Instructions For Using Self Hypnosis

This is a reference for anyone who wishes to try self hypnosis.

It is important to prepare yourself for self hypnosis by having a goal in mind. Form a statement that sums-up your goal and make it into an affirmation. Use the first person and make the statement express your goal as though it were already a fact. "I am slim" or "I am my ideal weight", are two good examples.

When you are ready to enter self hypnosis go to a comfortable spot that is quiet. Use a chair or lie in a comfortable place. Take a deep breathe over a five second period and release it over another five seconds.

Close your eyes and just allow your thoughts to wander. Observe them only, do not judge or try to stop them. Begin to relax all the muscles in your body starting at your feet. Tense them and then relax them several times until you can feel the difference between the tension and relaxation. Continue to perform these tension and relaxation exercises all the way up your body to your head.

After your self hypnosis tension and relaxation exercises are complete visualize a set of 10 stairs in front of you. As you climb down the stairs count backwards, in your mind, from 10 down to 1.

At the bottom of the stairs you find a door leading out of the darkness. This door leads you to a tranquil place that puts you at ease and makes you feel even more relaxed.

After you have found a good spot to rest in your mental scene begin to say, internally, your pre-written affirmation. The self hypnosis state will ensure that this affirmation enters the subconscious mind and becomes a program to be followed.

At this time you can also allow yourself to imagine what it will be like when you have achieved your desired result. Really get into it and, most importantly of all, enjoy it! To many people this feels like they are having a day-dream but in reality they are reprogramming their subconscious mind for success through th epower of self hypnosis.

Once you have been in this self hypnosis state for about 10 minutes count up from 1 to 10. Once you reach 10 say the words, "wide awake" and rise into a normal state.

You are now finished your self hypnosis session.

You can get ready made self hypnosis recordings on CD and MP3 which incorporate the latest sound and behavioural technologies. If you chose to use one just be sure you get one from a reliable certified hypnotist!

Many people prefer the experience of totally letting-go of all responsibly during their self hypnosis sessions, as this can deepen the trance state and heightened the post-hypnotic suggestions.
