Self Hypnotize Yourself
Probably one of the easiest ways to hypnotize yourself is to lie down, relax and "think" through the hypnosis procedure outlined below.
Sit or lie down. It doesn't matter which so long as you're comfortable. It should be somewhere you're not likely to be disturbed and obviously you shouldn't be doing anything that needs you to concentrate, such as driving or operating machinery. Turn your mobile phone off or set it to silent.
Take a few long, deep breaths. Fill your lungs completely, but don't make yourself uncomfortable in the process. Then hold your breath for a second or so if it's comfortable for you to do this. Finally, slowly breathe out until your lungs are empty. Repeat this process a few times and allow your eyes to close when it feels right for them to do so.
Once you've become relaxed, deepen your hypnotic state by counting backwards slowly from 10 down to 1. As you count backwards, visualize yourself stepping down a step in a flight of stairs. And tell yourself that with each step, you're dropping deeper into your hypnotic trance. By the time you reach the final step, you'll be in a deep, deep trance and you can then start to address the issue you want to work on.
The issue you work on whilst you're in hypnosis can be anything you like. It could be a deep rooted fear, some kind of worry, a lack of confidence or any other area of your life that you want to work on. Or you could just use the hypnosis session to relax and maybe explore a forest or a beach or even another planet. Your imagination is the only limiting factor here!
If you're tackling an issue, the easiest way is to use something called "future pacing". All this means is that your subconscious will find it easier to believe something that's in the future as it doesn't contradict what you already know. So if you want to lose weight, you'd visualize yourself in three months time and see the new, slimmer you.
Make sure that anything you tell yourself is positive. Our minds don't work well with negatives, so it pays to avoid them in the different things you tell yourself. It pays to work out what you're going to tell yourself before you enter your hypnotic trance – read it a few times so that you begin to memorize the words. Don't worry if you're not word perfect so long as you get across the meaning of what you're working on.
Repeat these affirmations a few times so that your subconscious gets the hang of them.
If you can add pictures or sounds or smells to the process, that's even better. Our minds can't tell the difference between something that's real and something that's vividly imagined. If you don't believe me on this, think back to when you last jumped out of your seat or started crying when you watched a movie.
Then it's simply a matter of bringing yourself back out of your hypnotic trance. Count forwards from 1 through to 10, allowing yourself to stretch and feel more awake as the numbers get higher. Allow your eyes to open at the end of the counting sequence if they haven't opened as you are counting up.
That's it!
