Alert, Eyes-Open Sport Hypnosis.
American Journal of Clinical Hypnosis 2018 October
Sport hypnosis (SH) is a form of alert hypnosis defined by mental training procedures based on three techniques in combination: eyes-open hypnosis, traditional eyes-closed hypnosis, and self-hypnosis. The self-hypnotic state is operationally defined as the imagined "inner mental room" (IMR). The main purpose of SH is to produce the sport hypnotic state (SHS), or the flow state, a form of alert hypnosis. Another purpose of SHS is also to allow a user to initiate and release specific posthypnotic effects. These effects are designed to enhance the user's performance and well-being as an athlete. The SHS can be induced through rhythmic athletic activities and by posthypnotic signals (triggers). Performance in SHS happens in a flow state, an alternative state of consciousness which increases results despite decreased effort (relaxed effectiveness). Reports from Olympic Games champions show the importance of SHS training for peak performance. SH techniques can also be applied in other areas in the quest for excellence.
