How to Hypnotize Yourself

Learn how to hypnotize yourself to experience relaxation and greater focused awareness.

Self-hypnosis is much more than a stage-trick!

Hypnosis is characterized by a focused awareness of the mind, a decreased awareness of the external situation (trance state) and a greater susceptibility towards suggestions or instructions (suggestibility).

Learning how to hypnotize yourself involves relaxing your body and mind and then suggesting positive statements of change that you want from yourself.

These positive statements of change may involve areas such as:

• being more relaxed,
• building self confidence and self-esteem,
• becoming more motivated,
• reducing your stress and anxiety,
• developing your pain management skills,
• eating healthy and starting or maintaining your weight loss.

Hypnosis can also be used to give up smoking or to control stress related problems such as high blood pressure.

This video explain how hypnosis can work for you!

Some simple steps to self-hypnosis involve:

1. Find a quite area in which you won't be disturbed and sit or lie down in a comfortable position.
2. Close your eyes and attempt to relax your body, taking a few deep breaths. Try to reduce your feelings of stress, fear and anxiety. Sometimes thoughts may intrude, simply view them impartially and allow them to float away.
3. You may notice tension in your body, visualize the tension seeping out of your body.
4. Take slow calming breaths and relax your body. Feel your body in a deep sense of relaxation. If you have trouble to reach a full state of relaxation, try methods of progressive muscle relaxation or breathing exercises to get you there.
5. At this point, speak in future tense about the issue that you are concerned about. Try to avoid negative statements (such as "I don't want to be stressed and irritable"), rather focusing on positive statements such as "I am becoming relaxed and calm". Try to phrase your statements in a positive way.
6. Repeat you statement to yourself as many times as you like.
7. Now count to 10 to come out of your deep relaxation. When you reach 10 you will be in a normal state of consciousness in which you will be calm and relaxed.
8. Open your eyes and take a few moments to enjoy the serene filling before getting up.
