During my practice, I hypnotized many people and used to give them post-hypnotic suggestions to solve their problems. Few of them wanted to have a post-hypnotic suggestion by which they can hypnotize themselves. i.e to get into the trance kind of state through Self-hypnosis.
Self hypnosis in simple words is hypnotizing yourself to change you, the way you want to be. You can change your thinking for your betterment, you can change your life style, you can get rid of mental and also physical disorders.It is an answer to anxiety, stress, depression and lot other problems related to mind. It can reduce your weight without any workouts !
Most important thing is that it relaxes you.
There are few things you have to remember and do which helps you to step into the self hypnosis state.
Preparation
First explain to yourself what is the thing that you want to achieve through self hypnosis. It may be to get rid of a headache or may be to improve your memory or anything for that matter. Let the reason be clear.
Wear comfortable clothes. Select a suitable place where you won`t be disturbed. Select a comfortable chair to sit or may be a bed to lie down. But sitting is preferred as you may get into sleep when you lie down.
Write a small black dot on the wall which shall be visible to you from your sitting position and should be at least four to five feet above your eye level.
Beginners may have to dedicate at least twenty to thirty minutes to do this exercise.
The technique
If you know about Yoga and meditation techniques it will be easier for you to get self hypnotized.
Relax your body, close your eyes...observe your body from inside.Focus your attention on your toes, gradually shift the focus from toes towards head imagining as if a light or energy is passing through the whole body. Let the travel inside be in detail and slow.
Now open your eyes.. look at the black dot drawn an the wall without blinking your eyes. As you look at the dot, count back from hundred to one. Breath in and breath out slowly. While focusing on the dot you feel that your eyelids are becoming heavier and heavier. At one stage your eye lids closes automatically.
Now feel the world inside.Try to visualize the things you like. Try to include your sense organs, for example if you are visualizing sun set at a beach, try to visualize that in detail..feel the cool breeze..listen to the sounds of the waves..look at the vibrant colors on the sky. Yes !! you are in the beach !
You can try one more experiment. Imagine that your body is becoming lighter and lighter.. so light.. it becomes as light as a feather..feel that it is moving slowly upwards... you can see the world from above..watch it as if you are watching it from an Aeroplane... Yes !! you are flying.
Once you finish the exercise, count back from ten to one. Instruct your mind to wake up slowly as you count back.
Once you master the visualization techniques, you can suggest your mind whatever you want to achieve.
I shall explain you how Self hypnosis can help to solve other problems in my future posts.
