Learning self hypnosis can be a lot easier than it sounds. It can be learnt in the quiet of your own home without spending any money on things like books, audio tapes, expensive visits to hypnotists or spiritual gurus.
By practising a few of the best self hypnosis techinques, you can achieve a state of deep relaxation. Finding yourself a comfortable place where you will have complete quiet is one of the first things you should aim for. You dont want to be disturbed while trying to learn self hypnosis.
You will also need to learn how to completely relax all your muscles and whether this is best achieved by sitting up or laying down. Learning what you need to do once in a subconscious state is also very important.
Going Under
Reaching a subconscious state can often be referred to as “going under”. Generally this means that the conscious mind is “asleep” and the subconscious mind is more accessible. You will be able to achieve this yourself after learning some basic self hypnosis techniques.
It should be noted that various people use various techniques to put themselves under so use what works for you. You might also come up with self hypnosis techniques of your own that aren’t listed here.
First, find a comfortable spot where you won’t be disturbed for a long period of time. When you’re first starting out, it may take you an hour or more to officially go under. This quiet location could be your bedroom, a local park, or it you could even choose your backyard with the sun shining on your face. You should make sure the place offers complete peace and quiet so that you can concentrate on the rest of the self hypnosis techniques.
Focus on your breathing, relax every muscle in your body and concentrate on not thinking about anything at all. Soon, you’ll find yourself in a deep state of relaxation. This is as close to sleep as you can get without actually falling asleep. Once there, you can do whatever you want to do.
Some people use a self hypnosis script to cause themselves to relax, and also to give themselves instructions and suggestions once their under. This script can include mantras on quitting smoking, losing weight, remembering more things, becoming a stronger person, or anything else you think you need to become a better person.
Your body and mind know what it needs so let yourself be your own guide while learning these self hypnosis techniques and you’ll soon find yourself an expert at putting yourself under.
