Top 5 tips for self hypnosis
Self hypnosis is a practice that essentially concentrates the
mind on certain topics of your choice. It is regularly used to
stop smoking, eat less and achieve personal goals. By
concentrating our mind and imagining senses, thoughts and even
images we can persuade our conscious and subconscious mind. By
doing this we can easily tell ourselves that we do not need a
cigarette or persuade ourselves that we don't need to eat as
much as we do. Self hypnosis can be used for many different
things including to conquer fears or to overcome self doubt. It
can even be used to quit habits and generally improve our
outlook on daily life.
1- The first and most vital step towards self hypnosis is
research and learning. You should find out as much as you
possibly can on the subject so that you know what it is and what
to expect. Without this knowledge it is very unlikely you will
be able to make it work in any way. The Internet is a vast
resource on many topics and self hypnosis is in no way an
exception to this rule.
2- As you improve at self hypnosis you will discover the exact
method that works best for you but you need to be able to go
into self hypnosis. Doing this without any guidance can be
difficult. First of all, when you are beginning, you should find
a quiet and peaceful place to sit. You are best not trying it
led down to begin with because you may fall asleep. Falling
asleep isn't a bad thing but it isn't self hypnosis.
3- A mantra are personal words or sayings that you should
quietly repeat to yourself while trying to self hypnotize. They
will help you concentrate your mind. You should think about
nothing but these words while you are saying them, this way you
can relax your brain.
4- Tell each part of your body to relax. Start from your toes
and work upwards. It is very important that you do this because
you need to relax your entire body. Once you've done this you
should 'walk' to your special place. Count each step and use the
same amount of steps each time you self hypnotize. This will
also help you concentrate your mind. Once you're there you can
begin your self talk.
5- When you've finished you need to count yourself out of self
hypnosis. You do this by telling yourself you have had a
fantastic relaxation and you are going to count up from one to
five. Tell yourself that when you reach five you will be relaxed
and fresh.
