Continuing from my last post...
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
The only contact the hypnotist has had with the subject is through his mind.
The reason the subject cannot move his arm, then, is that he believes the hypnotist.
It may seem silly that he believes he cannot move his arm simply because a few words were spoken to him, but the words were spoken with such conviction that he does believe it, despite all logic to the contrary.
If you are convinced that you cannot sleep for some reason or other, you have more or less hypnotized yourself, illogical though it may seem, just as the subject in the above example hypnotized himself into believing that he could not move his arm.
Actually you can sleep as well as anyone in the world, and all you have to do is believe it. You may have said negatively to yourself, "I can't sleep because my husband isn't home," or "I can't sleep because the neighbors are noisy," or "I can't sleep because I am worrying about the mortgage.
" It isn't the half-empty bed, the noise or the mortgage which really keeps you awake; it is just your belief that they do.
