Self-Hypnosis (How Many use it?)

[Iceman]

"These mental skills parallel what one feels when one is in a hypnotic state. The zone can be thought of as an altered state of mind. Many bowlers find that when they master self-hypnosis, they are better..."

So the question is, how many people have used self hypnosis or currently using it for their bowling?

I admit, I have used them and still do while in route to a tournament. I usually don't drive, my wife does so i can listen and relax. I do feel more confident about my abilities afterwards - but wonder how much of it is subliminal.

I have 2 bowling audio self hypnosis mp3's which I did purchase (I was suckered in when I was slumping horribly) - and I can almost repeat 1 of them in my head. I do use phrases from one when I'm on the approach - I even started tilting my head towards my mark - makes me feel zoned in on my target and go.

Never heard of it. I always visualize my approach, my release, and the ball going where I want it....I stare down my mark too. I do that before every throw, it helps me get in the zone

It seems like I'm always in a trance when I'm bowling

The slef hypnosis I speak of are like self help audio books.
