Self-Hypnosis - Everything You Need To Know About It
Self-hypnosis can provide a fantastic way to get your mind on the right track and relieve you of the anxieties that weigh you down. But how do you know when it's time to make a change? Maybe your fear has led to insomnia or another disorder, or it’s just an ongoing source of stress or anxiety. Or maybe there are certain habits you want to get rid of, like smoking cigarettes or overeating.
The first step is figuring out whether self-hypnosis is right for you. Despite what the name might suggest, self-hypnosis is not some sort of hypnosis involving a hypnotist. It's simply a guided state where your mind helps you perform better on a task or reach a goal.
You start by preparing yourself mentally to enter the trance-like state. You also choose an appropriate time and place to relax, think yourself into a trance, and then go about your tasks or engage in your activities.
If you're trying to quit smoking, you might practice self-hypnosis every day. You might clear your mind and then imagine a cigarette coming toward you in slow motion while you relax and let your hands rest at your sides as if they were dangling. After the cigarette comes past you, imagine that it's gone and then hold your hands up in the air as if victorious; all of this is just one purpose of hypnosis.
Some people use self-hypnosis to help them eat better. Many times, a person will make a plan for their day and set up a trigger point where they need to change some of their habits. The person can then go about the day without worrying about how they're going to fit in those healthy choices because their mind is ready for the changes. Maybe you're trying to quit smoking, but before you head off for work, you go over some mental triggers for your habits that might help you quit.
For instance, when you get in the shower, you might visualize yourself putting down your pack of cigarettes and never picking it up again. You could also picture yourself placing that pack in a trash bin or on a fire so that you don't want to smoke anymore.
The next step is preparation: deciding what you want to do, how to do it, and making sure that you're comfortable with the process.
Then, you must get yourself into the right frame of mind. You'll want to set aside a quiet time when you know that you're not going to be disturbed. Lie down in a comfortable position, with your eyes closed if possible. You may find that it's easier to relax if you don't wear any clothing or remove anything from your pockets.
Next, focus on your breathing. Simply breathe slowly and deeply until you feel yourself relaxing more and more. You might even find that you want to take a nice nap or go for a long walk in the park.
Once you feel comfortable and relaxed, it's time to get yourself into the trance state. This means slowly breathing in and out; trying not to think about anything or jump around in your mind. Just let go of any thoughts and focus on your breathing.
If you're on the road and are passing through a busy intersection, try not to think about what's going on or what street you're on. You can even try to count backward from 10 if you want to give yourself something else to do.
When you feel yourself getting more still, that's a good sign. Try slowing your breathing even further and feel your body becoming heavier and heavier. Eventually, your mind will begin to relax more and more and it will be easier for you to start counting backward from 10 again.
As you hear yourself counting, try not to think about anything else. Just focus on your breathing and count backward. Sometimes practitioners of self-hypnosis will have you count up to 100 or even 200 if they want to get even more relaxed.
Eventually, you may find that it's harder for you to count backward and harder for your mind to relax further still. That's not a problem; just slow the process down until you can resume normal breathing and counting. If there is no change after a certain number of repetitions, try slowing down again until you've reached the state that you want to be in.
You can also use other positive triggers to get yourself into a more relaxed state, such as imagining music or a pleasant scent of your choice. When you take these steps, it will make it easier for you to slip into self-hypnosis and get the things that you need done in your life done more easily and quickly.
