Have you ever tried to hypnotize yourself?

I came across self-hypnosis while I was exploring some spiritual subjects after the AI disruption, when I wasn’t really finding much online work. I found that some religious and spiritual traditions discuss practices involving breath control and deep concentration, which reminded me of self-hypnosis.

I’m not really sure what exactly you’re looking to find out or understand about it in your case, though.

I’ve never tried it myself. Does self-hypnosis actually work for things like focus or relaxation?

I would do this as a relaxation technique if it was possible. Very interesting neuroscience, I'm sure.

Do shrooms count?
