How To Use Self Hypnosis To Achieve The Seemingly Unacheivable.

Self hypnosis can be used to change a great many things in your life. You can use self hypnosis to remove negative emotions associated with bad memories. You can use self hypnosis to remove negative beliefs and create new ones and you can also use self hypnosis to achieve goals!So, if self hypnosis is so powerful how come some people don't get results from it?

For the most part it is because they are not using self hypnosis in the right way!

You must form a goal before you enter self hypnosis or your results will be extremely limited. Self hypnosis is an extremely powerful tool but like any tool you must be using it correctly and for the right job! Set a goal for your self hypnosis session so you know what you want to get from it.

You should have a clear understanding of what you want to gain from using self hypnosis. Write down a statement that encapsulates your intention. This will become the goal you will use during your self hypnosis sessions.

Once you are clear on your self hypnosis goal word it positively. Do not state what you do not want or state the things that you are trying to get rid of! For self hypnosis you must state your intention in only positive terms. For example, writing "I don't get embarrassed when speaking in public" is not the way to word a goal. It keeps you focused on what you don't want. "I am confident and at ease speaking in public" is much more positive and keeps you focused on what you do want.

The mind works with images! To illustrate this point I would like you to think of your kitchen. Where is the cooker? Do you have a refrigerator? What colour is it? Does the door open to the left or the right?

To answer any of these questions you have to recall the image of what you are thinking about.

Always make statements that force your mind to think in positive pictures. Instead of stating "I no longer get embarrassed in public" state "I am always confident, at ease and calm in public"

By following this advice you ensure that the only picture your mind forms are positive. During self hypnosis, when you recall these pictures, you are instructing your subconscious mind to help you create them.

Now that you have your written statement that outlines what you want from your self hypnosis sessions you can get more specific. By creating a specific, detailed, image of what you want you can re-program your mind using it during a self hypnosis session.

To do this simple read out your statement and allow your mind to form a picture of what you are saying. Note how imagining that makes you feel. Now play with the picture a little. Change details of it until you are aware of your feelings becoming more intense. Try to form a picture that evokes strong positive emotion. If this is something that you really want then creating pictures that evoke strong positive emotions should be hard.

The mental image that you just created will become a program for your subconscious mind to follow. You will literally reprogram your subconscious mind with this image in your self hypnosis session.

There are a multitude of great self hypnosis recordings available for specific needs (and also a multitude of bad ones) and once you have your intention it should be fairly easy to find one to suit your needs. However, should you chose to try self hypnosis without the aid of a recording you can follow the self hypnosis script below. Just keep practising your self hypnosis everyday until you reach your goal.

A Quick Guide to Self Hypnosis.

Find a comfortable spot either sitting on lying down before you start your self hypnosis session. Ensure you will not be disturbed as this will weaken your self hypnosis. Take a deep breath, in through your nose out through your mouth. This will relax your body.

As you begin the self hypnosis keep your head and neck straight. Focus on a spot in front of you but that is slightly higher than your line of sight so you have to look up without moving your head.

Now tense your toes for several seconds and then release the tension allowing them to relax. This lets you notice the difference between tension and relaxation. Next tense you lower legs and release, then your upper legs and release. Do this for all the muscle groups of your body until you have even relaxed your face and scalp.

Before long you will find your eyes are beginning to strain and you may wish to close them. This is natural in the self hypnosis process and is due to how you are using your eyes. Close your eyes and mentally count down from 10 to 1. Breathe deeply and imagine that there is an escalator in front of you and get on. Once you reach the bottom mentally count down from 5 to 1.

Enjoy this self hypnosis feeling of relaxation for a few seconds before you imagine a long winding set of stairs. Walk down them and then count back from 5 to 1 again. You are now in a state of trance.

Now that you're in a state of self hypnosis you should recall the mental image you created earlier. Watch it like you would watch a film. Be a witness of the scene and watch yourself in that situation. Feel the positive emotions associated with the scene. Once you feel good step into the body of that other you. Feel what they are feeling, see what they are seeing and enjoy the experience.

Enjoy your mental rehearsal for several minutes or until it starts to feel forced. Your mind re-programming is complete and you can now leave the state of self hypnosis. Mentally count from 1 to 10 while becoming more aware of your physical surroundings. Once you leave the self hypnosis state you will be vitalized and full of positivity for your goal.

Everyday, for about 30 days, practise this simple self hypnosis technique. You will be amazed at the results!
