Self-Hypnosis Preparations

You can help yourself through self-hypnosis. There are several steps to hypnotizing yourself successfully; to attain the goals you have set.

1. Relax. In order for the subconscious mind to take in suggestions, the body and mind must be relaxed. If you have difficulty doing this, try taking warm bath to relax the body first, and the mind will probably follow.

2. Move into deepening procedures. This will allow your mind to move from the conscious state to hypnotized. This is the ability to let go of your thoughts, stop waiting to become “hypnotized” and just let it happen.

3. Try the countdown method. When trying to drift off, and relax, try counting down from ten picturing yourself getting more and more relaxed with the passing of each number.

4. Suggestion application. This is where you clearly designate your goals, and tell your subconscious to act in a way that will achieve the goals. The most effective way to do this is to memorize them and organize them in advance so that you are prepared. The most effective suggestions are imagery, which involve no words. It is also important that the suggestions are simplistic and achievable.

5. Termination. This is the ending of your self-hypnosis session. Identify to yourself the ending of the session, which will provide a clear differentiation between your conscious and hypnotic state. Then you can freely go about your daily business.
