learn self hypnosis

If you want to try self hypnosis(don't worry its safe) just go ahead and a grab any small object that you can tie to a thread to form a small pendulum, after doing so hold the thread from above and let the pendulum freely swing sideways , then focus on the pendulum while its swinging and start to visualize the small object going into round circles instead of just going sideways, few moments later you will find that the object moving in circles although you didn't do that on intention, what happened here is that the suggestions went to your subconscious mind and caused your muscles to move in such a way so that it drove the object in a circular motion, congratulations, you have just made your first successful hypnosis experiment !!

self hypnosis is almost the same as this experiment you just did , the only difference is that you will be in the deep trance state(the state where you your conscious mind will be half awake) while hearing suggestions . let's look at a real self hypnosis test this time . go on and do the following steps:

self hypnosis steps

1- go to a calm place where you can relax and where no one can disturb you

2- lie on your back on a bed or comfortable sofa

3- close your eyes and start to breath deeply, the more deep you can breath the higher the success percentage

4- start now to focus on each part of your body and visualize it relaxing. for example focus your thinking on your right arm,feel it and then visualize it relaxing,you can use words like "relax" or phrases like "i am relaxing now",after relaxing your right arm turn your focus to your left arm and do the same , and so on until you pass by all of your body parts,finally focus on your whole body and visualize it all relaxing.

5- you can repeat that several times until you feel you are really about to sleep

6- now imagine that a a helium balloon is tied to your right arm and that it is pulling it up and that the helium balloon is so large so that it can lift your arm up, keep imagining the balloon pulling your arm up.

7- wow, your arm may have started to fly up!! , again you are successful!!

self hypnosis for changing ideas and beliefs

now you can do the same while suggesting something different than the balloon thing, after all you don't plan to fly , for example if your problem was concerning being afraid of an upcoming presentation you can imagine yourself performing it very well while being super confident, Visual images are one of the strongest forms of suggestions, if you have successfully done this many times before your presentation you are most likely to perform in the same way that you have visualized.

in case you have the problem of going to a very deep trance so that you can't focus on suggestions its very useful to have in advance a recorded tape of suggestions, now you can repeat the whole process but this time the tape will be guiding you instead of using your mind.

more uses of self hypnosis

you can change almost any behavior that you don't like by imaging yourself performing well without doing the unwanted behavior, you can visualize your future goals or plans in order to raise your motivation levels , you can imagine yourself exercising well,lifting higher weights and so on , whatever you can imagine can be your source of suggestions that goes directly unfiltered to your subconscious mind.

All of that works because one of the main rules for operation of the subconscious mind, is that whatever suggestions it receives it does its best to make it come true, those suggestions act as a master plan for the subconscious mind that it follows as much as it can.
