Hypnosis can be used in everyday life for many purposes. Some people do it to relax and others do it to clear their mind. Anyone can learn how to hypnotize themselves, you just need the determination to do it. Here is how to hypnotize yourself for beginners.
Before you start your session think what you want to get from it. You might want to program your mind to be accepting of new ideas or you might just want to unwind. Then find a spot when you can practice your hypnosis in peace and lay down, or sit if you prefer. Close the eyes and breath slowly and deeply.
Relax all of your body. Do this by relaxing each part in turn, perhaps start at the soles of your feet and allow the relaxation to travel up the body. The first few times you do this it might take a while for you to totally relax – but do it enough and you will find that it comes easily as times passes. A lot of people liken this stage to feeling as though they are powerless to move almost.
The next stage is to slowly count down from the number ten to the number one. Try not to speak out loud during this as it will break your concentration. By the time you are at number one you should be hypnotized and feel very calm and undisturbed.
Whilst you are there you can stay relaxed or you can begin to think about what you would like to be in your subconscious. The choice is yours. As soon as you want to be back in reality you should count from the number one up to the number ten. When you reach the number ten you need to tell yourself to wake up and be alert. Then you will have achieved self hypnosis – so do this when you can.
