If you are just starting to practice self-hypnosis it might take you longer to get yourself into the hypnotic state. This is to be expected because essentially you are re-training your mind to “behave” according to how you want it and since this is a new experience for your brain, you will naturally encounter some “resistance”. But don’t worry; I have outlined some steps to get you into the right state of mind.
• Learn to relax both your mind and your body - Take a warm bath to loosen up your muscles and to make you feel refreshed.
• Let go of your thoughts – Clear your mind of daily cares and worries and open your mind to being hypnotized. Do not get frustrated when you encounter difficulties in emptying your mind of your usual thoughts, it is really harder than people think. With practice you will soon get it right.
• Visualize yourself being calm and relaxed – If you find it hard to clear your thoughts then focus instead on picturing yourself slowly becoming more and more calm and relaxed with each passing breath.
• Make a suggestion - This is where you tell your subconscious to act in the way you want it to. This is when you retrain your mind to help you achieve the goals you have set out for yourself. If you want to lose weight, picture yourself already having lost weight. Suggest that you will only eat when you are really hungry, not when you are frazzled with other emotions that have nothing to do with physical hunger.
• Awaken to a new you – Will yourself to awaken from the hypnotic state back to the conscious state. Awaken to the belief and the feeling that you have indeed achieved the purpose of the hypnotic session
Practice self-hypnosis daily and soon you will be able to hypnotize yourself anytime and anywhere
