The short answer would be no.
If you find it necessary to repeat the command, that would indicate you're not in a highly suggestible state (hypnagogic state)
Theoretically speaking you are bypassing the conscious and dealing directly with the unconscious.
It's not necessary to repeat the command.
I guess you could use repetition of the command as a crude method of hypnotic induction?
However the most successful inductions are tailored to your own personal psychological profile.
It will either be physical, emotional, or intellectual.
Next you need to test your hypnotic*induction as to its efficacy.
You can referred to another post I did on how to construct a test.
Titled, "Lucid dreaming, astral projection and self hypnosis method."
The point I was really trying to make in my previous post.
Was what a mantra*is and what they're used for.
For example you can't say "a cow jumped over the moon" and call that a mantra.
The word *OM is a *mantra, because if you do it correctly it will set up a vibration (in your brain )*that alters your consciousness.
