He trained doctors.
The book is mostly his training notes from the 1930s and 1940s.

Since he was training doctors to use hypnosis with their patients, there wasn't much need for self-hypnosis.

Practice makes perfect {1930s hypno-belief}, so Mr. Elman stressed practicing.

The *best* method of self-hypnosis is to have someone teach you and guide you to the various experiences.

Merlin if I say please will you try and teach me? I am starving to learn, I love to learn and am eager to practice self hypnosis but have no idea how to get into a state of somnambulism. I practiced 20 or so times with a beach type induction script. I would love to learn how to induce somnambulism in 2 or fewer minutes.
