Self Hypnosis Techniques

As the term suggests, self-hypnosis is a technique in which a person hypnotizes himself or herself. It’s actually a naturally occurring state of mind that can be said as a heightened state of concentration (trance), with the compliance to follow suggestive commands. In fact, it’s a great remedy to purge out deep-laid emotions and boost the self-esteem of the hypnotized person. Moreover, self-hypnosis is a brilliant way to relax and lighten up. To perform self-hypnosis, one is required to focus so as to become fully hypnotized.

 

Though there are many computer programs available in the market to help in self-hypnosis, a few have been verified to assist in this area. To gain full control of your mind, there are numerous self hypnosis techniques that can be learnt and applied on yourself. Given here are simple techniques or method that can be altered to suit your requirements. However, the self-hypnosis technique is the same as used by the hypnosis therapists. You just have to be aware about the statements you program into your sub-conscious mind. Thus, take your time and choose these statements judiciously.

 

The very first thing that you have to decide is the reason behind the self-hypnosis i.e. what exactly you’re trying to find out or achieve? Once you have defined your goal, you must adhere to this goal with the self hypnosis session. Don’t select more than one goal at a time and resist the persuasion of solving all your problems in one go. You wouldn’t be able to do this, instead it will create even more problems by trying that. Now, it’s time to ponder about what will be the statements or suggestions you’re going to insert into your sub-conscious mind?

 

Your statements must be positive and represent something good. Never use suggestions like “I’m going to learn swimming no matter how scared I am of water”. Such statement will only make you even more scared. Steer clear of all negative words when you devise your suggestions and replace them with positive words like “I really look forward to swimming and thus have underwater pleasure”. The suggestions you devise must be easy to memorize.

 

Whatever you want to be, write it down and jot down the reasons why you want to become this or why you want to attain this goal. You must also write what you expect will happen when you attain it. Every time you repeat the statement, envisage that you thrive to strengthen the message in your sub-conscious mind. It’s also significant that the suggestions you formulate are short, direct and specific like “I will definitely swim”.

 

When you perform self hypnosis, ensure that you do not get disturbed. For this, you can switch off the phone, lock the doors and make yourself absolutely comfortable. You can lay on a bed or sit on a chair with you back straight.
