Self Hypnosis is a heightened state that naturally occurs in the mind of an individual when done properly.
As long as the concentration is focused and he or she is willing to follow the instructions listed below.
1.
It all begins with going to a comfortable and private place.
Secure yourself in a comfortable couch or chair.
Some people choose to lie down but that increases the possibility of falling asleep, as opposed to just sitting down.
Whether it be lying or sitting down, just make sure that your legs are not crossed or any part of your body is slouching.
This will only make that part of your body feel uncomfortable.
2.
Make sure that no one will disturb you in the next 30 minutes.
Close your eyes and get rid of any thoughts or feelings that give you anxiety, stress or fear.
When you start, it might be very hard not to think.
These thoughts keep invading your concentration.
When this start happening, do not let these thoughts out.
Think about them without biases and then they will slowly go away.
3.
If there is tension in your body, recognize it.
Discover where these could be.
Imagine that they are slowly vanishing.
Imagine that your body is slowly becoming lighter.
Chances are if you're doing this properly, you will feel relaxed.
You can also do this by taking deep and slow breaths.
After each exhales, you would notice that the negativity and the tension disappear.
4.
At this point, you will be in a very relaxed state.
Imagine that you are at the top of flight of stairs and when you reach the last step, you will submerge into water.
Imagine each detail in the room.
Count down the steps.
Feel the coldness of the water.
Once you are submerged, feel the prick of the liquid in your skin.
At this point, you are already numb.
Your heart will race a bit.
Let your thoughts and emotions drift in the water.
This is a normal state in self-hypnosis.
5.
Don't be afraid because it is all right to not feel anything.
Just make yourself float and spin.
Once you have reached this state, then you are doing the process of self-hypnosis properly.
Proceed and address your problems.
You can decide what you want to do.
Start talking to yourself.
Picture that there are three boxes that you have to swim in order to reach.
Once you found the boxes, open these and talk to yourself.
Tell yourself what you want to be and what you don't want to be.
6.
Narrate these sentences to yourself.
Twice or thrice is enough.
Once you are done, imagine yourself swimming up again to the stairs.
Once you are out of the water, you will feel heavy.
This is normal.
Just continue repeating to yourself what you said earlier.
Do this until you feel lighter.
7.
Take your time.
Do not open your eyes immediately.
Visualize yourself going back to that room where you did your self-hypnosis.
Imagine the light slowly engulfing the room so that when you open your eyes, it wouldn't be that bright.
It also helps telling yourself that you feel better.
When you do open your eyes, you will be smiling at the thought that self-hypnosis did you good and you are able to confront your fear, anxiety, and stress with a whole new attitude.
By thinking these thoughts and feeling lighter, your mind will be in a better state.
You will be refreshed and feel relaxed.
